Into the Moral Darkness: IC

[Velmont]

Bertrand looks at Joffrey and after a second of silence. "Yes... yes. He is expecting me." he tells.

Joeffrey is alone, if he has a doubt, he will see with teh baron if he is expecting me, I'll have the chance to be in ear reach of the Baron... after that, it will be easy.

Thinks Venial, hoping he has been just enough convincing so the doubt enter the guard mind.

 

[Nonlethal Force]

The guard replies, "Wait here while I interrupt him. And who may I say is calling, sir?"

 

[Velmont]

"Bertrand" tells Venial. As he looks Jeoffrey entering the room, Bertrand will wait spying on the reaction of teh Baron. If it seems he won't recieve him, Bertrand will quickly enter he tells aloud to the Baron.

"My Lord, I am sorry to interrupt you, but would you dare to give one minute to a servant who's loyalty have been running his his family blood like hunting in yours."

[SBLOCK=OOC]Trying to use bluff to hide a message in another. He tries to identify himself to the Baron, using a variation of the first compliment he has told him, when he was hunting at Elk Water five years ago.[/SBLOCK]

The guard spins and draws his sword quickly and positions himself between Venial and the mayor. From along the walls that Venial was unable to see through the narrow crack in the door, four more guards pull out there swords and quickly form a barrier between the Baron and Venial.

A tense moment of silence ensues before the Baron speaks. "Calm down your dogs, Sergeant." He steps through the line of guards and presents himself before Venial and takes a close look at him. His expression reveals that he doesn't recognize Venial and seems to be searching for some kind of explanation of the events.

He speaks as he overlooks Venial inquisitively. "I've no idea why a stablehand would need to interrupt my dinner, but I'm not about to punish one of my own servants as if he was a prisoner. Sergeant, if he is willing take him and a second guard to my chambers and wait for me there. Say nothing to him until I arrive and do not let him speak either. I will finish my dinner in a civilized fashion."

The head guard looks down upon Venial and scowls. "Will you go willingly, stablehand?" There is a definate condescending tone inthe guard's voice. The rest of the guards look as though they desire to stow their weapons but are waiting for Venial to make the next move.

 

[Velmont]

Bertrand node silently, looking like if he had been found guilty of something really bad.

Just don't take too much time... or I'll need ot repeat my spell and that might be tricky if the guards stay in the same room than me.

Bertrand follow the guards to the Baron chamber and will advise what is better to do there to keep is disguise in effect.

[SBLOCK=OOC]Is teh Baron starting his dessert? [/SBLOCK]

 

[Nonlethal Force]

[Sblock=OOC]Hehe. You got somewhat lucky. I decided to roll 3d20 to represent how much time is left in the meal. [About one of the few times you want to root for a 1 on a d20! Here's the following rolls: 1, 3, 13. So, 17 minutes later the Baron arrives.] Unfortunately, with a duration of 10 minutes/level ...

I'll let you figure out what Venial is going to do.[/Sblock]

 

[Velmont]

[SBLOCK=OOC]So the Baron do not arrive before the spell expire (or at least, 5 minutes before teh spell expire, which would be the time where Venial would start to think to renew his spell. What the Baron's room looks like, do the guard stay inside the room to watch over Bertrand or outside? Maybe just roleplay the waiting and I'll be able to figure that all.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Nonlethal Force]

[Sblock=OOC] Yes, unfortunately the defeat position of the guard will be to stay in the room to keep watch. I'm not intentionally trying to be difficult... [/Sblock]

The guards take Venial (Bertrand) to the Baron's office and both guards join him inside the room. "Well, now. Here we wait. You had best hope nothing happens to the Baron while he's finishing his meal now that some of his guard are no longer in the room. And this had better be important."

The Baron's office has a large oak desk, well tall and big enough for Venial to comfortably rest under the cut-out portion for the legs. There is a high-backed oak framed chair with leather cushions currently pushed so that the seat part is under the desk. The desk has file drawers on both the right and the left of the chair.

The walls are lined with fancy paneling and pictures depicting the major historical moments of Fenneress. There is also a significant map upon the wall opposite the desk with Fenneress upon it and the land divided. in each section of the land there are large names printed. Some in black, some in red. For example, the Baron's name is in black. The name over the city of Trappersdale happens to be in red. There are smaller names within each geographic division and some of these are in black and red as well.

Between the map on the wall and the desk there is a large rectangular oak table with 16 chairs. (2 at the ends and 7 down each side). The table is the same height as the desk. All in all, the room is nearly 40 feet long and almost 20 feet wide.

 

[Velmont]

Bertrand, since he is in the room, seems to have difficulty to stay quiet. He seems to always need to move. At first, it might looks like he just wanted to pass his nervosity into walking around, but quicly, it become obvious he need to satsify some natural needs. As Venial calculate there a bit more than five minutes left before his spell expire, he turns to one of the guards.

"Hmmm... heuu... can I just ask one thing?" Bertrand tells with an hesitation, knowing he wasn't suppose to speak to anyone, not even the guards.

 

[Nonlethal Force]

The captain of the guard merely looks to Venial and raises an eyebrow without saying a word.
