The guard turns and scowls at the small man before him. "I find it highly unlikely that you suddenly have to go when locked up with us. You should have thought of that beforehand." He gives a wry smile. "If you have to go, pick an area that is not carpeted and stone floor. It'll be easier to clean up. And perhaps the Baron will still see you favorably if you put some thought into the act - unlike interrupting his dinner."

[SBLOCK=OOC]Damned... 
Ok, let's try something 
[/SBLOCK]
Bertrand does answers, he seems just sad of his position and start to looks around. After finding a place in the room where the guards would not be able to see more than his head, he unties his legging. He awaits a moment and look at the guards. Bertrand doesn't dare to asks but seems distrub by teh guards presence and obviously seems to be unconfortable. After a moment, he tells to himself. "Useless... I cannot do it while I am watch." As Betrand is about to take up his legging he lose his balance and fall head first on the desk and fall on the ground, where he dissapear a moment form the guards sight. Betrands starts to curse and swear, but his speech seems hinder by the hit his mouth made with the desk.
[SBLOCK=OOC]Here what Venial tries. He fakes a fall that should hurt heavily his face. That way, he can curse something not very intelligible. As he swears and curses, he try to hide in that speach the verbal component of his spell. As he has fall out of sight, he can do his somatic compnent without being seen. He cast Disguise spell, but that time, Bertrand will look wounded and will be missing a teeth...
Now I just hope these two guards will have no pity so they won't hurry on Venial, and they have no clue of what a spell can be. That would have been a good moment to cast a Silent spell...[/SBLOCK]

The guards sneer towards Venial, but do not move. As he falls, smacks his head, and begins cursing the guards continue in their sour mood and do not leave the door. "Don't move until he stops cursing. Last thing I need to see is someone in the Baron's office with their pant down. Besides, if he did actually go on the floor, there'll be consequences that'll hurt more than the table. They have racks in the prison downtown for offenses like that."
It would seem that neither of the guards is coming to Venial's aid. The upside is that neither particularily cared what Venial said or did.

You won't have this pleasure... like if I would do such thing in the Baron's room... and it really hurt... my nose is bleeding a bit. Bah, it will be more convincing. That was low from me, but I just cast a spell in there face and they saw nothing. Lucky it wasn't a sleep spell or a rune, or they would be in real trouble. Now, I hope Bertrand will not suffer from the reputation I just made him. thinks Venial.
As Betrand stands up, his nose is slowly bleeding and his face is red from the bruise. He looks at the guards and his face become all red of shame. He unties his pants.
"I cannot in front of someone..." he just say before moving back to were he was waiting and starts to wait again. venial hopes the Baron will not delay his arrival. Venial starts to count the time again and will start to think of something in twenty more minutes.

Fortunately, Venial need not worry about another excuse (unless he wishes to keep the disguise up in the meeting with the Baron). On schedule (17 minutes from when Venial interrupted the Baron's dinner) the Baron arrives.
"Well now, my dinner is done and I have time for a bit of business. Sit, stablehand. Tell me of the problem that was so important that my dinner needed to be interrupted and these guards had to escort you here."

"I hope you will forgive me, sir, for my actions of tonight." Tells Bertrand, who kneel in front of the Baron. He put his hands together to pleed his forgiveness. As he do so, he makes sure to put in sight the ring of his mother. Again, he was hoping that would be enough to make himself identified.
"I am sorry sir. If I could have done otherwise, I would, but the trouble that strike me can only be solved by your highness. But again, a poison have strike my life like the one that strike yours three years ago. If I knew the antidote of my problem, I would have solved it without your intervention. But it isn't the case." Bertrand looks at the two guards a moment, as he hesitates. "It is hard to tell..."
[SBLOCK=OOC]Venial tries to make himself identified by the ring. He also refers to his adventure three years ago, when he was in mission for the Baron and he had report the poison made by his master, the wizard he was spying. Finally, he hopes the Baron will understand that he would prefers to be in private, without the guards, even if he doubt they would be the mole, he suspects they would not hold there tongue long enough that the true mole could learn the true meaning of Bertrand demeanor, which brought enough attention like that.
Transmitting a message should be a Bluff roll. With +11 (+13 as the Baron is human), I hope that time he will be able to make himself understand.[/SBLOCK]

The Baron seems to notice the ring without the hidden messages, although they certainly don't hurt, either. Once Venial is finished speaking the Baron grips Venial's hands and says, "Indeed. Well, I am confident your problems will find a proper solution."
He looks to the captain of his guard and says, "Captain, dismiss your guard back to his post and then take a position at the table. I believe that you may be needed to assist the young ... stablehand."
The guard only waits for a gesture from his captain before leaving the room. The captain of the guard ensures that the door is securely shut before sitting at the table behind where Venial is kneeling. He wears a bit of a confused expression but dares not initiate the conversation.
The Baron begins, "A cunning plan, friend. My captain is safe and needs to be briefed. Why don't you tell me what you have come to say?"

"Thank you." on that, Venial dismiss his spell. "No need of that anymore. Anyway, it would have expired soon. If I am here, you might understand my mission didn't happen as expected. Jairal havn't welcome me as expected, asking me to wait a moment. I put that welcome on a power trip that Jairal could pay himself in face of the emessary that visit him. But when I arrived to my room, the welcoming party was there. a few assassins. They expected me to get poison on the door knob, but I am familiar enough with poison now that I quickly saw it and avoid it. The assassin tried to jump on me and I barely escaped. To be honest, I never though I would see again Stalagmite for a moment, but an helpful hand took me, litteraly, to safety." Venial take a pause before continuing. He decide to keep secret for now the name of his help. "That help get me escape, but before leaving, I had the time to gather some information. Jairal, Garang, his steward, and some other of his men are following the cult of Vecna. I heard Garang discussing and even if he didn't openly told it, he never denied the accussation of his cult to Vecna. Jairal was planning to kill me and show the spy I was to the people, to get you ambarass. So I escaped, making sure I wasn't followed and I come here. The reason I gave me so much trouble to contact you directly rather by teh usual way, it is because the only way I could be discovered before I arrive was that he had someone that informed him. My lord, it seems there is a mole around you that is an ear for Jairal and Vecna."

The captain smirks as the spell vanishes. The Baron leans back in the chair behind his desk as Venial takes in the story. Once it is done, the Baron turns to the captain. "Of course you and I will need to come up with a plan clearing Bertrand's name. Now that you and I are in on this little one's game, that should not be difficult." The captain nods.
The Baroan addresses Venial. "In truth I was expecting you. I have my own moles in Jairal's organization and I ehard of the botched assassination attempt. Of course that scoundrel isn't saying anything openly except that the Steward was dismissed and sent back to Barghost for refusing to follow proper etiquette. Of course nobody believes him, but it is a likely excuse. I am glad that you are safe. although it will need to be a bit of time before I send you out on another mission."
He pauses and leans back in his chair. There is a deep look in his eyes. "Only one person knows of your existance then? If that is true then you did well in escaping and covering your tracks. That will make it easier to unseat him from power."
