Intrigue In Candara

[National Acrobat]

Ariel turns to the guards that are around, using her best diplomatic skills (Diplomacy +14) "please good sirs, I would ask you to escort myself, my companions and his Highness to the Temple, there is much that he needs to divulge so that we may know our foe and I fear for his safety here in the streets. If you want to see Candara free from the evil menace, we must know what the Emperor knows. I beg you, for our country and freedom!"

OOC: what the hell, she can use her Oratory Perform check of +5 if she needs to as well.

Finnegan turns before the Emperor sees his face, Shifting as he did so, becoming Crolmyr Mac Brogyln once again. Turning to the Emperor, he said
'Well, what an odd sight, finding your August Self here,Emperor.Odd indeed.I, too, am a Kelt, Crolmyr Mac Brogyln, from Caer Suduach in the South of your Great Empire. This last was said with a smile and a great showing of teeth.I hope we can aid you in your Plight.'

Finnegan said nought after this, watching to see what sort of situation the Monster had got himself into.What Finn longed to do was to run this villain through with his Blade, yet that might jeopardize operations in several cities. No, Finnegan would wait until the time was right to kill the Monster.

"Crolmyr I am glad that you see the wisdom in gaining the information that the Emperor has. It will go a long way in helping our cause." Ariel gives Crolmyr a look, as if to say, thanks for the restraint.

The captain nods and starts about setting his team to the task of disposing of the beastly corpses. he then turns back to you. "I can escort you to wherever you need to take this.. man."

Looking up at 'Crolmyr', the Emporer nods and stands, trying to compose himself. "Aye, you can aid me, fair Crolmyr, and I can aid you, all of you. Get me inside, and we'll speak of whatever you people wish to know."

OOC: Does detect thoughts have any obvious effect? Does the subject realize you're doing it? If not, Auld will cast detect thoughts, and study the Emperor. If it does, he won't.

Auld looks at Crolmyr meaningfully. "Shall we accompany his Lordship, Crolmyr?"

 

[Uriel]

'Aye, my friend, I'm sure the Emperor would like a bit of peace and a fine Kelt Ale, I'm sure we can find one somewhere.'

 

[National Acrobat]

Ariel turns to the Captain, "thank you sir. I believe that we should either proceed to my temple or," motioning to Father Antonio, "the Temple of the Grey Lady. I believe either one would be appropriate."

Gustaf will give the Defeated creatures a few chops as everyone gets ready to move on to the temple. He's just never sure when something's going to get back up...

OOC: My ruling on detect thoughts is this : According to the PHB, it allows a will save during the 3rd round, or you can't "read" the thoughts. If the will save is failed, you can read their minds. If the will save is made by 0-5, you can't. If they make their save by more than 5, they know someone has tried to read their thoughts. This gives people with a lot of mental power a greater advantage, and better chance of noticing (Which seems fair).
So you gonna detect thoughts or not?

IC:

As the bodies are hacked a bit more (It seems some of the guards share your uncertainty), blood squirts forth but little else happens. Then the guards set about building a fire downwind of the city, and hauling the beasts there.

The Captain starts leading you to the temple (Pick one, doesn't matter to me) And once you arrive there, leaves to inform the council of what has happened. As soon as you start heading back into town, the Emporer puts his hood back up, knowing there are many who would have no qualms about killing him in cold blood.

Fear not your highness. We will not allow harm to come to you. I am Talisian De'Artain, I am at your service. Tal keeps a close eye on the crowd. Spook will try to stay as close to the Emporer as he can, even if it means getting in his lap and getting petted (Horrors said the cat. LOL)
