OOC Sense motive roll 10 +6

Koralled grins at Zook failed bluff attempts Not again, this changelling will never learn He approaches Zook and say

"I don't mind if you play little games like you say, what bothers me is that you were trying to fool agent of the law. Why on Korvaire someone would want to fool the law, usually it's because they have something to hide. And if you have something to hide, maybe you shouldn't be travelling with me.He pauses reconsidering his position and add

"Zook, There are much better and useful time to practice your talent

"I will rater have you as friend Kolarred but don't expect me behave on your values, seems to me far to strict to be any good." He bends over to the Paladin and wisper "Besides the guard could use the practice of discover me himself, that will only help him... belive me"
"And there is a big difference in changing a little my appearance to make new friends, without the downlooking that I'm see to often these days, and murder and hiding behind a skill like mine." He looks on Kolarred "Don't you agree?"

"Let me invite you something in the nearest Inn Kolarred and lets be friends" *smiles*

"Tell me what good there is in trying to fool an honest men doing his job. The only valid reason to use deception, is to hide something from someone. By doing so you compromise theirs and our trust in you. The fact that you can lies to this honest men for no apparent reason and don't feel ashamed about it, greatly reduces my trust in you. If you can do it that easily to him, what tell me that you won't do the same trick on us.

If you aren't proud of who you are, then work on it. Lying to yourself about your identity will just worsen the problem not solve it. The paladin pauses for a second visibely dissapointed by Zook attitude and feeling the changeling still has a lot to learn. He then raises his head to look at him straight in the eyes.

"I never accept anything from people I don't entirely trust"

On that the paladin goes join the others.

There goes a man that have been thought that he is better than others, that his vision of life is the only correct... and that sens of humor don't exist *chuckle* Well... Paladins... they are what they are”

Zook smiles and sees if everyone is on the right side of the gate.

“And by the way” says Zook to the back of the Paladin ”You WILL see how you can trust this changeling, when in the eat of battle maybe its me that saves your metal bottom” ”he he he” He gets up to the side of Lynx “I have never been unpure of hearth with any of my group on earlier adventure and are not planing to be it either!” “Did the guard say where the Inn where?” "I'm getting thirsty with all this talking, and Orien are waiting for Tylor"

The halfling guard takes each person's identification papers one-by-one, checking off who they are to what they look like. Lynx, Tyler, Lyran and Donoval walk through the gates leading their horses without any problems.

However, when Zook attempts to get through the gate with his face looking like a young human male, the guard stops him from going forward. Zook smiles at him and begins speaking...


'...is it marked day?! what a smell this place have! You must be drowning in flowers over here, just on marked day does it smell like this and so good!, with less you people are blessed in some odd way'

The halfling puzzles over this for a second or two, because the identification papers clearly show Zook's real face of a changeling, and yet he didn't appear that way for some reason.

'Excuse me, sir... are you... you ARE this... Zook... are you not? Please show me your true identity so I can pass you through the gates.'

Before the rogue can respond, the paladin Sir Kolarred is on him immediately for wasting their time and trying to pull a fast one over on the guard. Pretty soon, the two of them have themselves a small little argument which the others in the group turn around to witness. The guard stands there watching everything unfold before him.


'There are no reasons for you to play your little trick, these soldier are simply doing their jobs and can be trusted, they are Karnathi soldiers.'

'But Sir don't be so grumpy! I'm just having a little fun. ... Sir, I please ask you to not blow my skills in front of strangers if not very important. If I do something that you find questionable please let me know in person and as private as possible. Don't be so strict... he he he.'

'I don't mind if you play little games like you say, what bothers me is that you were trying to fool agent of the law. Why on Korvaire someone would want to fool the law, usually it's because they have something to hide. And if you have something to hide, maybe you shouldn't be travelling with me. Zook, there are much better and useful time to practice your talent.'

'I will rather have you as friend Kolarred but don't expect me behave on your values, seems to me far to strict to be any good. Let me invite you something in the nearest Inn Kolarred and let's be friends.'

'Tell me what good there is in trying to fool an honest men doing his job? The only valid reason to use deception, is to hide something from someone.

'You WILL see how you can trust this changeling, when in the heat of battle maybe it's me that saves your metal bottom... he he he. I have never been unpure of heart with any of my group on earlier adventures and are not planning to be either!'

Sir Kolarred just shakes his head as it's obvious that his words went right through one ear of the changeling and out the other. He walks forward away from the changeling and joins the others on the other side of the gate. Zook gives his lopsided grin to them all once more then begins walking forward towards them as well. However, before he can take more than two steps, the halfling guard's arm reaches out and grasps the changeling before he can go any further.

'Hold please, sir. I fear I must ask you to wait. I will need to speak to you further about some things, particularly what is your business here in Vedykar. We don't take kindly to potential troublemakers.'

The guard turns to the other five men who are waiting for Zook to come through.

'You men are free to go. Enjoy your stay in Vedykar. If you are looking for a fine inn to stay at, the Inn of the Golden Embers is recommendable. Straight ahead and take your fourth right. Two blocks down from there. Good day.'

He then nods to another gatesman standing a few yards away with a firm grip on his halberd, and then turns to the changeling, leading the rogue towards the guard's postroom next to the gate.

'If you would follow me please? Thank you.'

OOC: Zook, please roll whatever Charisma check you would like (Diplomacy, Bluff or Intimidation) to be your response to the guard.

Koralled watches the scene with sadness and while he is not convinced of Zook complete innocence, he isn't convince of his guilt. He turns towards the others and say. "Zook might not be bad, he is just a bit too young and immature"

Koralled using his personal presence and magnetism approaches the soldier. "Gentlemen, this young changeling is travelling with us. He is still young and discovering his potential. He didn't mean to fool you, he just wanted to play a little. As a soldier of Karnath myself, I know that we can't play with the law, but he isn't from here, and our laws are a bit strange to him. I ask you gentlemen to release this changeling. I Koralled D'hui will take entire responsability for his act within the wall of this city and am willing to bring myself responsible of any wrongdoing from his part. Koralled looks at the soldiers with cold and sincere eyes, really beleiving what he just said.

OOC Diplomacy roll 8+12= 20

Lynx follows the exchange between Koralled and Zook with an ever increasing frown, his feline eyes slowly narrowing to mere slits.

'So much for entering this town without causing a great disturbance.'
the Shifter quietly hisses at his cat.

'I bet we'll be expected at the Golden Embers now before we even get to ride those four blocks.'

Winceing once more at Koralled's bold statement, Lynx nervously shifts back and forth in his saddle, wondering how he might defuse the situation before the not only the city of Vedykar, but also the rest of Karrnath will be gossiping about the Knightmares arrival.
 

Donoval Johns nods in agreeance with Sir Kolarred's proclamation to take resposibility for the changeling's behavior.

'That is very good of you, Sir Kolarred. The Royal Swords could certainly use men of your calibre.'

He turns the to the rest of the group.

'Well if you will excuse me, gentlemen, I really must go and report in. Our unfortunate loss of such a good man as Aaron cannot be unaccounted for for too long. I hope you find whatever it is you are looking for, and perhaps our paths may cross again as I prepare my hunt for Horik Laan. Good day.'

The Royal Swordsman nods, and then turns and leaves.
 

"Do we know where the Inn is?" Zook looks at his surroundings trying to make out the buildings, and if one of them are obvious the Inn “Golden Embers”.

Search Roll(1d20)+8: 14,+8 Total:22
 

Koralled looks at Zook with a sceptical air. "Please prove me that I did the right thing" He then address a silent prayer to the gods, asking them to protect Zook from himself.
