Message: <blockquote data-quote="DEFCON 1" data-source="post: 1893184" data-attributes="member: 7006">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...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.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.</blockquote>
