Smashed World, Part II

Durban

"Well, if everything is done for today, perhaps a rest is in order? We can stand watch while you sleep, and a little extra sleep for you means the three of us can get adequate sleep when not on watch.

"I'm sure you very tired with all the up-coming excitement," Durban says.

 

[Dalamar]

Durban, Horros, Lorcan
The young miss as rather sad.
"Will you promise to tell me a story in the morning?"

 

[Jarval]

"Certainly, m'lady, certainly." Lorcan assures Chendra. "As I've said before, there's nothing I like better than a willing audience. But as Durban says, we should get some rest. Hopefully you will sleep feeling a little safer with myself and my companions on guard."

Durban

Durban looks relieved when Lorcan takes up the offer of telling a story.

"Before you retire, it's best if we look through your room, make sure we know out the layout. Escorted by you, of course."

 

[Dalamar]

Durban, Horros, Lorcan
"But you will not be residing in my chambers while I sleep."
Chendra is back to her royal tone and is smoothing out the wrinkles in her dress.

Durban

Durban turns bright crimson. "No ma'am, that's not what I meant at all. I just think if we have to rush in to save you, we should at least know the lay-out of your chambers, that's all. And we can look for any secret way into the room, some way that assassins might enter. Not us."

Durban looks panicky.

 

[Jarval]

Lorcan steps forward, patting Durban on the shoulder as he passes.

"As Durban says, we must know the layout of your rooms, only for your own safety. I'm sure you'd prefer us not to stumble into your wardrobe as we try to make our way to your aid." He smiles, trying to lighten the mood a little.

 

[Dalamar]

Durban, Horros, Lorcan
"I see... Go through the rooms quickly, I need my rest."

 

[Zhure]

Durban

Durban waits until either Horros or Lorcan enter the room; he's not going in on his own, nor first.

Once inside, Durban will take special note of all windows and doors leading inside, looking through each window to get a good idea of how accessible the opening is to the outside. Search, take 20, = 20 (So Durban's not a genius).

 

[Jarval]

Lorcan leads the way into the room, giving the doors and windows a cursory inspection (Search: 10 (taking 10) + 7 = 17). He does his best to memorize the layout of the room, then turns to Chendra.

"My thanks, m'lady. We'll leave you to your rest, and speak again in the morning if you so wish." He bows formally, before leaving her rooms.
