[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 4230757, member: 386"] [color=sienna]Rolled [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1600258/]1d20=17[/url]+9 for Streetwise, that's a 26 - success![/color] Tira heads out into the streets, chatting up strangers while Erias and Skamos deal with the ritual. The villagers are friendly, but they keep their conversations with Tira as short as they can without being rude. They just don't trust her. Tira decides to make the best of it - it's a nice day and she's tired, so she heads over to the local inn. She sits down at one of a pair of unoccupied tables on the front porch, putting her feet up to let the ache drain out of them. The summer sun, a scourge during the chase, now feels warm and relaxing. The innkeeper takes his time serving her, bringing her a cold drink. "Sorry for the wait," he says. "I'm a little short-staffed. I'm sure you heard." Tira doesn't push him. A few more drinks go down. The innkeeper sits at the table next to Tira on the porch and lights a pipe, leaving the inn empty. Tira realizes she hasn't seen the innkeeper's wife, and asks after her. "Mother's gone into the old city," the innkeeper says, "to gather some crypt cloth for a proper burial shroud. I told her no, but... well, she never listens to me. Just like her daughter." He exhales a ring of smoke. "Should be safe; the sun's still high, and she's doing a child's work. I'm guess I'm just jumpy." He gets up from the table. "Look, Tira," he says, "you seem like good people, and Borden says you're just trying to help. But all these questions you've been asking people - makes them antsy, upsets them. Now I want to find that bastard who killed my Connie, and I'm glad for your help; but when mother comes back, just let the questions drop. She's sensitive and I got to protect my family." [color=sienna]So yeah, if it's not obvious from that, it's obvious to Tira - Shalmanisar has taken the innkeeper's wife's shape. She might be dead, too. edit: I just saw that Tira has 18 Cha. I hope I didn't push "the people don't accept you" bit [i]too[/i] much.[/color] [/QUOTE]
