OOC feel free to continue the discussion. I will assume that it happened before the visit.
As you are discussing around the kitchen table eating Jasper's aunt copious breakfast, Uncle Joe appears. His hair still wet from his showers and impecably dress. "Let's get ready, the Baron is waiting for us. Jasper, Oculus I told the Baron you had something important to discuss with him. Jasper, the only problem is that he knows you left with Captain Farimond, it took everything to convince him for you to join them. Now with what we learned yesterday. I don't know if it's still a good thing to send you there. What if he works closely with Uder, that will blow your cover.
On the other hand if he doesn't we might get some indirect help? I really don't know, I am getting too old for this.

Xavier continue his way towards the citadel. He is stoped at the gate of the banking sector but is quickly allowed access. A men wearing such fine cloth and armor usually hasn't any problem getting in that part of the town. He continue towards the castle. The streets inside this section are extremely clean, large houses, business headquarters and banks on both sides of the street. Xavier doesn't have time to investigate the area further and heads front. He notices that the area is heavily patrolled by city guard. Everything here seems very peacefull.
Xavier approaches the Baron citadel. Xavier can see that the castle is very well maintained, he almost can't see any moss or broken part. On his right he sees a few worker actually repairing a portion of the external wall. Xavier can see the main dungeon of the castle. From there a vigil can see the entire city and far beyond.
The two guards at the entrance don't look like the average town guards. Xavier can notice (knowledge nobility roll 9+7 DC 10) badges from various Mergovian combat units on their uniform. Their physical presence is also intimidating. Xavier easily sees years of combat experience behind the two soldiers belt.
As he approaches, they recognise Xavier's station. "Welcome Sir Roces, you are expected. If you don't mind waiting a few minutes we will get the captain." Xavier is allowed inside and offer a confortable chair where he can seat and wait. A few minutes later a large bald dwarf wearing the Mergovian army uniform enters the room. Xavier [Knowledge nobility +7 DC 5] recognises the men ranks on his uniform.
The dwarf talking with a strong accent of the eastern part of the country says
"Good Morning Sir Roces, I will escort you to Jt'trialaila your hostess. If you please follow me."
Xavier follow the dwarf through a long corridor. The corridor is richly decorated to impress visitor. The dwarf stops in front of a door and knock announcing your arrival. A soft voice answers back and Xavier is allowed in.
A beautifull young (in the low one hundred)tall elven women is standing in the richly decorated room. The room contains a very large and confortable oak bed and many furnitures made of massive wood. In the center of the room Xavier can see a large stone fireplace all richely carved.
The elven women is also very well dress and in her way of addressing you and acting seems very aware of Mergovian etiquette.
"Sir Roces, my name is Jt'trialaila I am here to make sure that your stay will be a pleasant one. I will leave you for now, this will be your room, put yourself at ease, I will be back in an hour. Then smiling in a very formal manners she leaves the room silently.
