The Guard doesn't Notice -or at least doesn't seem to- the medallion and seems to ponder the Pouch. "Interesting choice..." He takes the pouch from Jaspil and looks it over, verifying that it was just a pouch of odds and ends then hands it back to him. The Guard Ushers Jaspil into a room that is about 15" by 25", it looks to be a repurposed storage room where different oddities and specimens line old storage shelves. It's fairly dark in the room, only lit by a few spares candles. The Goliath pulls out an old bar stool up to a table and points to it. "Sit, There, Now." He sits at the opposite side of the table. "Now tell me... How did you get that ghastly cut?"
Intimidation- To extract information: 18
(OOC - I'm not sure how you want to handle this mechanic. Was there a DC for that or is it a contest? Since you didn't give a result or DC, I'm going to presume contest first to see if he can force me to tell him what actually happened. Then after I RP my response, a second contest roll to see if I can deceive or persuade. If you want a different way, I can re-do it. I haven't really seen an NPC use a skill like that vs. Player before.)
Intimidation - To oppose extracting information:20 NPC Succeeds
Jaspil willingly follows the guard into the room and sits where he is instructed. He starts to speak but immediately stops, a little bit worried about what this Goliath might do. He continues a bit haltingly. "Look, I was attacked earlier. A pretty bad scratch. But it is all good now."
Persuasion - to get the guard to believe what was said: 25
OOC- I forgot to toss in DC 10 But i like how you went with it, Future reference, if im dumb and forget to toss in a DC, DC=10.Also I think that will be the Mechanic for basic Intimidation if you wish to oppose being intimidated.)
The Guard nods and Looks at the Cut, He looks like he believes the story but follows up with another question. "What scratched you..." He watches Jaspil very closely now as he taps the table softly, impatiently.
(OOC - More than happy to roll with things and keep things going!)
"Someone tried to rob us. But we managed to get away. You can see there really wasn't much blood. It just looked bad." Jaspil shrugs, "It really is almost already healed."

"Your lying about something... And im gonna find out what before you leave this town... now down to the basics, Do you have anything to declare? What is your reason for coming, you get it and i dont care." The Guard gets up and pushes on the wall behind him, it opens like a door and shows the streets of River Root and he shoves Jaspil out it. The town was big for a small village. It had many homes and shops but they all looked abandoned or boarded up, as if there had been a looting. Down the street is a house that would catch ones eye due to the crying child on the front porch to a dilapidated house. You can picture that once long ago this was a rich place, filled with nobles and Knights. but now it was reduced to Poor, and some rich, Dwellers. The only places that seemed to have maintenance done to them is a large building off the side of the gates, a building What is presumably a Tavern a wee bit up the street and a Library.
As he's being pushed out, Jaspil quickly says, "Umm, nothing to declare. We were just sent to talk to someone in the tavern."
He then takes a moment to look around at River Root, taking in the city. Spotting what looks like the tavern, he is set to head off. Before he does he gives a look back to the Goliath. "So I'm free to go? I just come back here to get the rest of my stuff?"

He nods. "When you leave, Come back here and you can get your junk. But not a moment sooner than when you leave. And do keep out of trouble when your here, I will have my eyes on You." He turns around to shut the "Door" but then stops "Wait for your friends by the gates... Not safe for a weakling like your self to be all alone around here..." With that he shuts the "Door" and now the spot looked indistinguishable from the rest of the wall.
As Jaspil was carried off Golmeg, Tempest and Shandri all head for the gate and are given similar instructions. Only one item other than the clothing one them and coin pouches, No weapons, and if they had anything to declare and there reason for being here. The Goliaths who were guarding the gate seemed to be in a chatty mood as they pointed out random seeming things just to strike a conversation.

Tempest puts everything wherever it needs to be placed except his coin pouch, his clothes, and his shield.

One Goliath looks at Tempest and shakes his head. "You cant have that... You could bash a head in with it. No weapons" He didn't seem the brightest but he did seem very stubborn.

Jaspil turns once the 'door' has closed, trying to mark the spot so he can find it again. He then slowly makes his way over to the gate, keeping his eye open for any signs of trouble. Once he nears the gate he scans for the others.

Jaspil sees little other than a man in the distance who was clearly watching him. Not even trying to hide it. He wore a Black Cloak with some plate armor underneath it. with in seconds the man turns and disappears into the shadows behind him.

Jaspil curses silently under his breath as he tries to get to the gate as quickly as possible and tries to catch sight of the others from the party. He tries to find some dark corner, alcove, or other out-of-the-way spot that he might be able to break sight of anyone behind him but still have a reasonable view of those entering the town.
Stealth - if a spot is found where he might hide: 18
Shandri puts her items where instructed to, except her coin pouch and her leather armor and says: "May I please bring at least one of my bows inside I promise I won't shoot anyone or anything" giving one of the guards a wink as she said this

As Jaspil Moves quickly he finds the only places where one could hide were the abandoned stores or homes, Or an alleyway.
The Guard stops for a moment and blinks, Looks down, then sighs. "Fine... But keep it hidden... and if you cause any trouble with it, you snuck it in. Anything to declare and what is your reason for coming here?"
