Zmyth turns to look fully at the half-orc. "Sometimes, it seems our path is forged before us — like we have no say in it. As I said, I am Ravenite. My people were slaves to the Draconians for a very long time. The reason for our subservience? Because we have no tail," Zmyth almost spits. "I was lucky — the family my family was pledged to did not see us as less — they saw us as valuable employees. My master taught me right along with his own son. Because of that, I was able to join the Draconian army, despite how most of Draconia saw me. True, we Ravenites were a minor company of the army, relegated to jobs the rest of the army didn't want — but I was a soldier in the mighty Draconian army." He pauses, then continues, "Do not let how others see you determine your path. You may have to fight, but it's a fight worth fighting as long as you stay true to yourself."
Blitz the female human listens to you but then looks at the half-elf who shrugs.
"All right gnome we'll send the clerics here to remove the dead but in the future if you've got a problem please send for us and don't let us hear about it from drunken folk yelling in the streets," the blonde human explains with a sigh.
"Of course," Hykie says looking sheepishly at the bastions then to you Blitz before eyeing the older woman who's basically trying to cover her face and stay out of it all. "A round on the house for your trouble," he then offers but the bastions shake their heads.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Kriz you see Yelena's smile disappear into a grimace. "If you must know I was a Wintermarsh...once but they banished me," she then says curtly before stopping herself from going on. "You...it's best to leave them out of your plans knowing what I know and what's protecting them now that the old woman's gone," she explains taking another long drink of wine after the server refilled her glass. "What's your interest with them anyway? If it's money your after I have to tell you there's easier ways to make it my pretty," she adds her charm coming back as she eases the wine glass to her lips again.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Zmyth the half-orc looks genuinely in awe of you now. "I appreciate you sharing friend," the half-orc says with a soft smile. "I'm a half-orc and although my shruggles weren't nearly as harrowing as yours people still judge me too by my appearance alone even by wearing this armor which should tell them I am honorable," she adds pounding her fist to her bastion's garb.
Then in the distant Zmyth you see some movement in the crowd unlike people who've been milling around since you came outside. No, its a coach of some kind parting the busy crowd and it's heading right for the Hearty Haversack!

Kriz almost spills her wine at Yenara’s revelation.
”Banish you? That only shows how stupid they are! “ she pushes a little bit forwars to see how much information she could get. “I must be honest with you. I am not interested in their money, and only one of his members truly call my attention. And even it’s not him, but n object he has obtained that it seems that doesn’t belong to him. I am not sure of what will happen to him if they people that are looking for their property doesn’t get it back.”
“One of the grandsons of the old woman... Tobias. They say terrible things of him in the street. The kind that could take him in real trouble. I met him in Ank‘Arel so I would like to warn him and retrieve that object so ayone gets hurt. Specially him.”
"Tobias," Yelena exclaims as her expression darkens looking at you. "He's in trouble? From who? Who are you really," she asks. Kriz please make a WIZ save DC17!

Hahahaha! That’s what I was about to do to her! XD

(If she passes the ST and/or can still speak)
”Calm down Yerena please. I mean no harm for him, neither to you. I don’t know,and I don’t want to, who is truly searching for him. But they have both influence and money. But they don’t want him either, they just want a box back. What’s in it? None my concern. I just want to take the box back to them and be sure that no one more dangerous is hired to hunt him... please Yerena, if you know something, help me... help him...”
The magic spills off you and you're unaffected! Yelena see this and her eyes are burning with anger as well as fear of you!
"He was here," Yelena begins her tone shaken. "But I made him leave and I made sure he did not tell me where he was going," she adds her expression sorrowful. "You can check his room here if you'd like to see if he's left it behind but please after that just leave," she adds next her voice having been raised you notice the large half-orc in purple robes is approaching the table as well as two more guards from within the Sparrow ready to pounce on you. "Show her the guest room but then she leaves," she then says walking away from you.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
“Yerena please wait.” She dares to hold the woman by her arm, not agressively, just to catch her attention “ Believe me that I mean no harm to him or you. I will leave but now I think I understand him a little better. Thank you Yerena I truly hope that once all of this is finished we could still be friends. I will come back and let you know how all of this ends. I promise.”
She then leaves her gently and let the half-orc and the guards to lead her to the room.
She then searchs it throughfully and without haste, looking for any clue that might indicate where he could be.
Can’t give myself bardic inspiration can’t I? ;)
If been rolling high lately.. hope it keeps that way! ;)
“Now that everything is settled. I apologize once again for the inconvenience and I do hope you get your mother’s enchantments working again. Until then the best to you.” Blitz will then usher himself and the Lady outside in search of Zmyth.
Zmyth the coach stops and you notice it's the Wintermarsh crest on the door as it curves around the door facing the Hearty's front door where you and the half-orc stand guard. It takes a few minutes but you then see a slim, elderly man step out. He's wearing silver robes and has an expression on his wrinkled face as if he smells something horrible in the air! From the back of the coach two men step down in purple armor, they do not have weapons drawn but you can tell by the way they're both sizing you as well as the half-orc up they've got military training as well.
"Step aside," the wrinkled human man says waving his hand as he walks towards you he's flanked by the armored guards who look like they mean business.
Kriz you find nothing of use or value in the guest room that Yelena said was Tobias. Defeated your return downstairs and then are escorted out into the street outside the door which is unceremoniously slammed behind you. This gives you the distinct impression you're no longer welcome at the Gilded Sparrow but you take consolation in your winning as well as the insight you've gained in Tobias Wintermarsh!!
What do you do?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"Enchantments," the tall blonde exclaims looking around at you and then the gnome as Hykie glares at you with a deep loathing you've never seen on the gnome's face before.
"He's mad," Hykie begins with a sigh recompsiing his face. "What do dwarves known about magic," he adds. "He thinks a clean hearth and a warm meal is...is... magic," he adds next nervously looking around the tavern as if sizing up the distance to exits.

"Your pardon, sir," Zmyth says, standing at attention and looking over the man's head, "but our orders are to keep citizens from entering the tavern at this time. Our commander is inside speaking with the owner and taking statements from patrons following an incident." He gives the half-Orc a quick glance before looking over the wrinkled man's head.

OOC: Zmyrh here's the deal. The half-orc is considered an alley and you just rolled lower including her in your lie. You also failed to convince the man whom now with a 5 knows you're lying.
"He's not with the bastions," the half-orc speaks up looking at you with contempt now. "He's the guard to a dwarf involved in an incident," the half-orc explains glaring at you for including her in your failed deception now back on the muscle. "My captain however did instruct me to stand guard. What's your business here," she then asks moving her spear back to a defensive position.
"I am looking for a a wayward servant," the older man begins with a sigh. "We've taken care of her for quiet some time," the man says. "She's quite unwell," he adds as the guards behind him take a step forward behind him. "I'm perfectly fine waiting for your investigation to be completed to collect her," he adds as the half-orc nods.
"Very well," the half-orc replies, "wait here and we'll clear up your claims too," the half-orc adds curtly. "You," she then says turning to you Zmyth, "can go back inside," the half-orc adds her expression hard motioning with her spear head for you to go back into the tavern.
Just then two more bastions from the Terrance show up, they're jogging forward with weapons sheathed but look concerned about something!
"Is the captain here," one asks it's another half-elf but then one is female.
"Inside," the half-orc explains. "You can go in and take this one with you," she adds motioning to you now as the half-elf gives you a curious look Zmyth as she turns to the male half-orc with her before coming towards you.

“Yeah. You know the enchantments.” At recieveing the same look he suddenly says “Oh. Wait I remember you guys aren’t up on the latest lingo in Kraghammer. Enchantment means Dwarven Ale. Me and some friends kind of consumed it all last night and it was truly the best ale I’ve found in the entire city so far.” Blitz explains
