"I think it would be in our best to avoid this fight. We don't want our enemies to know we are here just yet." Akyan dismounts Fane and ties the reins to the saddle. "Do as I do." He walks over to the bouncer, then looks behind him, past the rest of the group as if looking for someone else. He leans closer to the Bouncer and whispers, "I'm meeting a client here. The rest of them are with me as well. We would appreciate it if you kept us being here a secret. Don't want anyone tailing us." He flashes two gold coins before the bouncer's eyes.

Deception: 22

After what could have been the wierdest dream Xo has ever experienced, he wakes up and stretches his massive arms. Realizing he has been cloned, thankfully while he was sleeping, he feels uneasy before entering the cart with the rest of the group, ignoring Malikily's odd hesitancy. The cart stops abruptly, and Xo doesn't seem to know why.

(Assuming Akyan's deception fails:)

Then Xo sees a humanoid cat and other beings, and he isn't sure if they mean any harm, so he grabs his pike without readying it, and puts on an intimidating face just to be safe. Watching the furry intently, he mentally prepares for a fight.

“As much as I would like to let you in,” the Tabaxi replies. “However, my boss doesn’t allow in anyone that I don’t recognize.”

"That's it." Malikily steps forward, "Malikily Waterbearer, prince of the kingdom of aqauriun, and I demand that you let us in at once!" Malikiky pulls the shortsword from its scabbard and holds it in the air.

(Also, is there a water source anywhere near where we are?)

Akyan raises an eyebrow at Malikily, then addresses the Tabaxi. "Ignore him, he's not all there if you know what I'm saying. As for the other matter, I'm sure you would recognize me. Unless of course you haven't ever been outside of this city. There are wanted posters with my face plastered on them all across these lands."

Malikily puts down his shortsword and looks confused, then it slowly dawns on him that Akyan just called him crazy, he looks angry and says, "I assure you I am not crazy!"

Thalanil contemplates the implications of him being a clone and a real "self" of him, in another plane altogether. He doesn't realize that he's the last one in the tavern, still pondering about his cloned existence. He hastily exits the tavern, and follows the others. When he finally catches up, he sees that the rest are in front of a establishment called Blushing Wyrm, and they are having some kind of hold up. He raises his hand and tries to say something, but he's out of air from the running that he just did, and he end up not saying anything. He tries to catch his breath instead.

Malikily puts his shortsword back in his scabbard and says, "Cat man, I demand entry to this establishment, and I am not afraid to butcher anyone who tries to stop me."

Intimidation: 16

The Tabaxi seems to ponder this for a time, then looks inside the window at the people inside. The green tinted windows reveal a slow business for the baristas. “I suppose you can enter.” The Tabaxi opens the door. “But if you get in trouble, I never saw you.”

Akyan flicks a coin towards him, "Good, this never happened then." With that he walks into the tavern.

Perception: 13

Malikily walks in with no small stride and beckons for the others to follow

Malikily looks around the tavern to get a feel of where he is.

Perception: 2

The Blushing Wyrm is a haven for New Mibeji criminals. A Tortle mans the barstools, and Akyan can visibly see at least seven wanted criminals from the posters in the Gilded Demon.

Malikilu walks over to the barkers and tosses him a gold coin, "I'll have an ale, please."

Xo eyes the Tabaxi as he walks by him, disappointed there was no battle to take place. Xo sees Thalanil trying to catch his breath, so he holds the door open for him in a kind, though impatient, manner.

After Malikily gets his ale, he walks over to an empty table and sits down.

Taking note of the criminals, Akyan creates a telepathic link between himself and Aaron.

"Do you see anyone you recognize?" (Aaron can respond to this telepathically as well)

Akyan also approaches the bar, tossing the bartender a coin. "I'll take some ale as well."

Malikily puts his hood on and pulls it over his face, concealing everything but his mouth, then he scans the bar for the Tressym.

Perception: 16

Rieka smiles at Thalinel as he arrives. 

"Hey, I was wondering where you got to," she whispers to him as she enters the Blushing Wyrm, casting a deathly look at the tabaxi as she does. "Sorry we left without you."

Taking in the many criminal faces inside the establishment, Rieka once again flicks her hood up over her face, covering her eyes. She sits down at Malikily's table, though she makes sure to sit in the furtherest possible seat from the water genasi.
