Crimson Sands of Time

(I agree with our DM regarding the fact that Angus or anyone else might not be able to identify Gravity as a shifter or weretouched until she decides to shift. Perhaps, it has something to do with her kitsune lineage, they're naturally deceptive.)

Gravity has dropped the screwdriver and lifted both of her hands over her head in surrender after sabotaging the items. "I can explain! We're not trying to start a scuffle here although it seems like we're doing the exact thing. People were hallucinating and they mistook my friend as a gigantic dino. See for yourself, he's totally harmless."

Sam looks oddly happy when this red wizards comes around “this would have been peaceful if your lousy guards know different species of huminods, primitive as perusal” 

sam will go to the dead guard and looks at him with respect “at least this one has some balls and try to do something” sam will quickly say something in draconic and takes 3 gold out “here” pointing to the nearest guard “give it to his family or loved one” 

then sam will holster his weapon 

Chadderly's response?

(Chadderly would be aware: Though paid rather poorly, the City Watch recieve fairly substantial bribes from the undividual Blades controlling the specific areas of the city.  Thus area is the jurisdiction if Blade of Justice Moragrin Shadweld, a veteran and thought to be personal advisor to the High Blade (though this is just public speculation and not an official role or public knowledge.)

<Chatterly is effectively controlling the 2 city watch, here. In the emergent situation, he would have the authority to actually order them to do things, but they're also not the best and brightest, generally less fit for service than those in the soldiery and far less than specialized overt and covert forces>

Tetrevess steps from where he was in the alleyway “I can attest that these guards were assaulting this one unprovoked,  the citizens here seemed to be scared of him, they must not see his kind often..”   (Looking at Chadderly  and the knight cautiously, while gripping his staff ready to cast a spell to escape should it be needed) You must be one of the Red Wizards I have heard of.  I have traveled from far away, I know nothing of this place and the customs here. “.

 (Sorry, somehow I thought she started as halfling size and then enlarged)

Angus tries to judge the sincerity and honesty of the three strangers who do not appear to be locals.  He cautiously examines the dead guards to see if any of them can be revived.

Medicine 8

"Chadderly..." he begins, "I think this has been a tragic misunderstanding.  Perhaps you can help these guards, and those still on their way here, to avoid further injury by redirecting them."

Turning to Sam, Gravity and Tetrevess, the paladin will say, "I am a recent arrival as well.  This city is not... overly welcoming to outsiders, especially those not of the human race.  That is not an excuse, but it is something you should be aware of, if you don't intend to engage in battles on every street corner.  Perhaps a little more discretion, and investing in some nice hooded cloaks might make your path easier...

"If I may be so bold, what brings such obviously powerful outsiders as yourselves to Mulmaster?  I find myself suddenly alone, and could use some stalwart allies... assuming they don't plan on fighting every guard in the city..."

(Angus still has quite a few reservations about Sam's behavior, but figures it would be easier to keep a close eye on him and prevent further unnecessary violence if they were companions).

<Chadderly has reason to believe that Angus is lying.>

 Angus, you can heal the guards. Please also roll an Int. (History) check

 Sam turns to this human walks to wards him in a somewhat calm fashion his holy symbol hanging out over the armour you see the ruby red eye just a normal the other a spahire blue has somewhat of a small shimmer of light from the inside “the action that I take where to heal, help or spread the world serpent words” looks towards gravity then back to Angus “humanity have been slaves and conquers before my people have been slaves forever first to dragons and now any race that sees fit to challenge” takes a pause for a second seeing the other people around him “what’s your name” 

History check on Angus order 21 

<in point of fact, the oldest and most powerful empire in the entire history of Abier/Toril were Sam's people.  They enslaved a lot of races and also sacrificed their own (exclusively at first). Also the reason Thay is replete with a multitude of dragon sculptures to this day, most modern architectural accents. This is canon, and relevant.  I'd have to see a specific question do come up with a DC for history on this.  It was thousands of years ago, but also a huge empire of immense power - folks might have heard of it, especially Thayans,  though concievabky also Tetrevess,  given his background, despite being from Oerth.  To thus wnd, Im not sure if Sam is lying or just ignorant. >

 (PM)

Sam has heard of the knights of Myth Drannor.  He knows they're a good-aligned knightly order from somewhere up North (relative to his home in Chult).

Cryptic Gravity

Gravity frowns at the mention of discriminatory behavior against non-human races since she's gravely concerned about her own security. When the knight in shining armor asks about the intention of their visit, she will try to explain everything from her own perspective.

"Sir knight, we stumbled across this place accidentally since we didn't know about our destination. We are ready to leave it anytime. But, you see that we're in the middle of an argument about something valuable. Do you know of a place where I can learn more about serpents?"

To the male dressed in red cloak (Chadderlay), "You seem like an honorable person, Sir Wizard, also authoritative in position. We'll follow your instructions."

(Angus was lying? Not intentionally, maybe I misunderstood something...)

Angus will bend over the downed guards and heal 1hp each to bring them back to consciousness (Lay on hands).  Helping them to their feet, he will deliver them to their comrades.

History 12

Answering Sam first, Angus repeats, "I am Sir Angus Killburney, of the Knights of Myth Drannor. I did not fully understand your words  but I assure you I respect your ancient people."

Turning to Chadderlay, he says, "Morwena and I have a complicated relationship.  Not that long ago we were trying to kill one another, but more recently we have a truce of sorts.  If we can keep out of trouble, I believe she will find us soon and explain everything."

To Gravity, he gives an amused look.  "You change subjects rapidly, friend, I'm not sure I can keep up.  Whether or not you intended to come to Mulmaster, you are in fact here now, so I suggest a little more discretion and diplomacy, or else a quick escape route from here on out."

Gravity mutters something to Angus that sounds a lot like the group of words 'silly royal pet'.

Angus will whisper to Chadderlay, "We need to get them out of sight.  Any guards that see them will stop them and ask for papers, and we'll be right back in the same mess.  Let's get off the streets as soon as possible.  Where's your place? Can we go there?"

You hear the approach of more armed units, moving as a group, coming from farther up the street to the East.  You see the first appear

<@everybody: I sort of expected Chadderly to fill you in on this - Angus is wearing a coat that marks him as a member if the Bastard Bulls - the racketeering arm of the organized crime syndicate in the city. Only Chadderly would likely know this.  The group is comprised of hedge nobkes who directly extort the Blades for protection money.   But agsin, Angus doesnt know this. I expected Chadderly would find it odd then thst he identified himself as an out of towner and a Knight of Myth Drannor. Ita not impossible,  but the real issue is when he meets someone feom the cri.e syndicate, who would discern at length that he is not in fact a member of rhe group.>

(Has Angus noted anything unusual in the way the city guards regard him?  Do they seem more hostile than one would expect? Fearful? Grovelling?

Also, is the underground space where he portalled in closer and/or more hidden and accessible than the Library?)

Insight 9

Quote from Brian_Avery >>

"I'm staying at the Embassy and the Library is basically right next door. Either will do, let's move!"

Chadderlay will lead the group down the next street, North or South, whichever leads directly to the Library. If the first armed unit to appear seems to notice them then Chadderlay will attempt to wave them off.

(How far away is the first armed unit when he appears? Does he notice us ducking down the North or South street?)

 “Right let’s go then” and will cast disguise self at first level to look like one of the humans he has seen on the streets 

Cryptic Gravity

"Not at all, Sir. Learning about world serpent is not our primary intention. I'd say that we're just a group of adventurers looking for an adventure. We've managed to teleport here from Oerth, it's located in the Greyspace." Gravity explains everything while following the red cloaked male without giving it a second thought. She has picked up a shield from the cluster of weapons and armors and claimed it for herself.

Tetrevess says cautiously..”well, we stepped through a planar gate opened by Heward to arrive here, and I believe we moved far both in time and space.  I’m a scholar and traveler.   I’d welcome some company that can help keep these two out of trouble.   I’ve been warned that the use of Magic is illegal here except by members of the Red Wizards-  is this the case, and if so- can I join?”..  “.
