As the troops begin to make their move, Jasmine senses that things could get bad. She locks eyes with priestess and waves her hand. "Trying to claim the people of the tavern is more trouble than it's worth. You will call down your men and allow us to leave freely."
She must succeed a DC13 WIS save. On failure, for the next 8 hours (or for as long has Jasmine has concentration or until Jasmine or one of her allies do damage to the priestess ), she will follow Jasmine's instruction.

"What would make you think I care? Even if you are telling the truth. If i disposed of you here. Now. Nobody would know. Forsch is well use to disappearing guests." Though she speaks confidently, there is a slight hesitation in her voice. She clearly believes your story at least somewhat. However, Armeros' argument must not've been strong enough. She snaps her fingers and disappears. Wisdom saving throw 17.
Remis, his speak strained as if trying to find the right words of a new language, doing his best to speak common, I go in peace. Not chained. Fight I will if insisted. he looks at the others, then to G1 as he approaches, you choose. he brings himself up to his full 7'2 and waits. ((Saving my action to use as a reaction if the guard tries to put me in chains, at which I will attempt to bite his head off))
What's that for Emile? The guard does not try to tie up Remis, he merely stands there in case you move. Actually, none of the guards do anything. They just stand there, as if waiting for something happen. BATTLEMAP
Concluding that these guards expected to drag him into ... whatever this was Xondario decides to stand up and grabs the handle of the maul that was sitting besides him. Picking it up he held the handle ready, but not in a way to suggesthe was preparingto swing it yet. Stepping away from his seat and returning the axes he had started to grab before, he accepted that he was readily involved now. Bending down to stare at G4 he says. "Do you have anyone who will miss you? Now is the time to walk out that door and save them the grief of you being carried out of here. This hammer only knows how to bury things deep in the ground and if this turn ugly, you will be it's main focus." Standing back up to his well over 7' height he says. "I'm walking out that door, if you think you're enough to stop me, well we will find out."
"My, my, she was most unfriendly." Armeros states, looking to the others conspiratorially. "To claim ownership of simple passersby. Wretched indeed. Certainly, friends, we cannot allow this to stand?"
Armeros frowns, tilting his head as he studies Remis. "Food...? Ah, yes. You may have my food as well, friend." Armeros grabs his plate and offers it to the bear-man with his most friendly smile, taking a step towards him. The guard could strike him for this, yes, but he would swiftly pay for it.
Taxidea looks at the guard holding him. "Sure, sure. You're a real big man, picking on the hafling and not the 7 FOOT LIGHTNING BOLT THROWING BEAR! You guys are really starting to get on my nerves. I'M HURT. I'M HUNGRY. And...", he lowers his voice so just the guard can hear, "if you don't let go of me in about 3 seconds, I'M GOING TO START BREATHING FIRE! Then your boss lady can have the ashes of this establishment."
"...at worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Flynt shakes his head slowly in disappointment. His sarape drapes back over his right shoulder to reveal the hand crossbow on his hip as he rises to his feet.
"Look fellas, unless yer lady offers a good resurrection plan, I'd say you should probably listen to these folk. Now some of us may be just passin' through but myself...I got questions. So why do y'all be good lads and feck off and bring her back so you can save yer life and I can ask 'em" Flynt drawls the warning out slowly and evenly only to put a bit more edge into the request at the end.

Jasmine looks to the Guard that is next to her. She says,. "Nobody here wishes to be claimed as someone else's property simply for trying to have lunch at a tavern. I am going to walk out this tavern and the priestess can have owner ship of this place... just not the people. I suggest you step aside and let ussss leave or there will be severe consequences."
Jasmine will stand up and begin moving to the door slowly. She will keep a careful eye on the guards, getting ready to bonk them on the head if they try to get close to her or attack her as she begins making her way to the door to the south. She has her hand resting on the war hammer on her belt as she moves. She will urge her new friends to join her in leaving this place and regrouping somewhere less... problematic.

"We do believe our meal has been... sufficiently interrupted," Armeros said casually, his voice smooth as silk as he set his plate down. His hand slid to his side, fingers brushing against the arcane focus hidden within the folds of his attire. He allowed himself a small smile, his tail flicking lightly behind him.
"Best not keep the lady waiting," he murmured with an amused glance toward Jasmine. With his head held high, he began to follow her lead, moving toward the door with an air of quiet confidence. His eyes remained alert, however, and the faint glimmer of arcane energy hummed at his fingertips, ready to be unleashed should any of the guards try to block their path.

While everyone was talking, the guards still remained perfectly still. Even when a few of you started moving towards the door, they didn't do anything. Then, as the first person reached the door, you couldn't seem to get it open. As you push and shove, the guards start to shimmer, and then they all vanished. From up above, you hear the priestess' voice. "As you can see. The door is locked. I never planned to kill. Instead I just needed to distract you. Do you think it not odd that all of you are here. Ready to fight? I have brought you here without your knowing. While you were arguing with my troops this building was transported away. Open the door and you find that outside is a void. A vacuum. You are floating in nothing. It is only because of me that you are still alive. I'm keeping this structure together. I have all the power. I can send you back home. I can bring you back. I can do anything. However. If you carry out my quest. I will release you from my grasp. But of course it won't be that easy. when just one of you accepts or denies. All of you do. So I would talk amongst yourselves. And another thing. I will not say another word until you either accept or deny." After that long monologue, you don't hear anything else. Most if not all of you have carried out quests for powerful beings, but not this. You normally have all the info needed right up front. And really, this was just weird all around. An attack just for distraction, so she could teleport everyone away? Right when those thugs happened to attack as well? Plus, there was still the thing with the guards. Why were they listening to her?
The silence is broken by the straining of a wooden bench under heavy stress, Remis sets back down at his table, pulls his plate close and resumes his meal. Your world very strange. Remis rather live than die. My say. He turns back to his food.
Taxidea looks around the room. "Hey, bear-guy - Remis is it? Thanks for helping me, I do feel a little better. I like you. I think we're gonna be friends." Then he looks at Armeros and Jasmine. "But what? You guys were just going to walk out and leave me here to fend for myself? Snake-lady don't you have some sort of oath to help out the little guy in trouble? Thanks for nothing."
He walks over and looks out the window (OOC: I'm guessing he sees that there is, indeed, just a void)
"But hey, bygones am I right? It seems that old hag was telling the truth. So what now? If she went through all this, and has this kind of power, I doubt she reacts well to being told 'no'. I hate to say it, because I really hate not having a choice, but I don't think we have a choice."
"...at worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
"Yes," Armeros answered Taxidea without a second thought, "Why? Would you stop to save us? How flattering! Of course, things have changed now that we are trapped here together. Cooperation will be necessary to escape this it seems."
With a small, controlled breath, he turned and moved closer to the others, his expression shifting to one of calm consideration. "We must admit," he began, addressing the group, "we are almost as impressed as we are annoyed by her little trick. But what do you all think?"
He allowed his gaze to move across his companions, measuring their reactions. "A single quest should be manageable, no? Especially with all of us here. Surely, it would be far easier to humor her request than to remain trapped in this... void. We imagine it’s not a place any of us would like to linger in."
Jasmine's tail moves and creates the rattling one would expect from a rattle-snake. Jasmine answers, "You were not too wounded to walk. So I urged you to follow me. And no, Oathsss are meaningless and tend to hold you back when things are at their most dire. I do not need an oath to guide me; my moral compassss is enough to lead me to path of good." She then turns around and says, "That being sssaid... You are right. I do not believe refusing is an option we have. I do hate being forced into thingsssss."
