Angie steps up to the guards. "Hello there my good sirs. I am Angie Lightwalker and these are my friends. This morning we were transported to this land by mysterious means. It seems that fate is directing us to enter Wildheart. We understand the Jarl has been having trouble with trade due to the Wildheart's recent changes. We were hoping that maybe we could help the Jarl with his problems."
One of the guards steps away from the door and opens the book on top of the table. He runs his finger down the page, flips to the next, and does the same. He repeats this process and few times until finally he says, “I see no Angie Lightwalker in the homeskin. What are the rest of your friends names?”
Gobber pokes up from the party. He steps out of the party for a moment.
*Ahem* "Greetings. We have just arrived here mysteriously through a raft this afternoon. My companions and I shouldn't have our name in the book yet but soon enough it should be. Would you be kind enough to write our names down for us till then? We came from the Waterdeep so we quite foreign to this place. "
“How did ya get into Grim village without yer names being written in the home skin? Everyone is ta have their names recorded upon entry. Explain yer selves!... And what is this Water-deep yer on about?”
"Our names, for the moment, are rather unimportant. The important part of my friend's statement is that we are here, by whatever means we got here, in order to help the Jarl with his forest problems."
The guard though a warrior himself seems to have been cowed by Thokein, “Uhh.. Uhh.. right!” he stutters. “Must just be a mistake down on thu dock... let me see if the Jarl will receive ya. Won’t be but a minute.”
With that the guard opens the door and slips inside, leaving the other standing there mouth agape.
Angie looks to her companions and the remaining guard. "While we wait for the guard to return, why don't I sing you a song I learned on my travels. There were a few months I thought it might be the clue I needed to prove my thesis, but alas, after extensive research it turned out just to be a song. It is meant to be sung by a group of at least five eunuchs, but after studying it for so long I have adapted it for my vocal range. Like to hear it? Here it goes." With that Angie starts singing a song with a fun upbeat, while doing a precisely choreographed dance.
"Stop na na na, you'd better save it! Stop, stop, stop, you'd better save it!
When we learned all about magic We learned it from the gods. But the more we worked on magic the more we forgot it came from the gods.
When we grew up learning magic It seemed to be our own thing. Now the gods are angry we forgot them So prepare for the hurt they'll bring!
Stop, the magic you cast is not your own! Darling, give props to the gods Or some day they'll leave you all alone. You'd better stop, the magic you save may be your own! Darling, look both ways before you cross the gods You're headed for the danger zone."
The guard is not amused at all by your song and dance, “Oy! Knock that off!” heyells. In doing so he startles you as you attempt to land your jig causing you to misstep. Your ankle twists and the momentum drives you into the dirt. The guard jeers at you, “serves ya right, haha!”
Angie picks herself up from the dirt sheepishly, and once she has gotten to her feet gives an awkward bow without putting weight on her injured ankle. "It's been a long time since I tried that. As I said it is supposed to be performed by at least five eunuchs and my adaptation is very complicated."
Suddenly one of the front doors swings open and the guard who went to alert the Jarl emerges, “Yer in luck the Jarl will see you, but dont tarry... in at once” he says.
DM Note: You must enter in single file, what is your marching order?

Thokein’s words immediately draw the guard’s attention.

We learned it from the gods.
But the more we worked on magic
the more we forgot it came from the gods.
It seemed to be our own thing.
Now the gods are angry we forgot them
So prepare for the hurt they'll bring!
Darling, give props to the gods
Or some day they'll leave you all alone.
You'd better stop, the magic you save may be your own!
Darling, look both ways before you cross the gods
You're headed for the danger zone."

Tries to laugh without Angie noticing.
Gobber goes behind Thokein and starts to laugh loudly in a deep voice. Trying to frame Thokein while hiding.
Angie picks herself up from the dirt sheepishly, and once she has gotten to her feet gives an awkward bow without putting weight on her injured ankle. "It's been a long time since I tried that. As I said it is supposed to be performed by at least five eunuchs and my adaptation is very complicated."

The guard merely snorts at Angie’s explanation.
Suddenly one of the front doors swings open and the guard who went to alert the Jarl emerges, “Yer in luck the Jarl will see you, but dont tarry... in at once” he says.

(Does Angie, me, Gobber, Healer work for everyone? Angie front for cha, me next for intimidate, Healer back for rear guard.)
Gobbler stays behind the big guy.
