When the time comes, the six of you start to sneak into the Dar by the given route. The Dar is a medley of different races and people. You see Inspired and Chosen, their routes made clear by the bowing and withdrawing of commoners to let them pass. Collared shifters move around, often doing their best to avoid drawing attention, although a few strut through, holding messages or items with the seal of Lord Katesh on them. You even spot a few ogres and oni, being given a wide berth by the commoners, but more out of need than respect or fear.
OOC: Everyone give me Stealth at adv, as you have disguises and a planned route.
Taran focuses on keeping his breathing steady as they move through the city, trusting in the disguise over-top of his leather armor to deflect attention. He stepped back just a little into the Flow, letting it keep the edge off of his nerves as he followed the rest of the party.
Kaori still isn't very comfortable in her new attire, and despite the uniform she's donned over it and the mountain of scarves covering her face, the Kenku seems startled by almost every sudden clank or grinding of her armour.
Stealth: 10+3=13 (No advantage because of heavy armour)
As Vishal follows along he has to advert his eyes from the shifters. Trying his best to not think about it for he knows as soon as he does he’ll only see Dulamul like that and he knows for sure he won’t be able to stop his eyes from glowing with rage at that sight.
Akuma walks with a sense of indifference, keeping a straight silent expression despite the thoughts that threaten to make way to her expressions and stature. With her hands shoved in her pockets, she attempts to blend in with everyone else.

The six of you sneak through the city quietly, managing to avoid attracting attention. Soon, you arrive at the central compound and wend your way through halls and rooms with glittering crystal lights. Finally, you make your way to the elan wing. These are far quieter than most of the compound, most of the doors closed firmly against distraction or intrusion. The only room you can see into is through a large archway directly to the left of the wing's entrance. It leads into a large chapel, the symbol of the Path of Inspiration emblazoned on an altar. Several elan are kneeling in the chapel, praying and bonding with the large meditation crystal in front of the altar.
Passing the chapel, you find yourselves just around the corner from the door to 8925's room.

Akuma glances around at everyone as they are unmoving to open the door and takes a deep breath, releasing it in a half sigh before she moves up the the door herself and police karate kicks it open, her hands moving to her daggers and shortsword on her hips, wanting to be ready for what's behind the door. Just in case.

The door opens onto a fairly large room. An altsen rug covers the floor, while a large crystal set into the wall at waist height provides heat and light, a desk and chair just to the right of it. A neatly made bed is in the corner. Standing on the rug and spinning to face the door is a woman who matches the image of 8925, a shocked and angry look on her face. "What is the meaning of this? Is there some kind of emergency? There had better be some kind of explanation for barging into my room!"

8925 looked afraid the first moment the door opened, before rapidly replacing it with the offended expression she wears now.
Time seemed to slow for Taran as he saw Akuma rear back to kick the door, the various plans they had made flashing before him before her intent made itself clear to him. Stepping so that he could see into the room and down the hall, he would place a hand on his crossbow, and answer the Elan.
"Y-You kn-know ex-exactly what this is a-a-about." He called out, for once his stuttering anxious speech a boon instead of a hurdle, "pl-please c-c-come quietly. W-We don't w-w-want to hurt you."
The woman's eyes flare with imperious anger, and white electricity crackles along her body. "I suggest you explain yourself, boy. Who's authority is this...barbaric intrusion on? Barging in in such a matter, and without any explanation but some vague instruction. What are you, Khorvairans?"
Druhdaar, who'd barely had time to back away from the door before it violently got kicked off its hinges, first icily glares at Akuma, eyebrows raised, for a second or so. The air crackles with tension as the big man's brow knots with a mix of bafflement and barely supressed fury.
The druid abruptly seems to come to a decision: he gives something like a half shrug and turns his back on both Akuma and what he suspects is 8925, slowly swinging around towards the rest of the group. His glowering stare then zeroes in on Vishal, gracing the sword-dancer with a dead look that seems to say 'Now let's see you fix this', before he gruffly shifts his massive frame and lumbers back out into the corridor.

Druhdaar pokes his head around the corner and sees several elan sticking their heads out of the the chapel archway. The looks range from disappointed to irritated, but nobody seems to be coming down the corridor.
Taking a deep breath Vishal steps forward and says,"I'm sorry for his actions. It's his first day on the new job and he is obvious extremely nervous and needs more training. We're here to escort you to safety. We believe that some Khorvarians are trying to corrupt you. There has been some notice of loss of control on your part. So we're going to relocate you. Please come along, it is for everyone's safety at the moment."
"coo Shall we go?" Kaori reluctantly pulls away from Vishal's pats after a minute, putting her helmet back on.
