As Barrus heads off to get the magus, the carriage begins to slow down making it clear that the guard post is its destination.
[OOC: Dora knows the sheriff's driver:Felicia Manno, a Sorendenese/Stemian half-breed with the dark skin of the Sorendenese but shorter even than many Stemian women. However, despite her small size, she has a way with horses and is very qualified for her role as driver.]

Go across to Dora. Quietly :"Samuel seems intent on escape. Maybe we should let him go."
[OOC: Dora is not in the same place as Guilliame, but I know what you mean. Also, you might want to wait to see what is happening when Guilliame steps out of the guard post cabin before you say anything to Dora.]
Guilliame steps to the door of the cabin and opens it just as an expensive-looking carriage pulls up alongside the guard post. The two eternal flame lanterns sitting above the head of the driver are another indication of the wealth on display here, but the golden lion's head on the side of the black-lacquered carriage is the main indication of the owner's importance.
"Magus," says Handman Barrus, who has just climbed up the stairs of the guard post. "The handleader would like a word, if you please."
For Guilliame:
[OOC: This carriage is familiar to Guilliame and likely belongs to Sheriff Tambor, in which case he has been a passenger in it previously.]
[OOC I assume Guilliame either under his own volition or answering my request has come out and is able to see the carriage.]
Quietly to Guilliame "let there be no thought of releasing him until we have seen the Seeker or as is more likely the Sheriff here has something to say. We now need to be circumspect, let the Sheriff tell us why they are here - it may reveal whether they are compromised. My strong preference is to hand the case over to the Seeker and I will do my best to put that argument. Make a sign if you think that the Sheriff is compromised."
To the driver of the carriage "Ho Felicia, you are out late!"
[OOC I assume Guilliame either under his own volition or answering my request has come out and is able to see the carriage.]

My strong preference is to hand the case over to the Seeker and I will do my best to put that argument. Make a sign if you think that the Sheriff is compromised."
To the driver of the carriage "Ho Felicia, you are out late!"
[OOC: The first bit hasn't happened yet, as the arrival of the coach interfered and the two characters would have to walk past the coach to be able to talk to each other. However, I will allow the second part of the above to occur.]
The driver nods to Dora and then a voice calls out from the interior of the carriage.
"Yes, Handleader Wallus. It is indeed somewhat late, coming up on the sixth candle, to be precise." The door to the carriage then opens and out steps Sheriff Tambor dressed in formal dinner attire. "As I was still out and about, I thought I would come to see how Magus de Marchant was getting on."
The elegantly clad Sorendenese noble man then apparently notices Guilliame at the entrance to the guard post's cabin and speaks to him directly, "And offer him a lift home? What say you, Guilliame? Had enough for one night?"
[OOC: Guilliame's agreed-upon time with the Watch was for between the 2nd and the 6th candle of the evening.
Also note that neither of the previous speeches by your characters actually occurred because they haven't had the opportunity to talk to each other privately.
If you do want to do this, it will need to be done in the full view of those present, except perhaps Samel, who is inside the cabin, the door to which Guilliame probably closed.]

[OOC Dora has Alice guarding the door so if Guilliame left it open she would have closed it.]
[OOC: Check. The cabin door is closed.]
I catch Guilliame's eye, making sure that the Sheriff is not looking my way and almost imperceptibly shake my head.
[OOC: As Guilliame wanted to talk to Dora anyway, she catches his eye. But please make a Deception check at Advantage to see if she can make the signal without anyone else noticing the action.]
[OOC: This statement was not made as private conversation is not possible. Andrew, you need to make sure the forum feed is up to date before replying.]

In response to the sheriff's offer of a lift to his home, Guilliame sees Dora give a slight shake of her head that he believes she intended for his eyes only.
The sheriff is now expecting some sort of response from Guilliame about his offer.

"It has been a very interesting night Sheriff. There is a matter I'd like to take up with you directly so if you don't mind talking some business that lift would be appreciated."
"The Magus has not disappointed. He is a welcome addition to the Hand. As for tonight, we picked up a few leads which we are following up. And if I may be so bold Sheriff, what of your evening?"
"Oh, and .bBefore you go Guilliame, could we just step into the cabin and bid the Hand good night? They would appreciate it. Won't keep you long Sheriff."
"The Magus has not disappointed. He is a welcome addition to the Hand. As for tonight, we picked up a few leads which we are following up. And if I may be so bold Sheriff, what of your evening?"
"My evening?" replies the sheriff. "Oh, it was just a dinner at the palace. Your evening sounds a lot more interesting; tell me what you mean by leads?"
[OOC: We will delay your second move until after this conversation has finished. Also, don't forget to make the Insight check for Dora that I asked for.]

"Black magick!" says the sheriff, looking suddenly very serious. "Not more Arion worshippers, surely? I thought we got rid of them with that raid on their hidden temple."
For Dora:
[Sheriff Tambor is probably talking about the incident mentionedhere.]
All eyes are now on Dora, including those of her own handsmen.
