A guest of the efreet

[Nephrite]

"Do you think there's anyone here we even feel like talking to?" Moore asks. "Ultimately, even if we make a few minor waves here and there, it all comes down to what they're talking about with the Sultan."

[Anastasia]

Cresiel merely replies, "You're right. I admit I've had my fill of talking to them rather than smiting them."

[Nephrite]

Moore snorts with a grin. "Perhaps we should just walk around then and see what we can observe. Diplomats are one thing, but you can usually see a lot more than you hear if you're looking carefully enough."

[Anastasia]

Just going to see what you can find in that case?

[Nephrite]

Yep, casual walking around, paying attention for ... hmm, let's say things that may be out of place, or overhearing things. That sort of stuff.

[Anastasia]

Perception check and a d100.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 71.

[16:18] <Nephrite> roll 1d100
[16:18] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 71 > [d100=71]

No relation.

[Anastasia]

Scary!

You wander a time, passing by a gallery of art. As you walk by, a voice carries out, "Be quiet, you fool!"

[Nephrite]

Moore raises an eyebrow to Cresiel and gestures that they get a bit closer.

It's time for some good-old fashioned eavesdropping!

[Anastasia]

Cresiel floats slightly off the ground as...

Stealth.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 59. Let's see how aware these people are!

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+11 Cresiel
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 17 > [d20=6]

Opposed Perception check hidden since DM being evil.

You fly onward, but the soft swish of Cresiel's wings is audible.

"I told you, I saw it," The other voice, a man's strong voice, is heard. "With my own two eyes!"

[Nephrite]

Moore continues on towards the two men -- he's curious about whatever it is, regardless of whether they get heard or not on the way!

[Anastasia]

You turn in. Two efreet are there - one in white pants and doublet, while the other is wearing robes and a turban.

Both are also looking your way. "Ah, Duke Moore," the one in the doublet calls, "Good morning."

[Nephrite]

"Good morning." He answers. "I couldn't help but overhear there's apparently been a bit of a spectacle?" An easy smile afterwards. "It isn't very often that I have the honor of coming to these parts, so if there's something remarkable going on, I'd hate to miss it."
