The second seal (Moore)

[Nephrite]

Let's go with Spellcraft for right now. Take 10 for 47.

[Anastasia]

Four people are casting - two humans, an elf and one of the catfolk. They're all casting detect magic.

[Nephrite]

There's really no harm in that -- in fact, it's what he'd do in that case.

"Friends, my name is Moore. These are my comrades, Dana and Balyss. We are of a place called Aurora, which I imagine none of you have heard of. We come in peace and mean none of you any harm." Moore says, trying to hopefully field off any immediate fears.

"We mean only to enter your city of Samark for information. If there are people in power that we must speak to first, we do not wish to skirt the laws of your land, so we will abide by them to the best of our ability." He further says.

[Anastasia]

Make a diplo check on that, for reasons.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for for 56

[Anastasia]

The crowd largely bows or steps further back. Dana rolls her shoulders and grins, "See, that's what I thought. If it helps, I'm a fucking princess, so out of the way." She begins to stride forward, towards Samark.

Balyss smiles gently and in a voice much the same, "I serve Selune." she takes to the air, wings flapping as she hovers along instead of walking, "I bring glad tidings and blessings. Do not be afraid." She then glances at Dana, "Even at her, for her bark is much worse than her bite."

[Nephrite]

"I have this sinking suspicion that we may be the first extraplanar travelers they've seen in, er... ever, probably." Moore says as he starts down the road. "Hopefully we make a good impression."

[Anastasia]

"Maybe," Balyss says quietly, "I'd like to help the people here, but later. Let's make sure we aren't going to provoke the locals first."

[Nephrite]

"I'm sure we'll be introduced to the laws of the land soon enough, but I have a rather strong inkling that this is one of those magic-dominated places where the better mage you are the more respect you get. It's just a hunch, though." Moore says, continuing on.

[Anastasia]

The three of you continue on. People get out of the way on sight of you, and you catch the occasional person using detect magic. You soon approach the city, the outer wall woven and latticed steel wires, several layers woven together so that it's solid in intricate and eye-catching patterns. Based on your knowledge of arcane ward, those patterns are arcane wards as well.

The normal guards are there, just like in most city. Four of them as people part, and the fifth is not dressed in armor nor carries a spear. This one is dressed in a leather tunic and green hose. A belt of pouches is worn. "I am Maly of the Second Circle," he introduces himself, stepping past the guards. His eyes glisten with blue light. "The magic on you is overwhelming," he murmurs in a tone of reverence, "Great ones, what do you wish?"

[Nephrite]

"We are visitors from another plane -- though none of us from the same originally, we are members of Aurora. I do not believe word of our cause has reached your world yet, so please, allow us to introduce ourselves. I am Moore, I follow the deity Erathaol of the Hebdomad. This is Dana, she follows... ...um... I'm pretty sure she follows 'fighting and drinking.'" He grins a bit at Dana at that, then continues. "This is Balyss, she is a follower of Selune, the Moon Maiden."

He continues on after that. "We are seeking information, but considering the circumstances, we would be happy to speak with your rulers so as not to presume to simply trounce on your local laws and customs. We wish for our first meeting with your Prime to be one where we can learn from each other to create a bond of friendship and diplomacy for the future." Moore finishes.

[Anastasia]

"Yeah, and to cut the bullshit? We're way stronger than any of you and we're here for a reason. Be nice, bend over and take it and you'll have fucking problems," Dana says, hefting her dragon shield.

"I am favored of Selune," she pauses and draws the Sword of the Moon, "This is her token of my-"

Maly takes one look at it and groans, stumbling and turning away, holding his face with his hands. "Such magic! I am not worthy to look at it!" he manages.

"...yes, that." Balyss says with a little sigh, "Please take us to the ruler of this town and we can get to business."

[Nephrite]

"...Ah, perhaps we should talk to someone of the higher circles... er, if that's the correct order it goes in, anyway." Moore says a bit sheepishly. "We mean no offense by displaying our magic, this is simply standard fare for us in terms of protections. But yes, it is as Balyss says, if we can speak to whomever rules this city, that would be excellent."

[Anastasia]

Maly bows deeply, "I will have someone to you immediately to teleport you. Do not profane your feet by walking through this unworthy city, great ones."

[Nephrite]

"Ah... yes, thank you, Sir Maly." He blinks, then rubs the back of his head sheepishly. "Please, you don't need to stand on such ceremony with us, really."
