Survivors

So there are 3 doors?

The door ahead, double doors, and then a door further along?

"In hindsight, I guess we should've just brought the house down from outside." Moore admits. "I'm no good at this striking at places business, I'm too direct."

Moore will go to the double doors to open them.

[Anastasia]

Correct.

A small ball room - fancy, nice and with polished floors. It's empty, save for a single table. This is where an efreet, bald and with gold loop earrings, awaits you. A single golem, made of gleaming, polished mithral, stands behind him. He's wearing a fur cape and heavy clothes, 20ft away. He gives the party a look over, "You could have knocked," he says, blandly.

[Nephrite]

"Please accept my apologies." Moore says sincerely. "I'd really prefer to do this amicably and without further violence. Is that possible?"

[Anastasia]

"I'd like that," The efreet smiles, "The door's down the stairs. I'm sure the rains won't be any problem for you on the way out."

[Nephrite]

"Your confidence is inspiring." Moore says. "Unfortunately, I've been asked to bring you back with me. We've already been through your other golems, and I've already survived and been able to overcome people like Commander Nasir. Unless you believe yourself and your golems to rival that of him and his own allies, I really suggest you simply surrender. I already know about the teleportation tricks, so I know exactly where you'll end up if you leave, and we already warded that against further teleportation, so you'll just be trapped there. Surrender." Moore says, face serious.

I imagine I need a bluff check against the totally obvious lie there but it also may be irrelevant since he's probably just going to attack us anyway. :(

[Anastasia]

Give me the Bluff check.

Take 10 for 94.

"Who wants me and why?" The efreet asks right back.

[Nephrite]

"Celestia." Moore answers plainly.

EDIT: Sorry, forgot to answer the other part.

"We are at war, if you didn't know." He adds.

[Anastasia]

The efreet crosses his arms, "Is this Fire? Do you see any sign of the Grand Sultan? I'm a mere efreet wizard, living peacefully."

"Surrounded by defenses to make a king blush," Xandra adds.

"A paranoid efreet," The efreet replies right away. "With enemies."

[Nephrite]

"Then you won't have any reason to prove your innocence." Moore says. "I can promise you if you surrender peacefully that no harm will come to you or to your belongings. Your skill and talent with abjuration is quite impressive, I'll admit. I'm a bit jealous."

There's no harm in trying a little bit of ego-stroking!

[Anastasia]

Diplo.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 94.

[Anastasia]

The efreet considers, "...very well," he finally says. "I surrender."

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 66 on Sense Motive, is he serious or just trying to BS me?
