A neverending field

[Corwin]

'Sounds like you're doing great, because I've been terrified all along and that hasn't changed.'

[Anastasia]

Amaryl turns and smiles at you, just a moment. 'So am I, my love. In my heart I worry this is a fool's errand, no matter how noble. That our gift is just enough rope to hang ourselves within this dark place.'

Then, with a nod, 'But I have you with me. That's enough to go on.'

[Corwin]

'And our souls are our own. These places might try to break our spirits or lure us away from our path, but they can't do that as long as we don't give in.'

[Anastasia]

'Together,' Amaryl agrees as you go on.

You soon pass the work crew. They labor away without respite, toil given to replace a segment of the road that looks fine to you. A few look up and glower, but none make immediate motions to come at you, at least as you pass by.

[Corwin]

Any who do would be scared off by the fiercest look a powerful devil might be expected to show them, and if that's not enough Seira keeps the token granting them access close by. While limited, it should be good while they're so close to the entrance.

[Anastasia]

Indeed it is. There's no resistance from that them in the end, you simply pass them by and head north as instructed.

d100. Wise choice there, wise choice.

[Anastasia]

Several hours of walking pass. You make a good pace and past a few more road workers, as well as a few loan travelers, who regard you warily and from a safe distance.

In due time, you see a building alongside the road. It looks like an inn in structure, save that's built of solid, sturdy iron instead of stone or another material.

[Corwin]

I'm sorry if this was forgotten in all the posts since, but I'm refreshing a few spells on me every half hour. I presume that went off without a problem and no spell I could see was triggered as a result? I'm obviously doing this when not in view of random dudes on the road.

Seira looks for any indication of the inn's name. And actually remembers to adjust what she appears to see to something suitable for travelers here. She's not about to look like she can spot something miles away and draw attention to herself that way.

[Anastasia]

Correct.

You're able to find a sign that reads 'Kopala's' in Infernal.

[Corwin]

Seira leads the way to the inn! They're supposed to hire Valjan-Red inside, but she can first take a look at what sort of establishments exist in the Iron Tower. Not to mention that later, she'll be able to compare the other places to this inn.

[Anastasia]

Inside you find the building to be austere and simple, the way blocked by a front desk and several paths within barred. A single hamatula is at the desk, who eyes all of you immediately, "Name, rank and purpose here?"

[Corwin]

K:P 120 (or whichever knowledge makes more sense) for a few background questions.

Is a rank something that anyone who can be on Dis needs to have? I should have the more general Dis knowledge even if the Iron Tower is a mystery.
What sort of rank could traveling nondevils reasonably hold? Presumably if they fight in the blood war and what not. How about pit fiends?
Does this seem a legitimate question (ie is it reasonable for innkeepers to demand name/rank/purpose of travelers, or is that an authority-only thing, etc), or one of those 'What's wrong with Wolfie?' ones? Since this might not be something even my high knowledge would provide, I'll take 10 on a Sense Motive of 110.

[Anastasia]

When you get down to it, every devil has a rank. In the case of non devils, an equivalent rank is assumed. It depends on the non devil, as it's quietly known that bribery can get you a higher rank if you're an outsider (within reason of course). A rank of sergeant wouldn't raise any eyebrows, for example.

It's a legitimate question.

[Corwin]

"Max, sergeant," Seira responds. "Leading a group of corporals. We are here to meet Valjan-Red."
