A neverending field

[Corwin]

With a nod at her, Seira continues heading down the road.

[Anastasia]

Soon enough you approach.

"Halt," The cornugon bellows, "Identify yourselves!"

[Corwin]

"Max," Seira introduces herself, before gesturing at her side. "Leading Marl, Ragan and X."

[Anastasia]

"You will submit to interrogation," Is the answer, "If you are found in possession of chaotic sympathies, you will be arrested."

[Corwin]

"Chaotic sympathies," Seira scoffs. "Ask us anything."

[Anastasia]

"Your superiors, your papers and your current task," Are snapped right off.

[Corwin]

Seira gestures for Zariel to provide their forgeries. Given the windfall of using a local bureaucrat's experience, things should seem right to the checkpoint's guards. And as previously, the less she speaks here, the fewer chances there would be of saying something wrong.

[Anastasia]

Zariel comes forth and presents them to a barbazu, who takes them to the cornugon. He reads them in depth, long moments before, "Pass," he says briskly, as barbazu step aside.

[Corwin]

Seira nods her understanding and gestures for Zariel to collect their papers back before leading the way ahead.

[Anastasia]

Once past? 'It was not that serious an investigation. If it were, we would be arrested and given a token apology if torture and interrogation found us innocent, but most likely they'd find or fabricate something.' Zariel explains. 'Most likely re education, demotion or execution await in that case.'

[Corwin]

'That's something I didn't consider. They really would jump straight to torture before even talking to us properly?'

[Anastasia]

'Guilty until deigned to be innocent,' Zariel says, 'In the eyes of inquisitors of Truth or Dispater's own, it's merely to determine what you're guilty of.'

[Corwin]

'Right. I'll scrutinize the next group more before I agree, then,' Seira responds, leading the way once more.

[Anastasia]

Give me another d100, -3 modifier.
