Capt.JohnPaul

Is Luke trying to do something? Or is he too Pacifist?

Don't recognize me? I have like, almost the same smile as everyone else! "Umm... it wasn't me who did anything to Rodolph... I'm Alex. I'm just as confused as you are, and forced to go along with this. So sorry." Alexandre attacks the Imperial guard from the front row.

"Ummm... not really... ok maybe a bit." Alexandre smiles.

"Ok. I've got one too. I was thinking we could say we were under attack, and that an intruder tried to push us through the door but we killed him. (Meaning the guard with the broken neck.)"

Alexandre strikes the door. "We'll probably need a cover story to explain why the door might be broken if we get through."

No too much noise! If Alexandre's arrow/boilt can't pick the lock, he tears off one of his chainmail rings to pick the lock. EDIT: Go with Flipz's plan, my refresh is terrible.

EDIT: Weird duplicate post.

I consider if one of my crossbow bolts could be used to pick the lock.

... Alexandre searches the guard on the floor and on his new clothes for a key.

Definitely. How could you do such a thing to such a happy-go-lucky guard?

Alexandre starts to whistle 'escorting' everyone to Roland's place. "Hey Arthur, now that I think about it, we said we were Rogue Lions at the door, and it seemed the first guard didn't care. That's almost proof already that Roland is the bad guy. Also, should we wait for the first guard to comeback, it might be weird for him to find a dead guard and us missing."

Seeing Arthur use the simpler method, he re-sheaths his sword. Alexandre switches his armor/clothes with the asleep guard. "I don't want to snap his neck. He's probably innocent of any wrong doing. How about we send him back to Alandri?" Alexandre then is ready to escort Arthur down the hall. EDIT: Saw your edit. Alexandre looks like he's about to puke watching Arthur.... then shakes himself out of it and escorts the rest to Roland.

Alexandre looks into the eyes of the last guard. "Sorry, you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time." Alexandre draws his sword to attack. "Come'n Arthur!"

"We did tell you! Alex, knight of the realm, Arthur, Battle Mage and my lord." "Arthur, obviously this will do no good. Here's a plan. I write a "note" containing our secret message we need to say to Roland. We give it to the guard, which brings it to Roland. Leaving one guard left. We kill the one guard, who can't defend himself alone, I put on his armor, and 'escort' you to Roland and we continue as usual. If Flipz agrees:

"Talk to anyone? We're just not anyone. I am Sir Alex, Knight of the Realm, in service to Battle Mage Arthur. If you feel more secure, just bring me and him in, and leave our soldiers out here. Also, I request your name and unit number." "Arthur, do you think you could squeeze Poletad somewhere in your cloak?

"We are meeting with him. We bring urgent news. He agrees to see us. Bring him out here if you don't believe us. He will recognize us."

"Ok." Are we ready to go meet him?" Alexandre is ready after putting on the disguise.

"Don't risk it, our cover might be blown. What if he asks us a password or something to know who we are? He would be informed of a meeting anyways if rebels were coming to see him."

"You're right... but think of the XP..." OOC: Did Alexandre really just say that out loud? "We'll keep that in mind. But it's time justice is served. We were hired on a mission, and we will complete it. Don't worry, I have a smoke bomb, and like, 5 potions. We can do this. Piece of cake."

"Disguises? Nah. Let's just walk in the front door. We won't have to persuade Roland. Once he sees us walking in with blood of his guards on our swords, he'll talk immediately. Then we do the same to the rebels." Flipz, you're smarter than that! No disguises mean we get the proper fame and XP points!

Alexandre gives a look of annoyance and frustration at Roland. A coward. He grins. "How about we go ask him?" Alexandre knowing what the other's are thinking, continues. "I know."

"Oh. I thought the cultists and rebels were going to bring back the Chimera." Alexandre looks to others for assistance. "Forgive me, I'm not good at remembering these things."

"My lord, do you have news of the other heroes? From what I've understood, one group has killed cultist rebels in a cave we were tracking. Also, we tracking, umm... uh.. was he traitor or something, what's his name at the fort?"

I think fabric, like they so commonly use in the Pirates Forum.

"No, not Alandri, think he likes us. The other emperor."
