A Royal Gamble

[Gar]

As the half-orc walked through the castle she would once again attempt to look more threatening than she otherwise appeared (Intimidate 14). Once they reached the chamber Gar would watch Sahltie's reaction to being in the presence of the king and mimic it, for she was not certain of how royalty was appropriately addressed. Then she would step forward and stand tall, straightening and stiffening her body in an attempt to exert an impression of power (Intimidate 18).

"King Nirdrang," Gar answered him gruffly, "My name is Gar," she gestured to Sahltie, "Sahltie and I have completed the Trial of the Burning Goblin. I have come to request citizenship."

The barbarian's gaze drifted to the crown for just a moment. She understood that this object had the power to see into a person, although she could not know if it was continuously active. She would imagine that the king at least knew how to use it--after all, hobgoblins were not ignorant of magic items or the means to identify them. Sahltie was proof of that. Perhaps the truth regarding the cultists of Odjir would be the most practical and efficient way to the crown. Gar watched and waited for now.
