    Aid another for bluff: 1d20+9=17

    Marcinus looks appropriately terrified and nods along.

    Ruby's Disguise vs Blackerly's Perception: SUCCESS
    Ruby's assisted Bluff vs. Blackerly's Assisted Sense Motive: SUCCESS


    Blackerly nods and seems to accept your story. He begins barking out orders.

    "Tiemoff, Karsters!" He barks, and the two of the elite soldiers snap to attention. "Head to the barracks and rouse the second shift. There's an ogre to put down, and we've got to do it quietly and without killing him! Move out!" The two soldiers turn to march off.

    "Jaffers!" The lightly armored man raises an eyebrow. "Take three men and go do a quick patrol. I wouldn't put it past some scum to use the ogre to their advantage." Jaffers nods.

    "The rest of you. With me. We need to keep an eye of the prisoners while you get a thorough debriefing."

    Jaffers comes up to the group and gestures at Hazdan and Kevdak, along with one ordinary guard. "With me." He barks.

    What do you do?

    We are being kidnapped by the GM, that can't be good.

    Edit: I guess I go along with Blackerly.

    "Yes sir!"

    I go with Jaffers. Is he an elite guard/sergeant, or is he a regular?

    "Aye sir."

    Hadzan, perception check.

    ChaosGuy: You know you're under no obligation to go along with the NPCs, right? You can do whatever you'd like, and see their responses too.

    Yeah... but my social stats suck and I'd most likely lose any roll that would let me do otherwise so easier to go with the flow on stuff like this.

    Hadzan
    You take a closer look at Jaffers. He's definitely dressed differently then either of the other types of guards you've encountered. His armor is much less bulky, and he seems to carry quite a few daggers.

    Jaffers leads Hadzan, Kevdak, and one guard out into the courtyard. He begins to take you through the corners of the yard, taking a close look at everything. The guard with you is shaking slightly, jumping at every sound.

    You spot the two elite guards from earlier heading into the main keep.

    Back in the gatehouse, Blackerly gestures for you to join him on the second level. He heads up the stairs, and your group follows.

    The second floor of the gatehouse is remarkably similar to the floor, made of stone and slightly dusty. There are two doors set in either side of the room, each presumably leading to the walls.

    In the center of the room is a large table, strewn with playing cards. Blackerly seats himself at the table and lights a cigar. He doesn't make any gesture inviting you to join him.

    "What prisoners do we still have? Are there any besides the ogre unaccounted for?"

    Here. Sorry. Easter, sick girlfriend, Uni, etc.

    "Jaffers? Could I make a suggestion? We need to make this search quickly and thoroughly, and I know your eyes are second to none, so perhaps things would go more quickly and efficiently if we were to split into two teams. I've got pretty good eyes as well, so I could lead another group pretty easily, I'm sure. Two of us could more than overwhelm any of the prisoners that might have escaped, and the other team would be in earshot regardless, so the rest of our group could be there to help in a moment. The faster this hellish night is behind us, the better."

    Me and Typhon are the only ones who got separated. He's trying to bluff our way out right now while I don't make the situation worse. As for you six? I have no idea what you are suppose to do at the moment if anything.

    I was waiting for Lexi to say something seeing as she is pretending to be the leader of the guards we're pretending to be right now.

    It's also exam period for her, so it'll get better soon.

    I just flew to Amurica, and I'm more or less finishing getting settled. Should have more time to devote to this now!

    So, let me see. Can someone briefly remind me where we were?

    Party's split. Hadzan and Kevdak are on patrol with a higher up and a lackey. The rest of you are on the second floor of the gatehouse, being debriefed by Sgt. Blackerly.

    Still waiting on someone in the later group to do something before posting again.

    "We only have the prisoners you see here, sir. The others were killed by the ogre."
