MATT: Make a persuasion check.
LIAM: Ja. (groans)
SAM: (southern accent) A southern gentleman.
LIAM: Not very good at all.
SAM and ASHLY: (groan)
MATT: He goes, “And there’s five of you?”
LIAM: It is a long way.
MARISHA: And an important message.
LIAM: Yeah. Only a fool travels alone.
MATT: “I’ll pass on the message! You’ll be
summoned if necessary, but (clicks tongue)” Gives
a motion over to the other guard who’s finished
eating, who’s also pulled the shortbow off the
shoulder and has knocked an arrow into it. Gives a
whistle and the doors to the estate open, and you
watch as three more guards emerge with crossbows,
and one with a heavy crossbow at the ready. They
all keep them at the ready, very close eye. One of
them begins to patrol the outside of the building.
You get the sense immediately that there’s a
general anxiety and tension at this space when
strangers approach. They’re being very careful.
MARISHA: Can I look around, do I see anybody who’s
hidden, watching from windows up above, anything
that looks like we’re being watched?
MATT: Make a perception check.
MARISHA: Not by guards, necessarily. 21.
MATT: You glance up, and on the second floor there
is two sets of double windows. They’re paned, one
of them looks to be partially opened, and you can
see on the inside there are curtains. One, the
curtains are closed, the other is drawn to a side,
and you see a figure looking out below. As soon as
you look up and see it, the curtain closes.
MARISHA: Did I catch a glimpse of what the figure
looks like?
MATT: The figure looked to be human, though the
skin was dark. That’s as best as you can get
before they vanished.
MARISHA: Okay.
LIAM: I’m just smiling at the guards.
MATT: You see all the other guards each place one
of their weapons pointed directly at each of you,
and the quiet comes over all of you, as this
moment, this standoff continues for a minute, two
minutes. As the first guard that you spoke to
enters and closes the door behind.
LIAM: (exhales)
ASHLY: So do you like being guards?
MATT: “Shh!” One of them tightens the grip.
ASHLY: Got it.
MATT: This large, heavy crossbow already notched
backward and the tension on the wire itself is–
this guy is looking like he is ready to fire.
LIAM: We are all going to laugh about this later,
I promise. (nervous laugh)
MATT: A moment later the guard emerges from the
door. “All right, stand down.”
SAM: Oh.
