"That will depend on what we may or may not be protecting them from. I have the feeling that there is something sinister going on here and no one is innocent of it."
"We cannot operate on a feeling and even say that we suspect that there is more to their place than what they are showing. I'm interested in what you actually want to say to these village people when we knock on their door."
"How about if we play the part of innocence by saying something like… we are just travelers who have heard so many great things about this village and the power to exorcised and we will like to participate and observe. Please have us as part of your congregation."
Specific Action: Sapphire approaches the front door (D) and knocks. When the door opens she will attempt to sell the story that her small group is trying to understand more about the village and their famous ceremony.
You knock the old wooden door of a stone hut. After a half minute it creaks open and a hunched over old lady answers. She looks aged and unable to see you well as she squints and mutters,
"Yes, who be it that disturbs me when I am being ready fer the ceremony? Jeffery, is that thee? Say something child."
To avoid blane she looks at Thorin with her arms crossed and her feet far apart. A smirk clearly forms on her face as she awaits for him to answer.
Using his best etiquette Thorin replies, "Ah, we are not mam but we will be sure to let Jeffery not be tardy. We just came into this fine village and we are in need of some preparation for the ceremony and you look kind enough to give some assistance. Can you help?"
