"Perhaps I could gain us simpler interest." Rholf offers, as Leik approaches the gate (Anywhere on the map that puts me out of direct view from the gate is fine, Mr. DM.) Rholf then quickly lays out his idea; "I could be looking for some kind of assistance in removing these." he points to the flames constantly rising up from his hair as he says this last bit. "I'm sure that, between Edwin and myself, we could get them to open the gate, and give us a 'tour' of the place..."

Doh!!! That was supposed to be "simpler ENTRANCE", not interest... Curse you autocorrect...
This really really ugly dog that seems to be made out of dried meat climbs out from under the wagon to sit and stare silently, like a taxidermist's drunken postmodernist experiment at Edwin.
Alinya speaks quietly, "Keep close grip on your weapons, friends. I have no doubt that Edwin and Rholf will spin some amusing tale to gain entrance. I also have no doubt that, shortly afterwards, the inevitable violence will ensue." She sighs, but doesn't look too despondent at the thought.
The dog doesn't sniff, pant, scratch, woof, or do anything else remotely doglike. He seems to be more of an animate steak given dog form than an actual dog.
Momentarily taken aback by the appearance of the,... dog? Edwin is ashamed to admit that he is surprised by the woman's appearance and hostile tone. He cannot help but take another look at the strange canine as Rholf greets the woman,...
Per on 'dog':1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
He turns to the lady even as his mind processes his swift but thorough examination of the creature. He takes another look at the lady as he straitens his tie once again.
Per on LAdy:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Edwin swiftly decides that his usual, aggressive, approach might backfire on the already seemingly hostile woman. So he swiftly switches mental tracks.
"Ah! WOnderful! I was afraid that we would have to return later! And I'm not really certain that we HAVE any time left! As you can obviously see, my associate has been cursed! Knowing the vindictiveness of the witch who called the curse down on him, we are fairly certain that it is only a matter of time before the flames that currently dance on his head consume him utterly! We beseech your aid in ridding him of this diabolical curse before it is too late!" Edwin pleads wholeheartedly,...
Alinya is thinking about alchemy and about flesh golems in connection with both the woman and the dog. Kn Arcana: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26. Does it seem like they might be constructs?
