GM:
"Oh, you be a dignitary, consorting with the likes of Cavello. Old Jaffer is proud to help such an interesting Noble lady."
I'm just going to make small talk while I steer her "kinda" towards the Citado while looking for a place to have a more intimate discussion.
She looks at you quizzically and says, "No, Cavello is the Admiral, I am going to the Commodore Thrag. If you are bringing me to his castle you are going the wrong way."

She says, "Thank you for your service but you obviously have no idea what you are doing." she then digs her spurs into the horse's side and gallops away from you.

You ask one person and they smile and tell you where the Villa is and on what street within the naval yard district. You make your way down there and you find the villa which is very large considering it is that of a Commodore. It is guarded by two large orcs in seamen's clothes.

GM:
Johnny makes himself look at the woman and walks directly up to the guards and says "I need to speak to your lord immediately. There is an imminent threat that he needs to be made aware of."
You bluff your way past the guards and they look confused. You ask some of the servants where the Commodore is and they tell you he is in his study. You knock on the door and he says "Entrar" your Beran enables you to understand it means to enter and you see the Orc man in his dapper naval attire and he says, "Senora Jacale, my men plan to take you on your cruise about the harbor tomorrow at dawn, is there anything I can help you with?"

It has been longer. It was an hour since he met with the woman you are pretending to be. You did not know where to go and she was on horseback and you were on foot.

"You're saying that she's already been here? That's not so good. You should speak to a priest or mage to make sure the enchantment magic hasn't already been used on you."

I'll use hypnotic gaze on him, with the idea being that detect magic will detect an enchantment effect.

Using Hypnotic gaze, which is a magic effect. I'm trying to get someone to cast detect magic on him, which will back up the veracity of my claim.

That's why I asked him to get someone that can detect magic. Ideally, the situation would go something like this:
Me: you've been mind controlled.
Him: No I haven't.
Me: get someone you trust to cast detect magic on you.
Third person: ya, you have an enchantment effect on you.
Me: See? mind controlled.
You try to use your hypnotic gaze on him and it does not seem to work. He says, "I do not think this makes any sense at all. Are we going on our voyage tomorrow morning or not?" he claps his hands and a guard comes and he says, "Could you escort madame Jacale to her room?"
If you wish, please give me a Knowledge Arcana roll

John [spoiler] You get the idea that whatever he is under is a much stronger form of mind control than you possess either dealing with something ingested or maybe another form of ritual enchantment.
You are escorted to your "room" and the guard unlocks the door and opens it and you move in the suite quickly and the guard closes the door behind you and the woman you had tried to escort to this villa comes out of the commode and she sees you looking identical to her and says, "What kind of game are you trying to play with me?

GM:
Going to maintain concentration on the spell to see what she's going to make as an argument.
The two of you are brought before Commodore Thragg and he looks somewhat baffled at first and the real purple woman starts off saying, "Commodore, it is your friend Jacale and this woman is an impostor."
The commodore looks at you and says, "You know impersonating someone else is a criminal offense. I suggest you come clean and I won't be forced to call an Executora."

Okay, so I have a question about a rules corner-case: If I cast murderous command on her, does she consider him her ally? if not, that means she'd leave (at least momentarily). If so, she would attack him. As a corollary to that, if she attacked him, would it break whatever spell she has on him?
