Cillian's heart skips a beat when he realizes the implications of the room. Amazing! In a quiet hush "A lifetime of work...lifetimes maybe." Taking care not to touch anything just yet, the elf's nimble eyes scan the tremendous find. Linguistics: 1d20 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (11) + 8 + (2) = 21 This may have a bonus +3 or +5 depending on the group vote in the DISCUSSION Tab.

Cillian quietly muses aloud. "Spectacles on the fourth are for reading, which aligns with learning the history. The third lion with the yoke must persevere. An ambusher must be cunning, which is the first lion. Lastly, the lion in the flag represents loyalty, lion five. Serving for the glory of an ideal larger than oneself, without the need for recompense."

The investigator takes care to search the room thoroughly, taking note of where each resource was.

"Agreed. I would rather remain undetected, even if that means we must forgo searching every room. If we can lure the caretaker away from the room without direct contact, then I think we should pursue that option. Given that we are the only ones in the library, any attack on the caretaker will be directly attributed to us." Ghost Sound anyone?

"We need to be wary of the time! I feel we may be close to the twilight of our allotted hours." @Ebonfist, would an INT check help determine how long it's been since we set our illusions upstairs into play? INT: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

"Mind if I give it a try?" The elf draws his own tools and attempts to disable any traps (magical or otherwise) and unlock the case. Disable Device+Inspiration: 1d20 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (7) + 9 + (5) = 21

Cillian makes certain his medallion showing his recent elevation as a Knight of Taldor hangs visibly on his chest before approaching. He bows his head to the Guardian. "Please allow us the benefit of your years and wisdom. I concede to your superior knowledge and hope to be proven worthy enough to learn from your words." The elf then waits for judgment, and hopefully some long hidden insight. Cillian is being honest and forthright in this interaction. Diplomacy: 1d20 ⇒ 15
Elf ~ Investigator 2 AC 15, touch 11, ff 14 | HP: 15 | Fort +0, Ref +4, Will +5; +2 vs. enchantments | Perception +10 |
No abilities that would help hide or conceal. Maybe Stealth? The investigator moves into the main stacks to search. Perception: 1d20 + 10 + 1d6 ⇒ (19) + 10 + (5) = 34
Elf ~ Investigator 2 AC 15, touch 11, ff 14 | HP: 15 | Fort +0, Ref +4, Will +5; +2 vs. enchantments | Perception +10 |
Cillian moves down to the doors on the left, checking it for any traps or alarms. Perception (Trapfinding): 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 1 = 27
Opening the door, he begins searching through tomes.

Cillian also sets up a table to look like a work area. He sets up books and his journal to look as if notes are being collected. Like some of the others, he waits until everyone is ready before activating his illusory double

The elf nods toward the dhampir, "I speak many languages you do not, so we may indeed complement each other in this way. I'm also trained in disabling traps, even those created by magic."
Elf ~ Investigator 2 AC 15, touch 11, ff 14 | HP: 15 | Fort +0, Ref +4, Will +5; +2 vs. enchantments | Perception +10 |
The elf takes copious notes as he records the exchange and mission briefing. "Well met my Allies. I am Cillian Subtiliter. A pleasure to work with you all." He reviews his notes, "Captian, this seems like quite a risk. To fail means our reputation would be further tarnished. However, Mendev does need all the help it can get. When do we leave?"
Elf ~ Investigator 2 AC 15, touch 11, ff 14 | HP: 15 | Fort +0, Ref +4, Will +5; +2 vs. enchantments | Perception +10 |
TriShadow's elven investigator checking in. For the record, after a specific 'quest', Cillian had been honored as an official Knight of Taldor. Also Cillian is pronounced SILL-e-en, like a window sill.

The investigator step up, clearly nervous about addressing the gathered assembly. He clears his throat a few times before beginning. "Your Highness, gathered dignitaries. Thank you for affording this time to share our findings." "Found isolated in the farming villages of the Carpenden Plains, was the homestead of Vereena Alcasti, a relative of the applicant and bound with him by blood to Countess Honaria Alcasti herself. Whilst there, we recovered letters and journals detailing Madam Honaria's experiences and exploits as she led a battalion in the Even-Tongied Conquest. These records go on to provide detailed information about Honaria’s leadership, depicting her as a skillful leader with a brilliant command of tactics, and also reference her indefatigable drive to achieve victory even in the face of dire challenges, such as the repeated inability to receive sufficient resources during some of her campaigns." The investigator pauses to sip some water. "Artwork discovered in the residence also depicts one of Honaria's greatest accomplishments, the defeat of a red dragon. Paintings and tapestries alike recount her armored form as she stands over the vanquished drake. Some of the paintings depicts the Alcasti, and the resemblence to Remaio is uncanny to say the least." "There can be little doubt that the efforts and sacrifice of the Alcasti family from generations ago have helped Andoran and her people. A legacy that has lasted to this very day."

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26 Sense Motive (Inspiration): 1d20 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 2 + (6) = 14 The keen-eyed spots...something, but he's not sure if he knows what to make of it.

Cillian interlocks his fingers and lowers his head, as if accepting a blessing. He is quiet and reverent during this time. When it is over, he looks toward Father Basri appreciatively. "Thank you for your thoughts and wishes. I will work hard to be worthy of these inspiring words."
Elf ~ Investigator 2 AC 15, touch 11, ff 14 | HP: 15 | Fort +0, Ref +4, Will +5; +2 vs. enchantments | Perception +10 |
The elf slides into the conversation. "If I may be allowed? As an observer of human history, there are many fascinating details that have been recently uncovered." The investigator goes on to provide context from their missions on behalf of a certain noble family of Taldor. History: 1d20 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (11) + 6 + (3) = 20
Elf ~ Investigator 2 AC 15, touch 11, ff 14 | HP: 15 | Fort +0, Ref +4, Will +5; +2 vs. enchantments | Perception +10 |
With a silent nod, the elf moves off toward the bureaucrat. He stays near the man discreetly waiting for a server to come by. As Solmon reaches for a glass of champagne, the investigator slides a hand out out and grabs at the letters. Sleight of Hand (Inspiration): 1d20 + 5 + 1d6 ⇒ (19) + 5 + (2) = 26

@Jimothy, We already had a plan using another character as the lead. You were the one that pointed out your high Diplomacy bonus. The assumption was that you were going to be on board and play the situation in a positive manner. The character can play up ignorance without torpedoing the mission. The 'my character wouldn't know' or 'this is what they would do' argument only hold so much water. There are ways to play 'in character' and still move things forward instead of bringing them to a grinding halt (or actually work against the party's best interests.).

Diplo, aid GLORIANA MORILLA: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 8

Nobility: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 Cillian fills the team in on the latest 'goins-on' in the kingdom. "Eutropia is apparently one of the good guys. Forward-thinking and liked by the commoners. She's is the only child of Grand Prince Stavian III, the ruler of Taldor. She has eyes on the throne. The only problem is that current Taldor law only allows for a male heir to inherit the crown. Some nobles fear she may try to stir things up. The current belief is that Eutropia will bring her claim directly to the Senate. At the moment, that ruling body is more progressive and odds are they would support her claim; thereby shattering centuries of misogynistic tradition. It sounds as if there might be a real war for the crown if a peaceful solution is not found."

Cillian pats the cleric on the shoulder, "My thanks Mally." He then turns to the business at hand. "I believe it would be the proper course of action to return Italice's remains, or at the very least, inter them elsewhere."
Elf ~ Investigator 2 AC 15, touch 11, ff 14 | HP: 15 | Fort +0, Ref +4, Will +5; +2 vs. enchantments | Perception +10 |
Cillian approaches cautiously, looking for any other traps first. He then pulls his tools and works on the malfunctioning guardian. Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15 Disable Device (+Owl): 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 2 = 21
