"We're friends, aren't we? We can share right now-come on, man, don't leave me just the sloppy seconds!" he says, completely fooled by your impersonation.

Nilvalor

Looking at him as if he's considering it, Nilvalor appears to reluctantly give in. "Alright, but you don't do a gods-damned thing without my say so, unnerstand? You keep your pants on and just follow my lead, and maybe we both get some arright? And don't forget you owe me one," Nilvalor growls in Atin's voice. "Follow me, and keep your mouth shut. I'm not about to bring another freeloader with us."

Nilvalor leads the way out of the barracks and over to the warehouse, where he stops 20 feet from the door and has his 'friend' do the same. "Stay here, I'll not have you spookin' them until they know that we've got one more comin' to the party. Think you can wait a couple minutes without shootin' your load in your pants?"

I am going to play out the next part assuming that he agrees. I'm trying to keep things moving and get everyone else involved. Let me know if I'm getting ahead of myself and I'll remove this next section.

Walking back into the warehouse, Nilvalor finds the others and in his own voice says, "Bastion, take Atin in the other room, would you? Quickly, if you don't mind. Brought a friend of his," Nilvalor says nodding towards Atin and jerking his thumb towards the door. "Maybe he knows something about the supplier, maybe not, but at least if he answers the same as Atin, we know they're not lying, right?" Shrugging his shoulders, Nilvalor hands Wendelstein the vial. "Or I could just get rid of him, but he might at least be able to confirm Atin's friends aren't really involved beyond being addicted to the same stuff."

[JNAProductions]

The other man does indeed wait, if impatiently.

[Lentrax]

At the mention of another guard being outside, Kyra grins wickedly. Wait.You said he is waiting outside? And he is assuming what he is getting into? Let me bring him inside. I'll get him in here without him even thinking anything amiss. Get yourselves ready.

And without hesitation, Kyra strips out of her armor and tunic. She undoes her hair, and tousles it before stepping over to the door.

She opens the door, and looks both ways for the man 'Atin' brought with him. When she spots him, she smiles and gestures him to come over to the door where he finds her waiting for him. Then she puts on a pouty face.

Atin took my friend and left me without anyone to play with. Think you could help me with that?

[JNAProductions]

The man does not speak, but the grin on his face says it all. He hurries inside, paying absolutely no attention to anything but the lovely lady in front of him.

[Lentrax]

Men.

They really do only have one brain, don't they?

Kyra wraps her arms around the mans neck as though preparing for what she had promised.

But instead, she pours her power into him, hoping to flush the poison from his body.

The man stiffens, then yells. "What the hell did you do to me?" as he shoves you off of him.

If you wish to keep him grappled, I'll say that you've already initiated one without resistance from the hug.

(1d20+4)[10] vs. (1d20)[6] plus whatever your Athletics is, if you WANT to grapple.

[Illven]

Katrina who had been blushing as Kyra stripped, waited to see if she could maintain the forceful hug.

[Lentrax]

Because I am trying to help you, now hold still!

I would like to use my Channel Divinity to activate Peerless Athlete, giving me advantage on Strength checks.

(1d20+3)[6], (1d20+3)[9]

If I cannot use my Channel Divinity before the grapple check, then just ignore the second roll.

I am not going to take the time to type out a long string of words that will get censored by the profanity filter, but believe me, they are there.

Edit 2: wait. Forgot to add my proficiency bonus since I am trained in athletics. That’s +3 to both of those rolls.

So, just checking-+6 to Athletics? If yes, this post is valid. If no, it is not.

Also, you might want to use a show of force/charm him/knock him out or something. Then question him.

You're able to maintain a grip on him, though just barely, He struggles, cussing up a storm as well.

[Illven]

Katrina sighs. I really suggest you sit down, and shut up except to answer our questions to the best of your ability. She intones.

Roll (1d20)[5]

[Pyrophilios]

Wendelstein had reignited his staff, but now lowered it again. He still had a few instances of the curing light left. It would be interesting to see if it could also help against addiction.

But first he studied the drug vial, so he would be able to find its kind.

[JNAProductions]

Imma give the guard advantage on the save against Suggestion, since you're actively attacking him. Not enough for an auto-pass (that'd require damage to be dealt) but enough to give the boy advantage.

(1d20)[11]

Wendelstein studies the vial of Vision. The liquid is iridescent, and flows oddly-simultaneously sticky and slick. Looking closely at it, you see images in it-pictures of your desires.

The guard sits down (assuming Kyra lets him).

[Niobaran]

Bastion

When he takes Atin over to the next room, he nods to ... the other Atin. "Help me bind him please." He asks Nilvalor, and brings the somewhat poor looking guard into the next room, to bind and gag him. He acts professionally, not showing any sadist tendencies or the like. In the end, it is a deed to be done to solve the mystery of the attempt on the life of the princess.

[Pyrophilios]

Wendelstein put away the flask and turned toward the captive:
"Greetings. I take it, you are one of Atin's friends and have partaken from the potion?"
While he spoke, Wendelstein tried to see the telltale signs in the corner of the man's mouth.

You're not seeing anything at this moment-but that might only appear when they're imbibing it, or have been physically active, or any of a million other reasons.

[Pyrophilios]

Wendelstein showed him the vial:
"This one."
He watched very carefully for signs of recognition and desire in the man's eyes.

His eyes go wide, and he reaches for it.

Gee, I wonder? :P

He recognizes it. He wants it.

[Pyrophilios]

Wendelstein quickly put the vial away again. "It seems you have fallen under the sway of this taint as well. Well, I'll give you relieve to your cravings if you answer us where we can find the producer of those vials. Atin says he has no means to contact them. Do you?"

[JNAProductions]

"I relied on Atin! He's the one who knew-I only went with him once," the other guard replies.

[Pyrophilios]

"And where did you go? Come on man, the sooner you tell us everything you know, the sooner you can get it. Shouldn't you have an interest too to get in contact with the dealers?"
Wendelstein replied calmly.

[JNAProductions]

"Just outside the city-between the standing stones. Gimme gimme gimme!" he says.

[Pyrophilios]

"Very well. Here." Wendelstein made as if to give the man the flask, but instead used the moment his hand touched the man's to channel the cleansing energy into him.

You'll cast the spell regardless, but...

The man's eyes film over for a moment, but he's able to grab the Vision from you. He undoes the cork hastily, spilling some on his shirt, but downs the dose.

You can see the tell-tale foam starting to gather at the corner of his mouth as he starts to get up, moving away from you all.

So, his turn is going to end with him still on the ground, but he is now Vision-enhanced.

[Illven]

Hey you still have questions to answer. Katrina remarks eager to not have a fight.

[JNAProductions]

"Then ask," he says.

[Pyrophilios]

"For one thing: When did all this begin? Did whoever supplied you ask for other tasks besides finding and abducting the princess?"
Wendelstein asked.

[Riggdgames]

Nilvalor

Nilvalor follows Bastion to the other room, dismissing the spell so that Atin wouldn't be tying up Atin. The man had enough to worry about. Pulling 50 feet of hempen rope from his pack, he ties the real Atin up thoroughly. He takes his time, making sure it's done right before wiping his hands off on the man's cloak and unclasping it. He tosses it back in Atin's lap and looks at Bastion. "Do you want me to keep an eye on him so you can watch over the others? I don't expect him to be too much trouble," Nilvalor says, nodding down at Atin.

"For one thing: When did all this begin? Did whoever supplied you ask for other tasks besides finding and abducting the princess?"
Wendelstein asked.

"About five months ago, 'cording to Atin. And nothing major-just 'not notice' someone sneaking in, let a few crimes go without any follow-up, stuff like that," he says.
