The upper catwalk rattles as armored frog-feet march across, just above Sashi's head. For the moment, the cages are concealing her position from the lictors, but from what snippets of conversation she can pick up, it sounds like they're heading for her level... and worse still, they have a description to search by. She'll have to move quickly!<br/><br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Ciro's aid another (Bluff): 1d20 (13) + 0 = 13, success<br/>Sashi's next Bluff check gains a +2 circumstance bonus.<br/><br/>Bullywug's Spot: 1d20 (7) + 0 = 7, fail to penetrate disguise</div></div></div><br/><br/>Ciro easily slips back into his "panicked slave" routine, a performance only enhanced by the stink of frustrated predators that pervades the lower levels. At the moment, though, the performance goes unappreciated; the bullywugs near the archway are occupied in the least efficient moving job Sashi has ever seen.<br/><br/>Four bullywug guards stumble across the landing with a glassed-up cage, each trying to move in a slightly different direction. A fifth bullywug remains on the staircase ready to catch the swaying cage if it tips, while a sixth has planted himself directly under the archway and is barking orders. The group leader glances up at Sashi as she approaches, giving her the most cursory of examinations before he resumes his tirade at his subordinates. She's no trouble, he thinks- just another another gladiator, killing time with her pet lunch while she waits for her turn in the pit. It's no skin off his nose if she wants to wander around.<br/><br/>Trespassing, however, is another issue entirely... As Sashi attempts to slip through the archway, she feels a webbed hand grab her by the shoulder.<span style="font-size: 80%; line-height: 116%;">(Melee touch: nat 20!)</span><br/><br/>"Now 'old on, Missy," the head bullywug insists. "Down there's private rooms- Nagas only! See that?" He points down the hallway at a double-locked secure door, above which is mounted a giant shield. On the shield, a massive serpent is depicted crushing an eagle in its jaws. The serpent's coils fill most of the shield, rising up from a tangle of thorny vines and interrupted at three points by ellipsoid bulges.<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Knowledge (nobility and royalty) DC 15 to identify this at the Sogluyem coat of arms</div></div></div><br/>"That means 'keep out, or we'll eat yer.' Got it?" the frogman asks, waiting for an affirmative before he releases Sashi.
