((Noted.  Is there any sort of roll associated with bribing an official?))<br/><br/>Trishna started to relax as the guard appeared to believe her bald-faced lie about the sickle.  Then, when she was asked about a permit, she tensed up again.  She always kept Ivy's permit with her, but she didn't have one for the weapon.  Opening her belt pouch she dug around it until she came up with Ivy's permit and a gold coin.  Holding the coin between the paper and her hand she handed the permit over to be inspected, sliding the coin into the guard sergeant's hand at the same time.  "I can't seem to find the permit for the sickle, I must have left it at home, but surely this can be overlooked just once?" she asked.
