As the three gathered at the temple's front door, they would be able to see the four guards arguing with two of the church's staff. Trishna would recognize one as Sister Jaleh, a half-elf who had been leading the worship of The Green Mother in the absence of any superiors. The other was dressed as an Acolyte.<br/><br/>"-We have our orders," the Sergeant said, "You're wanted for questioning regarding the disappearance of the Mother Superior. Or whatever you called her."<br/><br/>"And it was one of<span style="font-style: italic">you</span>who delivered the message that called her away," Jaleh responded, "If you really care about records so much, then you obviously have the evidence already. You do<span style="font-style: italic">not</span>need to take us with you."<br/><br/>"Come on Ma'am," another guard said, "Let's just do it already. She does have a point..." he readied his nightstick.<br/><br/>"...Fine. We'll capture them one way or another," the Sergeant conceded.<br/><br/>"Idiots," Jaleh muttered a few magic words and raised her fists, "Do you think I'm helpless without a sickle? You're just thugs who've never faced a real fight." The acolyte stepped back and began rifling through his pockets. In turn, the guards all readied their clubs.<br/><br/>The three women watching would all get the sense that this was a far more even fight than the guards realized. Just a little interference might change the outcome entirely...<br/><br/>Would they step in?<br/><br/>{Cowrie, what is the Green Mother's alignment?}
