Anna spoke up first. "The fortress south of here is under siege by enemy forces," she explained. "It was our original destination, but we had no chance of makign it through the siege,<br/>so we journeyed here, to re-evaluate our plans, and ensure that the message was passed on."<br/><br/>Lord Antorus looks genuinely shocked by this information. "Under siege? We've heard no word of enemy movements even in the area. This is quite disturbing. I'll have a dispatch sent immediately, and see about requesting new orders for your team. Is there anything else?"<br/><br/>"Not at the moment," Anna replied. "We appreciate the offer of assistance."<br/><br/>"Of course, of course," the lord replied. "And you're welcome to stay here, for the duration. We have plenty of room, and I'd not want you to miss the returning dispatch."<br/><br/>"Thank you, Lord Antorus," Sarianna replied, in her deep, rumbling voice that seemed to catch the lord off-guard. He looks a little uneasy around the dragon woman, but nods in agreement.<br/><br/>"I'm sure you must all be tired. I'll have my guards lead you to your rooms, and let you know when dinner is ready. There are also baths available, if you need to freshen up."<br/><br/>A DC 20 Sense Motive shows that he actually seems to be honest about everything.
