Getting through the check point was easier than pie. Ulden's hair color change was enough, causing Draiss to snark about Kenting through security, though only Ulden heard, and he didn't get the reference. Once inside, Draiss spent the week before the group's first appearance in the noble court, before a group of 'lesser' nobles before they got to preform for the Emperor, the 'Hero', and the rest of the 'High Nobles', wandering around the city, talking to people and getting a feel for the popular opinion of the upper echelons of society. It also allowed him to provide one of the two scores that would be used to show off the 'heroes'' betrayal, the group doing the production up to the group's charge into the miasma border, the second for his and Ulden's 'surprise' for Tasoa.
