Once inside the chapter house, Tabetha glanced around at the somewhat oddly-matched crowd. Her expression shifted a little bit, first to confusion, then back to amusement, and finally to outright suspicion. "Well, that's … way too convenient," she said, eyes resting primarily on Erianthe, Lazerette, and Lyra. "Nothing's ever this easy. Vin made it sound like I'd be running around all day trying to find everyone. Though I guess I still have, what, four left, I guess?"<br/><br/>She started doing a quick count , then half-turned back towards Reliyian. "And you make six. A'right, yeah, four." She spun on her heels again "I assume you're Lazerette and Lyra, seeing as how you ain't ten feet tall. Which'd make you Erianthe, huh? She wasn't lying when - 'ey!"<br/><br/>Tabetha only barely avoided Eshalu's initial rush, but stumbled over a chair in her haste to avoid the charging elf woman. "What'd you think you're doing?!" she squawked in an offended and clearly frightened tone of voice, barely managing to regain her balance. As had Eshalu had intended, however, her<strong>good</strong>effort didn't prevent her from getting<em>Cornered</em>. "Let's not do anything hasty, a'right?" she said, glancing around again.<br/><br/>However, despite her concern, she apparently valued the assignment given to her too highly to let anyone run off, at least without her also being present. "Hey, wait!" She waved vaguely at the departing figures of Lyra and Lazerette before they stepped outside of the chapter house. "Don't just make me track you down later like this. I have enough stuff to do without having to run all over the city looking for people. She'll probably have food waiting for you. She's pretty good about that sort of thing!" It didn't much sound like a lie, though the stress that the woman was under made it a little bit trickier to tell.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Roll Result: Tabetha Odden rolled: 4d6<br/>Comment: Athletics avoid getting trapped<br/>Result: 1, 5, 1, 3, <br/>Total: 10<br/><br/>Net -1 on roll: Good (+3) defense against Eshalu's Create Advantage. <em>Cornered</em> aspect applied to Tabetha.
