Crouched on the roof like a gargoyle, Aria smiled sympathetically and tried to calm Kass with her face and tone. "Hey, I figure a hard fight is a good sign, in a backhanded way, I can sure believe this demented thespians were in league with the other monstrosities we've fought. Those two doormen were in on it, whatever 'it' is. I figured we had a few hours before their team makes a move in Luthcheq - it's about midnight now and the impostor said, uh, 'The dead hours before tomorrow's dawn?' I'm inclined to poke around here a little more, since we're already here and we only have so many teleports - and those scrolls were expensive! - at least until we can find another merchant with more.  It's kinda like when you wanted to warp back after fighting the giantess on the mountain: our reasons for coming that far, and here now, haven't been rendered less likely to bear fruit, as far as I can tell, we just were marked as 'impostors' ourselves somehow. Maybe they could detect our thoughts or good hearts, or 'Impresario' was a sort of duress trap false codeword, or they do that with anyone they don't recognize. I have no idea whether those magic-aura'ed false doors were something more than decoys, and whether the place has a real second floor or it's just the height of the auditorium," she gestured to the building, "but it seems like there's something to the theater house, whether something worth guarding, or it's just a den where some of these city-ransoming conspirators hang out and go as operatic troubadours as a pasttime or public cover. In times past my usual way is to scour around for documents or to 'convince' someone else to share something 'enlightening'." She frowned at the sirine bodies; unfortunately her own methods of fighting sometimes made it hard to safely bring a foe down in a state to share their thoughts. Maybe sometime she ought to find a wand with one of those corpse-conversing spells priests used, she reflected.<br/><br/><br/><br/>You should never feel that my character's opinion means yours is doing it wrong b/c I'm DMing. If you do (in so many words, if you think Aria's 'metagaming') it means I'm DMing wrong .<br/><br/>(Anyway, how do you know this was the wrong move? A hard fight doesn't mean that...)<br/><br/>(The last sentence is a reference to the fact that you can't deal a nonlethal while sneak attacking, except with a weapon that normally can such as a sap or unarmed strike, even with the -4 attack penalty for making 'regular' nonlethal attacks with a lethal weapon.0<br/>
