Tense Negotiations
Dag, you get the door open.
By "lay down your weapons", the priests mean cast them away, not just put them back at your side, duh. They'll carefully explain the meaning if they need to. Dag and Theo, please clarify whether you're putting weapons on the ground.
As you step forward, the cleric says: "All of you. You're surrendering, get it? Weapons cast aside or your friends bleed deep. We milked your pretty prince and we'll do the same 'less you admit your defeat." Knives draw beads of blood against the pale and dark skins of Az and Thak.
They're a full round away, back basically against the altar.
...
Theodore, you quickly search the Ambassador's assistant. You find a big opal ring and a pouch o gold.
"Let's not take all night. All of you, get in here, NOW. Or ears will be removed." They throw Thak's and Az's weapons off to the side, out of reach. Somewhere, a horse stirs, unhappily.
[N.B.: Given the time-critical nature of the situation, we are in a regime of limited retcon ability. Please don't post a week from now saying 'wait, I wanted to do X Y and Z!' You guys have a grace period of a few days, but I'll mainly assume that nonposters go with majority actions. This is it, guys... how will the module wrap up?]
