Jamie's hunch proved to be correct. As it turned out, Captain Adaya of the city guard was in charge of the patrol route for this particular stretch of the market district, and the most popular place to relax for guards in the area was a pub by the name of The Unlaced Corset.
The pub didn't seem like a respectable place for a guard to be seen, to be sure. The sun had yet to even go down, and yet several clearly drunk patrons could be seen stumbling out of the establishment, wobbling on unsteady feet as they tried to make their way home. From inside, chatter and laughter could be heard pouring through the doorway. Still, if this was where their target was, the duo had little choice but to go in.
The interior had a thick atmosphere, heavy with the smell of liquor and smoke. The staff, all attractive in their own ways, moved around the many tables, dressed in low-cut gowns with skirts that barely reached mid-thigh. Such fashion would be scandalous anywhere else, but an establishment such as this relied on such appeal.
The guards were easy enough to pick out of the crowd, clad in iron armor bearing the seal of the city. There were three of them, seated at a table and flashing their recently acquired jewelry with reckless abandon. The women on the sides, a blonde and a redhead, seemed to speak to the one in the middle with at least some level of respect. The woman that was likely Captain Adaya was a large woman, with tanned skin and jet black hair. Her armor seemed to be of a bit better quality than her subordinates, boasting pauldrons in addition to the somewhat lacking breastplate and skirt of studded leather.
"Captain Adaya?" Raine asked, stepping forward to the table. All conversation stopped as the three guards stopped to look at their unwelcome guest.
"And who's asking, sweetness?" the woman in the center asked, looking the mage up and down. "Heard about my skills in bed, and wanted to see for yourself? Is that it?"
Raine blushed in response. "Y-y-you are... You are under arrest, on charges of corruption."
The smile vanished from the Captain's face, and the woman stood up from her seat along with her two cronies.
"The hell did you just say? I'll have you know, leveling false charges against a city guard is a grave crime. You'll be lucky if we just tied your naked body to the fountain in the city center!" Captain Adaya growled, her voice growing hard.
((Chance to intimidate. If Jamie succeeds, she and Raine get a bonus to the first round of combat! BigMara, you'd need a roll of 5 or better. You can use the following site to simulate a d10 roll, and remember your 7 Strength gives you a +3 modifier))
