(ooc: LOL! Very good post, Starshadow!

But I think Skye still stands as the party's most leader-ish character, since she remains the most protective and the most female. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] )

You find a comfortable seat in an overstuffed burgundy chair facing the window you'd peered into before. This chair just barely touches arms with the sofa the woman is on. This is a perfect angle to watch from the corner of your eye. However, the target is coiled in an almost fetal position, making examination slightly challenging.
(Search roll = 11 + skill modifier) What you can gather is guesswork. Her attire suggests a roguish character: a black hooded tunic, slacks too loose to be considered even remotely ladylike, boots so worn there was no evidence of a clicking heel left, and scraps and straps of leather here and there. She seemed too small and thin to be human, and the pale, delicate hand that dangled over the edge of the couch confirmed that she was probably of elvish origin. The last thing you notice in your scan is a metallic buckle on the woman's thigh, which she is using to watch you.
As you lower your hood, she inhales rather audibly, and your whisper initiated an equally loud exhale. With a soft "mmfh", she pulled herself up into a sitting position, gripping the arm of the sofa tentatively. Without lowering her hood she muttered a reply. "I heard the mayor's wife almost choked on a grape last week." The mottled fire light allowed you to see the curve of a smile on the face beneath the hood.
