But first, finish the brigands with your longsword! Also loot them for GREAT JUSTICE

You do not see why you'd need to talk to corpses.

> Finish the brigands with your longsword! Also loot them for GREAT JUSTICE!

They are already dead, but you stab them a few times with your sword just to make sure. You search their bodies, and you find some coins, notes and some jewelery. One of their daggers catch your eye, and you pilfer it.

> Return to your studies in the "forbidden" library.

You return to the room, unhindered now that everyone ran away from the library. You sit down in a nearby chair. You still feel cold, even though there's a lamp right next to you and monastery is warm. Shortly, you hear some footsteps outside, and a voice saying,

"What the... What the hell happened here? Ed, Pete, go through that door and see what you find. Keep 'em from flanking us. The rest of us'll push forward."

You hear footsteps approach the door, as the rest leave. The doorknob begins turning.

What do you do?

[Andir]

I'm going to play out a couple scenarios as I might not get to check this this weekend depending on how things work out...

> Stand solemnly with eyes facing down and hands clasped just below your chest awaiting the entry of the soldiers.
> Upon entry, tell them calmly that you have protected the building from the fire they started at great cost.

From their reaction:

1.  (Reaction: Calm, relieved / Sheathing weapons if drawn)
> Ask them to station someone at the doors [of the forbidden library] until you have a chance to review the situation.  "Do not let anyone in."
> Ask them if there is any more immediate need for help in the area.

2.  (Reaction: Drawing weapon and advancing)
> Tell them in an assertive, yet calmed, tone to cease advance and drop weapons.  Failing that, Glyph of Projectiles on them.

edits:  wasn't sure of guards/brigands coming in... I'm assuming they do not know you, you are dressed in armor that may or may not agree with them.  I think playing on their side right now might be best.

Second edit:  See next post

[Karnewarrior]

DON'T USE THE VOICE OF POWER! IT DARKENS THE WORLD! NONONONONONONONONONONO!


>Turn to men entering the door and ask why they have disturbed you. If they ask about the brigands, tell them "They disturbed me." in a calm tone.

The best threats are the ones left unspoken...

[Mephisto]

But we can't speak. Normally, that is.

[Andir]

But we can't speak. Normally, that is.

Actually... now that you mention it we don't know...

Let me revise my last post...:

> Stand solemnly with eyes facing down and hands clasped just below your chest awaiting the entry of the soldiers.

From their reaction:

1.  (Reaction: Calm, relieved / Sheathing weapons if drawn)
> Brush them back out with your hands as if wiping dust from a book.

2.  (Reaction: Drawing weapon and advancing)
> Hold your hand up in a stopping motion, palm facing them.  Failing that, Glyph of Projectiles on them.

[Ottofar]

Quickly test to yourself, with a single, or a couple of words, can you now speak naturally?

Testing yourself would require speech... which could cause more danger.

[Darkness3313]

You know what time it is kids? Its Glyph time.
>Cast Glyph of Invisibility
Thats my suggestion anyhow.

[Acanthus117]

I bet they'll be guards. I suggest we attempt to master the powers, dispelling the BAD FEELINGZ YO

[lordnincompoop]

> Hold your hand up in a stopping motion, palm facing them.

The door opens, and two rebels are at the door, swords drawn. You try to prevent them from entering by holding you hand up, and they say,

"Look, we don't really want to kill you, so if you'd just nicely stand aside and pretend this never happened..."

What do you do?

[Acanthus117]

Deny them mercy! incapacitate both of them with your Voice of power, and stab them.

Try using the Glyph of expansion on the other's head.
