Characters: Arulas, Ethan, Kalista, Doc, -- and Nyx?

The Lumberjacks ride with their team of borrowed pack mules behind them. They retrace their path along the trail back through the jaguars' forest. The sky is clear during the journey, and frequent shooting stars decorate the night sky. It takes them a day of hard riding to cover the distance, but they do arrive at sundown at the familiar guard tower.

An unfamiliar female voice calls out from the tower, "Sal de aquí!" (Get out of here.)

Kalista answered in Spanish, "It is Kalista, Knight of the Order of Lord Coke and friend to your enclave."

Digging up his gear, the Atlantean slips into his spare toga, a pale blue piece of cotton with a silver trim seen on.  Jason, accompanying the Lumberjacks, minus Polkitain, rides one of the looted robot horses.  Spending much of the ride in meditation, he is able to recovdr his energies, and even complete his own healing.
As they ride, the Atlantean attracts Ethan's attention, then touches the life-like flaming phoenix tattooed across his chest.  The Tattoo glows with a soft light, flickering like it really is burning with slowly flapping wings.  The areas of bare muscle, separating the Tattoos from the rest of his tattooing like borders, are soon filled with tattooed skin once again.  The magic can even bring back the recently deceased, he tells the medic.  But there is a cost, as it permanently weakens me.

Yes, Jason is fully healed and fully recharged.

The dwarven girl yells back, "I don't care if you are Rozzo, patron saint of vampire hunters. It's sundown. I don't open this door for anyone until morning."

  Arulas laughs and dismounts. He looks at his companions and says to them and them alone. "Get a light ring set up. We either get in or we defend this spot because I smell an attack." He doesn't walk he basically struts up to the door like he already knows the response. "I have two questions answer them please. Now who is the dwarf in charge of the First Watch? And where is he?"

Soy Iason Ianos Damianos, Asesino de Vampiros de la Casa de Luminine, Familia de Acheron. Puedes llamarme Jason Damien, he calls out.  Tenemos razones para creer que tienes uno o más vampiros dentro de tus salones en este momento.
He dismounts and takes out a stake to draw, on the ground, a larger version of the bites Kalista had said she saw on the new mother's ankle.  ¿Has visto alguna mordedura en alguien que se vea así?

We have reason to believe that you have one or more vampires within your halls at this moment.
Have you seen any bites on anyone that look like this?

Let's see some rolls. Even after all of decades, Palladium has still not specified how those persuasion stats are supposed to be used. Anyone who wants to try talking the Dwarven guard into letting them inside, roll me a percentile. If you have a bonus to trust/intimidate or charm/impress (use one or the other, not both), add that bonus to your roll. You are looking for a combined team score of at least 100% which should be fairly easy so long as the rolls are not terrible.

The answers to the questions asked will depend largely on the outcomes of these rolls.

Trust/Intimidate at 60%:
21:13, Today: Jason Damien rolled 160 using 1d100+60 ((100)).

You jerk...

Okay, the female answers Arulas first (still in Dwarveny-Spanish), "Captain Geraldo will be here any minute to begin his shift. If he knows you, you can wait out there for him to vouch for you."

In response to Jason's request, some mumbling may be heard by the guards inside the tower. "Please hold, hunter of Luminine." Less than a minute later, the heavy metal door unbolts and is opened wide. Dwarven women (and one human) come out of the tower and a toss flower petals into the air. Two male guards actually roll out a carpet for him.

The female guard who was speaking earlier comes out. She's dressed in plate male with small silver spikes and spiked helm, holding a guirisame pike with a silver blade. "Welcome Iosan, the people of Harl Hall have counted Clan Luminine a close friend for many, many years." She makes heart-eyes at the Atlantean. "I do hope you will staying with us and sharing tales of your adventures, Sir Ionas."

Around this time, Geraldo arrives. In Dwarven, he admonishes the guards. Then he turns to the PCs and says (in Spanish), "Welcome back to Harl Hall, Lumberjacks. You look tired but well. As soon as you have passed the mirror test, you may come inside. I will escort you downstairs. There's no point in staying outside any longer than is necessary."

Jason is shocked and surprised that the dwarves of this hall would know of his house.  For a moment, he is speechless.  When the guard opens the gate and comes out, he finally speaks, he stammers at first.
Um... Um... Se... Se suponía que debía haber conocido a uno de mis parientes al norte de aquí, pero él nunca apareció. ¿Lo has visto? Se llama Cyrano Augustus Luminine.
When the captain comes out to admonish the guard, Jason turns to him and introduces himself and explains the reason for their sudden arrival.

ROFLMMFAO!  Don't blame me!  I can't control the diceroller or fudge the rolls made on it!

In reply to Jason Damien (msg # 10):

OOC: I think the only one of us that doesn't speak Spanish is Ethan. While my character does I do not at least not enough to read Spanish. Just saying.

I'm using Google Translate myself.

Captain Geraldo is a male Dwarf with a misshapen nose, short beard, muscular build (which is apparent on his shirtless body), shaved head, and scars and tattoos on his arms. He carries no weapons save for a heavy metal chain with silver weights around his waist. He says nothing more but points to a large silver mirror on the back of the security door.

The female guard answers, "Oh we haven't had the privelage of meeting many of your illustrious clan. We know them by reputation and of course by the word of clansman, Rozzo. The human in this part of the world call him Saint Rozzo, I think."
