Sigil: The City of Doors

[b][i]''It will depend''[/i][/b] they replies honestly [i][b]''My duties towards the organisation takes a few hours at most but my duties to the ideals of Freedom make it so that I will not seek to deprive another of theirs unless it is to stop them from depriving another of it.''[/b][/i]

"Love to see a wizard properly be able to transform into a Mind Flayer..." He says with a nod. "Alright, Do you feel that your duties within your Faction will hinder your reliability as a worker?"

[i][b]''No, you are not pronouncing it right but I am used to it. And yes, I am L'Orr-hui and a truly one of the illithid.''

"Of course not, but it offers a extra layer of protection. One cannot solely rely on magic; wits and a keen mind are necessary. But, if you ever feel uncomfortable, the door is open and you may leave at any time."

He nods in affirmation to his statement. "Let's begin the interview, then."

The glyph begins to glow underneath you and you are enveloped in a yellow light. "Now, first question: Are you actually L...L'orrhui. Am I saying it right?"

[b][i]"Zones of Truth are not fool proof ser Tensar. I hope that this is simply an extra layer of protection."[/i][/b]

With that, the mindflayer sat down

[b][i]"Let us begin."[/i][/b]

"Of course." He nods his head, and you get a sense of no deception in his thoughts. "You'd probably realize it anyway the moment the spell was activated, but I always let my applicants know what is about to happen. Not all of them are as sharp as you, however, and pick up on the glyph right away."

He smiles and continues. "I'm not sure if you've ever had the pleasure of experiencing a Harmonium interrogation, but one generally [i]knows[/i] when they are under a Zone of Truth spell. Hard to root out the deception."

He sits himself down and sorts thru the notes, letting you get as comfortable as must to begin the next step.

[i][b]''While I understand the need for honesty in such trade as yours I do wonder: where you intending on informing me of such a measure should I had fail to notice it?''[/b][/i]

They tilted their head

"Very perceptive." He said with a nod to his head. "It's a Glyph installed with a Zone of Truth spell on it. I have there to ensure I know exactly who I'm going to be working with. Deception is a commodity used and traded quite often in this town, after all. You're more than welcome to examine it, of course, if it will put you at ease. I just ask you not to disable it. It's not easy or cheap to place one down, after all."

[i][b]''Of course, just allow me to study the glyph drawn on the chair first. I would'nt be able to look at it once sitting down, after all.''[/b][/i]

While this illithid was more sociable then most, they seldomly enjoyed people trying to make them a fool. A point needed to be passed

"That's fine. Well, no point in belaying it, let's begin." He says to you, motioning you to follow him. (Assuming you do), you follow him thru a few hallways and into a office with a chair facing a desk. "Just have a seat over here and I'm going to just start you off with some basic questions."

((Passive Investigation passed: You notice a glyph draw on the chair he is asking you to sit in.))
