Nathan: Engineering: Skill: +2 Roll: -2 Total: +0

Nathan can't seem to find a direction for the interference at all. If it weren't for the fact that Felix is adamant that it's not an equipment problem, he would have thought it an equipment problem.

Apprised of (or noticing) the interference, Arkady tries his hand at tracking it down; and with a sinking suspicion that mysteries is the relevant skill here, if he can't find anything else he appropriates the RDF gear and asks Sir Ulath to cast some relatively harmless magic to see if he emits radio noise.

"Hello!" Felix booms merrily in Elene while waving at the guard approaching him. He swivels the turret so it's facing slightly away from the city walls, allowing him to place his boot on the roof of the ruck in front of him from where he's standing on the turret base. "Today is a fine day to meet new people and see new things, wouldn't you say?"

Arkady: Engineering: +5 Roll: -2 Total: +3

Arkady puts in a certain amount of effort, but can do little other than confirm Felix's findings. Perhaps the group can investigate further tonight?

--------------

"Um, yes," says the young fellow with the spear, looking about what Felix thinks of as university age. "Um, might I ask the nature of your business in Cimmura?"

"We're a diplomatic envoy representing my people, the Terran, here to discuss matters most important with the Regent Lycheas," Felix replies. He smiles a warm smile at the young man and awaits his response.

"I, er, um. Do you have any dangerous weapons or illegal magic?"

Felix mulls his response over for a moment.

"Magic? I can't say any of my people would know how to do it. As for weapons? What kinds of weapons would you consider dangerous, and are there any kind that aren't allowed in the city proper?"

Arkady watches for now. So does Sgt Kalashnikov, sitting quietly next to Arkady. "Little mother, that is the city we have been smelling."

"Any longbows, crossbows, or other projectile weapons are not permitted in the city proper. Neither is any use of poison, or any weapon with a blade longer than your forearm."

Piper nods at Arkady's words, keeping her eyes on the city.

"Well, we did bring with us a collection of rifles to ward off bandits and such. We already had to fight off a Manticore and a pack of Cockatrice in the forests of yours these past couple weeks, so I was sort of hesitant to not be armed..." Felix shrugs off the belt holding his rifle to his back and puts it in the truck bed. "A rifle is a projectile weapon in a vein similar to a crossbow, so I figure it's only fair to leave it outside the gate."

Felix goes around and collects the rifles. Only the rifles. He makes sure the small holdout pistol with spare ammo clips remains tucked away where he can retrieve it later. He also doesn't touch any of stun guns, stun grenades, or any of the other nonlethal armaments that are in the unarmed cargo truck. With rifles in hand, Felix dumps them in the bed of the truck with the turret.

"Hey Nathan," Felix says in English. "Sir Ulath mentioned some time ago that an order of Knights he associates with have a charter house outside the city. Would you mind taking these and stashing them there? I'm sure Sir Ulath will escort you. Arkady and I will go on ahead and engage in diplomacy."

"Works for me. I might just stay out here and leave the diplomacy stuff to you guys. I never liked cities much anyways."

Nate makes sure to grab one of the unmodified radios. It might not have the range to reach the ship, but it'll be more than adequate for staying in contact with Felix and Arkady.

Arkady observes "We could wait for Sir Ulath, if it isn't far. He knows a great deal that we don't, but need to."

The gate soldier's eyes get very wide at the number of rifles Felix is moving around. Or possibly at the casual mention of manticores and cockatrices. Ahead of them, the other cart finally rolls in through the gates.

"I, er, you'll need to leave both your magic carts outside the city as well, sir," says the guardsman, nervously.

"We could leave them at the Pandion chapterhouse," suggests Sir Ulath, naturally unaware that this option had already been mentioned in English. "It's not far."

The Baron rolls his eyes. "Uncivilised brutes, the lot of them," he opines. "But they'll guard your - magic carts. Not much else they're -" He notices the way Sir Ulath is glaring at him and wisely stops talking.

"Well, the carts aren't magic but I'd have a hard time explaining that to someone that doesn't have the same background in good old fashioned Terran Engineering that we do," Felix smiles. After a moment, though, he frowns. "Though we'll have a hard time moving them both with only one driver between the two of them to take them to this chapter house. Magic or not, one driver when two are needed is something of a bother... I'll go on ahead with the gift basket and you can catch up with me later, Arkady? Nathan?"

Arkady shakes his head. (English)"That would be unwise, I think. If the chapter house is nearby, we can all more usefully, and safely, walk back together from it. Besides, the knights should know what we all look like so we can reclaim our property without problems." (Elene)"Sir Ulath, perhaps you could introduce us to the knights of this chapter?"
