With the mayor in his chamber, Hildar and Nekurr sleeping in two of the guest beds, and Bruv and Tronus off to their "lodgings," Nera is left awake alone in the manor's second-floor guest wing. Her assigned guest room offers a good view of the fields between the manor and the Galbernost farm, where scarecrows stand illuminated in the moonlight. The sounds of the swamp outside encroach upon Nekurr's purr-like snoring, but otherwise things are silent.
OOC:
Assuming Nera plans to wait a bit before sneaking out, somebox, give me a
Hard (PPP) Vigilance check with two setbacks (one since, if the mayor is going to sneak out, he'll know the place like the back of his hand, the second since you're up a story above him). I'll give you a boost for the eerie silence, though.
At the neighboring farm, the Galbernost patriarch seems annoyed by the whole affair but makes sure his guests have water to wash up. He then sets a chair next to the farmhouse wall, where he tries to stay awake. Meanwhile, the two guards sit on a tree stump between the farmhouse and the barn and chatter about not much of anything. Bruv and Tronus find the hay itchy but serviceable for a bed. Less welcoming are the three goats they are sharing the barn with and the family of rats that has set up a nest in the rafters. Nevertheless, the two inquisitors reason that if they're going to sneak off, it might be easier to do so from the relatively more open barn.
OOC:
So, if you two are planning to create dummies that look like you before sneaking off, you can do that with an
Average Deception check, upgraded once (RP). I'll let you treat it as a combined check to make both dummies from straw or dirt or whatever's at hand. Add a boost for the poor lighting.
Your final roll would be
GGGG+BB x RP unless you augment or flip a SP.
