Act I: Prison Break

I need a marching order and Perception checks, pretty please.

The halls are empty as you walk toward the front door, prepared to make your way across the courtyard to the gatehouse and crash the illicit poker game ran by Blackerly. Once you start to open the door, though, something catches the zealous dwarf's attention: a kennel along the back wall of the eastern gatehouse. From where he sits at the front door of the main keep, he can see that the kennel has two guard dogs currently lazing about. Everyone present can remember that, when they were brought in, the dogs snapped, growled, and barked at you as you went past. They could draw some unwanted attention if they were to start barking as you get close.

Dogs do not scare Harrison, but they are noisy and can be a nuisance. Then again, they are prison escapees and the ogre isn't exactly discreet...

As Xharin steps forward to cast his spell, he feels energy flow from Magoldor's unholy symbol, and feels a bit more confident than he did before...it is as though Asmodeus himself is guiding his hands.

Arcane energy flows into the sand as Xharin blows it in the direction of the kennels. The tiny grains drift upon unseen currents, to fall gracefully into the eyes of the two guard dogs residing there. One lays down immediately, the other seems to shake its head for a second before yawning and turning in circles to drift off into dreamland.

Xharin knows that he has a minute before the spell wears off, and the dogs begin to stir. Best to use that time wisely...
