Who are you? Guards! Guards!
Really?
We finally snuck our way into the palace to see the king and this is what happens?
What did you do that for?
He was gonna call for the guards.
I had to do something.
What, so you caved his face in with your fist?
I panicked.
Bad things happen when I panic.
Maybe I can just pop it back out again if I give it a squeeze.
*Someone knocks on the door*
- Your majesty? - *Gasp*
Is everything alright in there?
*Someone knocks again*
The advisor knocks again, more urgently this time.
What would you like to do?
Y-yes, this is His Royal Majesty King Jerald speaking.
How can I help?
You can roll Deception.
*Deception Check*
I apologise. I wasn't aware you were expecting guests this morning.
It's so good to see you making new friends instead of just beheading everyone.
But Your Highness, you sound different somehow...
Less high-pitched than usual.
Uh, it's-- It's a sore throat! Something going around.
Yes, I caught it this morning. Cough. Cough.
Cough. Cough. Really?
You can roll Deception too.
*Deception Check*
A sore throat, huh? There is something going around.
It must be quite serious. Let me come in and examine you.
No-no! It might be contagious. I wouldn't want you to get sick.
It's not serious. It's not like the king's going to die of the plague or something.
I've never seen a man more alive.
I'm alive!
- He's alive?! - He's alive?!
No he's not! He's dead!
- He's dead?! - He's dead?!
Yeah-- No! Uh, I mean yes!
I'm dead.
- That's it! I'm coming in! - No!
*Laughs in Deception*
Good one Your Majesty!
That was so funny!
Ahaha-- I don't get it.
*Deception Check*
Hahaha! Your Majesty, you are killing me.
Woah! Who said anything about killing?
I would never kill a man, especially not while he's enjoying his breakfast.
*Deception Check*
That would be ridiculous, wouldn't it?
But Your Majesty, why is your face covered in blood?
Oh! It's just jam. From the strawberry tarts that we've been eating.
Oh Your Majesty, you are so clumsy! Here...
*Deception Check*
*Chuckles* Strawberry always was his favourite.
What do you mean was?
Old Jerald could never get enough.
You must try some!
It's... Delicious.
*Deception Check*
Mmm. It *is* delicious.
Forgive the intrusion, sire. I'll leave you to your fruity desserts.
I have no idea how you talked your way out of that. You have the charisma of a rock.
It was surprisingly easy.
The trick is to just roll really well every time.
Oh yeah, why didn't I think of that?
You mean like this?
Oh. There was just one more thing-- *gasp*
Oh no! He's had a heart attack!
*Deception Check*
Guards! These ruffians have killed the king!
I think you'll find we didn't kill the king!
*Deception Check*
Guards! These ruffians did not kill the king.
- But who did? - You did!
These tarts were poisoned!
No, not the one you're eating. The one he was eating.
*Deception Check*
What have I done?!
This isn't even the king's advisor.
He's an imposter!
*Deception Check*
And I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling adventurers!
And this isn't even the king! It's the king's double.
I knew he looked different from his picture!
If he's the king's double who's the real king?
I am.
*Deception Check*
- You dropped this, king. - Your Majesty.
Guards. Arrest this man.
Honestly I'm not mad.
I'm just disappointed.
See? It's that easy.
Long live the king! Long live the king! Long live the king!
Delicious.
