[IC] New Crobuzon & the World Beyond

[Betimi]

"Hmm?"  Selina gently turns and cranes her head up a little to give Tomeal her attention, even as she still has a look around.  She notices him gesturing with his chin and brushes it with her lips as her eyes glance over that way.  "Hmm...I see.  Suspicious people she failed to mention, perhaps?  Or something altogether new.  I wonder..."  She ponders it for a few moments before shrugging in a seemingly noncommittal manner.  "We can bide our time.  Now that we know they are there, we do not have to react immediately, and can be prepared for them."  She will, however, turn to Betimi (her closest other confidante besides Tomeal and a valued ally who has been with her the longest) and tilts her head, as if curious about what her friend is looking at and turn that way in order to lean a little bit closer and whisper out of the corner of her mouth "We are not alone and are being watched."

[OoC: Everyone who it informed of the humanoids can make another spot check at +5 to see if their eyes can pinpoint where the humanoids are hiding and possibly gain additional information, if you roll high enough.]

Tomeal Spot: [1d20+11]=12+11=23, Simon spot: [1d20+16]=6+16=22; I will wait to reveal any additional information when at least 1 PC makes another spot check.

Tomeal suddenly remembers he's no mere warrior anymore.  He doesn't look directly toward the humanoid's position but keeps them within his 60' cone of evil detection.  [This round]  He concentrates on their aura and for the first time since becoming a Paladin he detects evil.  Part of him is elated that it actually worked!  But then [2nd Round]  he senses two aura's of evil emanating from the humanoids.  Which was what he detected with his Spot check.

"I sense two auras of evil," Tomeal whispers.  [He will know next round the strength of that evil.]
