Quoted By:
At the gates of the Dionysian temple, you are promptly halted by a pair of two commoner guards – ingrates, don’t they realize who you are?
“Lord – none may pass while the priestesses are in convocation,” the left-most guard burbles happily. The right-most guard coughs nervously, before adding, “Their business is almost concluded, Lord – another hour, and devotees of Dionysus Φαλλην may enter.” The left-most guard suddenly recognizes you, blurting out “Lord Hippomedon – I did not recognize you unhelmed! But I am sorry – you may not pass until the priestesses have worked their business though.”
Your irritation builds. Killing these men and storming the temple is trivial…but they are well-meaning Argives, are they not?
>what to do, /qst/?
>Attempt to persuade the gate-guards to allow you entry – your authority supersedes whichever priestess delivered these orders.
>Directly intimidate the men – they certainly know that they cannot hope to keep you out, can they?
>Swallow your pride and wait the full hour by the temple gates. This may prompt harassment from your royal family in the future but is most likely to please your wife.
>Something else?
