>>5123527>>5123529>>5123597It seems to be working. Maybe it is your vulnerable, womanly figure in the luxurious spa bathrobe. It could be the high heels. But somehow a cheap plastic identification card with unconvincing bureaucratic insignia and logos appears to have utterly convinced The Squeaky Guard, despite your bizarre bathrobe and heels attire. He nods enthusiastically and waves you onwards.
(The Security Guards have seen your face)
The Brutal Guard is a bit more sceptical - he is however staring at your seductive high-heeled shoes, which are fairly expensive. (
>>5122588 ) And agreeing with his earlier Titanic comments has placated this security guard and put him in a good mood. He nods at you slowly - he seems to be concluding that you must have headed off into the spa to relax briefly, and that you have just emerged to change. He says:
You should stay in your room, Ma'am. We had some reports there are some intruders around - from the protests outside that have broken in. We are checking the situation now.
The Brutal Guard and the Squeaky Guard with the high-pitched voice disappear together down the stairs into the hydrotherapy spa, descending cheerfully to check on their (now-deceased) colleague.
The remaining Intelligent Guard is now standing before you alone. He is attired in riot gear and carries a USP chambered in .45 ACP (

You have a feeling that his gun is most definitely not loaded with blank ammunition.
The Intelligent Guard is looking at you with rapidly increasing suspicion:
You are an internal auditor? Which floor are you from? I have not seen you here before. Don't you guys only come down here fiscal quarter end? Which division did you say you were from? And what is that object in your pocket there...? (He is looking at the bulging pocket where you are carrying your own, empty handgun)
>1/ Burn Major Arcana 14 XIV: TEMPERANCE ( >>5121981 ) Perhaps fate will intervene?>2/ Whip out the concealed Riot Baton and try and knock him out (the guard will be surprised. You can probably get a few hits in. Pray that the baton impact hits somewhere sensitive, not protected by his riot armour. Commence fight, roll 1d78, total success if you roll WANDS=18%probability. You can use this in combination with option 1/ above and try and improve your chances, succeed on WANDS or major arcana = 46% probability.)>3/ Just run away. The elevator is right there. Maybe see if it really is quite difficult for a security guard in full riot armour to run after and catch up with you?>4/ Write in and try and persuade this guard further. (You feel like this might be nearly impossible)>5/ Something else?
