The sun is well past its zenith when you reach the walls of the town, Jess makes a beeline for the open gate manned by several guards. They are adorned in a similar manner to the Langlish freeblades you have encountered in the past, though arguably poorer in equipment and less lavish in their colours. The three guards seem bored, this appears to be a gate of lessor importance with little traffic. Still, one of them perks up at your approach even as he ignores your Fae archer. He swaggers into your path, cheap halberd resting on his shoulder.
<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-g">“Per l'amor del cazzo, Impelli.”</span></span> One of the guards sitting on a stool shakes his head.
<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-g">“Che cosa? È solo uno stupido straniero. Soldi facili.”</span></span>
<span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-i">“Hai visto la taglia del tuo stupido straniero?”</span></span> The stool guard rolls his eyes as the third guard standing beside him barks a harsh laugh. <span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-i">“Hai davvero bisogno di scegliere meglio i tuoi obiettivi.”</span></span>
You don’t catch the gist of what any of the guards are saying. But you do understand the milky-eyed halberdier in front of you is blocking the way.
<span class="mu-i">“Hey! You there! You want leave a town, yes?”</span> The only thing more atrocious than the man’s appalling collection of yellow teeth is his butchery of the Cantish language. <span class="mu-i">“So sorry, gates are be barred. There is… a fee…”</span>

Double Fail = Not exactly low profile.
0 = That really got out of hand. The situation escalates, badly. You are forced to pay a significant fine or come to blows.
1 = Easy mark. Your lack of any grasp on the language, customs or local laws puts you at a severe disadvantage in realising you are being had. -10 Sequins.
2 = Price of passage. You suspect that you are being scammed, but decide it’s not worth pressing the point beyond the matter of how much. -5 Sequins.
3 = Not one clipped copper from me. You brush aside the bald attempt at defrauding you and exit the town without paying a rubbish fee.
Double Pass = Noticed, but in a good way. +Favour bonus.
3 rolls of 1d100. You have TWO re-rolls.
