Penny's Dungeons and Dragons: Hard Bargains

She really tried to match her looks with what the guards touched, even if she had to re-cast her disguise multiple times. Thankfully, she did it for free from her pact... Letting them touch her was making her remaining nobility tremble and fret inside her heart and mind, but she tried to get it out of her system as the very possibility to be killed, and be dead finally turned up its reality.

Zeona's heart turned more sour at the sight of Gehenna being included, and it was enough to loose her own trembling and fear. While she did not love the Tiefling, now she had to think about more than her self and maybe the family name... But at least she looked like they thought she looked like, not really what was the truth. She tries to hiss to her entertainer "Take it like they paid for it already." without being too loud or obvious.

And she really had to find a passable Azara voice, because just her looks wouldn't be good enough for long enough. Then it is time...

"Lies! There is nobody to hear the truth?! Zeona Alsevir should get justice like the innocent noble she is! She is no commoner, and no Charr should have power over her unless she let them! I call you out, Naxara Charr, you are the betrayer, you are the enemy of Ossimar, killer of prince Kandik, and now, killing Azara too!" - and Zeona tries to modulate her voice to be passable for her nighttime visitors, while concentrating on her comely shape to put it on with the disguise spell - "But I would suffer for her, like she suffered for Kandik, her betrothed!"

If her looks did not got the matron to pause enough, she hoped that her words would spread questions and maybe some dissent. If nothing else, at lest there would be the lookalike of the supposed princess to be fucked in front of the crowd, and that kind of made the punishment worth it, before her death...

(again, some rolls in HVDRO)
 
Gehenna doesn't seem reassured by Zeona's advice, if she even hears it. She seems distracted, and Zeona has little opportunity to make herself heard to the tiefling without revealing herself to the crowd, let alone the nearby guards. She scarcely even has time to look at Gehenna before her head is forced back and her face forward.

The crowd's shouting changes abruptly as Zeona "reveals" herself. Most of the crowd glances nervously at those that had been shouting the loudest, and they, in turn look up at the crier on the stage. By now, Zeona has gleaned what's going on: the most bloodthirsty crowd members are almost certainly Naxara's agents, who have been instructed to set an example for the rest of the populace. This ensures the rest of the crowd knows the appropriate about of loyalty (i.e., absolute) to show to Naxara's cruel justice. It also means, however, that most of the crowd (and probably even the provocateurs) are only performatively calling for her death - they probably won't interfere in any escape attempts.

The crier, on the other hand, is probably genuine in his spittle-flinging intensity, but he doesn't know for sure how to react. He looks Zeona-as-Azara up and down, brow furrowed in malicious confusion, and then looks at Nazara.

Nazara blinks, but only a moment before her face twists in rage. "How dare you," she growls, her voice icily calm, then reaches for a wand. "Guards!"

Please roll initiative!
 
Zeona is a little slow to react, concentrating on her role and acting as a distraction. But she would have the Matron scream more soon enough. so, she strikes a pose. "Come on, mother, you can barely hold yourself back from killing me! You crave my young beauty, my body, and you can't have it, so you want to destroy it!" she was goading the woman, hoping that she lost not only her hair, but the tints seeped into her head, so she would at least want to hurt her... but maybe she was touching a nerve, and Nazara really wanted to fuck Azara, be the one taking the virginity and push the younger to pleasure... even if through pain, as the older Charr woman very possibly did not knew otherwise.

And there was a Hellish Rebuke ready to be unleashed if she damaged her at least a little.
