The gunman stood up, his hands resting now on his twin handguns, and walked up to the barkeep.
"Esteemed barkeep," he said, in what he thought was a quiet and pious voice, "If my chronometer serves me right," he brandished a gnome-crafted device showing time, "Right about now I should be heading upstairs for an appointment with my shepherd of our Holy Mother the Church. Alas, the room number slipped out of my mind, woe unto my leaking memory. As such I would be grateful if you helped me out."

The goblin looked suspiciously at the gnomish-made device. "Wouldn't know anything about no inquisitor," he replied curtly. "Room thirteen, can't miss it," piped up another goblin, much to the evident annoyance of their colleague.
After a few moments Vagrin walked up to the counter nearby and waited patiently, not so much as glancing in Rob's direction, "I'd like ter... Ter order a room, fer one," the dwarf stated, patiently waiting for the barkeep to make his way over to him.

"Much obliged," Robert nodded at the eager goblin with a smile, heading upstairs.
'
Back down in the hall with the mug in my hand this seemed like a much better idea,
' he thought, taking a deep breath before knocking on the door thirteen.

The door remained closed, not a sound coming from the room beyond.
"Much 'preciated," Vagrin told the innkeeper, tucking the key he had acquired into his pocket. The dwarf walked slowly towards the stairs, not wanting to arrive upstairs too early and ruin Rob's plan.

"Okay then," Rob grumbled under his nose, looking around before brandishing a lockpick and beginning to try and break his way in - while at the same time staying ready for, for example, the door opening so as to punch the opener in the face.

After a few moments the door swung open, revealing what an apparently empty room.

"Really," Robert murmured, taking out a large bowie knife with a heavy lead pommel from his left boot. Slowly and carefully he stepped inside, closing the door behind him - while, of course, looking into the room.

From the corridor outside came the sound of approaching footsteps.

The gunman immediately pressed himself against the wall so as to have a perfect position to knock out the first person to come in - and then tried to identify the footsteps. Specifically, he struggled to hear whether they were like Vagrin's heavy boots.

A hooded figure appeared at the door, but did not step into the room properly, a large golden scythe held in one hand and two sword hilts jutting out from the stranger's cloak. The figure then proceeded to raise a hand and within moments the room was flooded with bright light, however judging by their head movements the stranger was still looking forward whatever it was that had broken into the room.

Robert, still obscured from view trying to move as soundlessly as possible, shielded his eyes with his knife hand while taking out a flashbang with the other.
'
Come on,
' he thought, raising his hand ever so slightly to take a peek out of the corner of his eyes, '
Come forth, even.

The figure changed their grip upon the scythe, now holding it firmly in two hands, before swiftly advancing into the room.

Maybe he only kills innocent orcs, not humans. Maybe he's more reasonable than Vagrin thinks.
If not, I'm very thoroughly screwed.
'
Robert dropped the knife and the flashbang, saying clearly, "Forgive me, padre, for I have sinned."

"Padre? You are mistaken, I am an inquisitor," the figure replied in an unnaturally hollow tone, turning to face Rob. From somewhere within the inquisitor's hood two eyes regarded the intruder coldly and the scythe remained poised."Now explain to me why it is you broke into my quarters," the voice commanded, but with less menace behind it.

"To talk," Robert replied, trying not to sound too hasty. "My matter is rather urgent, you see. I do apologize for this," he prodded the knife with his boot, "I was fearful, until I realized that I should try and reasonably talk to you, rather than assume you would have scythed me where I stand."

The inquisitor walked a few steps closer, "perhaps it would have been better for you if you had," they said, a hint of both malice and amusement now present in their tone. "You have exactly five seconds to tell me why I should let you live."

"Because I am a fellow worshiper of the Holy Light, trying not to sin too much, and a human to boot, so there is absolutely no reason for you to kill me, since all those stories they tell about the Inquisition are lies and slander of fearful folk?" Robert ventured.
'
Honesty is the best policy my ass.

The inquisitor stared silently at Rob for a few moments, evidently dissatisfied with his answer, "you still have not answered my question," they said calmly, starting to raise their scythe.

"Right, since I'm already neck deep in trouble, you do know about the big artifact hunt going on in the world right now?" Robert sputtered.

"What do you know of it?" the inquisitor demanded, the edge of the scythe now pressed up against Rob's throat.
