During the search of entire Cartel territory in Under Sigil, the Harmonium also enter the Serpent's Gaze "We have a search warrant and everyone are to exit the premises for the time of search. Please step outside and join rest of the civilians, you will be allowed to get back to your business after the search is over."

If the Harmonium is unopposed; they'd be on look out for any fiend-blooded people among the people inside and leaving the Serpents Gaze. They are also on look out for all the documentation of the bar, checking the place for hidden caches by knocking surfaces for hollow points and true seeing for illusionary or shapechanged things.

Kreeyzia is resentful, clearly disliking the presence of what she apparantly calls "beetles". Her green haired assistant clumsily interprets the woman's deliberately cryptic accusations and insults, telling the authorities that they only have this right because they gave it to themselves. Life must be so easy when you can simply grant yourself all that you desire...

The Harmonium are allowed to enter, Kree expressing the distinct suspicion that they would gladly destroy her establishment in their "search" if given any reason to be forceful. Bugs gnaw at the petals of her paradise flower and aren't welcome but flowers have no teeth with which to crush the vermin.

Among the gathered are many customers, displeased at the interruptions. A good fifth of which are in varying states of undress. There are plenty of fiendbloods to spare, some more well bred than others, barbed tails swaying menacingly.

Documentation is plentiful and surprisngly, legible. It details the names and preferences of a large number of customers, income and expenses, projects to expand and would likely be a goldmine for sinister people out to ruin the reputations of certain upstanding members of various factions.

There are no hidden chaches to be found, the building being constucted for aestetics over any kind of secrecy. The only illusions present are colourful lights and the domed ceiling of the performance hall displaying a breathtaking starry night sky. True seeing reveals the awkwardness of two portly, middle aged businessmen having shapeshifted into young women and unknowingly seduced each other.

"No, we have this authority to ensure safety of citizen of Sigil because of her Serenity, and we have this authority to search the place because of the Fraternity of Order whom also are placed in the position by her Serenity." states one of the Hardheads.

He gestures two of the Hardheads to stay by the entrance and divide the people inside the establishment in a manner that those whom seem to be only mildly fiend-blooded are still to remain, tieflings to be more precise, those that seem to be possess more or less fiend blood are moved outside... even the two awkwardly revealed men. A trio of Hardheads gets their helmets knocked with a single slap by other Hardhead when they seemed to get too excited about their "work". "Focus." though they seem generally unphased by the disgruntled voicing of opinions by the clients, probably something they had been mostly expecting to begin with.

The procedure of the Hardheads seems to be methodical sweep from one end to another, though most furnitures and objects gets moved at least a little bit of their original positions, the place otherwise is kept in-tact. The documentation seems to get quickly confiscated for further investigation.

After the tieflings are set aside, one of the Harmonium comes to question them "Which of you is the oracle? Hm?" he looks from one to another.

From other parts the investigation within the Serpents Gaze seems to have ended.

A particularly buxom tiefer in a red red dress steps forth, grinning. Her tail coils with mischief as she draws close to the peacekeeper.

"I can't tell ya futures an' tha' like but I'll grant ya a vision o' paradise..."

Among those herded out, stands the young fey-like girl with a sour expression on her lips. Her attire more covering then most others. She is looking and waiting, giving off an annoyed sigh now and then.

"How long will this thing take?" She mutters to another girl, who'd just shrug, not giving a real answer.

Then for some reason she would approach one of the hardheads and tap him for attention "So.. come here often?"

Seeing as how the Harmonium searched the entire premises, it wouldn't take long for them to find the Oracle sitting in one of the Gaze's more permanent rooms. When they do enter, the searchers would notice that she is currently asleep on the bed, wearing the appearance of a common tiefer. After some prodding she awakes and rubs the sleepiness from her eyes..

"Oh yes, i actually forgot about this" She rises off the bed and stands in the middle of the little adorned room and sweeps her hand over the room "You can search it".

"Alright, you're not her, you can join the others outside now." he gestures other Harmonium to assist the said tiefling outside.

"The faster we get the matter solved, the faster you get to return to your daily matters." this Hardhead appears rather reserved so under assumption that she seeks on Hardhead that seem to be weaker willed, whom once tapped turns to ogle at the fey-like girl, and especially the other females in less clothing "Oh I um..." only to get interrupted by the seeming Hardhead in charge of the Serpents Gaze search "Notary Harrels, report outside, now. We don't need distractions now."

"Ye the oracle gall we're looking fer?" questions the Hardhead that prodded her awake. "If ye're the one, then ye're coming with us to protective custody, if ye ain't, then ye're to join rest of the bashers outside until end of search."

The red clad one gives a mock expression of dejection and returns to her colleuges, rolling her eyes at the "soddin' beetles", arms crossed.
A duergar in a very wide brimmed hat and a colourful shirt throws his stubby hand in the air for attention.

"Oi! Listen up ye hag tit drinking halfwits! Yer lot interrupted me perfectly... er... perfect game here. Was about tae win, just one throw of tha dice away from fortune and ye ruined it!"

He shakes an angry, accusing finger at the most important looking hardhead.

"I'm telling ye now, ye owe me and donnae ferget this. I aught tae sue ye fer interfering wit me business! There's nary a thing in the planes tae keep a proper duergar from his rightful gains and I'll have me satisfaction, ye hear me!"

The oracle eyes that have no iris goes wide in a slight surprise but she quickly collects herself. She stands behind on of the hardheads and gives a nod, letting them know she is ready to leave.

"Great, come wit' us then." the Hardhead raises his volume "We found her!" she is instructed to pack her things and then guided by two Hardheads to wait outside the inn until rest of the search is over.

"You can file a complaint to the Harmonium and the department will oversee whether it is Harmonium matter or not from legal stand point. All the players are still within the terrain, you can simply initiate the game again, although we'll see if they use their brain-boxes to sum up what you just said and decide based upon it." as the search reaches towards the end of it

"Stand by for one last check, after this you will be allowed back to your business. We will inspect every person and the possessions they carry to ensure no evidences are attempted to be hidden within pockets, bags or other locations." the Harmonium would then start to pat search them, any paper-y sounds or hard objects causes them to request them to show what they are carrying, personal items and secret things are checked briefly, however the owner wishes are respected to extend that the contents are checked privately and returned in same condition.

The quantity of females in their lingeries are mostly left alone, although couple "serious" thought filled glances are casted at them too, only to get their superior to shove them back to work soon after daydreaming.

At the end, a pile of Harmonium complaint forms are left at the desk and the Harmonium leaves the premises.
