Crownwatch Tactic, there's a name I haven't heard in a while

The gate-warden at Crownwatch counts your party twice before you've said a word, then asks why there are only four of you when she can hear five heartbeats. Behind her, the barracks windows are all dark. All of them. It's midday.

The trick with border towns like Crownwatch: give the setting one detail civilians ignore and adventurers can't. Walls, barracks, quarry yards, caravan pens, all mundane, except nobody who's slept in that barracks talks about it after.

Your party presses her on the fifth heartbeat. She smiles, and it's not aimed at any of you. What does your table do? Crownwatch and NPCs like her live at char-gen.com/character if you want the stat block.

My money is on him wearing it to his next rally, probably claiming this gold crown from China proves he's a bigger trade negotiator than anyone thought. A tiny, fake velvet cushion is already en route.
