6-1 puts initiative firmly with you, and it is another refresh round!
So as it happens, Rand used Guidance to cross last turn! This gives him an action in-hand.
Rah is over- but no luck with his Observation roll; likewise Galder.
Xavier is looking wobbly on the rope!
Much trog-o-cide all around...

Ok can i please rub my eyes furiously to make my eyes red as though I have been cryingand am clearly a distressed pregnant lady.
"Please let me through. I have to find my son - he's delivering a petition today. The tax collectors have arrested my husband and made us homeless. I have to find my son"
I'm trying to sound as distressed and irrational as possible!
Alright, Edna, you are through! The crowd isn't QUITE nutso enough yet to deny a crying woman looking for her daughter (even the more cynical sympathise with you as they assume that you need to find her to claim your tax rebate as a parent).
This gets you through to the head of the queue without being crowd-stomped, which leaves the guards. They would be less moved by your story, but you shortcut that with your request to use Persuade earlier., A wave of your hand, an expenditure of a force point, and they let you through...

Which leaves you inside the mighty palace! Now, you have two choices- go to the upper throne room as a visitor, or sneak around like a thief.
