7:28pm 2018-1-31 Smon Has entered the room
Smon: Hi Jorian
Smon: Just got Bill's PC levelled up
joriandrake: hello
joriandrake: editing my char sheet to include things like (conc) (bon)(8h) modifier for spells
joriandrake: nice
Smon: good work
Smon: last Prisha session - http://smons.blogspot.co.uk/2018/01/14-15747-babes-in-vale.html
joriandrake: I should ask, if we get into a battle how likely is the npc girls get dragged into it/die?
joriandrake: or will they be left behind?
joriandrake: i consider 'boosting them' with Aid
joriandrake: as far I know the group will be pretty mixed with Bill, Prisha, Sandor, and the girls as far levels/hp goes
Smon: I would guess they'd typically not be targetted if not fighting
Smon: But it varies by opponent
Smon: Undead might go for nearest warm body
Smon: Predators want easy meat
joriandrake: ok, well plus x hp should be useful for them, what is Bill's char level now?
Smon: 8
joriandrake: ok, so it will be fine if I just use an Aid on the girls
Smon: ok
7:34pm 2018-1-31 DESTROYERBILL Has entered the room
joriandrake: I wish to add a note to my char sheet for Prisha about the power of mind reading/suggestion there
DESTROYERBILL: hello
Smon: Hi Bill
joriandrake: SO I wont forget, would those abilities if succeeded not reveal they got manipulated after it? Not know of it, or know right away about it?
joriandrake: hi bill!
DESTROYERBILL: hi
Smon: 15/7/47: Late afternoon - Prisha and co on the road, reach crossroads. Sandor Maglor & the amazons bid them farewell and head on to Highhaven while Prisha & her girls head to Carchimish.
Smon: Slow going, Delanie has sore feet in her new boots. After an uncomfortable night's camp in some old ruins they continue west, reaching the town of Carchimish mid-afternoon 16/7.
joriandrake: "I guess we're on our own then. We should seek out the new king and the mayor, if the town has one. Have some rest"
joriandrake: Prisha tells the other girls
Smon: The gate guard goggles somewhat at the glamorous four, but directs them to an Inn across the market square from the royal palace in the middle of town.
joriandrake: "Probably best to find an inn first" She ponders
joriandrake: With a smile and nod Prisha thanks for the guard's help.
Smon: "Try the Harper's Cauldron ladies"
joriandrake: "Thank you vey much. May Meroya grant you happiness."
Smon: "Rado d'Sewer runs it, nice young fellow, he'll see you right."
Smon: The guard beams happily at the blessing.
Smon: Carchimish map - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-EA_iI4LKdE0nCQNYvGw5r9F23XVk1ba0lThIhrNlnAWAB2_D5MFDCvN5IqOYtwwNN-KIkUc-GvLU-ep-z4_4tGLYrq-RoQx3JZMw4h9UnKcER6msp-5dOUqdJ-dkYFs2gTyHQHYdFck/s1600/Carchimish.jpg
joriandrake: Prisha and the girls continue on their way to the Inn. Taking in the sights on the way.
Smon: Heading west from the East Gate, Prisha & co soon reach the town square north of the extensive royal palace.
Smon: Carchimish has clearly seen better days, with many abandoned buildings, though some sign of rebuilding.
Smon: Roll DC 8 WIS+Prof Survival Prisha
Smon: d20+wis+3
joriandrake: Prisha closes her eyes murmurring a soft prayer
joriandrake: ok
joriandrake rolls 1d30+6 and gets: 8 (+6) = 14
joriandrake: ignore
joriandrake: ((typo))
joriandrake rolls 1d20+6 and gets: 11, (+6) = 17
Smon: Prisha locates the right inn and enters the dim-lit recesses; Delanie Esmalia & Mealia following.
Smon: GM: The inn is a two-storey timber and brick building, with a gray tile roof. Accomodations consist of several large rooms with beds and straw mattresses and several hammocks in the common room.
joriandrake: She looks around, seearching for the innkeeper or a maid
Smon: A well dressed young man serves at the bar, while a buxom blonde serving wench is serving a late lunch or early dinner to two middle aged matrons, merchants' wives perhaps.
Smon: At the bar sit a priest of Mitra and a half-elven scholar deep in animated conversation.
DESTROYERBILL: heelooo
joriandrake: Prisha goes and greets the young man or serving wench (depending on which seems occupied less)
joriandrake: "Hello, we would like to rent out a room and get a meal as well."
Smon: Strumming a mandolin idly by the cold fireplace is a bard type, pleasant in appearance, with tangled black hair and dark amber eyes. He wears modest garments and a red dragonscale cloak.
Smon: In one corner sits a trio, two big Altanian warriors and a dark-haired, dark-eyed man in midnight black.
Smon: From the corner Nightshadow sees the gaggle of beautiful women come in.
joriandrake: As she waits Prisha takes a closer look at the other guests, the musician, ect.
DESTROYERBILL: boys go on
Smon: The youngest among them, one of two half elves, apparently the leader. She looks around, eyes settling on the innkeep Rado.
Smon: The dark man - Nightshadow to Prisha: "Heeelooo"
Smon: The Innkeep looks up smiling: "Hello ladies! How can I help you?"
joriandrake: Prisha nods with a flash of smile at the man and turns to the innkeep "I would like to take a room for me and my sisters. I hope you have one free."
Smon: "Of course milady! A room with two beds, little cosy but I'm sure you can all fit in." He smiles.
joriandrake: ooc a sec I got called over
DESTROYERBILL: yoll dont look like sisters
Smon: A gorgeous & very shapely blonde behind Prisha smiles a little uncertainly at Nightshadow. "We're not..."
joriandrake: ooc back
Smon: She takes a step forward. "I'm Delanie." She has a farmer's accent.
Smon: A slim half elf girl regards Nightshadow & co more coolly. "And I'm Mealia. We're up from Capricia."
joriandrake: "Indeed" Prisha smiles. "We will all fit in, and can just puch t he beds together if needed." Then Prisha turns to Nightshadow
joriandrake: "Greetings!" She smiles "We're sisters in faith. That is what I meant."
Smon: The last one, a shapely brunette, bows sligthtly: "And I'm Esmalia. We serve Lady Prisha and the Goddess, Meroya."
Smon: NS has never heard of this Meroya.
DESTROYERBILL: okay i guess
Smon: Prisha's clothes are strange & exotic.
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 14, (+4) = 18
joriandrake: Prisha turns back to discuss the room with the innkeep and pay upfront
Smon: NS recognises her by her dusky skin & clothes as from faraway Karak.
Smon: (like India)
joriandrake: "For one night please, we might later make it longer."
Smon: The Innkeep nods. "Certainly! I'll have the maid ready your room. With board, that will be two gold please."
Smon: The Carchimishi matrons regard Prisha & her girls disapprovingly.
joriandrake: "Do you wish to eat now, before we go to the room, or rather get comfy before a meal?" Prisha asks her fellow travellers as she picks out two coins from her purse hidden in the sash and pays
Smon: The men in the taproom seem a lot more approving.
Smon: Delanie: "Let's freshen up first!"
Smon: Esmalia: "I am hungry though - I could eat a Shagpa!"
Smon: She giggles.
joriandrake: Without blinking Prisha turns at the women who look most obviously and smiles brightly with a small bow at them "Greetings, may you all find happiness and good health"
Smon: Roll Persuasion CHA+Prof Prisha
joriandrake: Then turns to Esmalia "Let us leave our gear in the room and freshen up a bit, then we come down and eat without the burden."
joriandrake rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 7, (+7) = 14
Smon: The matrons - one has a narrow face, with silver hair and amber eyes. She wears fine raiment and jewelry.
Smon: The other is short and very overweight, with greying curly red hair and blue eyes. She wears modest garments.
Smon: Why +7 jorian, Bill asks?
Smon: +3 prof +3 cha?
joriandrake: +3 proficiency +4 cha
Smon: ok, I thought was still 16?
joriandrake: Prisha, noticing the ladies assumes them to be wealthy merchants or nobles and as such smiles at them with a little courtsy
joriandrake: ooc: WIS is 16, CHA is 18
Smon: >>smiles brightly with a small bow at them "Greetings, may you all find happiness and good health"<< The women give Prisha rather tight smiles in return.
Smon: ok thx
joriandrake: ooc: has to look/have aura of someone who led a cult and such
Smon: agreed
joriandrake: ooc: so for roleplay reason didn't increase the WIS instead picked CHA
Smon: The buxom blonde barmaid leads Prisha & co upstairs to a clean and well appointed room. "I'm Euma, here to serve my ladies - you need anything just ask!" she smiles.
Smon: Downstairs the merchant women are discussing something in lowered voices.
Smon: NS makes out their names are Marget & Igwa,
Smon: something about a lost treasure in the swamps west of town.
joriandrake: "Thank you, we don't need anything right now Euma. If you wish to talk to us later I would be delighted. YOu are likely to know this town well and answer some of our questions with great knowledge. First we get ready and go down for a meal though."
joriandrake: Prisha whispers then to mealia "Can you hear what they talk about?"
joriandrake: and tries herself to hear a bit of it
Smon: Igwa: "But Marget, who can I trust to recover the treasure? This town is a hive of villainy!"
Smon: GM: Prisha & co freshen up then come downstairs for their dinner.
Smon: Euma brings them plates of stew & turnip, with wine.
joriandrake: We sit near the two (Nightshadow+ ?) if allowed
Smon: A few more local tradesmen have come in, and the Bard starts strumming a tune about brave Lord Bronze & Prince Sandor awakening the dragon, Dyson Logos.
joriandrake: "May we join you?"
DESTROYERBILL: okay
Smon: Delanie: "Prince Sandor! We met him! He's a king now!"
Smon: Delanie beams in delight.
DESTROYERBILL: why is he a king?
Smon: The four ladies sit with the three men at a now crowded table.
joriandrake: "Psst Delanie, you shouldn't speak so loudly about our friends" Prisha answers but does so to not speak tooo quietly
Smon: Delanie: "Hakeem has made him King of Carch..." she trails off at Prisha's warning.
DESTROYERBILL: come on tell me why
DESTROYERBILL: finnesh it
Smon: Mealia looks at Delanie and rolls her eyes.
Smon: Delanie looks at NS and gulps, glancing at Prisha. "Um..."
joriandrake: "We don't know anyone here yet Delanie, and we need to know who could be helpful and trustful, anyone could be a villain as we're not locals to know"
joriandrake: then smiles at the girls
Smon: GM: Is Prisha whispering that?
joriandrake: ((obviously meant for others rather))
joriandrake: nope
joriandrake: Doesn't shout it however
Smon: GM: With his Passive Per of 18, NS can certainly hear Prisha's words.
Smon: One of the big Altanians grins lustily at Delanie. "You can trust US, babe!"
Smon: "I'm Ironfist, that one's Ironhead, and our boss is the Man in Black... We're right good sorts!"
Smon: Ironhead drinks a flagon of mead.
joriandrake: Then she turns to Nightshadow. "Sorry, we just discussed whom we met on our journeys. We're here to discuss the possibiliy to help the locals and open a temple of healing and love. We heard a lot of ill happened recently and might use some divine aid."
DESTROYERBILL: im night shadow
Smon: Ironfist nods: "Aye, Carchimish is a bit of a dump."
DESTROYERBILL: i can help you get a temple if you help me dear just tell me what you talkin about
joriandrake: Prisha also smiles and nods a bit at the words of Ironfist then introduces herself to NS: "I'M Prisha, a Priestess of Meroya. I'm from Popolva."
Smon: NS has heard of Popolva, the great capital city of Karak.
joriandrake: "it's quite the distance from here, so many never heard of it."
Smon: Rado d'Sewer the innkeep comes over, nose twitching slightly. "Everything good, ladies and gentlemen? Can I get you anything?"
DESTROYERBILL: your a were rat
DESTROYERBILL: i whispe
joriandrake: Prisha takes a bite to taste, and answers more or les honestly, saying it's a bit better than actually it is
DESTROYERBILL: r
Smon: NS sees the nose and the mystery he's been researching is solved!
joriandrake: Then blinks at the comment of NS.
Smon: Rado pales. "You are mistaken, sir! I am no rat!"
Smon: He takes a step back.
DESTROYERBILL: i know your little secret
joriandrake: "The Ratatouille is superb"
DESTROYERBILL: i wont tell if you give me somthing
Smon: "No... no. I swear it!"
DESTROYERBILL: i know it to be true dont worry
Smon: Rado looks very pale. "We should speak in private."
DESTROYERBILL: im a old freind of your mother
joriandrake: Prisha comments innocently
Smon: Rado leans heavily on a chair back, looking faint.
Smon: He staggers towards a back room, beckoning NS to follow.
joriandrake: She then smiles at the man "Let us finish the meal, it will be for free, and we all go to our room to talk"
DESTROYERBILL: ill come along
joriandrake: She raises an eyebrow as a question to NS if it would be fine with him, her suggestion
Smon: GM: NS joins Rado in the back store room.
DESTROYERBILL: no no dont come stay with my boys comfert them
Smon: Great wheels of cheese on the racks.
Smon: Ironhead: "Yeah, we could do with some comfortin'!"
joriandrake: "Well, shall we join them? We heard everything, after all." Then Prisha hears the answer and nods. She looks at the reaction of the other girls, and the patrons
Smon: Ironfist grins and pulls Delanie onto his lap - she gives a squeak but doesn't seem to off put.
Smon: NS looks about 50, ca 30 years older than young Rado.
Smon: OOC NS whispered to Rado
8:21pm 2018-1-31 Sandor Sunneson Has entered the room
Smon: DESTROYERBILL: your a were rat DESTROYERBILL: i whispe
joriandrake: As long she's fine with it Prisha won't mind but watches a bit worried. She whispers a few words then and casts a spell if it isn't obvious. (Eagleâs Splendor)
joriandrake: ooc hi

Sandor Sunneson: At mates house and he has a couple of work calls to do
Sandor Sunneson: ok
Smon: GM: NS gets Rado alone.
Sandor Sunneson: Hi Jorian
joriandrake: Prisha then talks to Rado, trying to get him friendly and open to questions, perhaps acting as guards/escort in town (wanting to cut down RP talk due to rushing for Sandor's benefit)
DESTROYERBILL: i rember seeing you as a young child you were a good kid
joriandrake: Prisha Pers with advantage
DESTROYERBILL: to young to talk walk or even remember
joriandrake Rolls 1d20+7x2 and gets:

Smon: She can charm NS's henchmen if you like
joriandrake: I meant the guy might name be mixed up
joriandrake: ironfist
joriandrake: "You seem like a nice enough fellow, care to give us some directions, maybe some protection for me and my sisters? Delanie seems to like you too."
Smon: Ironfist: "Sure thing lady! We'll show you ALL a great time!" He guffaws, arm round Delanie. Ironhead follows his lead and scoops Esmalia up likewise.
Smon: Ironhead nods enthusiastically. "Protection is my middle name!"
Smon: OOC lemme do NS now
joriandrake: "Just be gentle with them, and listen to their requests." Prisha eyes the man but smiles
joriandrake: ooc ok
joriandrake: ooc have fun doing him
DESTROYERBILL: ther are two of them
joriandrake: ooc Sandor: you at a library now?
Smon: Rado looks puzzled at NS. "I've seen you around... You're renting that villa with the pretty merchant girl? Miss Goodkind?"
DESTROYERBILL: yes
Smon: "You're from Carchimish? Before the Brigands?"
DESTROYERBILL: yes
Sandor Sunneson: ok
Sandor Sunneson: At mates house and he has a couple of work calls to do

Smon: "But I'm NOT a wererat! I swear it!"
Smon: "My mother, yes! And she infected the others... But not me! My blood is pure!"
Smon: His nose twitches.

DESTROYERBILL: cool
joriandrake: ooc: I mean Prisha is sorry o.O
DESTROYERBILL: no i think you were right the first time
Smon: Outside in the bar: "Just be gentle with them, and listen to their requests." Prisha eyes the man but smiles. << Ironhead & Ironfist shrug and nod, not paying too much attention to Prisha as they canoodle the girls.
Smon: GM: Rado and NS head back outside; NS & co's food is on the house.
Smon: NS sit back down with the others, his men now canoodling the two more buxom of the strange ladies.
joriandrake: Prisha checks the faces of her 'sisters', how they react.

Smon: "I, er... sorry." says Rado to Prisha.

Smon: Rado: "My Inn is a little pricy, but it's safe and clean."

Smon: Nightshadow & Prisha you are in the town square crowd when a mighty Skandik prince in rich ermine robe and his honour guard of eight fierce amazons enter.
joriandrake: Prisha hearing of the whole 'amazon attack' goes out to see what happens and smiles as she notices Sandor
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will look around in anticipation
Smon: On the south side of the square the Royal Palace looms.
Smon: Looking around Sandor sees Prisha in the crowd.
joriandrake: Orisha tries to wave at Sandor on tiptoe
joriandrake: P*
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will acknowledge her with a nod
Smon: Beside Sandor, Griffon Knight Kalindra glares fiercely at the Carchimishi.

Smon: "By King Koloth's com... by his command, all females who enter the Palace must disrobe. Fully."
Sandor Sunneson: He will shake him by the hand, hello Sir Baltek, the Ladies will be fine, it is a tense situation for you both. Nothing untoward is going to happen,
Smon: Kalindra glares at Baltek.
joriandrake: ooc: whenever the time seems right Prisha will seek out Sandor to ask how things fare and why he's here
Smon: Behind her a blonde amazon, Kaijara, glares even more fiercely. Not that they are wearing much to start with...
Smon: Baltek: "If your amazons need lodging, that inn across the square is good."
Sandor Sunneson: Ladies, please disrobe,
DESTROYERBILL: i shout your not in the palace yet
Smon: The amazons nod and remove their loincloths, any halter tops, and boots before the cheering crowd.
Sandor Sunneson: I look forward to meeting Koloth Baltek
Smon: But keep their swords & weapon belts.
Smon: Baltek nods. "You are all welcome. Please come in."

Smon: Prisha sees NS's ineffectual stealth effort.
DESTROYERBILL: ill show 10 gp to each of them
Smon: So do quite a few in the crowd, who laugh.
Smon: They laugh more.
joriandrake: Prisha gets closer and whispers "What exactly are you trying to do?"
Smon: Guard: "Eager to see more of those amazons eh friend?!"
Sandor Sunneson: he will allow Prisha to join his party
Smon: They chuckle good naturedly.
Smon: Sandor pauses & waves Prisha in?

Smon: NS roll Deception DC 12
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+11 and gets: 18, (+11) = 29
joriandrake: as everyone is occupied with NS Prisha hugs Sandor -if allowed- as when they last time parted ways
joriandrake: "Glad to see you well."
Smon: NS gets in this time on Prisha's coat tails.
Sandor Sunneson: Good to see you Prisha, all will become clear soon enough
Smon: The young priestess hugs Sandor in the shadows of the gatehouse.
DESTROYERBILL: i say to the guards whos laughfing now
DESTROYERBILL: ha
joriandrake: She nods "Yes, right now a lot of things seem ... unclear"
Smon: "We didn't know you were with the Prince, sir. Sorry."
DESTROYERBILL: yeah think before you act
Sandor Sunneson: A nice city you have hear Baltek
Smon: LOL
joriandrake: Prisha takes a glimpse at NS but says nothing, sure that if this is not to the wish of Sandor he wil lact anyway.
Sandor Sunneson: he will make conversation with the old warrior
Sandor Sunneson: as they walk in
Smon: NIghtshadow is a stout dignified older fellow all in black.
Smon: GM: The guards escort you all through the Palace to the Great Hall, where a couple dozen courtiers are before twin raised thrones.
Smon: One throne is occupied, an old man, crowned, looks down at you.
Smon: Almost all in the hall are armed warriors, veterans.
Smon: One near the throne is a sturdy dwarf.
Smon: King Koloth looks frail, but his eyes still gleam brightly.
Sandor Sunneson: Good Day Koloth, he will bow in front of him
joriandrake: If the commotion still goes on Prisha whispers Sandor "We didn't have the time yet to ask por the permission to build a temple, I assume you're being here with an escort isn't the best situation. Can I help you somehow?"
joriandrake: Prisha also bows
joriandrake: ((ooc typed slowly sorry))
Smon: There are three women in the hall - two naked blondes among the courtiers (Summatta & Rosaria?) and a strange exotic looking slave girl with fey eyes at the foot of Koloth's throne.
DESTROYERBILL: i bow and fall over on purpose
Smon: The slave girl's eyes seem to bore into your soul...
Sandor Sunneson: You know why I am here, this area has seen much trouble with the fighting against the Dark Sun, but hopefully better times are ahead for everyone
joriandrake: ooc: Does Prisha recognize her origin, considering theirs are somewhat close?
Smon: With a slight shock Prisha sees the slave girl is of Minkai, a far island beyond even Popolva.
Smon: (ie Japan analogue)
Smon: ooc hold on
joriandrake: ((yep ÃI know, I almsot made a character from there))
joriandrake: Prisha tries to hide her reaction, but makes a small clumsy attempt to bow in 'japanese' form towards the girl
joriandrake: ((as part of the actual bow to the 'king'))
Smon: Prisha roll CHA
Smon: NS falls over
joriandrake rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 15, (+4) = 19
Smon: The courtiers guffaw. "Look at that fool!"
DESTROYERBILL: i try to get back up but slip
Smon: The Minkai girl acknowledges Prisha's bow, nods in return and gives a ghostly smile.
joriandrake: (if this is deception im proficient)
Smon: "Ha ha ha!"
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will focus on talking to the King
joriandrake: Prisha helps NS up
Smon: King Koloth laughs at the sight of NS the Fool.
DESTROYERBILL: i get back up then fall backwards
joriandrake: and says "YOu just have to bow a little bit, that was too much"
Smon: Koloth: "Ha ha ha"
Smon: He claps.
Smon: Turns to Sandor. "You're here to deal with our Orc problem?"
DESTROYERBILL: i then get up and do a proper bow
joriandrake: ooc. shall I do an Insight roll or is the act too obvious?
Smon: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgMreReeMP9z1I6wAVyxMtH4Edu-7cVBkNObkzG1__RWm1ncePAjbfSHe43d_isWjWwN13cHlw1ZDZacX0qmF2u8hp6yV0T3GqJ16F8-m4dgKJBCYJoPwvMpaTSltXTaqcKtFeobLYkaY/s320/Koloth.png
Smon: It's a pretty obvious fools' act.
Smon: Koloth grins: "Fool! I like you! There's little enough mirth in these parts!"
Sandor Sunneson: And others too, Hakeem has requested that I become the Ruler of this town
Smon: "Summatta! Bring wine for our guests!"
DESTROYERBILL: i then do a back flip
joriandrake: Prisha instead of watching the 'King' looks more closely at the slave girls
Sandor Sunneson: Yes, the orc problem is on our list to resolve
Smon: The older of the two glamorous blondes serves you all wine on a golden platter.
Smon: Koloth listens to Sandor. "Ruler? Heh. You're not as funny as that other Fool!"
joriandrake: ooc: at the moment of given chance Prisha casts the same spell on Sandor, giving him Charisma roll advantage
Smon: The blonde women are clearly aristocrats, and don't seem too happy at being naked and treated as servants.
Sandor Sunneson: Well if I am given a chance, I would hope you get to know me for who I am.
Smon: Koloth & the crowd applaud NS's backflip.
Smon: OOC Bill points out Prisha would have had to disrobe too
DESTROYERBILL: i then do a spin over sandors head
joriandrake: ooc: um, not yet
Sandor Sunneson: After the meal can we talk in private Sir, seems a bit chaotic in here
Smon: GM: Koloth notices Prisha. "You! Those are clothes! Off! NOw!"
Smon: He waves his hand at Prisha in annoyance.
Smon: Then glares at Sandor. "Do you have a letter from Hakeem? Anything?"
joriandrake: Prosha for a short moment glares but almsot right away she smiles and stands up slowly undressing and keeping her disgust of the man back
joriandrake: Prisha* 8argh typos)
Sandor Sunneson: I give you my word Sire, I fought alongside him in the recent campaign against the dark sun,
Smon: Kololth watches with interest as the young priestess disrobes.
joriandrake: lPrisha tries to do it in a very alluring way
joriandrake: as someone whi actually has control of the situation
joriandrake: who*
Smon: "Yes, yes, Sandor! Well I'm afraid I'm hardly going to hand over my - our - kingdom just like that... My she's a pretty one!"
Sandor Sunneson: I have the Amazon guards with me, you know that Hakeems's sister rules from Highhaven

Smon: "I'll say!"
Smon: says Koloth, leering.
Smon: With a struggle, the old king turns to Sandor.
Smon: "Well, I suppose we'll have to see what the Queen says about all this! Perhaps she'll consent to marry you - if you're very very good..."
DESTROYERBILL: i shout poison poison for sale just kidding
Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will go beside the king, making it easy for him
Smon: "Better than that Rey blighter..."

Smon: https://img00.deviantart.net/b2de/i/2009/273/c/8/old_warrior_by_master_berling.jpg
Smon: "A great lover, they say... Pity he loved his doxy more than my daughter!"
Sandor Sunneson: I met him briefly prior to his passing
Smon: Kololth glares at Sandor. "You'd not do that, would you, Prince Sandor?"
Sandor Sunneson: That would be an act of tragedy, I have no doxy anyway your Majesty
Smon: Koloth looks past Sandor. "The Fool and the Priestess are guests in my Hall! Baltek, have quarters made ready for them!"
Smon: Sir Baltek nods, eyeing Prisha's rump appreciatively.
DESTROYERBILL: i already have a place with a lady waiting for me sorry
Sandor Sunneson: He will then speak to the dwarf, greetings dwarven warrior, good to meet you
Smon: Koloth turns back to Sandor. "Hm. Well, I give you permission to court my daughter, I suppose. But her choice is her own! I am no tyrant!"
joriandrake: Prisha bows slightly at the king. "As you wish" Not wanting to anger him.
Smon: The Hall chuckles at Koloth's claim of non-tyranny.
Smon: Koloth smile-leers at Prisha. "I'll see you later."

joriandrake: She nods. "We will have some things to discuss, I agree." She says confidently (as far she can be)
joriandrake: ((lol Bill))
Sandor Sunneson: Good to meet you, nice axe you have there
Smon: The crowd laugh at NS's jibber-jabber. All except the Minkai girl, who seems to know what NS is saying in the dragon tongue.
Sandor Sunneson: Would be good if you could assist me in dealing with the orcs
Smon: Oghrim pats his axe.
Smon: OOC how long you got Fergus?
DESTROYERBILL: how did you end up like that lady (in draconic0

DESTROYERBILL: so your telapathic ayh
