13/8/47 Carchimish - Prisha & Nightshadow (2000 XP)

Carchimish - 13/8/47 is the grand opening of the newly furbished Temple of Meroya, taking up most of the Narangi Villa (minus Viola's alchemical lab & personal quarters) and their first wedding, Rado d'Sewer, innkeeper of the Harper's Cauldron, and Euma the Barmaid.
Prisha Acharya, Priestess of Meroya, is of course asked to officiate the ceremony, while the one called Nightshadow serves as Rado's best man.
Word has it that King Koloth and the Princess Lyssana will attend the ceremonies!

Further news in Carchimish - Sir Oghrim the Dwarf & the town guard have located a small group of three Hamarkhite death cultists operating from a derelict warehouse by the docks. All three were killed in the fracas and their bodies taken to the Palace.

Oghrim confiscates a vial of Crimson Serpent Venom poison from the dead cultists (contact, 3d6 damage, DC 11 CON save for half) and gives it to Prisha Acharya.

Sir Oghrim gives Prisha a vial of serpent venom he took from the dead cultists.

The soldiers from Plato arrive. For his heroic exploits, private Norbert Porkins has been promoted to Lance Corporal, in charge of the 8 strong honour guard. They are clearly hoping Priestess Delanie will be accompanying the diplomatic mission...

Prisha originally planned to leave Mealia with the 'temple servant' and Esmalia behind as she's the most experienced in various things. Get Mealia look into matters in settlement (see if thugs, beggars, street urchins could be gained as allies or loyal followers for extra eyes and fledgling spy network) while leaving behind Prisha's old mace to have Mealia train Esmalia (the mace whish Prisha rescued Delanie with) in the use of it, while starting basic religious training of Rosaria.

Prisha: "Mealia, Delanie has potential but requires guidance to make her stronger in spirit and less naive. I will keep Delanie by my side now to focus on making her more self-confident, less gullible, less naive. You could continue Esmalia's training not just in our religion -for which I leave notes- but also in simple weapons like this mace, typical for clerical use. Rosaria also needs to begin basic training which both you and Esmalia can provide.... and in addition you can look around in the city's slums, red light district to find courtesans, beggars, street urchins, more shady but at heart good folks to join our faith... or be our eyes and ears. I would prefer to have you on the journey and your advice is always welcome, but I believe you would be best to find unknown risks in the city or around the new temple, perhaps notice some changes done during reconstructions which we wouldn't like.... Regarding Sandor, he left last time hurried, I will send a message to him, but I only heard mixed opinions of that man Hakeem he serves, and if anything happens in the city while we're gone be sure to protect as many civilians you can, and to hid, protect yourself as well. If deemed wise, use advice from Viola's halfling gardener as well. Your lives are worth more than the temple, be careful."

...So now Prisha will ask why Mealia wishes to join, and decide final travel group depending on reasoning. As you can see above I wished not only for Mealia to 'test the waters' but also to train Esmalia in mace (simple weapons) use. Viola and Lyssana also need to be got to know better by Prisha (as in personality) and begin their training, get Viola be less shy, open up. 

Mealia nods agreeably.

"You are wise as always, Mistress Prisha. My thinking I suppose was that I could be useful to you in Hara, but I see now you are right. You have already won the favour of a King and a Princess - you do not need me to win a Lord. And I agree that it is better that two Priestesses remain here at the temple, and that I continue Slave Rosaria's training here. We would not want her to cause trouble on the journey, or with the Bronzes."

Mealia smiles to herself, and sips a little white wine.

"Priestess Delanie... My thinking is that Lord Bronze is known to be a man of healthy appetites, and to prefer the more ...developed... physique. I have noticed that Delanie has a certain effect on men, yes?"

She grins, remembering her own infatuation perhaps.

"And also, I would prefer she be away from Ironfist for awhile. He has been distracting her from her priestly duties, from her studies... and she is not quite as studious as Esmalia and myself."

Mealia looks out the window, to the pool where Viola Narangi is taking a swim.

"I will enjoy teaching Viola while you are gone, Mistress. I will try to pass on all that I have learned."

6:26pm  2018-2-13 Smon Has entered the room
Smon: Hi Jorian, I sent you a big PM with Mealia's reaction
joriandrake: just read and replied to it myself
Smon: ok will check
joriandrake: also read your second part related to the 'bonus'
Smon: Prisha: "All right, I considered to bring Viola with me, but I trust you will teach her well.... also in matters of religion." Prisha smirks, hinting at that she noticed how Mealia looks at Viola. "Also, this was, is, her villa and home. She should be able to help you establish our network of faith and eyes, and you should be able to make her less shy."
Smon: Mealia smirks back. "Yes... I think she will always be a little shy. But that is alright - no doubt it makes her a better Alchemist."
joriandrake: "If we can turn 'shy' into 'careful' and 'prepared' it will be good."
joriandrake: Prisha then adds "also if we consider her explosive alchemy trials"
Smon: Mealia glances over at Prisha, nods in agreement. "I do not think she would want to come with you to Hara. She is happy here, turning Rocksblood into Reagants for Kym Goodkind to sell to Dark Odo. Recently she has been working the stills night and day! The supply of Rocksblood grows low. Apparently it is mined by Kobolds, deep in the depths of the Earth!"
joriandrake: "....rocksblood. I doN't know much about it but sounds like useful for alchemy, perhaps it also has other uses? What does VIola know if it? Think of this as extra quest, get to know as much you can about it, and how it can benefit Meroya."
Smon: Mealia laughs. "Do you know, yesterday I SAW a kobold! He was with those adventurers at the Harper's Cauldron, when the Bard Trystan wowed the whole crowd, even the King..."
joriandrake: "That sounds interesting" she pauses "I mean, the king changed so much recently, I didn't imagine him to even visit a tavern"
joriandrake: inn*
Smon: Mealia nods. "Viola says it is formed when mineral-rich waters percolate through areas of Magicum deposits... Viola uses it to create those red healing potions, and also for the advanced Reagants Dark Odo employs in her crafting."
joriandrake: "I also met kobolds earlier, had one as hostage to make negotiations easier with their leaders" She adds after Prisha remembers the incident
joriandrake: Prisha becomes serious "I didn't hear much good about Odo, but I want to meet her personally before I create an opinion about her. Still, she was the prime suspect due to the curse earlier."
Smon: Mealia: "Yes, the King was there, with the Princess! They came to hear his song of how Trystan's band killed the black dragon Nightshade beneath the Forge of Fury - of how the little kobold Rama struck the killing blow! True or not, I could not say... but I saw when Lyssana gifted Trystan with 10 platinum coins!"
joriandrake: "Ask Viola what she knows of those deposits. Having one always supply our temples would be ideal." Then she wonders about the dragon "Wasn't there a black dragon already slayed not long ago? I think I heard about that."
Smon: Viola looks thoughtful. "They say the ravens that roost on her tower are the men who displeased her..."
Smon: (re Odo)
Smon: sorry Mealia
Smon:
Smon: Mealia looks thoughtful
joriandrake: I understood
Smon: Viola is swimming naked in the pool, much to Mealia's enjoyment.
joriandrake: Prisha smiles as she also remembers their first 'meeting'.
Smon: Mealia smiles: "Yes, two black dragons dead in a week! Great Matriarx, and this little one - though to hear Trystan tell the tale it rivalled Matriarx in ferocity!"
Smon: Delanie knocks on the study door & enters.
joriandrake: She then turns from the pool back to Mealia "Ou're ideal as a priestess, as you already know much about 'sharing love' and have wisdom which I don't have myself yet." on remark of dragons "I believe there might be a few parent dragons that might be pissed due to all the slaying. Let's hope they remain unaware of all this." Then turns to the door as Delanie knocks and comes in
Smon: "Mistress Prisha, all arrangements are ready for the wedding of Rado and Euma at the fourth hour past noon. Sir Baltek says he is sending men to 'secure the area' before the King arrives."
Smon: Mealia: "I think it's wonderful to mark the opening of the Temple with a wedding!"
joriandrake: "Good. I don't want any incidents, assassination attempts during the opening of the holy site and their marriage."
joriandrake: Prisha nods with a bright smile "Indeed, the temple to the goddess of Love being opened with a marriage is a perfect chance given by Meroya to us. If the two decide to join with another wife or husband I'll be happy to marry them again."
Smon: Delanie bows. "They will be here shortly. I shall just go water the flower garlands in the wedding hall. Is there anything else you require Mistress?"
Smon: GM OOC: BTW were you planning to Speak w Dead the dead cultists before departure?
joriandrake: "Hm. Delanie, remember the mace I used until recently? It was by meroya's blesing that I was able to use it to help your rescue. Now Mealia shall use it to train Esmalia with it in the use of 'somple' weaponry"
Smon: Delanie looks fairly doubtful. "I'm not sure I have the strength, mistress. A dagger..."
joriandrake: ooc: not before departure, the timing on original assassin isn't over yet (10days) so all of them will be once returned, plus I need spell slots during the journey...maybe
6:49pm  2018-2-13 DESTROYERBILL Has entered the room
Smon:
DESTROYERBILL: hello
joriandrake: Prisha smiles at Delanie "With your training it will also be about such easy to use weapons, dagger is part of that list as well, but know that in best case a priestess doesn't use a weapon but her skills to negotiate, and the divine blessing of Meroya to fight if necesary. Let Meroya's Katara fly and be your spiritual weapon"
joriandrake: hi Bill!
DESTROYERBILL: hello
DESTROYERBILL: https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=video&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjQjtS3x6PZAhXJK8AKHRRBAwkQuAIIKDAA&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBBL-t7CKbU&usg=AOvVaw05FzqV-JYyJnBxJaGJO4ln
Smon: GM: Rado in his wedding suit is walking up through the vinyards to the new Temple of Meroya accompanied by his best man Nightshadow, also dolled up, and Nightshadow's companions Kym Goodkind, Ironfist & Ironhead.
joriandrake: here she pauses and explains "Katara is a dagger-type from my home" She then takes it out of her sash
DESTROYERBILL: i linked wedding music
joriandrake: then hides it again as rado arrives
Smon: Delanie looks at the dagger with interest.
joriandrake: "Welcome everyone!" Prisha greets them all, then turns to Rado "You're looking fine dear Rado."
Smon: Rado looks very nervous as he stands with Nightshade & co in the cool of the entry hall.
Smon: (Nightshadow!)  Rado: "Er... anyone got a drink?"
DESTROYERBILL: the young black dragon is not here silly daddy
joriandrake: Prisha gently hugs the man "Rado, you survived worse, you'll survive this day, and I will make my best effort at making a nice memory for all your remaining life you will share with your beloved new wife."
Smon: Priestess Esmalia, in a nice white dress, who opened the door, goes to get Rado & co a glass of wine.
joriandrake: ooc: lol, so Nightshadow was disguised Nightshade al lalong!
Smon: Kym smiles: "Hello Mistress Prisha!" she hugs the Cleric.
DESTROYERBILL: i dont think nightshadow is just a costume for a dragon
Smon: Everyone has AMAZING outfits on
joriandrake: Prisha ponders Esmalia's choice of dress. "Colors change meaning in some cultures, I will wear red as color of love for tonight."
joriandrake: Prisha hugs kym back "Everyone is comin, I think I better prepare myself. Took too long to discuss other issues with Mealia."
Smon: Esmalia nods. "Yes Mistress. My dress signifies a new start... Delanie has a pink dress for ...you know!"
Smon: Mealia: "I'll see everyone is taken care of Mistress."
joriandrake: She bows and slips away to dress up after whispering to Esmalia "Entertain them, show them their positions to sit, and get Rado relax a bit."
Smon: Rado has finished his wine already.
joriandrake: She then also nods at mealia as she rushes to the back rooms to dress up
DESTROYERBILL: night shadow gets him a small bit more
Smon: "NIghtshadow, can we walk in the garden a bit? You and me?"
DESTROYERBILL: dont drink to much
Smon: "Thanks!" Rado beams as NS refills his glass. "No, of course."
DESTROYERBILL: okay ill walk with ya rado what is it
Smon: Rado walks out onto the back patio, where a brown-haired girl, the alchemist Viola (who owns the mansion!) is swimming in the pool.
joriandrake: ooc: Prisha will wear something like this but with brighter red color tone http://www.panashindia.com/cream-art-silk-floral-lehenga-with-long-choli-1337lg02
Smon: She looks up at Rado, who looks a little embarrassed. Viola smiles: "Hello Mr d'Sewer!"
Smon: Rado: "Uh, hello there! Friend and I just going for a walk in your lovely gardens..."
joriandrake: ooc lol, if there is a charisma roll this might end up a triple-marriage already
Smon: OOC Your dress is breathtaking Prisha
Smon: Once alone in the garden, Rado turns to NS.
joriandrake: When prisha returns she checks the preparations and looks for the bride.
Smon: "*sigh*..."
Smon: (brides arrive last of all!)
DESTROYERBILL: what is it
Smon: "You know, I love Euma wildly, but..."
joriandrake: ooc: well you know, culture differences and all...
DESTROYERBILL: but what
Smon: "...Her mother Brimmel is a fearsome battleaxe. And thrice-divorced, they say..."
DESTROYERBILL: she will be fine
DESTROYERBILL: she wont hurt scrath that wont kill her daughters husbund
Smon: "Well, apparently she lost her job serving at the Broken Fang recently - hit a patron with a chair, I hear... So she's going to be living with us. Working for me, really."
Smon: Rado laughs nervously. "Heh heh. No, indeed. Scratches...."
DESTROYERBILL: im just joking around dont worry
Smon: GM: Prisha emerges resplendent from her boudoir, to gasps from Esmalia (white) Delanie (pink) and Mealia (also red).
Smon: There's a knock at the door, Delanie opens it to see a grinning Lance Corporal Norbert Porkins, a squad of chainmail armoured guards behind him.
Smon: Porkins: "Hello there!"
Smon: Delanie: "Hi..."
joriandrake: Prisha smiles, acts a 'courtsie' as she never did it before then goes to Delanie and whispers "You know, red is the color of love.... and pink is the color of lust. YOu look pretty in it, and appropriate considering your conquests"
Smon: Porkins strides in, his brand new armour gleaming, and approaches Prisha.
joriandrake: "Ah Norbert, welcome. you and your fellows can join the ceremony, at the door and corners so you can also act as extra guards."
joriandrake: Prisha is happy about the early arrival of the escort
Smon: Porkins nods. "Yes ma'am. Also the Captain wants us to search the house and gardens, in case of any hidden assassins. Cultists and such."
Smon: Porkins - https://i.pinimg.com/originals/99/ee/3b/99ee3b4b8b2728df8a86f2d3865d38dc.jpg
Smon: Newly promoted to Ftr-1!
joriandrake: "Of course, you will do that together with Viola and Mealia then. They know best to where to look" and she thinks [where not to ]
Smon: hm, roll CHA+prof Prisha
joriandrake rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 3, (+7) = 10
joriandrake: ooc: lol at least a 10 without 1 roll
Smon: Porkins: "We'll look all over. Delanie, you show me the bedrooms.... You four check the gardens..."
joriandrake: "I need to prepare for the arrival of the royals and the bride"
Smon: Delanie rolls her eyes. "Yes, Norbert."
Smon: Ironfist glowers.
joriandrake: She turns to Delanie with strict gaze "This is a marriage, royalty is here. Don't do... that with him until the ceremony is over"
Smon: (looks annoyed)
Smon: Delanie nods seriously, then turns to Norbert. "I'm sorry Norbert, you hear the high priestess. If we violate the sacred oaths, your member could shrivel and ...drop off."
joriandrake: She takes a glance at Ironfist worrying this could become a war and the temple a battlefield
Smon: Delanie gets a +6 CHA check, advantage as she got an Assist from Prisha...
Smon: /roll d20+6x2
Smon Rolls 1d20+6x2 and gets:
4 (+6) = 10
14 (+6) = 20
joriandrake:
DESTROYERBILL: oh that reminds me i need the trap map back from stone hell thanks
Smon: Norbert goes very pale, crossing his legs. "er, right. I'll just go check the garden then..."
joriandrake: Prisha raises an eyebrow at NS's remark "Stone Hell?"
DESTROYERBILL: the dunegeon
joriandrake: ooc. Prisha doesn't know aanything of that (yet)
Smon: Ironfist chuckles at Norbert scurrying off like a mouse.
DESTROYERBILL: i made traps for the cobolds to protect them
Smon: Delanie looks to NS. "Oh, the map! Of course... excuse me Mistress."
Smon: She hurries off to do NS's bidding.
joriandrake: Prisha sighs at the result of the 'mental battle' with Norbert, then turns to NS. "Where is this Stone Hell dungeon, and why is it important?"
DESTROYERBILL: its a place which i get most of my money from also none of your buisness
Smon: Outside the guards all seem to be 'searching' in close vicinity to the pool containing Viola, who is clearly regretting leaving her swim a bit late.
Smon: Kym: "Nightshadow, you can trust Mistress Prisha."
Smon: "It's ok to tell her about the Rocksblood."
Smon: (the guards have left the Hall)
Smon: (so you can discuss confidential stuff ok)
DESTROYERBILL: ooc i ment that norbert not prisha
Smon: Outside: Viola: "Corporal Porkins, could you ask your men to turn their backs while I get dressed?"
joriandrake: ooc was about to post: Considering that it 'isn't my business' Prisha wonders why it is that of Delanie - as I also thought you told that to Prisha
DESTROYERBILL: sorry prisha i thought you were norbert
joriandrake: Prisha goes to Viola. Watching the outcome of this incident
Smon: Gm: NS got distracted
DESTROYERBILL: im just distracted
joriandrake: Prisha also thinks she probably picked the wrong dress if she looks like Norbert
Smon: GM: Prisha strolls outside, joining the half dozen guards leering down at Viola in the pool.
Smon: LOL @J
Smon: OOC need to put dinner on, 5 mins
joriandrake: Prisha is a bit cheeky after the earlier event and needs to release some steam. "Come on Viola, get dressed, the royals might be here any moment."
joriandrake: She then adds "Be proud of how you look, you're beautiful."
DESTROYERBILL: i whisper to iron fist "dont worry if that thing ever happand he woud not come to work the next day or week or centrey
DESTROYERBILL: "
joriandrake: ooc: What's for dinner for you Bill?
DESTROYERBILL: mash potautoes and fish fingers
joriandrake: nice, ask your dad if he could also make pudding, not sure about Britain but here we can buy instant-powder to make pudding easily and quick
DESTROYERBILL: we have that but daddy doesnt buy instant pudding he likes cake or yougert
DESTROYERBILL: yogert
Smon: (dinner cooking)
7:29pm  2018-2-13 Smon Has exited the room
joriandrake: ooc: Yogurt, okay. Well you can't make that at home, jsut buy it
DESTROYERBILL: yep
7:29pm  2018-2-13 Smon Has entered the room
joriandrake: Did his PC crash?
Smon: Viola looks up at Mistress Prisha, her cheeks crimson with embarrassment, but nods.
DESTROYERBILL: no power off he moved the computer
Smon: (can you see me?)
joriandrake: ooc: yes
DESTROYERBILL: yep
joriandrake: ooc: wil lyou need the previous ingame chat copy-paste?
Smon: Viola clambers out of the pool, to muted cheers from some of the more forward guardsmen. Getting to her feet she stands up naked beside Prisha, shoulders back.
Smon: "Corporal, hand me that wrap, please."
joriandrake: Prisha smiles at her kindly and helps with a towel
Smon: Eyes bugging out, Porkins hurries to obey as Prisha towels off the young alchemist.
joriandrake: She also whispers "Well done, you're not as shy as some may believe. Make your beauty your weapon, not a weakness"
joriandrake: As Prisha finishes she hands the towel over "Mealia will help you with that while we're gone. Learn from her."
Smon: Delanie returns with NS's map, and now more guests are arriving, beginning to fill the wedding hall, garlanded in flowers. Viola listens seriously to Prisha as they stroll back in together. "Yes, mistress. I'm learning ...slowly." She smiles shyly. "Esmalia thought a white dress for me today?"
DESTROYERBILL: thank you delaine
joriandrake: "If you like it, then sure. Here white represents something else than in my home, so it is fine. Or if you wish, we could find you a pink or red one too"
DESTROYERBILL: brb
Smon: (i have log. dinner now - 10 min break ok?)
joriandrake: sure, going afk myself then for coffee
joriandrake: bon appetit
DESTROYERBILL: thanks
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 8,
Smon: Viola seems about to say something different, but then nods. "Yes, white is fine. I am pretty new at this, after all!" She smiles.
Smon: GM: The guards are searching the gardens and rooms of the Narangi villa, to Nightshadow's practiced eye not particularly efficiently.
Smon: There seems to be a lot of searching in Viola's dressing room as she puts on her white dress, at any rate.
Smon: NS does his own sweep.
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+8 and gets: 7, (+8) = 15
Smon: Can use passive > 18
Smon: By the time King Koloth and his retinue (Baltek, Oghrim, Juko Inaba, Princess Lyssana, her maid Shae & more courtiers) arrives, NS is fairly confident the coast is clear.
joriandrake: Prisha follows Viola
Smon: Norbert Porkins watches in amazement as NS explores the tiniest crevices, checks the attic etc.
DESTROYERBILL: i say the coast is clear
joriandrake rolls 1d20+6 and gets: 18, (+6) = 24
Smon: Viola seems grateful for Prisha's company, chatting happily.
joriandrake: (her perception)
joriandrake: "Viola, if you wish to pick a different colored dress feel free to tell me." Prisha smiles
Smon: roll CHA+Prof P
joriandrake rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 15, (+7) = 22
Smon: Viola smiles gratefully at the encouragement from Prisha. "Pink is more Delanie's colour.... but I was thinking perhaps red, like you, Mistress?"
joriandrake: Prisha nods. "Of course. Red will look good on you, and it is the 'official' color of Love."
joriandrake: She helps find a nice red dress for Viola
DESTROYERBILL: i go to norbert and whisper to him "heres a tip for surviving dont hit on my freinds girl freind "
Smon: Viola smiles as Prisha finds her a lovely red number from the newly arrived pile of cast-off dresses Princess Lyssana has donated. Luckily their physiques are similar - unlike Mealia's gown which needed extensive amendments...
Smon: Norbert eyes NS.
joriandrake: "The royals might be soon here. Or already are. Let us go down and see." She then turns to any still lingering guards. "I hope you had enough .... good view of the room, and can all leave now?"
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+8 and gets: 1, (+8) = 9
Smon: The guards nod to Prisha.
joriandrake:
Smon: Norbert Porkins laughs. "Ha ha ha! You are a funny old fool!"
DESTROYERBILL: yeah jokes ha ha
joriandrake: Prisha ofers her hand to hold for Viola and leaves for the 'main hall' opf the new temple
Smon: GM: Prisha leads Viola downstairs hand in hand.
Smon: Delanie Mealia & Esmalia are seating the crowd, the King and Princess in the front row, across from Rado & NS's people Kym and the Iron Warriors.
joriandrake: As Prisha goes down she looks around considering what might need adjustment. If she believes the lighting or a breeze would be better with open or closed windows she will use Thaumaturgy to open/close windows, light up candles, make the flowers look more fresh, or similar little tricks
Smon: Rado nods gratefully as NS arrives.
Smon: "Hope you have the ring friend... Euma could be here any minute!"
joriandrake: Then she goes to the King and Lyssana "Welcome, a honor to have you as guests for this simple wedding"
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 11, (+4) = 15
joriandrake: Prisha bows and smiles at Lyssana "Your donation of clothes are already of use. Viola also picked one of the fine dresses"
Smon: NS fishes around in his pockets... and finds the gold ring Rado gave him for safekeeping!
joriandrake: ooc: glad he didn't roll an 1
Smon: Lyssana smiles warmly up at Prisha. "The Temple looks so lovely!"
Smon: Koloth attempts an affable grin. "Yes, very fine!"
DESTROYERBILL: i rember even when im drunk i smile
DESTROYERBILL: im not drunk now but when you gave it to me ha
Smon: At the entrance, Mealia begins singing a wedding tune, taken up by the other priestesses. The bride is here!
joriandrake: Prisha watches the digging for the ring, and the ring itself, then turns back to lyssana "It is a simple temple, but a temple nevertheless. Can still become nicer with time." Then smiles at the king "We're greatful for all support your Majesty is giving"
joriandrake: Prisha excuses herself, and goes to meet Euma
Smon: There's a moment for stragglers to finish seating, then a veiled and white gowned Euma slowly walks up the central aisle, her doughty battleaxe of a mother following behind as a 'bridesmaid'.
Smon: Rado eyes the stout woman, gulps, then rises to stand beside his bride.
joriandrake: Prisha is sure to get an extra piece of red cloth with her and takes ther position at the center (podium?)
DESTROYERBILL: hers some water rado
Smon: Both of you roll WIS+prof Insight checks.
Smon: (ok)
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 20, (+5) = 25
joriandrake rolls 1d20+6 and gets: 9, (+6) = 15
joriandrake: ooc: nice roll Bill
Smon: NS's sharp gaze picks out a man near the back, Uthred the Drunkard, who he recalls Rado had to bar from the Inn a few days back.
Smon: He looks shifty, as if planning something!
DESTROYERBILL: hey rado did you invite uthered
joriandrake: ooc: I assume the guards are in position by now?
DESTROYERBILL: then guy who you banned
Smon: Prisha also notices a man at the back looks rather dishevelled, but nothing more.
DESTROYERBILL: he looks like he is planning somthing
Smon: Rado "Who? Oh, him! Er, I don't recall... No, I don't think so!"
joriandrake: Prisha considers him just an extra guest or onlooker, the guards seems to have allowed him to pass through so she doesn't react further
Smon: GM: Yes the guards have taken positions, 4 watching the crowd, others the approaches.
DESTROYERBILL: ill go check him out
DESTROYERBILL: dont worry
Smon: P does see NS head round the side, over to Uthred.
Smon: stealth?
Smon: /roll d20-1
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+11 and gets: 14, (+11) = 25
Smon rolls 1d20-1 and gets: 9, (-1) = 8
Smon: 25 vs DC 8
Smon: NS rises up behind Uthred.
joriandrake: If Prisha hears this he whispers "Tray to have a peaceful resolution if there is a problem"
Smon: Who is sneaking a drink from an ouzo bottle.
joriandrake: she*
Smon: Euma looks puzzled at Prisha's distraction. "Priestess?"
DESTROYERBILL: i singnle to not worry
Smon: Rado: "Where's Nightshadow.... the Ring?!"
Smon: Rado sees NS thumbs-up.
joriandrake: Prisha smiles. "Don't worry, let us focus on the ceremony... the ringcomes later"
Smon: Uthred looks back at NS. "*hic*"
joriandrake: "....actualyl I forgot your culture uses rings, so we'll be fine even if he is late." She smiles. "Nothing can stop your weding day"
Smon: Euma gives P a grateful smile.
Smon: E's mother glares at Rado, who looks a little faint.
joriandrake: Prisha looks around, if all guaets are sitting and everything ready, the ceremony can start
joriandrake: guests*
Smon: Everyone but NS is seated.
joriandrake: Prisha looks kindly, but sternly at the old woman, who clearly loves her daughter, but Prisha hopes won't make a scene if she disapproves of Rado
Smon: NS heads back up the aisle to join Rado at the front, keeping an eye on Uthred.
joriandrake: "Well then. Here we are..." Prisha starts with a loud and clear voice
Smon: Brimmel nods to Prisha. "Mistress. You may begin."

Smon: All eyes on Prisha now.
joriandrake: "...sharing all the good, but also bad things this life will still give them, all the experience of luck and unluck they might go through, and to..."
Smon: The junior priestesses of Meroya are arrayed at the sides of the hall, interspersed with the guards, Norbert close to Delanie of course.
Smon: Viola has joined the other priestesses.
DESTROYERBILL: iron fist glares at norbert
joriandrake: "... to recieve the blessing of the goddess of Love, to hold on to the feeling for their whole life, from the goddess of of Benevolence to protect them and their future children, from the goddess of Secrets so they know how to gain knowledge which helps them on their hourney together..."

joriandrake: "So, we're here to hear their oaths of love. Euma, what is which you wish to tell Rado, whom you came before the sight of Meroya with?"
Smon: Euma smiles beneath her veil.
Smon: Her eyes shine with love as she turns to Rado.
DESTROYERBILL: im keeping a close eye on uthred seeing if he pulls out anything potentially daungeourus
Smon: "Rado, ever since we met, that day you hired me to wash the dishes, I always knew you were the one..."
Smon: NS sees Uthred lurching to his feet...

Smon: Norbert looks up, finally.
Smon: Norb: "You men! Take that drunk out of here!"
joriandrake: Prisha then calmly says. "No, Rado is not one, I personally tested that, and he risked his life with drinking potions against lycantrophy which could have killed him, to prove his love to Euma." Prisha then smiles and turns back to Euma

joriandrake: i
DESTROYERBILL: he was baned from the inn why not tell a lie to destroy the wedding
Smon: Euma whips her veil back, glaring at the crowd. "It's true - what the Mistress says - he risked his life to save me!"
joriandrake: Prisha already ignores what goes on there, and focuses on Euma and Rado
DESTROYERBILL: i walk back to the alter
joriandrake: "It is still your turn, you can tell what you wish Euma, but pelase tell it to Rado"
Smon: The crowd are confused, but the drunk is escorted out, Esmalia hurries up with bucket and mop, and NS rejoins Rado.
DESTROYERBILL: i say somone clean this vomet please
Smon: x-post
joriandrake: Prisha sighs and cast the cantrip to clean up the mess
Smon: Euma turns back to Rado and speaks warmly of her love for him.
DESTROYERBILL: gaa drunks always messing fancy stuff up
joriandrake: As she speaks, and prisha smiles she thinks this went better than expected, considering that she worried about assassins
Smon: When she's finished, Rado takes his turn, talking of his love - and, openly now, of how he dared not speak of it, fearing his mother's curse.

Smon: He finishes quite well thanks to the spell
Smon: It's like the end of a Pixar movie here
Smon: Or Disney
Smon: (same thing now)
joriandrake: Prisha waits and as Rado isn't able to get out more words she smiles and takes the lead again
joriandrake: "Will you Euma [insert family name] join Rado [insert family name] in love and sorrow for the rest of this life until you are returned to the cycle of life, and perhaps even in the next life?"
Smon: Euma daughter of Brimmel (no family name) turns to Rado, gulps.
Smon: "I will."
joriandrake: ooc: is the 'insert name' that funny that you stopped typing to laugh
Smon: (moved rooms)
DESTROYERBILL: i thought it was funny
Smon: Mother Brimmel wipes away a tear - possibly of joy.
joriandrake: "Will you Rado d'Sewer join Euma in love and sorrow for the rest of this life until you are returned to the cycle of life, and perhaps even in the next life?"
Smon: Rado nods eagerly.
DESTROYERBILL: rados last name is sewers
Smon: "By Meroya, I WILL!"
joriandrake: Prisha smiles, then takes out the piece of red cloth, and wraps it around the arm of Euma raised towards Rado, and asks Rado to raise his arm as well, to wrap the other half around it
Smon: The lovers gaze lovingly at each other.
Smon: He does so.
joriandrake: as the two hands join she turns to NS "The ring"
DESTROYERBILL: yes here it is
Smon: Seated Ironfist nudges NS.
Smon: But NS is already passing the gold ring over to Rado.
joriandrake: Prisha then whispers "This is actually unneeded, but is a proof of your love so I'll add it to the ceremony"
Smon: Rado: "It's a local custom - I put it on her finger..."
Smon: (whispered)
joriandrake: Prisha ties a knot with the red piece of cloth with the ring in the middle
joriandrake: "This red cloth represents your love, your life being tied together"
joriandrake: "Under the gaze of meroya, as the Goddess granted me the power, I hereby name you wife and husband, you may kiss now."
Smon: Rado & Euma embrace! They kiss!
Smon: The crowd cheer!
Smon: Mealia looks up from mopping - most of the sick has mysteriously vanished - and winks at Viola, who smiles back.
joriandrake: http://engl393-dnd5th.wikia.com/wiki/Ceremony
Smon: After a long kiss, Rado turns to the crowd.
joriandrake: ooc: just found it, could be used right now
DESTROYERBILL: i whisper" good job rado"
joriandrake: ooc last one: wedding
joriandrake: "WIth this the ceremony is over, and their new life together begins"
Smon: "Friends! I love you all! We have some light refreshments here, and much more made ready at the Harper's Cauldron from dusk tonight!"
Smon: Rado takes Prisha's own hand and holds it high.
joriandrake: Then Prisha grins brightly and cheerfully declares "May the feast begin!" Then whispers to Rado "I assume it is at the inn?"
Smon: "Our Priestess! Give Lady Acharya your applause!"
DESTROYERBILL: rado ill be back in an hour with a small gift
Smon: The crowd cheer, clapping both the young priestess and the happy couple.
joriandrake: She blushes "Don't thank me, pray and give your thanks to Meroya."
Smon: "To Meroya!"
Smon: someone cries.
Smon: Delanie takes up the cry: "Meroya!"
joriandrake: She nods and repeats "Meroya be praised!"
Smon: Soon the whole crowd are cheering ecstatically.
DESTROYERBILL: ooc i go off to exchange 50 gp for 5 pp and paint them gold
Smon: Koloth smiles benevolently, then stands.
Smon: The crowd settle as King Koloth speaks.
Smon: "Friends, subjects, countrymen!"
joriandrake: Prisha worries what might come, but hopes it isn't about the 'first night'
Smon: "Today is a great day! Our first wedding in our new temple!"
Smon: He coughs briefly.
Smon: "Not long ago, a rude ruffian came to my hall. A villainous wretch who claimed my crown! I confess my heart was darkened by anger then..."
Smon: "...But in that darknes came a light! This beautiful young woman, the High Priestess of Meroya, Prisha Acharya! May you all welcome her to your hearts, as we - my daughter and I - have! Bravo!"
Smon: Koloth claps Prisha, the crowd joining in. She sees Lyssana gazing adoringly up at her.
joriandrake: Prisha smiles, grateful for a happy ending to the event.
Smon: NS has left to go play a coin-related prank on Rado.
joriandrake: She bows slightly in gratitude of the king's words
Smon: GM: The crowd wait to see if Prisha will respond.
joriandrake: "and may our king remain wise, kind, and patient to all who come before him"
joriandrake: "All hail Charamish!"
joriandrake: ooc: without typos
Smon: Koloth smiles back happily, accepting the praise. He coughs again - this time the slave Inaba offers him a cup of water from which he drinks.
Smon: The Carchimishi cheer loud and long, enjoying their own patriotism.
Smon: GM: moving on
joriandrake: Prisha goes closer, she wants to talk to the king and Inaba, but as she still has detect poison/disease prepared she uses it while going there
Smon: GM: OK you cast det poison?
joriandrake: detect poison/disease yes
Smon: OOC Bill was just saying the water was bound to be poisoned  - but no, Prisha detects nothing untoward.
joriandrake: and the good king has no disease either?
Smon: As Rado & Euma withdraw to the wine reception at the entry hall, the crowd rise to follow.
joriandrake: ((due to caughing))
Smon: He has a variety of diseases.
Smon: It's quite surprising he's still walking at all!
joriandrake: ooc: whatever she gets to know of she'll list to Juko t
joriandrake: Then turns to the king "YOur majesty, perhaps you should take a rest, or if you wish still stay for the feast at the inn, but keep seated. You look tired"
Smon: roll CHA+prof
joriandrake rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 17, (+7) = 24
Smon: Koloth nods. "Yes yes, you're right of course. It's a steep trail up here!"
Smon: Lyssana: "Father, you should have had the Bearers bring you, as I suggested."
joriandrake: ooc: as earlier mentioned Prisha will tell Juko about his health, he'll need rest and healing, antidotes and all while prisha's group is gone, and should ask Viola for help
Smon: Koloth waves his daughter away dismissively. "Nonsense! I just need a little rest here. I'll be fine."
joriandrake: ooc: out of the King's ear-distance
Smon: GM: OK as the crowd exits Prisha speaks with Juko, she nods seriously. ~I will try to take better care of him.~
joriandrake: Prisha nods. "We just got his curse broken. I worry these diseases may have also a magical cause.... no proof, jsut a bad feeling."
Smon: GM: moving on... At the drinks reception NS returns with his pouch of 'gold' coins.
Smon: ~He is very old, mistress. The years in the Wilderness were hard.~
DESTROYERBILL: here you go rado 5 gp
joriandrake: ooc: Here Prisha will use her chance to talk to Juko more, tell about the corpses, the diamond spell components, and the need to keep diplomatic ties with patient/polite representatives
Smon: Rado turns from chatting with Sir Baltek. "Oh? Thank you very much Don!"
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 4,
DESTROYERBILL: your welcome
Smon: Rado, oblivious, puts the coins in his pouch.
joriandrake: Prisha will take a gold piece and give it to the bard (if still there, since Matriarx is dead and hide can't be taken)
Smon: ~I will do my best Mistress. But I am only a slave. Why not tell Sir Baltek?~
DESTROYERBILL: ther're very special coins not just your avearage gold coin
Smon: Rado: "Oh? Like, very old? Nerathi? I saw some of those once...."
joriandrake: "Juko, I leave it to you whom we can trust with the information and preparations." then speaks to the bard (if there) "Play something happy, romantic"
DESTROYERBILL: a bit diffrant
Smon: "Elidyr Imperator Rex they said.... bloke on a horse..."
DESTROYERBILL: rado i give up
DESTROYERBILL: i gave you 5 platunum coins
DESTROYERBILL: painted gold
Smon: GM: No sign of the mysterious Trystan. Rado has booked minstrels for the evening reception though.
DESTROYERBILL: paint that easily washes off
Smon: Rado's eyebrows rise. "You did? Wow!"
DESTROYERBILL: yes rado
Smon: Sir Baltek chuckles. "I, of course, spotted the deception right away..."
DESTROYERBILL: go wash your gold coins to find the platnum ones
DESTROYERBILL: sure you did
DESTROYERBILL: no one did
joriandrake: Prisha goes and mingles with the guests, tries to also take Sir baltek to the side with Juko
joriandrake: "may I kidnap you for a minute Sir Baltek?" She smiles
Smon: The Temple's meagre wine stores are already running dry, so Rado stands on the stairs and invites everyone back to the Harper's Cauldron - it's now about 30 minutes before sunset.
Smon: Baltek just raise an eyebrow at Don/Fool/Nightshadow.
joriandrake: ooc: Prisha will also mention the wine/vineyard issue to lyssana before they leave
Smon: Prisha leads old Baltek away from NS.
Smon: Baltek: "Certainly, mistress?"
joriandrake: "Sir Baltek..."
Smon: Rado takes Euma's arm and they walk out, heading for the Inn.
joriandrake: Prisha tells him the same as to Juko, also about everything, and that she decided to share with Juko before others because her loyalty and mind reading skills"
DESTROYERBILL: so rado i want to see you washing the paint off the pp so you dont forget and spend them as gp
Smon: The crowd begin to follow, Delanie & Esmalia encouraging them on.
Smon: NS hurries after Rado, who laughs happily. "Wash them off! Indeed! Ha ha!"
Smon: Euma: "You're so funny, Nightshadow!" she smiles.
DESTROYERBILL: you might lose 45 gp
Smon: Baltek watches the crowd streaming out the front doors, nods to P.
DESTROYERBILL: i need you to do this
joriandrake: ooc: sheesh, you're now known too much like a fool, people take you far less seriously here
DESTROYERBILL: im not kidding rado
DESTROYERBILL: please wash them
Smon: Rado: "Of course! Soon as we reach the Inn! Watch me do it! ha ha"
DESTROYERBILL: are you drunk
joriandrake: "Sir Balter, you and Juko should find trustworthy, qualified, patient and polite representatives. Even if the king changed situation isn't best with Sandor and whom he represented. The Empire is mighty, you people told me about the problem of lack of veteran soldiers. Let us just have friends and avoid any possible war, in any way."
Smon: Sir Baltek nods to Oghrim. "We shall be staying here a little, until the King is ready to travel. Just in case, Cpl Porkins send two men to fetch a litter and bearers."
joriandrake: After a moment of silence Prisha also adds. "As mentioned his health is worse than he thinks, be sure to keep an eye on him, ask Viola for help any time necessary"
Smon: Baltek turns back to Prisha, frowning. "Please don't speak of such matters. Koloth will rule for many a day. Now tell me more about these diamonds?"
Smon: Rado: "Drunk?! MOI?! I'm sober as a catmouse... I mean a church mouse."
Smon: He doesm seem a bit tipsy.
joriandrake: Prisha tells him about the 3 pouches to be prepared, diamonds worth 300 gold each, and how those need to be hidden, but still close to the royals in worst case.
DESTROYERBILL: rado sadly your mother died so i will have to make sure you dont get yourself in danger
Smon: NS roll Persuasion
joriandrake: "I have one such puch prepared for our journey with the princess"
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+11 and gets: 13, (+11) = 24
joriandrake: pouch*
Smon: Baltek: "These diamonds, they are for a healing spell?"
Smon: Rado, overcome with emotion, lays a hand on NS's shoulder.
Smon: "Don... Nightshadow... You are like the father I never had! Who wasn't a rat. I mean..."
Smon: Rado looks down.
DESTROYERBILL: i need to make sure just sure your safe its my duty to your mother rado i know how it feels
Smon: Rado nods. "Oh yes, you knew my mother. I forgot. You... you're not a wererat are you?"
DESTROYERBILL: i lost my mother to much too early its sad i know i feel you
DESTROYERBILL: no im not
joriandrake: She takes a mature, serious tone and looks deep into his eyes. "These are spell components, not for a healing spell, but to ask the goddess to return the dead to the living. Truly living, healthy and breathing, but works only if cast until a minute after death. Thus best if near the royal family, I'm prepared wit hte spell and can use ot on Lyssana if required, which of course I hope won't be required"
Smon: ooc prob end at 9.30
DESTROYERBILL: but she was still my freind no matter what
DESTROYERBILL: i acepted her just like your wife exepted you
joriandrake: "Finding this amount of diamonds isn't that simple for me however, so I hope you can prepare them until I return"
Smon: Baltek strokes his beard thoughtfully. "I see... there are legends of such powers... but not seen in Carchimish for many a year. High Priestess Kolda, well she was more the 'animate as rotting corpses' kind of priest... saw a couple of my friends come back that way... Sorry, I'm rambling. Thank you."
joriandrake: "If this Kolda is still around, and could cast the same spell, get her temporarily to the court until I return"
Smon: Rado gives NS a heartfelt hug. "Thanks, my friend! I'll not forget this!"
DESTROYERBILL: i hug back
DESTROYERBILL: your welcome my good rado
joriandrake: Then Prisha bids farewell to Sir Baltek and goes to lyssana
Smon: Baltek: "No, I think Kolda was launched into the Winedark Sea from a great height by Shieldbiter at Krens' Cairn..."
joriandrake: ...she stops
Smon: GM: The procession enters town, making its way towards the Inn.
DESTROYERBILL: i shed a tear while im hugging rado
joriandrake: "Ask the Mitra priest then if he could do it. If not, then just wait until I return and pray to Meroya it won't be required until then"
Smon: Baltek: "Kolda was high priestess of Hamarkhis, she served the bandit lords."
joriandrake: She says her good byes to the old man and then she'll look for Lyssana
Smon: Baltek laughs. "I assure you, such things are well beyond his power! High Priest Larsonos at the Temple-Tomb of Belaras, perhaps..."
joriandrake: Prisha leaves baltek with his thoughts, and considerations for cleric
Smon: GM: The King declares himself fit to travel & the royals (& Prisha) begin heading downhill.
Smon: Prisha joins Lyssana.
joriandrake: "Are you well? Are you enjoying yourself?" Prisha smiles
Smon: Sir Oghrin helps the King, supporting him as he descends on the trail - which really is not steep or difficult.
Smon: Lyssana smiles. "It was a lovely wedding! I only hope I have one so beautiful."
DESTROYERBILL: i give rado a vile of wyvern venom and say "aply this to any daggar you have and it will protect you once if you hit the enemy it is a last resort you only have one it will most likley kill any attacker
DESTROYERBILL: "
Smon: Rado sheds manly tears as he hugs NS back/
joriandrake: "Too bad the wine ran out so quickly" Prisha giggles
joriandrake: then turns to look into Lyssana's eyes "YOu can have many such weddings if you, and your partners wish so"
Smon: Lyssana: "Oh, there are huge vats of the stuff at the Harper's Cauldron! Rado has been bringing them in all week - I watched from the palace windows!"
Smon: Rado: "Wyvern venom? Eh, isn't that really dangerous?"
DESTROYERBILL: this is the best poison avialable in most places its worth 1200gp

joriandrake: "Well, if you can gain the support of your father and turn the vineyards, at least a part of them to the temple it won't be a problem for future weddings"
DESTROYERBILL: only use it in a dire circumstance

Smon: Lyssana nods: "Oh! I see now... about the wine. Yes of course. If we're successful, I'm sure father would happily gift them to you."
DESTROYERBILL: if your fighting a few rats dont use it but if a bandit lord attacks you or your famaliy you must use it it will protect you my proper gift to you

Smon: Rado: "Hm, how about you apply it in a sheath? Then I only have to draw the dagger if I really need it."
Smon: Rado seems a bit bewildered by the deadly gift, but nods.
joriandrake: "by the way... Lyssana, you as royalty should know, if you are the 'center piece' of marriage woves then the name of your children will be of your dynasty. .. and if your partners all accept it, you can have more than one husband...or wife. As the only daughter I assume this is the rpeferred choice if you decide to marry"
DESTROYERBILL: it will dry out qiakly so dont do that

Smon: Rado nods. "Oh? Er... maybe Viola can help with that? She's very clever..."
joriandrake: "Your father might believe you to find a husband you find attractive, even desirable. Perhaps you find more than one." Prisha winks at Lyssana
DESTROYERBILL: only aply if your in real danger when somone is attacking your family and thers no chance with out it you will know when to use it i trust you

joriandrake: "hara might be full of surprises for all of us"
Smon: Lyssana looks puzzled at Prisha, then smiles. "Oh, I think more than one *husband* would be far too much work!" She looks out over eveing Carchimish from the hill, the town lights twinkling.
Smon: "But for children you really do need one... A man, I mean."
joriandrake: Prisha smiles and nods at her "I just wanted you to know you have many options. Until we arrive there I'll also plan to distract your thoughts about such things with your lessons in religion, as you begin proper training as priestess"
DESTROYERBILL: okay i think viola might be able to do it but you will have to come with me if you dont want to aply it at the right time

Smon: Lyssana touches the ruby amulet at her throat thoughtfully. "Options... yes..."
Smon: Rado & NS reach the Inn at head of the procession. "Yes, certainly! Let's speak with Viola soon." He turns to the following crowd, taking Euma's hand.
DESTROYERBILL: so come with me now if you want you know what ill do it by myself if you dont want to come then i walk towards violas house with my back hunched down

joriandrake: Prisha hugs her "I know some religions have celibacy... nothing like that with meroya though. You can be both a Priestess to meroya and a Queen to Carchimish"
Smon: R: "Come in everyone! The drinks are ON ME!" (cheers)
Smon: GM: Viola's house = the temple of Meroya you just left.
DESTROYERBILL: okay cool i gues we can drink a small bit

joriandrake: "let us drink and be happy for these two for the remaining time today." Prisha turns to tRado and takes Lyssana's hand
DESTROYERBILL: ill hold on to it while your drinking

Smon: But NS spots Viola among the crows of revellers coming into the Inn.
DESTROYERBILL: i go to viola
Smon: And Viola is soon discussing the use of noble oils to coat a poisoned blade in airtight seal, until use.
