[QUOTE="Cerebral Paladin, post: 738363, member: 3448"] Session 2: 2/8/752 In another gray and drizzly morning, Dov sets out from her barracks to rejoin her friends at her family home. She heads out quickly, making her way through the empty streets. As she heads out of the barracks area and into the mostly empty streets, she notices a figure heading in the same direction as she is. Not for nothing was she assigned to a scout company. She stops and looks at a random storefront. The figure behind her stops as well. Enough of this. She takes a quick turn down an alley, moving stealthily and quickly. Her tail follows briefly, but then she loses him. Or at least, she thinks she does. A few minutes later, she arrives at her home. Aurora, Melania, and Ginara have preceeded her. The four wait for the better part of a half-hour for Lhovrik. A young man, with bleached blond hair, foppish clothes, and a rapier hung at a strange and unwieldy height comes in. Ginara boggles. "Lhovrik! What are you doing?" "This is dangerous, right? And keeping a low profile is a good idea, right? I thought a disguise would help." Ginara shakes her head with disdain. "Well, at least don't wear your rapier like that- you wouldn't even be able to draw it successfully. You should be wearing it lower, and farther back, like this." Ginara adjusts Lhovrik's disguise; it still looks fairly off, but it's less blatant now. Lhovrik goes over to Misty, his gray cat familiar. Misty continues to sleep, having spent the night at Dov and Aurora's house. Lhovrik takes out a fresh fish, bought on the same shopping trip this morning that got the rapier, new clothes, and make-up, and slides it in under Misty's paws. He may be asking her to do things today, and he wants to make sure that she'll be cooperative if he asks her for favors. Misty awakens and is pleased by the offering. She'll be benevolent if her human wants her to do things today. The group exchanges the information they got the previous night. Ginara asks Melania, "Do you know anything about a Bilhorngsomethingdorf? I think he's a gnome illusionist." "Bildorintingallindorf? Sure, I know him. He's a fellow performer. Calls himself "the Magnificent." "Where could we find him? I think he was a diversion for the theft." "We'll go to the Gnomish Quarter and ask around. It can't be too hard to find him." "And then we'll kill him," Aurora declares forcefully. "What?! Uncle Kinric said no unnecessary killing." "Gnome illusionists pervert the Holy Truth with their foul lies and deceits. Plus he's a thief." Lhovrik mediates. "Aurora, there isn't really any reason to kill him. Just because he doesn't have as good a respect for the Truth of Luirta as he ought isn't enough of a reason. We really need to get some information from him; if he's been part of a conspiracy, we can deal with that later." "We can claim that Dov is interested in hiring him to perform for your family," Melania suggests. "Do you mean that we're going to perpetrate our own deception?" Aurora asks. After a moment's thought she continues, "Well, I suppose in the greater pursuit of truth and knowledge, it's all right." After the group is confident that Aurora won't do anything rash, they head to the Gnomish Quarter. [/QUOTE]
