[LPF] Elenore's Jewels

[perrinmiller]

Tyrien, Half-elven Archeress

Still playing her role as the tart, looking pretty and bigger chested, Tyrien steps up with Eanos and smiles.

Letting her companion do all the talking is nearly killing her, but she manages to curb her tongue to say simply, "Hi there."

~ 3:57pm: The Roses - Bath House ~

As you stand before the half-elf, the door to the steam room closes on its own, springing chain doing the work. The man by the door says nothing but leans forward and watches the pair of you.

Two men before you both are looking up at Eanos. The one you suspect to be Blancher is indeed a half-elf, clearly seen as you got closer. He answers with a neutral expression, "Yeah? Well here I am. But who the hell are you? I don't recall meeting you before."

"Nor your... friend." He glances circumspect at the towel wrapped female in the all-male bath house.

The gnome and dwarf are still not paying attention.

"Silar Tonfirt, at your service, my good sir," Eanos says, with a smile. "No, we've not met, but you, good master Blancher, have developed such a reputation. Up and coming merchant ready to take the nobility by storm. Goodness, but it's thrilling, and I am envious beyond envy.

"But, well, my 'friend' here is kind of why I'm here. You see … " Eanos gestures to the partially-covered by towel décolletage the two of them managed to provide Tyrien's disguised self.

"Well, of course you see it. It's hard not to. But you also see how bare and un-enhanced it is. My friend and I want to follow in your footsteps, to take the City of Glass by storm, and to do that, we need flash! Sizzle! And you, my new friend, are just the one to provide it, I'm quite sure, if…"

Eanos pretends only now to notice the attention they've gathered from the other two men. He feigns a bit of embarrassment, then turns, hands on his hips and hips cocked.

"Boys, if you're going to ogle a man, you simply must learn to be more circumspect about it. Yes, it's an impressive stomach, but you'll never see what's further down under the towel if you can't be gentlemen."

[sblock=ooc]The room's a bit too tight to find a space where all three of us aren't kind of right up on people, so I'm trying a few things here, which may or may not be appropriate. The bluff is for convincing Blancher that Eanos' story is accurate. The Sense Motive is actually for the three all looking at him. He's trying to assess their intentions: hostile, curious, or, as his feint indicates, something else entirely.

~ 3:57pm: The Roses - Bath House ~

Blancher's brows knit as he listens to the story and doesn't appear to think Silar Tonfirt is full of it. But the idea may not be to his liking either.

The man beside Blancher turns to look at the half-elf, "Boss?" Blancher waves a hand to dismiss the unspoken question.

The other guy by the door grunts, "Ya be careful with yar words."

Blancher says, "It's alright. I think he just doesn't know who he is really dealing with, boys." It is now quite obvious to Eanos that all three men are together and have been looking at you during the exchange. So far their attitudes have all been indifferent.

The half-elf looks up with a smirk, "Master... Tooflirty, is it? I am not looking for a protégé to mentor. Flattering as that might be. If you had come at a more appropriate time I could listen to your proposal in more detail."

"But I am expecting someone and that is not you. So..." He makes a shooing gesture.

Eanos Setirav, human inquisitor

"Oh, well, that's a relief," Eanos says, pitching his volume low again and pointing to Blancher's entourage. "I was worried for a moment that this was entirely a different kind of bathhouse, but security seems quite appropriate, considering."

As Tyrien continues to ply her artificially-enhanced curves in Blancher's view, Eanos takes the seat next to the merchant, the better to whisper what he has next to say.

"Much as I'm sure you have much to teach an up-and-comer, my interests are far more ... specific. Impressing the nobility takes finery. And if it were enough to simply have fancy things, my lady would have what she wants." here he glances affectionately to Tyrien, then returns to Blancher, [color=cc666]"But social reputation is about not just money, but pedigree. Pedigreed finery, then, would be just the sort of thing which would make the splash we need to begin our upward mobility.

"I have it on good authority that you have just such a set of storied jewels. And it is my hope that my lady might be just the set of dainty decolletage upon which those jewels might rest."[/color]


[sblock=ooc]I think I've managed to phrase things such that Eanos isn't technically lying, since he keeps saying he wants the jewels for "his lady," and just sort of letting glances to Tyrien insinuate that she's his lady instead of Elenore. I also wasn't sure if continuing the scenario he had already started needed a Bluff roll each post or not. I made another Bluff roll just in case.

Bluff; Diplomacy (10) with silver tongued Haggler (3). (1d20+13=17, 1d20+13=32)

Boo-yah that is one sweet Diplomacy roll, though, so at least Eanos' last Silver Tongue wasn't wasted. : [/sblock]

~ 3:57pm: The Roses - Bath House ~

Blancher's finds the red-headed man likeable enough, not changing his attitude as Silar Tonfirt sits down and begins chatting away. The flowery speech doesn't appear to be annoying the man after his attempt to rid himself of the seemingly foppish man went unheeded.

He laughs when the jewels are mentioned, a chuckle that is not snide or condescending.

"My friend, I do not know who you have been talking to. But I am no merchant to sell jewelry to adorn your trophy girl here."

"I am sure she would like some fine earrings, bracelets, and a necklace. Probably a tiara. Nice expense ones too. Oh, you surely have your work cut out for you pleasing her. I am afraid you might not have enough gold, though."

Eanos cocks his head to one side, a knowing smile on his lips as he whispers, "Ah, but only one person has the Lady Elenore's jewels, I'm afraid. Ever since she heard they no longer adorned the Lady, my friend has been on a mission to gather them for herself."

[sblock=ooc]I don't think Diplomacy change attitude accumulates, does it? If so, I can roll more of those, but for now, we'll just come out with Eanos's specific goal and throw some Sense Motive in to see how Blancher responds to the suggestion:

Tyrien, Half-elven Archeress

Tyrien pipes up, "Oh, yes. I would very much like those jewels."

"She doesn't have them and probably would not sell them to me. Would you happen to have them on you. Ooo, can I see them if you do? Puuuleeeease?"

The half-elven girl nearly begs in her impersonation of a tart with very girlish tendencies.

"Riiiight."

Blancher frowns and looks back and forth from the tart to the fop sitting next to him. He has a shrewd look and chooses his words carefully, "No, I am not selling them to you. I already have a buyer and have no intention of going back on my deal with him."

"In fact he is due here shortly. If you wish to buy them from him, good luck. But I doubt very much he will sell. For him is very personal."

Eanos Setirav, human inquisitor

Eanos glances to Tyrien, and the guards, and decides he'll give it one more try as a nice guy...

"Are you sure it's only personal for your buyer?" he asks coyly. He smiles as he continues, "I may not be well-known, but I always do amazingly thorough research before seeking out financial transactions, you see. Now, you might get the vengeance you seek through your buyer, but it seems less than inspired, really.

"I mean, infighting between exes is certainly fun, but noble families seem to be bickering all the time. One honestly wonders if the elite will have time to even yawn over yet another bickering couple before one of the Boraga heirs manages to do something legitimately outrageous and snag the attention back.

"But a new shiny? Some little nobody who should have no means to obtain the heirlooms of nobles, but comes cavorting around in them anyway? Goodness, but I imagine that might take a direct attack on the Gabbiano apartments in order to be kicked out of the spotlight. And the longer everyone keeps looking, the longer they see just how dangerous it is to trifle with you."

[sblock=ooc]I think this is the last piece of information Eanos has that might be useful in changing his mind by non-negative means, so we'll give it a shot, then it's on to Intimidation, I suppose:
