Percy

Percy gets up gingerly and takes a deep breath. I hope the others are OK, she thinks. What a nice dress. She spends a minute craning her neck around trying to see how she looks in it and to make sure it doesn't make her look fat. Eventually satisfied, she walks slowly and carefully around the room, examining the walls (if there are walls) looking for means of egress, attempting to whistle the song that put her to sleep.

OOC: I'd kind of forgotten about Fridly, her white owl familiar. His will save is +6 (+4 base; +2 wis). He probably would have been on her shoulder when the fae cast their sleep. If he's not now with her, she'll try to reach him emphetically, which has a range of 1 mile.

There is a single door leaving the room. As you aproach it, you hear a polite knock.

Fridley, who had been placed asleep gently on the pillow next to you, wakes up and reclaims his customary place on your shoulder.

Even more ooc: If you aren't an Order of the Stick fan, you should check it out. They have a fun commentary on familiars.

Percy strokes Fridley's soft feathers as he preens himself, as he does every morning.

Hearing the knock, she adjusts her new dress and straightens her shoulder. "Come in!" she croons sweetly.

The door slowly opens. A tall, lithe fey in a translucent white gown steps into the room, carrying a small whicker basket.

"Welcome, my lady. I trust your sleep was undisturbed. You are the guest of the Fey Under the Hill. May I offer you a refreshment?"

Holding the basket forth, the Dryad offers Persephone it's contents. The basket is filled with glimmering pommegranate seeds, sparkling like tiny jewels.

"Oh. Thanks very much." She extends her hand, uncertain as to whether she should take the basket or simply eat from it with her fingers. She extends her hand slowly, hoping he'll either off the basket or raise it to let her hand slip in easily.

"My name is Esmerelda Persephone Jara. I appreciate your hospitality. What's your name, if I may ask, and where are my friends?"

The Dryad, a female, holds out the basket so that you may take some of the offered fruit.

"I am but a servant here, my lady, allow me to escort you to my master and I'm sure your curiousity will be satisfied."

The Dryad leads you through Under-the-Hill, passing by fey of all descriptions. Most are engaged in drinking, dancing, and other wild behavior. Eventually you come to a quieter room with an elaborate wooden throne. At first, no one seems to await you in the throne room, but a stern voice soon dispells that impression.

"Why do humanoids walk through my woods?"

Persephone

"Ahem. Greetings, and pardon our intrusion. My name is Persephone and we have come to investigate some murders in Orussus. We believe a faerie Redcap is in Orussus killing innocent people. It has also stolen a necklace. We have come in an attempt to unravel this mystery and stop the killings."

As she speaks, Percy slowly rotates, looking around the room in an attempt to see who is speaking.
