After a brief walkthrough of Waterdeep, Vilya decides to spend her time dancing at the Temple of Sune. She will remove her armor, scabbard and other adventuring gear and leave them in a place she can see but that is out of the way of any dancers.
She will then proceed to dance, concentrating only on dancing. Even in her concentration, she makes sure to not be in anyone's way, and checks from time to time that her equipment is still where she left them.
 

Upon reaching Waterdeep, Antillis quickly realizes its presence would be unwelcome in such a human-saturated place. Humans always were weak Prey. Its strange armor intones a message to Brystasia in a booming monotone,

"I will be about. Each night I will return here. It would be satisfactory if this Pack were to continue to Hunt together. If not, I will make my departure when that is decided."

The movement beneath the faceplate ceases several moments before the suit it finished speaking. The translation completes and the Hunter makes the short Walk to the Ethereal plane where it meanders the city in relative secrecy, always searching for worthy Prey.
 

Brystasia Purelove: Half-Nymph/Female (Avenger/Favored Soul/Heartwarder)

Brystasia flashes a radiant smile at the high priest and patiently waits for him to finishes his words. In her mind he had always been a little shy around her and no real coaxing on her part had made this go away. Finally his words where said and she replies, “Thank you my highness.”

Walking to the others she realizes that Vilya had left them and is slightly disappointed that she didn’t want to spend some private time together as they got ready for the evening. Oh well she seems so shy let her have her fun on her own and hopefully she will joins us later.

She realizes that Conan is gone and she sighs audibly realizing that all warriors are the same. No doubt off wondering about his new toy… My friend, I hope you figure out about the temple of Gond and you did not tell me what kind of tavern you wanted so you will just have to let me pick and dress as I see fit

She was nearly out of the camber when the Hunter stops her and she winced in recognizable pain at the loudness of his speaking, I need to figure out your true language as this way will have me deaf within a week. She responds with kindness wondering briefly if that is a sign of weakness in his society. She tries to grin wickedly while reply, “Have fun but be safe as this pack needs you. This pack will continue to hunt as long as there is prey.”

She walks off finally heading towards her own chamber, Simply amazing that a being that strong and powerful would seek to check out with me of all people. Her own thoughts causes her to laughs out loud but lucky there is no one to around to hear her over the music from the dance hall.

She arrives at her own chambers and quickly unlocks the door, “Home sweet home I’m home at last.” Her chambers consist of three connected rooms, a bedroom, a bathroom and a common room for entertaining guest and all in all the size was probably better than she would expect at her rank but her fellow Sunites insisted upon it and she accepted with a smile and she could still remember their words “Sune blesses the beautiful and anything less would be unfitting for you.”

The chamber though grand in size was surprisingly absent of decorations for someone of Brystasia’s personality and rank but she had insisted upon it, “I’m rarely here so placing any of Sune’s treasures here would simply be no worse than hiding them in the darkest and dreary places that we work so hard to free them in."

She frowns realizing that she does consider her chambers dark and dreary as she steps into her bedroom and gazes upon the simple bed. She smiles remembering the Seer’s bed and just how wondering it had been to lay upon as she starts to pull of her adventuring outfit laying it for the moment where it falls, maybe just this once I will request a treasure… By the time she had started the water for a bath her mind had started the idea of sleeping in that wonderful bed. She grins and giggles to herself, I think I’m going to insist upon it this time.

She glances through the scented bath oils she had been given as a gift from a former suitor and decides that jasmine and cinnamons would be perfect. As she pours them in her bath water she sprinkles a few rose petals that one of the servants had thoughtful left for her.

She settles into the hot water trying no to think of anything other than relaxing and finally the thoughts of the Seer and her companions leave her. Relaxed from her bath she decides to leave her hair mostly down, not something she does often but something that makes her feel like a true lady when in town or court. She pulls her back in simply style that keeps her hair from her eyes via a small gold tiara and finally deicide on sapphires earrings but only after trying emeralds and rubies first.

She decides upon a black dress just in case they ended up in a less than upper class establishment, At least it has a better chance of surviving a cleaning then some of these. The black dress is made of soft silk like material and is backless coming up and around her neck before falling down below her arms and continuing down her sides. A small diamond shaped cut shows off her cleavage and a small piece of invisible fabric goes across her back keeping the whole dress in its proper place. She wears black boots that only contain a slight heel but very little is visible under the full dress Her boots are.

Finally ready she walks through the Temple making sure everything was in order with the auction and that people where having a good time. Seeing Vilya she gives her the key to her chamber, “You can keep our valuables in my room and please fill free to use anything within what’s mine is yours.” She flashes a smile hoping she will at least except this, “Show the key and ask any of the servant for directions their more than willing to help you, okay?”

She shows up to meet that had plan on going to the tavern only to find Conan waiting, She frowns to herself as she walks up slightly miffed that only Conan had decided to go, Only high and mighty Sanderol would want to spend over a dusty tome than to spend time with his fellow adventures. Maybe we are not as much of a team as I had hoped.

She approaches Conan with a massive apologetic smile on her face, “I’m sorry I took so long but I so needed a hot bath. I did use some of my scented oils so I should smell very nice.” She leans in close so that the gigantic barbarian could get a sniff of the exotic scent.

She smiles pleasantly and as if pleased with herself, "Anyhow, since you didn't answer on what kind of place you wanted to go I decided to dress nicely but hopefully that isn’t an issue…" Her words trail off as her thoughts wonder how Conan will react to her with just the two of them being by themselves but she decides to make the best of it. Maybe he will open up to me this way.

Finally after the brief pause she continues her thoughts with her usual enchanting smiles upon her face, “So hopefully you didn’t have plans to take me to some hole in the wall for our first date did you?”

OOC: Though this is slightly out of time frame I hope no one has a question as to why I had all of them waiting for her instead of the other way around. Women you got to love them. :D

Before casting Gate Sandorel casts True Seeing, after recalling it with a Pearl of Power, then he casts Detect Magic.

Sandorel doesn't let the treasure stay out of his sight for a moment more than necessary. While he has some trust for Brystasia he knows her loyalties are blinding her to many truths, and he is not willing to risk their new-found wealth, no matter the ease by which it had been aquired.
He carefully watches every movement of the acolytes during the transportation of the treasure, even while he concentrate on keeping the Gate open. And when the goods have been stored he seats himself in one of the Seer's gaudy chairs, to guard the hoard. Ironically, he spends more time in the temple than any of his companions.

He soon grows bored with his vigilance and resumes studying the tomes where he left off.

ooc: What does he see in the temple and with True Seeing and Detect Magic?

True Seeing reveals little but a handful of cosmetic illusions; detect magic shows typical enchantments of protection and blessing, nothing particularly out of place.

Any protections against Scrying?
 


Brystasia and the Cimmerian spend a night on the town.

The Cimmerian spends lavishly.

Neither of them miss any of the others.
 

Brystasia Purelove: Half-Nymph/Female (Avenger/Favored Soul/Heartwarder)

Bright lights filled the temple of Sune even at the late and dark hour and some would say that the lights never went out and that the temple was always as bright as day. Right now Brystasia couldn’t have agreed more as the lights made her realize that she had probably drink more wine than she had intended over the course of the evening. Not one for the wild and uncontrolled parties that seem to frequent these halls a small amount of wine was enough to cause her to wince as she made her way through the temple. She couldn’t believe just how much Conan had drunk as he was still there after she had left for the temple and her bed.

She wasn’t drunk, nor did she think she had ever been so, and the Sunites that she passed would agree. The world was just a very bright place after she drank, even in moderation, and she had long go decided this was part of her mother’s heritage.

Her mind drifted over the day wondering about the future of the auction and just how right she been about bring the Seer’s possessions to Waterdeep over Sigil. She smiled as she imagined telling Sanderol “I told you so” realizing at the same time that she never would say it to him but the thought was still fun to entertain.

The thought of entertainment made her analyze the night she had spent with Conan, He seemed nice enough, but the roughness around the edge didn’t disappear when alone. she frowned realizing this was something that she would ever have expect from a king or even a former one at that. I guess that’s what makes him unique. She smiled as uniqueness was something that she could help but find alluring. She grinned to herself as she couldn’t help but wonder about his powerful build and his love making skills.

She signed knowing that it would be best for all if she never found out and she, Besides he didn’t even complement me on my dress.

By happen stance she came across the high priest that was helping with the auction and she checked in briefly glad to have the chance to break up her thoughts. She briefly asked how things where proceeding and she also dropped a hint about her wanting the bed and bedding if the temple won them in auction. She also asked to see who, if any of her companions had decided to sleep in the temples guest hall and to make sure that her companions where taken where being taken good care of.

After her talk to the high priest she mad it to her chamber and using her spare key she made her way in. She unhooked her dress and watched as it nearly fell off of her body in one swooping motion. Hanging the black dress up she quickly decided that everything else could wait in till the morning as she climbed into bed.
