"Hi, Kora." he says to the gnome with a winning smile.

"Hi Julian, welcome all." the older gnome says with a smile.

"Please tell your Lady that we are most anxious to meet her as well. If you would be so kind as to lead, I will close the door and follow."

"Please, please, right this way." she says as she leads the four of you in to the manor. Inside you are greeted by a large well appointed atrium. This enormous great hall's marble stonework is smooth and white. Two oak stairwells with burnished brass railings ascend to an open first-floor landing. Tapestries depicting a beautiful and savage frontier of sprawling jungle landscapes and an eerie shoreline hang from the upper landing. A glass chandelier hangs from the atrium's cieling. Another set of great wooden doors similar to those you just entered through are on the opposite wall beneath the landing. Two smaller wooden doors exit to the north and south.
Well appointed furniture provides a place to rest. On one of the couches to the north sits a man possibly familiar to Nathan. He is dressed in noble finery and carries a simple ipheion bouquet.
"Please wait here with Mr. Meravanchi for the moment. I will inform the Lady that you have all arrived." says Kora, bowing a little stiffly as she exits through the door to the north.
[SBLOCK=RA]ooc: You have been here for only 5 minutes or so waiting. Kora, the maid, had informed you that Lady Vanderboren had asked for everyone to wait until all five guests had arrived. From Trisha, you have found out a few tid bits including the fact that the Vanderborens owned two ships that they had been using to ship spices, pelts, and other exotic trade items from a far off colony on the Isle of Dread. One ship was burnt to the waterline when her parents died. The other is having trouble with the dockmaster.
I'll continue this later in our next sblock. I'll have plenty for you before you actually talk to her.[/SBLOCK]
