Feint Whispers Chapter #3: Festival of Falling

[Mirth]

"The Priest has a point," says Tarowyn. "I say only part of the party goes in. Perhaps Jericho and myself, or Whitney and I if sneaking around isn't in Jericho's idiom. If Whitney sent Mist in with us and stayed back out of sight with Bhartus, then she would know if and when we were in danger and could come to the rescue."

"I know something of disquise and playing a role, a small bit granted but with the proper gear and preparation I could defenitely change my appearence and that of a few others." looks thoughtful. "Lord Whiteclove, is there a supply shop for the local theaters and such?" (looking for a disquise/makeup kit or MW version there of.)

In response to Tarowyn and Bhartus, Sir Whiteclove turns the boy's face to his own, hunches down, and looks directly into his eyes, silently for an entire two minutes. "Would you decieve us boy? I've been deceived recently by those I had trusted so I am no longer so open to bluffs..."

Dalik stares back into his eyes the sheriff's eyes, obviously intimidated, but still confident when he says, "No sir. I'm just a poet, a bard. Aenid decreed that we seek out heroes for their acts, not for their deaths. Leave that to the Laughing God."

No one senses that the child is bluffing. Just FYI, bards on the whole have a reputation for good in this world, though there are always exceptions.

The sheriff quips, "Good enough for me."

Whiteclove stands back up and responds to Whitney, "Yes, my Lady. I have had cause to arrest many a thief posing as entertainer in my time. I can provide you with what you need."

Jericho listens and replies...

"Well if the boy is lying to us, then I will handle it."

Jericho looks to Whitney...

"I can hang back, Whitney and Tarowyn should go in, Misty would make a good scout as well. Bhartus and myself should be prepared to act if things go awry..."

 

[jasamcarl]

The sheriff nods, "Good, we have a plan. Make your preperations. I don't want tommorow's business to suffer for this again. You can find the clothing you need for the disguises in the storage space downstairs. Now leave me." He is obviously annoyed with that last bit.

Bhartus is glad to get out of the sheriff's presence.
"Sometimes I wonder why we bother with all this..." he says.

"My thanks your lordship." Whitney says as she gives him a quick bow and withdraws with Tarowyn to prepare.

After many hours of collecting clothes and thinking it through, she goes for a more youthful girl look for herself, putting up her hair into a braid and coloring it a brilliant red.

She works with Tarowyn to get a role he feels confortable with.


(OOC: Taking 20 on each disquise, and without any bonuses from the gear I get a 24, hoping for at least a +2 from a normal kit, or more if there is a MW kit in the gear somewhere. Basically looking to change our appearences so we are noticed..)

Bhartus is glad to get out of the sheriff's presence.
"Sometimes I wonder why we bother with all this..." he says.

Jericho shrugs... taking a position of overwatch...

"Its a living dwarf... but I agree, we could do much better on our own... I suppose."

 

[jasamcarl]

The day passes into night and night into day as Whitney prepares the disguises for Tarowyn and herself. Dalik returned to his camp so as not to raise suspicions, but he stated he would return to lead the party into the caravan. The rest of the day was largly uneventful.

It is now early in the morning, immediatly before sunrise. There are still a few hours before the auctions and craft stores open for business, though preperations are being made. The sheriff has sent a quick meal of what amounts to little more than trail rations on the table in your room.

Let me know when you leave.

Whitney prepares and applies the disquise with care, showing Tarowyn how to take care of his. "Shall we head in, when the boy returns?" she asks from behind the red hair paler skin of a much younger woman.
