Heroes, Inc.: Kryptgarden

[frostrune]

Timrin is a bit embarassed but smiles through it. Reluctantly he sees it's time for someone from the group to step forward and offer a toast. And so he does..

Raising his glass of Twilight he begins, "Nobles, friends, and honored guests... on behalf of my companions I wish to thank you for turning out this night to celebrate in a common cause. This City has weathered many trials in the last several weeks. And while there are certain to be more, together we shall conquer them."

"Our thanks to Lady Aleena and the great city of Waterdeep."

"Long may she stand!!"

He raises his glass a bit higher and takes a long drink before stepping down and resuming his place amongst the others.

No longer so happy, Maggie takes another drink and sulks.

Unless any others of you have anything more to say, the toasts end. The party will probably go on a bit longer before everyone goes home.

When it appears all are done, suprisingly, Shando stands and clears his throat. "My humble apologies Nobles of Waterdeep, for the Yellow Rose Monestary usually doesn't include public speaking or toasting as part of those things they teach us. It is hard to work on public speaking on those days that we have enforced days of silence." He pauses for a second, a wry smile on his lips. "I have been blessed to serve Ilmater, and in doing so, serve this city. As long as Ilmater wishes it, I will serve all of the people of this city, not just the rich and powerful that sit here this night, but also those out in the street this night, those that have no place to sleep or food to eat. I ask those whom the gods have blessed with abundance to take a moment and consider them in the middle of their revelry. The protection of those that can't protect themselves should be among the highest Duties that one fills in life. In working with my friends and comrades in the service to Waterdeep, I have been able to maintain that Duty. Please do not forget that while you sit and enjoy this party. I have had several small crates that I have brought this night, in hopes of taking any food that is left to those that have nothing to eat this night. If you assembled Nobles find yourselves moved to help in this endeavour, please place whatever you feel you need to donate in one of the crates. I ask that this be done with no speeches, no fanfare and in as much anonymity as possible. Charity is not meant to be done to bring fame upon those performing it. It is one of the sacred Duties that we all have to each other. I am sure that my simple words don't have to remind any of you of that fact, as you are generous people. I wanted to be sure, though, that the opportunity is available for you tonight to fulfill that sacred Duty. I know that my speech may have decreased the festivity of this party, that isn't my intention. So if I may offer the following toast: May Waterdeep stand until the end of days as a shining example of how the strong must care for, but not dominate the weak. May the Nobles who rule the city do so with wisdom and generosity. May our enemies fail to destroy all that Waterdeep stands for. Ilamter bless us all." Shando bows and raises his glass and then sits down.

(Hey, does Shando know how to bring down the party mood? )

Alethia smiles, knowing her friend truly cares for the needy, unlike some who only use their problems to increase their own popularity and power. She also makes a mental note to donate a spice jar she came across in her travels as well as that Stove of Everlasting Flame. Those two items would be quite useful to his temple, especially in feeding those homeless people.

As the party winds down, peoplle mill around and chat while waiting for carirages t obe brought from the sheltered parking area nearby, or in some cases from other places. Aleena has arranged a large one for the group tha twill arrive shortly.

Outside, Durodan calls Alethia aside "Good evening, Lady Alethia. I am aware of your dual nature. As a half-Oni, I share it. There is a monestary in Shou Lung dedicated to the redemption of tainted ones such as ourselves. They have developed methods of meditation used to not only control but harness our demonic natures. Perhaps you are interested in learning such a skill?"

 

[kirinke]

Alethia bowed. "I am afraid that my situation is not as simple as one might think. The demon that possesses me did not do so by choice and is looking for redemption, a road that led us to Waterdeep." she smiled at the half-oni. "Any help would be welcome though and I would be honored to learn those techniques."

As would I, the demon agreed.

OOC
Donating the spice jar and the stove of everlasting flame to Shando's temple.

No longer so happy, Maggie takes another drink and sulks.

"Uh-oh, " Timrin thinks to himself, "this is starting get serious."

OOC: DM_Matt, is this little love triangle thing doing anything for your story or is it simply a distraction?

 

[kirinke]

ooc:
I have a hunch that Aleena's attraction to Timrin is mostly infatuation. She has recently lost her father, a paladin and she has said that you remind her alot of him. She could be clinging to you for that familiarity and the fact that she can trust you implicitly. With Maggie, it's hero-worship I think. Mabe it might be wise to get Alethia involved. It's obvious that both look to her as a kind of guidance and temperance against rash actions ya know? And the demon would be willing to help out too, at least in sorting out Timrin's feelings towards both girls. He probly doesn't want to offend either of them. Ribbit-Ribbit ya know.

 

[DM_Matt]

More people leave as carriages line up outside. There is one prepared by Aleena that has a seat available next to the driver, a front compartment with room for two, a main compartment with room for four, and room for two to ride on the back. (You'll need to fit Aleena, Maggie, Murdoch, Dyria, Shando, Timrin, Alethia, and Barnak) Arrange yourselves as you see fit.

Not perfect, but you are quite wise.

On that front, Aleena finishes chatting, laughing, and otherwise socializing with guests on her way out, and Sharna helps a very wobbly Maggie to the carriage.

 

[Hawkeye]

Shando will load up the crates of donated food and other items into his spot in the carriage and walk/run along side the carriage.
