House Millithor in the City of the Spider Queen II

[Serpenteye]

(Before everyone arrives)
Carcelon continues in sign;
"Who said anything about them not noticing? I was planning on convincing Dorina into letting us in."

The Matron signs back, How? a slight bend of a finger suggests scepticism.

(later, before the arrival of Eilos)

Having just finished her conversation with her daughters she sits in silent contemplation when the other members of her army arrives in rapid succession. If she notices Kilcif's injury she studies him impassionately for about half a second. With most of the group assembled she taps the arm of her chair lightly and speaks. I trust your stay in L'tarannen Del'elgluth (sp?) has been interesting. Have you learned anything of importance about our gracious hosts?

 

[Xael]

Quertus listens to Solom, and almost starts to get bored himself. Solom's recruiting speech doesn't impress him the least, even though he might be talking the truth. When Icho comments about wizards and toads, Quertus mumbles something about stupid exceptions...

When Eilos speaks however, Quertus responds: "Indeed it has. Though I don't know if the conversation will be any more lively from mine with Solom." He then changes to sign language and grins lightly: "Now, if you know, would you mind telling me if Solom tucked the Demon with me to have it spy on me and others, or does he really have a habit of giving them away?"

When he reaches matron, Quertus will do a simple greeting and wait for somebody else to start speaking.

 

[Pyrex]

The Matron signs back, How? a slight bend of a finger suggests scepticism.

Carcelon turns so that only the Matron and Narcelia can see then continues;
"By playing to her arrogance. She obviously believes that our Queen has been vanquished and that we have no choice but to serve Kiransalee. If we make a speech to the effect that we'd be willing to convert after one last attempt to contact Lolth I imagine she'd be more than happy to let us in."

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Kilcif: Bugbear/Male (Barbarian/Ranger/Rogue)

(before)

Kilcif is slightly relieved by the familiar approaching drow, but unsure and unwilling to show it he simply fallows behind the smaller drow.

 

[Seonaid]

Narcelia, Elder Daughter, Clr 11

Narcelia nods at Carcelon's reasoning. Her fingers flash in response: What if it does not work?

[At the appropriate moment When the first knock comes, she glances at the door, eyes flashing in an instant--no more--of irritation. She looks back to the Matron, awaiting her reaction.

 

[Endur]

Eilos' skeletal figures respond to Quertus.

"The demon is a test of your arcane skill. If you can master it, it is a gift. If you fail, it becomes a spy."

 

[Serpenteye]

The matron flashes back; If you still want to do it you have my permission. She might be easier to exploit if she really believes we are that sentimental, if nothing else it is a test of her wisdom.

 

[Seonaid]

Narcelia, Elder Daughter, Clr 11

Narcelia smiles a little at the Matron's comment about the test, but responds, You won't be going?

 

[Dalamar]

Torellan waits for the females to end their conversation. While it could be interesting, his mind is on more important matters. Namely, how he could exploit the rivalry between the twins.

 

[Serpenteye]

"I might come, but doing this will be the last we can do before we have to give her our answer. The time for our choice is not today, we must take all the time we have to prepare for that moment."
