House Millithor in the City of the Spider Queen

[Xael]

Quertus turns to Carcelon and speaks quietly: "The artifact that prince is carrying caused me to lose my spell, but I don't think you need me to tell you that this "Endur" is probably carrying quite a magical armament.""

Quertus then turns to stare at Django, thinking about some not-so-friendly ways to kill the damn trickster. He then gets an idea. He digs "the coin" from his pocket, keeps it in his hand under his cloack, and tries to concentrate on the supposed Paladin (mainly his weaknesses, if any).

*It has worked before...*

OOC: Well, the coin ansvered questions/problems before.

Dariel could make it without further help. He might defeat that dwarf, but only if that runt is only what he appears to be on the surface. He has also had time for preparations and it is possible that his allies have been more generous with their spells than we have been. All other factors being equal, I'm afraid he would eviscerate my poor boy. We have too much at stake here to afford to fail. The risk of Dariel's defeat must be weighted against the risk of discovery, but I do believe further interference will be necessary. If things go wrong we will need a way out.

She turns towards Quertus for a moment when she's certain that Yyssiriryl, Laral and his companions have their attention fixed elsewhere. Her fingers flash almost too fast to read, "Leave the box and disguise yourself. I might need you to Hold the Dwarf if it seems Dariel is nearing defeat, coordinate the casting with him so avoid suspicion, I might also need you to take us all out of here at my signal.
Turning to Carcelon, I need you to leave the box for a moment to assist Dariel. Disguise yourself and be ready to Dispell the Dwarf when Dariel has first shot him. I will also want you to Summon a Monster to his aid, coordinate the casting with him via Message

Turning back to Yyssiriryl and Laral she continues their polite small-talk, laced with innuendo. In one phrase, a completely innocent context, she says; ...which certainly illustrates the point that one should always be prepared for anything. The slight but precise motion of a finger, visible only to the members of her House, places a special emphasis on those words.

edit: Simplified her orders to Quertus and Carcelon.

 

[Endur]

Laral takes his leave of Matron Millithor and Lady Yyssiriryl and heads across the arena to the Duergar luxury box.

Lady Yyssiriryl uses hand movements to order Tolokoph to take the gnome slave to Menzoberanzan. Tolokoph leaves the arena area.

Endur walks down from the entrance to the entrance to the arena. His full plate is Adamantine and covered in dwarven runes. His shield is cold iron. His dwarven waraxe is also Adamantine and shines almost as bright as day.

Lord Chirar quickly flees the arena, trying hard to not come too close to Endur.

 

[Thels]

Dariel starts to get a little nervous, looking at his opponent coming towards him. Who's this dwarf? The idea was I was fighting either Tanis or Django. This guy seems in an entirely different league altogether! What's going on?

 

[metrostar]

Jena thinks This is not like Laral! He didn’t become so wealthy or powerful by acting recklessly, or selling slaves back at discounts without even bargaining!

After Lady Yyssiriryl purchases her back, Jena kneels submissively as her leash is transferred from Laral to Lady Yyssiriryl.

But Lady Yyssiriryl purchasing me back? What does this mean? It must mean my mission here is over. The slightest hint of a smile crosses Jena's lips.

OOC wow, Laral gave Jena to Kilcif for a night? I wonder how that went…

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

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

As they depart for the duergar Crown Prince on the other side of the arena Kilcif moves closer to Laral voicing his thoughts, not out of real friendship, but as someone who doesn’t want to lose a reliable client. “Laral, you seem irritated my friend…” Kilcif stops talking while he moves slightly closer to Laral to avoid a drunken and excited goblin and his friends. The excited goblin pays no heed, bumping into the Laral. Before Laral could voice protest or forgiveness Kilcif takes the goblin by the scruff of the neck and slams the goblin head first into the masonry that lines the seats and the walkways. As the hollow thud echoes in the area the pathway clears in a mad rush to get out of the way of Laral and Kilcif. As Kilcif moves close again he finishes his thoughts, “I take the houses odds are not looking so good...” Its a statement and not a question as he waits for his old associate to turn and look at him, “Shall I improve them, my friend?”

OOC: Metrostar, nothing happened as Kilcif turned Laral down and kept his money. He’s not much for paying for pleasure and pretty much uses every coined gained for personal advancement to make more coin. Also I hope you didn't mind me using your character briefly like that, I was going to email you but it's not in public knowledge.

 

[Endur]

Laral speaks to Kilcif,

"I'm afraid I don't have any money I could use to hire you. Furthermore, I don't think the Stone Guard is going to let you into the presence of their prince while you are carrying weapons. I'm not wearing any weapons, and I'm still the owner here, so they should let me into the presence of their prince.

"Goodbye Kilcif. May your arrows always slay your enemy before he knows you are there."

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

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

Kilcif nods his head at Laral wish and simply turns to walk down the path them came. Fuming with the realization that the chance for profit is gone, as all the powers that have passed upon him, Kilcif hardly notices the unconscious goblin that he kicks in the passage. Not really in the mood to stick around but unable to walk away without knowing what really happened Kilcif moves to the seats that are over run with goblinoids.

 

[Pyrex]

Carcelon looks around the room, looking for a good race to disguise herself as.

OOC: Aside from any sub-species of Elf or Dwarf, which group could I blend into the easiest?

 

[Serpenteye]

ooc: Perhaps like a Goblin BUMPkin?

(Sorry, that one really sucked )
