Message: <blockquote data-quote="Satin Knights" data-source="post: 6224853" data-attributes="member: 6666968">Dawn comes.  Through the night and the beginning hours of the day, more caravans arrived in Cutheleon.  Today is the big day, and everyone is primping and putting on their best attire.  The carnival of entertainers are doing their best to garner tips from passers-by and keep the mood cheerful and festive. It isn't until about two pm before the first of the over anxious attendees start making their way to the dome.  Waitresses and maitre'ds alike tend to say that heading out by five pm is early enough to get a good seat, unless you are vying for one of the VIP seats in the front section.  Shiny platemail, ceremonial armors, elegant gowns and regal robes adorn most attendees.  Most weapons are tucked away out of  sight, except when that would be nigh on impossible.  In those cases, they are displayed prominently in well polished and oiled sheathes.  But looking over those that would be attending, more than half seem to be wealthy merchants.  Another quarter or so look to be ambassadors, emissaries or others of political power, rather than having the might of steel and wand.  [section][align=left]http://lpf.coloredpixels.com/Arianna_headshot.png[/align] Upon waking, Arianna says her prayers and prepares for the day ahead.  A bit before noon, not expecting the others to come to her room, Arianna makes her way up to the dry floors of her hotel and then to find Anaerion and Elenka at their rooms.  Once she dries out a bit, as distasteful as it is to her, she start her own work on accenting her charms. Her mother's pearl jewelry and three rings are the simple starters. Having the perfect garment, one that can be any many others, she keeps rotating through the possible dresses and gowns, before settling in on flowing silks of pastel colors.  Donning her leather tailfin boot as well, she prepares for the travel as well.  Since a lady normally doesn't walk around with a spear, she carefully ties a sheath to the pointy end and gently puts in her haversack.  She breaks down the speargun as well, stowing it away out of sight. She does keep the dagger accessible, just in case there is a need.   Dabbling on a bit of perfume, and she is set. [/section][sblock=ooc]Any last minute preparations or purchases?  Purchases up to 2,000 gp can be had in this town, only due to the merchants that have setup temporary shops for this event.  Otherwise, it would have been 1,000 gp for a town of this size.  Characters can go to the gatehouse any time now, either by walking the mile, passing by the teleport circle on the way, or they can get a carriage ride at 3 gp per person.  (Yeah, rates have gone up.)  [/sblock]</blockquote>
