Why their ancestors did a noble thing once, long ago, and they expect us to treat them like royalty forever.  Ouch!"  as she gets swatted on the behind with the softer end of a broom.  With a glare at the older woman, the younger one stops giving her opinion and moves on to another table.  With Sylvain's mention of using a carriage like the others, Orlando decides it would be a good idea as well. This event is all about arriving and presenting oneself in style, and the carriage seems most appropriate.  Daylily ponders and doesn't like the idea of riding rolling wood when he knows his feet are working good.  But, Elder's feet are not so good, so he pays to let Elder ride the rolling wood while Daylily runs beside the carriage out to the gatehouse.   Leaving Borric behind, who is opting to walk instead, the coach carries the three down the road to the gatehouse.  While the line is getting a bit longer now, it is moving rather quickly.  Most people are paying attention and have their invitations in hand when they reach the front of the line.  Being reasonably dressed humans, Orlando and Sylvain make it through quickly.  The only remarkable part of the process is when the concierge made a comment of "how nice it is to have a member of the Red Hand joining us this time."By this time that Orlando and Sylvain have made it through the front of the line, Borric has arrived at the back of the line.But, then comes Daylily and Relic.  The concierge frowns and stares directly at Relic.  "In your invitations, we had specified expectations.   The musk of a proud barbarian is not something our other patrons would desire to endure during the many hour ceremony.  Since you have not introduced him to a bar of soap, it appears we must."   One of the party planners that was standing out of the way, raises and arm and points at Daylily.  With but a single word, a jet of water springs out of his hand and expands into a nine foot sphere of churning water where Daylily was standing.  But, Daylily deftly sidesteps the incoming blast.  Another of the planners throws a cloth bag, missing Daylily and hitting the ball of water.  The water starts getting white, and then frothy with bubbles of soap.  Upset that the sphere missed, the concierge quickly barks out an order to try and salvage the situation.   "Daylily Falshenaya, go into the water or go home!"  The fifteen guards standing around ready their weapons and tense up, waiting to see what the barbarian will do.  [sblock=Possible Combat] If your name is in gold, you have possible actions to take.  If it is greyed out, then you have already acted in this round.
