Paths of Legend: The Journey

Miraki excuses himself from the family table when Estelle emerges, "Don't worry about him. We'll make sure he heals."

Estelle smiles and then leans down closer, "I appreciate that. What he's been through, well, he's been very brave. You should be proud of him." She pauses, then continues, "I didn't want to say this in front of your family though, but your niece Norali, I'm sorry to say but she was killed. It tried to kill your brother too, but he was lucky. Again, I'm sorry to bear the bad news."

Miraki nods, "That's what I suspected. Thanks for telling me and thanks for getting Gentiri at least a little bit out of his funk. I'm sure you have important, world shaking things to get to so I won't hold you up any further."

Estelle nods her thanks and exits the cramped building. She begins the walk south and intends to make her way to the Hydra's Flagon, but stops to place her face in her hands, overwhelmed by the reality of everything. She takes a few deep breaths to compose herself before she starts up her walk through the empty streets.

Estelle finds the Flagon closed, though she does hear something going on inside.

Estelle attempts to open the front doors while actively listening. If it seems to be locked she would make her way around the sides to the back to see if there are any windows or other doors, in which she'd try the latter first, ultimately, she'd attempt to crawl through a window.

She had an underwhelming listen check of 5. But once inside she will use her Charm Gaze on any and all patrons, unless it's like a secret cult meeting with 40 people. Will Save DC 13.

The noise is coming from the back and as Estelle makes her way there she sees several people climbing on ladders, carrying lumber and tools, and hears hammering from above. It appears that they are repairing or rebuilding a section of the roof.

OOC: Is she still planning on using charm gaze?

 

[ethandrew]

Upon seeing the rebuilding construction Estelle things better about her hasty decision to try and manipulate whomever she came across. These people just appeared to be unfortunate souls forced to work on such a celebrated day. She walks straight to the door as if she'd done it thousands of times before, so as not to seem out of place. She'll look and smile at the workers, but nothing extra, not unless this door remained locked as well.

On second thought...no.

 

[crazy_monkey1956]

One of the workers, a supervisor of some sort since he doesn't actually appear to be doing any working, yells at Estelle, "Hey! We're closed!"

 

[ethandrew]

On third thought, maybe yes. But just with him.

Estelle looks hard at the supposed supervisor and then smiles. She doesn't say anything for a few seconds and then turns to move toward him, "Actually, you were who I was looking for, so imagine my luck."
