So she's being a dancing girl for the evening.  In a tavern in a city. And the PCs happen to be in the tavern. And, of course, something will happen. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Because she wishes to not attract attention she will have no magic items. For the same reason seduction and other non-PG activities are not on the cards either! She may flirt and tease but nothing more. How the PCs interact with her now will affect future interactions.Being an archmage she is not stupid. She will have Mind Blank running, with NonDetection prepared as a backup. She will also have several escape spells like Dimension Door and Teleport prepared. Her prepared spells will be primarily protection and escape, but she will also have a few offensive spells just in case. She will also have a heavy cloak with a few spell scrolls stashed inside which she will obviously not be wearing when she is performing. However, since she will be somewhat scantily clad and thus not have a pouch for spell components, the issue of spell components comes into play. So she will prefer spells that have no components or components that can form part of her attire. For example Shapechange with its jade circlet is a no-brainer of a choice as that could just be part of her attire. Suggestion might seem automatic but the components make it impossible. And while Speak with Plants has no components, it's pretty much useless in this scenario (assuming she'd developed a Wizard version). Which other spells should she prepare?This is pretty much a thought exercise as it could all be handwaved but the question of spell selection seems to me to make it an interesting thought exercise.</blockquote>
