One of the unknown people was a sternly beautiful oriental lady with porcelain features. She wore a high-collared black silk dress embroidered with chrysanthemums intertwined with dragons and you just knew at a glance that she was into power dressing. This was some lady. Her jet-black hair was swept up into a fierce bun with big ivory knitting needles stuck though it to keep it very firmly in place and you just knew at a glance that the knitting needles were improvised weapons, d4 piercing damage. On her feet she wore high-heeled sandals that gave her extra height and a kick like a mule, albeit at the expense of vulnerability to enthusiastic puppies. Somehow, though, you knew at a glance that those puppies would know they had been naughty.
"Ah, good," she said, "You've arrived, I am Ming Vahz, your guide for today. Welcome to Misty Sandy Beach. If you will follow me please, we can begin the tour. On the left, you will see the foot of Jagged Cliff, the '80s pop star. He met with an unfortunate accident when his electric guitar exploded and only his foot was ever found. On the right, the tranquil ocean laps laughingly onto golden sands. Please do not touch the ocean. The management accepts no responsibility for being eaten by sharks."
Tippy was bemused. This woman was trying to take over and he wasn't prepared to let that happen. With a well-rehearsed nod from him, Albert went smoothly forward into a flanking position while Tasha readied her halberd at 10ft reach. Macfeece cast Mage Armor on himself. Johnny made eyes at Ming and called out a lewd remark to put her off her guard: "Phwor, lady, you wanna learn some naked sand-wrestling?" at which she stopped and turned around to glare at him, thus facing directly into the sun and putting herself at a disadvantage in what followed. When they were ready, Tippy suddenly announced "I cast Roll Initiative!" and people who were reading this thinking "I'm bored, when do we get to the combat?" sat up and took an interest.
