The Antigrol Tide (IC)

[jkason]

Naomi slips her little hand into Colmarr's as they leave the deck and head into the dim cabin. When the gnome prestidigitator changes the color of her dress, she looks down and smiles. "Oh, that's pretty! How did you do that? Can you make it blue?" When Magyar mentions putting her hair in braids, Naomi starts back from him with a slightly fearful look. When he mentions hiding her as Colmarr's brother . . . "Eww, I don't want to be a boy."

Mag holds up his hands in a gesture of surrender. "Just brainstorming, Naomi. We want you to be as unrecognizable as possible, in any case. Whether we can disguise your gender or just your hair style, we should do what we can. And we should do it fast. Perhaps we should finish in the captain's cabin?"

Naomi considers for only a moment. "All right, do what you must. You can even braid my hair if you think it will help."

Colmarr grins at the rapidfire questions, answering them equally quickly, “I changed the colour with magic Naomi, and yes I can definitely make it blue.” A short time after she asks the dress has changed to a cornflower blue, “There, how’s that?”

Turning to Magyar, he continues, “Well Naomi’s hair is already the right colour for a gnome as we nearly always have fair hair, but I’d like to try to make it a little paler, a closer shade to mine, though I don’t think my magic will do it I’ll try anyway. Hmm, since it’s already wet perhaps we should just comb it out which would hide the ringlets somewhat and leave it a little damp, we can explain that away by saying she’s had a fever...a few braids wouldn’t hurt though just to change the look.”

Chuckling at Magyar’s last suggestion, Colmarr calms and says, “As for making Naomi look like a boy I don’t think that would work, she’s too pretty to be made into a boy with the limited skills that we possess I think. Not that I have any extra clothes anyway, but they’d be far too big.”

[SBLOCK=Mallak]I'm pretty sure from the wording that prestidigitation won't work on living things as is specifies items, but if you want to allow it to do so Colmarr will change Naomi's hair colour as mentioned above, and darken her skin tone to more of a light tan.[/SBLOCK]

Naomi looks down at her dress with bright eyes and a smile. "Oo, pretty! But I think the green will blend in better." She stares at her dress with a furrowed brow for a moment, then it once again becomes a deep forest green. "Perfect!" She giggles and looks up with another radiant smile. "You're so clever, Colmarr!" [sblock=Note: ]Colmarr didn't do anything.[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]While I have heard of prestidigitation being used in certain drunken ways to change the colors of certain parts of a fighter's anatomy, I'm going to rule against your use of prestidigitation to alter Naomi. To do what you desire, you need a disguise spell. Now, any moment Troth should be showing up with an intention to disguise Naomi the old fashioned way. Whether or not he'll reveal that intention with the both of you there, we'll just have to wait and see.[/sblock]

Well she has some hidden powers of her own...maybe she’s a gnome, but she doesn’t look like one...

“Yes, clever, that’s me alright,” Colmarr replies, quickly disguising the slightly shocked expression that crosses his face with a grin, as he knows that he didn’t change the colour of the dress that time.

[SBLOCK=Mallak]I assumed as much, but just thought I’d throw the idea out anyway. As for Troth, Colmarr will likely need to stay at least, so we’ll see what happens. [/SBLOCK]

Malachi glares at the merchant and his gall, but his face quickly switches to a smile when the guard arrives. He greets him warmly when the he arrives, provided the captain does as well. The guard is free to pass, but if the merchant looks like he is moving forward, he'll mention at one of the larger of the crew that's around, "This Bleedsome does not have our captain's permission to set foot on deck" and he'll prevent his entrance.

[sblock=OOC]Purposely mispronouncing the merchant's name.

Diplomacy +8 for the guard[/sblock]

I hate the possibility of getting on the wrong side of someone who thinks as much of himself as this merchant does, but people are not and should never be property. Denther thinks quietly to himself as he continues to flank the captain, ready to help out wherever he can.

 

[Drowned Hero]

Whispering again to the Captain "I will". troth goes below deck and gather up with Colmarr and Naomi.
"hi little girl" he says trying to not frighten her with a big s "i can help you even more" "i have learned this trick you know" while he takes out a toolkit and shows her many kinds of makeup, different kind of hair to make mustaches, loose noses, ears, and so on "Colmarr stay beside her so i can use you as a model" he looks at colmarr to see if the gnome ha facial hair, something he do not find, well Colamrr has this goatee " I have to make you a goatee Naomi and maybe i should make a mustache to you both, making the illusion perfect" ...

Colmarr Blackrock, Male Gnome Bard

Colmarr looks quizically at Troth as he makes his suggestions, before speaking, “Why would you put facial hair on a female gnome Troth? They don’t have it you know, and even we males only usually sport a beard, definitely no moustache, plus we’re trying to make her look like my sister not my brother. You’ll need to change her skin tone to be a little darker like mine too if you can. Perhaps you could make Naomi look a little older, and try to mirror several of my facial features...a larger nose perhaps, some points on the ears, things like that.”

Hmm, now to make it a little more convincing perhaps...

“Now Naomi, while we get you all made up as a female gnome,” Colmarr says stressing the word female, “I’m going to teach you a few gnomish words, and I think we should change your name too...how does Lissa sound?”

Assuming Naomi agrees, he quickly teaches her a few simple gnomish words and phrases, and has her repeat them back until he’s happy with the result, especially her new name.
