Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plane Sailing" data-source="post: 546477" data-attributes="member: 114">Thanks for the bump, Darkbard - I've not been able to continue this for a while with pressure from work, but in a lull just before Christmas...=============A little more conversation reveals that Daros has moved on, and they don’t feel like attempting to track him down at the moment, although he is clearly continuing his policy of subverting temples of Asura in one form or another. Still, the barely competent group who have been left in charge here are no immediate threat; although they are not going to be any help in recovering Dala’s sanity and wisdom.The next thing on their agenda is shopping for the ball. Arilyn protests that here tattered and stained travelling clothes are perfectly adequate for the ball, but Anne-Marie, tutting, takes her to one side and offers to pay for suitable dresses out of her own purse. “You need something special for a grand ball, my dear”Trajan meanwhile sets off with Dala to the mens costumiers and tailors. The mincing shop keepers try to steer them towards the more ornate and expensive materials, and Trajan is horrified to see that he is expected to wear a half-cloak and codpiece in addition to tights and hose. He selects a demure green and purple combination. Dala, however, in his less-wise-than-normal state decides to go the whole hog and selects a range of clothing in blue and scarlet with gold filigree. He decides to go for a flamboyant extended codpiece with golden dragons embroidered around it “for extra potency, sir”. Dala is determined to make a big impression. He makes an impression all right...(n.b. Dala's player couldn't make it, and an old friend from Germany was visiting and took over the role (with the players permission). His lack of familiarity with certain rules and spells nicely simulated Dala's currently slightly unhinged state, while giving us some laughs in the process <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=":)" />)</blockquote>
