Tarvi finishs pulling out a few of the other designs. "More than a win." She says with a grin, "I'm pretty sure that at least a few of these designs would be decent sellers."

As the vast majority of the group decides, task done, Azhar is boring, Tarvi asks, "Was that all you needed, Azhar?"

"Yeah. Am I being chased out?" he grins, [b]"So is this some sort of meeting on getting better at your craft by learning others arts?"[/b

"More on the general principle that if people interested in crafting get together with other people interested in crafting to study and discuss crafting there will be a general increase in craftiness. It works surprisingly well, except for the occasional surprise like the Weaponized Malachite Tea Cozy."

"So what are the two of you up to now? Have time for a bite to eat or a drink? I think my head has absorbed all the craft cruft it's going to absorb for the day."

"I'd love to." he glances at Tarvi, "I was going to meet Amaya later, should I see if she's available now instead?"


Cassian:
Gozran 22
There is a twitch of amusement in the mauve eyes, "I came to power in a tyranny. Fell in one two. Works wonderfully if you're on the top."

A mean chuckle, "That filthy brat just cut the idiot's purse."

Gozran 23
"I wanted to check out the security, see how hard it would be to get in and look for the an old piece of statuary." A chuckle that does reach her green eyes, "With my luck he'll have that old keepsake at his home residence."


Gravlax:
Her dark eyes look up, worry under the surface. "Why do... what?"

A pause, "You may think of them as a trap but..." a swallow, "There are many who wouldn't want to be with a barren woman." The sentence coming out in a single rush, a reason why, sooner or later, he would have pushed her away.


Azhar and Zsz:
"Not being chased."

A pause, "It's just impossible to gossip about someone when they are still around. And yes, I have time for a bite."

GM:

"Why do you say that you can't have children?" No judgment in his voice, just honest curiosity. "Did someone tell you so? Did you attempt it and fail? An old injury? I stopped myself from asking before." He catches her gaze again, and shrugs. "Because it was rude. That's the question I failed to finish."

He takes her hand and raises it to his lips. I am not many, he says, voice barely at Melilot volume. He lowers the hand and smiles at her.

"It is okay with me," he says. "But only if it is okay with you."

GM:

The Raven extracts himself from bed (stealthfully if necessary 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20), arms himself, and goes out across the rooftops of Westcrown. He is looking for something, although he doesn't know what. He will know it when he finds it. Or when it finds him.

Zsz glances back and forth between the two. "... Which of us is the one who isn't being chaste, exactly? Is that why we're gossiping?"


Male Aasimar Ranger Skirmisher 13

Zsz and Tarvi:

Azhar chuckles, "much as I'd prefer to stay and keep you two lovely ladies company, I think I'd better go." he takes a half step back, bows to the two of them, "Zsz, a definite pleasure to meet you. Tarvi, my deepest heartfelt appreciation for your assistance, and let me know if you want me to take care of any material or other costs in advance." he takes her hands in his, enclosing the pouch of amethysts and the gold ring. He is about to turn away, but stops short, "Oh, for the glass "stones" I'm going to make for the steampunk cuff and earcuff. Should I make them any particular size? I assume the stone's are normally created first right? Or am I wrong."


Azhar and Zsz:
She has the grace... slightly... to look a little guilty. "I was mostly just teasing."

"About this big for the bracelet and this for the cuff." The second this being accompanied by a much smaller circle size.


Gravlax:
She moves against his side, pressing in close for a long minute, taking something from his warmth, his prescence. "I... caught pregnant once. A long while before." There is a pause, words without voice behind them, impossible to hear, "... happened. I lost... I got really bad. The old hedge-witch said I'd probably never."


Male Aasimar Ranger Skirmisher 13

Tarvi and Zsz:
"Any particular colors I should use?" he looks over at Zsz, apparently decides against saying what he was about to, and smiles instead. Turns back to Tarvi, "I'm thinking mostly darker with maybe one or two brighter ones that kind of stand out?"


Male Human Mobile Fighter 11 Acrobat 2

GM:

He reaches an arm around her and holds her. Not constricting, but present.

He nods slowly as she speaks, and squeezes her gently.

"I still intend on staying with you," he says eventually. "Assuming you'll still have me."

GM:
Gozran 22
"I don't much care who's at the top. If they ever really annoy me, I'll just open some throats."

Cassian laughs at news of the pickpocket. "Was his technique good at least?"

Gozran 23
"Janiven, when you speak, you should always remember that sentences need subjects. Whose security?"


Azhar and Zsz:
"I'd go with a dark purple for the bigger beads, with enough translucence to let them shine when the light hits them and a orange or red for the smaller ones, to highlight the metals and have a pop color when the lighting is dim."

She smiles, "But that's my aesthetic, and it's 'maya's that you should be trying to design for."


Gravlax:
She twists in his arm, sliding into his lap, her head finding the nook of her shoulder, her arms stealing around him. "I wish I'd met you before I was so broken." The quiet wish hot breath across his throat.

Cassian:
Gozran 22
"That... pretty much is the what happens in Hell... except you'd end up on the top." Her eyes assess him for a moment, "Don't know if you'd like that part after the first few hundred years."

As for the pickpocket, "Not good." The smile grows vicious, "But good enough for the fat merchant he used it on." A pause, "I think I like windows, never been left in front of one before."

Gozran 23
She looks at him for a full half minute, then her neck darkens with a blush. She pulls another piece of her sandwich off. "Lucca's security at the Devildrone. I figure if he keeps the old Pathfinder there, we either need to make a deal with him to get access to it or break in." She shakes her head, "It made perfect sense in my head," a self-deprecating smile, "but that doesn't mean much."


The Raven:
1d20 + 11 - 10 ⇒ (3) + 11 - 10 = 4
The Raven does manage to extract himself from the wiry, possibly naked, woman who was sleeping partially twisted around him without waking her.

On the first rooftop, The Raven senses that he is being watched. It isn't until the third roof when the watcher makes itself know. A large raven, black feathers sleek and remarkably perceptive in the black night. It doesn't squawk, just rotates its head ninety degrees, observing him carefully. Then it opens, speaking with a remarkably feminine voice. "This place is boring too. Needs better. More."


Male Human Rogue 13

GM:
Gozran 22
"Ugh, no. Wouldn't like that after the first few minutes."

He settles back. "Well, then, I suppose I'll leave you there for the time being. Do you want anything else? Larger pillow? Some kind of scent you like?"

Cassian will begin to case local temples looking for places likely to have the kinds of scrolls he knows he'll need.

Gozran 23
"This Thrax guy is messing with Lucca's bottom line. Too dominant a champion means less gambling revenue. So he's looking for someone who can beat Thrax, which is partially why I'm scouting the guy. I would have asked Melilot, but she refuses to speak to me except to be condescending, so I didn't much fancy time alone with her."


Cassian:
Gozran 22
"I like iron, cleaned, but with the smell of blood it spilt still there under the false civility."

Gozran 23
"If he is a fighter she'd be the best..." Her voice trails off, "But for someone with so little personality, she manages to rub alot of people the wrong way."

"I heard something about a double header at the Devildrome today," another piece of her food. "If Thrax is eating into Lucca's profit, it would seem, like any good business man, he is trying to fix the problem."

Janiven thinks for a moment, "It really isn't Tarvi's scene, but if she came she could see what kind of magic, if any, Thrax is using." She smiles, "Also if Lucca is using any." She smiles, "It sounds mercenary, but it is lucky for us that she has a magic knack. I tried to line up a wizard for the group, but she had some family business she needed to fix out of town."


Male Aasimar Ranger Skirmisher 13

Zsz & Tarvi:
"Thanks Tarv. The two of you have fun." Azhar heads off in the direction of the Glassworks.


female half-elf witch 13

Azhar and Tarvi:
"A pleasure to meet you as well, Azhar," Zsz gets in at an opportune moment. "And if not now, perhaps the four of us could get dinner together sometime soon."

"I'm being sociable!" she confides to Tarvi happily.


Male Human Mobile Fighter 11 Acrobat 2

GM:

His arms wrap around her, and he rocks, gently. "My wish--" He sighs. "You are in no way irretrievably broken, and I will risk the sharp edges to be with you here now, and tomorrow, and on."

He kisses her cheek lightly.


Male Human Mobile Fighter 11 Acrobat 2

GM:

The Raven gestures out across the rooftop. "The people are nestled all scared in their beds while visions of bogeymen dance in their heads."

He cocks his head to the side. "People like boring because boring is safe."

He cocks his head to the other side. "I am not people. Do you know where there is excitement? I would be up for less boring. It's why I'm out here. What kind of more? What kind of better?"

The Raven extends his gloved hand toward the bird, as though to shake its wing. "I am The Raven, raven," he says.


Male Human Rogue 13

GM:
Gozran 22
Cassian blinks. "Uh... okay. That's, um, that's specific. I was thinking like oranges or flowers or something."

Gozran 23
"Well, when your only personality traits are standoffishness and arrogance, you're not winning any popularity contests."

"We can take Tarvi. We'll have to keep an eye on her... she's not used to this kind of thing."


Gozran 25 - Planning the Next Step

Having successful cracked the century-old Pathfinder cache, the group has a quick get together to figure out if they want to speak to the remains of either of the known Pathfinders or just head into the Delvehaven and take the challenges on.

Zsz:
Probably during Gozran 24

At someplace where Zsz is wont to go, Janiven would show up. "So... I finally heard that you were back in town." A half smile, "If you're still interested, we've misplaced the cleric I'd conned into the team so they could really use some magical support."

And on the assumption that Zsz would agree, you can introduce her in the Gozran 25 scene.


female half-elf witch 13

Janiven:
Zsz flings her arms around Janiven in a greeting. "Janiven! Hi!"

"I'd love to, absolutely. I'm so sorry I had to be away until now, but I'm totes excited to be a part of this!"

"Can you fill me in on what you've uncovered so far?"

Gozran 25 - Planning the Next Step

There is a new person at the meeting -- a pretty human woman with dark skin. Although her hair is white, she seems no older than perhaps early 20s or late teens. She wears a white fringed dress. Both her hair and her dress seem to be in constant, subtle motion, even when there is no breeze to stir them. Her feet are bare, and she wears a lovely golden anklet above one of them.

She cheerfully greets a few people she already apparently knows -- Janiven, Tarvi, Amaya, and Azhar -- giving them enthusiastic hugs if they permit it.

Then she glances at Janiven, apparently waiting to be introduced to the rest of the group.


Azhar and Zsz:
Tarvi waves absentmindedly to Azhar, still occasionally glancing down at one of the sketches.

At Zsz's confidence, she smiles, "You are."

Zsz:
One eyebrow lifts, "Anything in particular that you feel like eating?" And when Azhar gets a bit further away, "Are you really so bowled over by thews?" Not suspicious, just curious.

Cassian:
Gozran 22
Her nose scruches slightly, "If it is going to be something mortal that will rot, the oranges would be better. Flowers are just sickly sweet."

Gozran 23
"Well... She wasn't invited to the party for her personality."

She nods in a simple agreement with Cassian's concern for his sister. "If it looks like it's going to get bad, the two of us can scan some of the areas that don't have a view of the arena." She smiles, "And since I do want to do that anyway, it won't even be a lie that she is helping with what needs to be done."

With that she finishes her sandwich, looks to see if Cassian is ready to go, and, if so, heads to the door. It's out in the street, with the noise of humanity to cover their conversation that she casually asks, "Should I expect to see you at all outside of business?" Her voice even, barely betraying in interest in the question.


The Raven:
The raven laughs, the caw echoing in the night. "Boring is... boring. Worth nothing." The raven considers his gloved hand, "I am doctor, raven." The beak touches the hand very briefly, "And this you far less boring than other you."

A pause, "What is your opinion on tiny simian humanoids?"


Gravlax:
Her arms tighten around him for a moment as he kiss her cheek. Her eyes, no less sad for the lack of tears, looks up. "So what is my share of the rent for this larger place?"


Male Aasimar Ranger Skirmisher 13

Gozran 21 - 31

Chava/gw:

The day after meeting with Tarvi & Zsz, Azhar approaches Arata Kaijitsu when Amaya is not around. "Arata-san, I am trying to collaborate with Tarvi on putting a couple pieces together for your daughter. I would prefer she not be aware of it if possible. Is there a time I could use the workroom to get this done?"

Chava/a:

The afternoon after meeting with Tarvi and Zsz, when Amaya has a few moments to sit down. "Tarvi introduced me to an interesting group today. All about improving crafting skills. They seemed to know you, have you been participating in the group long?"


Male Human Rogue 13

GM:
Gozran 22
"Right. Okay."

"Personality shouldn't be a factor, I agree. I'll tolerate anyone while I'm on a job. Not so much when I'm not."

He does indeed follow. At her question, his face falls a bit. "Not just yet. I need a little time."


Gozran 25 - Planning the Next Step

Janiven nods at the significant glance, "Everyone, this is Zsz. She's a decently talented wizard who I vetted before bringing you in. She would have been at your first meeting, but she had some family problems that required her attention." The ranger gives the newcomer a friendly half smile, "She'd would still like to help now that she's back."

"I've filled her in on Ailyn's suspicions that the shadows present in the Wiscrani night are related to the Thrune sealing of Delvehaven." A pause, "Hopefully not in vain."

Perception DC 28 (FE:human applies):
Zsz's dress is the exact same shade and texture as her hair. The two so perfectly similar that it is impossible to see where, if, her hair ends and the dress begins.

Cassian chuckles a little at "family problems," putting a hand on Tarvi's shoulder.

"Super-excited to be helping out, and to meet all of you, well, those I haven't already met yet -- who I'm honestly not really surprised to see here, I mean, those that I didn't already know would be here, since of course Janiven was going to be here since she invited me." She smiles brightly.

She smiles brightly.

Azhar's expression is slightly amused at Zsz's words, betraying perhaps at least a slight fondness for the dark skinned woman.

He squeezes her. "But I am much happier that you want to stay."

"There is no other me," The Raven says. He puts his hands on his hips and strikes a pose. "I am The Raven."

He turns and looks back out over the city. "And I have never considered tiny simian humanoids until just this moment, doctor. I was hoping that I might run into a gargoyle again. Or perhaps a chimera. I've never seen one of those. Or ... I suppose an attractive person moon-bathing would do."

"Will you fly with me, doctor?" And with that, he takes off across the rooftops. His version of flying.


Male Aasimar Ranger Skirmisher 13

Gozran 25 - Planning the Next Step

"So, Gravlax. I believe you mentioned speaking to the dead Pathfinder's next. I guess I'm more partial towards one than the other, but it doesn't really matter. Anyone have any thoughts on the matter?" he takes out Coriana Heavenscape's Wayfinder, turns it in his hand, looking at it thoughtfully.


Zsz:
Janiven
She stiffens slightly at the hug, gently extracting herself. "Forgot you're a hugger." Smiling but not used to the touching.

The smile grows at the enthusiastic response, "Of course." She points to a busy tea shop, offering a drink. Once they are settled into a corner, Janiven speaks quietly and quickly, covering all of the current plan - the Delvehaven, the Pathfinders.

She takes a break, thinking, then very quickly. "The group can be a little... tetchy. But they are nicer than they like to portray. Cassian can be an ass but he isn't as bad as he likes to think he is. Gravlax is insane and has a alternate personality called the raven... I'm not entirely sure if it is conscious. Azhar is sweet but he also has a habit of hitting on every female he mets."

Tarvi
She smiles, "Questionable meat sandwiches it is then."

A shrug, "She won't be upset with you." Pats Zsz's shoulder, "And only a little on the hitting on. You were just being friendly, but he really isn't that bright and he may have misunderstood."


Azhar:
Gozran 23/Glasswork
He thinks, "In the morning before we start working would probably be your best bet." A smile, "You just need to be careful about which kiln you let your things cool in, but I think you have the feel of the shop enough to do that."

Gozran 22/Amaya
She smiles, "Not that long. Tarvi took me a few times after Zsz was vetted by Arael and Janiven."


Cassian:
Gozran 22
The head goes back to looking out the window, occasionally chuckling when she spots some minor evil. Once in a while humming under her breath when it is boring.

When Tarvi comes home, she looks at the head in the window, then hands Cassian a wax paper wrapped sandwich. "Are you improving home security by suggesting you collect the heads of anyone who dares break in?"

Gozran 23
A glance over her shoulder, a flash of sympathy in her green eyes. "I didn't mean for that to be pressure..." Her shoulders roll in a shrug, "I just miss you." A pause, a few blocks, "And it wouldn't surprise me if Calseinica wanted to keep you to herself. She'd have to be an idiot to not want that."

The pair is able to pick up Tarvi a few blocks from the Glittering Palace as she heads home after work. A huge smile with just a tinge of hero worship in her brother when she realizes she is being invited because she can be useful.

The Devildrome itself has a small entrance fee, the closer seats of the arena reserved for those who bet. There is a general hubbub of conversation, of odds.


Male Human Rogue 13

GM:
Gozran 22
"She's my new roommate. Been locked up in a prison without anything to look at for a long, long time, so I figure she'd appreciate the view."

Cassian shrugs. "She's got hundreds of years of experience, so I thought she might be useful. Oh, and she's also totally vicious and corrupt, so don't get too attached."

Gozran 23
Cassian shakes his head. "I really don't understand you two." He's quiet for a few steps, then: "She does want me to herself. Tore her up that she's not enough for me. That's the problem, though: I don't know what is enough for me. You're a great woman. She's a great woman. Either one of you is... a gift. A prize. And here I am with both of you. Either one of you should be enough."

He sighs. "I think I'm the idiot, Jan."

At the Devildrome, Cassian places a few bets. Safe ones, with the goal of recouping the entrance fee and nothing more. Finding their seats, he whispers to Rygel: "Have a look around, buddy. Tell me what you find."

She smiles, "Not that long. Tarvi took me a few times after Zsz was vetted by Arael and Janiven."

"Oh. So you do already know her. I assumed so, but I was going to ask. Interesting woman. Not quite sure where she came from." he shakes his head, "but she seems nice enough."

He takes a breath, looks back up into her eyes, "'maya? What are your favorite colors?" he blinks, but continues to look into her eyes, "I mean, if you weren't at home and didn't need follow any cultural or family traditions, what colors do you really like best?"

There is a slightly grumpy mmm hmm as he says that he would be moving either way. But her arms stay around him, more holding than clinging now. "I am too."

She kisses the bunch of nerves just below and behind his ear. "And what do you wish that you didn't finish?"


The Raven:
The raven follows - actually flying.

1d100 ⇒ 911d100 ⇒ 911d100 ⇒ 30
Sadly for The Raven, there is no gargoyle, no chimera, and the only person he sees bathing in the moonlight through a window is male.

The raven practically yawns. "Can't we go poke something? Make it interesting?"


Cassian:
Gozran 22
"Hundreds of years of experience doing what exactly?"

A pause, "Should I start bring home dinner for her too?" She gives him a look that says that isn't quite as stupid as it sounded. "I mean, I don't think a bodiless head needs to eat, but normally you don't go to them for advice, so maybe she would like something?"

Gozran 23/Janiven
"Very likely, Cas." Her low voice serious but not judging. A few steps of her own, "I had my eyes open when I opened my door to you. I've said it before, I enjoy your company. Even knowing that eventually you'd probably find a good woman, more innocent, less bloody." A simple roll of her shoulders. "I think I'm an idiot as well."

Gozran 23/Devildrome
Cassian can place a few simple bets that will offset the expense of the tickets. The monkey easily climbs down off the rogue's shoulder, pausing at his feet. "Mangos. I want a mango." With a simple payment requested, he makes his tiny monkey way off.

Shortly after Rygel takes his leave, a magically amplified voice announces the match between the Hellraiser Cup Champion Mantrithor Thrax and the challenger.

Below the stands is a 100-ft diameter sandy floored area. To the north and the south there are two barred entrances, the bars more than far enough apart to allow someone to reach through the bars.

There is a build of tension, an eagerness for the blood sport, and the contestants make their appearance. At the northern gate, an older man dressed in simple leathers a wooden staff at hand. At the southern gate, the champion, a handsome and well-built man, dressed for gladiatorial combat and muscles oiled to reflect the sun that lights the arena.

As the contest begins, the doors do not open, instead each of the contestants begins to summon creatures. Lemures, hordes of lemures, for Thrax and a number of elementals for the contestant. Once the creatures are summoned, each takes the opportunity to buff their summons, before sending the creatures, still with defensive magical support, to battle. It is a bloody scene, creatures being pulled apart, blood spraying. In the end the lemures, as expected, defeat the elementals.

(Since Westcrown does have laws against gladiatorial contests against living opponents, this does just barely stay on the legal side of the law. Although it doesn't quite quench the thirst of the truly blood obssesed.)


Azhar:
Gozran 23/Glassworks
"I will request a fine breakfast for myself and my daughter from my lovely wife." He turns, pauses, turns back. "I'll blame you, of course."

Gozran 22/Amaya
"I wouldn't say I know her. I've met her. She seems nice. Quite intelligent, but a bit to focused on her study for me." She thinks for a moment, "I don't think she's ever mentioned where she is from.... I know it isn't Westcrown."

"Orange and green." She says without a hesitation.

Gravlax does not wait to be introduced. He steps forward and offers his hand. "Gravlax d'Antonio," he says.

Said hand is taken and given a firm handshake. "Hi! Pleased to meet you. Call me Zsz."

She takes a break, thinking, then very quickly. "The group can be a little... tetchy. But they are nicer than they like to portray. Cassian can be an ass but he isn't as bad as he likes to think he is. Gravlax is insane and has a alternate personality called the raven... I'm not entirely sure if it is conscious. Azhar is sweet but he also has a habit of hitting on every female he meets."

"So ... I'll be dealing with adventurers, is what you're telling me?" Zsz sighs. "Well, I'm sure I've seen worse. Are any of them ... wait, Azhar? Amaya's Azhar? And is Cassian the same Cassian who's Tarvi's brother? Are there only like six people in this town who do everything?"

Tarvi wrote:
A shrug, "She won't be upset with you." Pats Zsz's shoulder, "And only a little on the hitting on. You were just being friendly, but he really isn't that bright and he may have misunderstood."

"Oh. Really? Well, I guess the primarily decorative ones are nice in their way, too." Zsz grins. "No worries, then. I'm no poacher. If he attempts to stray into my embraces, I shall tell him forthwith that nothing will happen without Amaya's express written permission."

"Thank you." he says. "From what I remember, you like reading, singing or listening to bardic tunes and the opera or theater, though things are a little bit bloody here for your taste, and I'm supposed to take you to a dance when the season is right. Is there anything going on or anything I can do that might interest you now?" he smiles, running his thumbs lightly over her knuckles.

take 10 on k.local, is there anything happening now or soon that he knows of and thinks she might be interested in?

"She asked if we'd like to have dinner with her and Tarvi sometime. I thought that would be nice, but figured you might like a say in that decision."

"Okay, Zsz," he says, testing the unfamiliar syllables. "Was that close? Zxz? Zsz?"

And to Azhar: "I was thinking the Sisters first, but that is entirely arbitrary."

"If you know of something dangerous that needs poking, lead on. I was considering visiting a trader in halflings that has ... unfortunate habits ... if nothing more interesting presented itself."

He considers the raven. "But disagreements between hominids are probably less interesting to you."

"Zsz," she confirms. "Zxz means ... something else."

It is hard to tell with her dark skin, but she may be blushing.

He smiles at her. "I suppose I should just enjoy you while I can."

Gozran 23/Devildrome
...and Cassian will get Rygel his mango as soon as possible.

"Hmm... looks like we'd need a summoner to compete." He glances around. "Should we have a look around for that office?"

"...my apologies, Zsz," he says, taking a step back, and failing to resist the urge to bow slightly as he does so.

"Oh, no apology is necessary," she replies sincerely. "You had no way of knowing, and I doubt you even have pedipalps anyway."
