Kith listens in with a smile to the drinking song and racks his brain a bit to see if he knows it or other songs from the same genre and the same mood that the locals might appreciate.

Knowledge local: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

He also joins Ileana in looking over the tavern.

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10


Upon entering the tavern you see a young woman dressed in a outlandish witch costume. The costume appears well made and with good taste in mind. She seems to be dressing down a patron who is dressed normally but has unnaturally vibrant pink hair a good portion of the patrons who are not singing are laughing at the drama unfolding between the two. He seems to have a hangdog look as the much younger woman continues to shake her finger at him until noticing your entrance before turning in your direction you clearly hear "now behave yourself!" before she strides in your direction. The offending patron unconsciously runs his hands through his pink hair as others that had been openly laughing at him now seem to be ribbing him and slapping him on the back all of which appears to be accepted or at least tolerated by him as part of the whole social interaction before he is invited back to the table to drink again.

While the little drama of the pink haired patron seems to be ending the young server dressed as a witch strides towards your group she seems to carry herself with an air of confidence despite her youth and silly costume. She curtsies deeply her pointed hat completely hiding her features as she speaks. Welcome to the laughing demon, I am your server the wickedy witch in training Alika. How may I be of service this night.

Ileana and kith:
Your group doesn't appear to have created much of an impression yet but that may be because of the antics that was going on when you entered. There may have been those within the tavern that took special notice of you but no one stood out to your perceptions.

kith:
The song isn't one your familiar with but it is very possible that it is a local chantey. Even if the words aren't familiar to you the song follows a very standard solo and chorus pattern and the music itself would be easy to pick up and play having even only having heard it for a few moments.

Drusilla watched the witch/barmaid with a raised eyebrow. There were a great many things different about this town, and she had for one, not expected it to be quite so loud. She was nervous, but she remembered...from the Professor, perhaps?...that the best way to learn new things was to fully surround yourself in them.

"I am Drusilla, Alika. I do not know that I will make a good student in witchcraft, but if will do my best."

She looked over to Ileana and Kendra for approval, nodding slightly, somewhat proud of her initiative.

Kith smiles widely and returns the curtsey with a bow Tell me Ms Alika is the Corpse Chowder fresh and the Ghoul Head Lager well aged as should be? If you could take our friend Drusilla under your wing I'm sure she'll make an excellent Witch trainee!

The doctor doffs his top hat and bows to the 'witch' as well.

"Good evening, my dear. I am Doctor Von Herzog, and it's a pleasure to meet you."

He takes his seat and asks, "So, Miss Alika, what exactly is in the 'Corpse Chowder' and 'Ghoul Head Lager?'" He smiles, and adds, "Or is that part of the surprise?"


A pleasure to meet you. as the young woman stands from her curtsy a look of recognition and surprise crosses her face. Oh Kendra and you're the ones that spoke up for the professor at the funeral. Thank you for that. The professor was teaching me magic before he passed and was a kind man those people were out of line. Moving closer to the group she says in a hushed voice. I haven't seen anyone who crashed the procession I think they are hoping papa forgets their faces before they try showing up at the tavern again. He was pretty mad about what happened. It takes a lot to get him mad. During the whispered conversation her demeanor changes and you can truly see the girl she really is rather then the confident almost woman she is trying to play.

As Alika steps back she seems to take on her role again. She begins by responding to Drusilla and kith. Seeming to take a appraising eye to Drusilla even going as far as taking a bit of dress in hand and rubbing it between her fingers. No no just not wickedy witch material maybe good witch material especially hanging out with Kendra and that dress it is just too cute. Besides there isn't much of a future in the wickedy witch business oh it’s all fun and games at first but before you know it’s all work work work. Finally taking Drusilla in as a whole again before speaking again. Besides I think that one of the smarmier bastards would try to give you a goosing and you would hand him back his arm on a platter. She smiles a rather wicked looking smile. Not that I am against that on principal mind you.

Addressing Kith's and the Doctor Kendra answers there questions. well all the locals are in on the secret so I guess I am not giving away too much telling you that the corpse Chowder is a hearty beef stew. It is an old family recipe that goes back to when we were still roaming Varisian gypsies. The spices are a family secret but it has home grown potatoes, carrots, onions, peas and good sized chunks of beef. The lager is made in house and is a dark and hearty brew that you almost have to chew to get through. She smiles at her own wit as she continues to explain about the beer. It is a recent addition to the menu. Papa has been trying his hand at brewing for a while but this is the first he felt was good enough to serve and he is pretty proud of how it came out.

Alika takes a moment as if trying to think of anything else to add before continuing. I am not sure if it makes a difference but we have had Ghoul Head on the menu for about a month and the patrons liked it enough that it is going to become the taverns staple. We are also offering vampire steaks which are beef kabobs skewered on thick wooden spikes, wolf balls which are lamb meatballs served with a tart slaw and liquid ghosts which is sweet pale ale that actually glows faintly. I’ll give you a moment to decide what you would like.

Giving the others time to decide Alika moves close to Kendra gives the older woman a hug. I am sorry for your loss Kendra. I know papa will want to give his condolences in person as well. The Funeral broke up so fast because of those jerks. Kendra accepts the hug and returns it. I would like to have a word or two with Zokar if he isn’t too busy. Alika shakes her head. No he would be happy to see you. I will keep your friends company in the mean time. turning back to group So have you decided?

With a smile, the doctor says, "It all sounds scrumptious! If it's the house special tonight, I'd be delighted to try the Corpse Chowder and Ghoul Head Lager. And perhaps a loaf of bread and wedge of cheese for the table? Oh, and you make a very convincing witch-- and I'd recommend staying on the 'good' side of things. The stories of wicked witches rarely turn out well for them!"

The Corpse Chowder sounded hearty and delicious, however Ileana was not sure of the dark lager. She had not been permitted such drink beneath her father's roof and she felt it would do her no good to drop her guard even for a moment with the Other lurking in her head.

"It is good to meet you, Mistress Alika. I am Ileana. May we have a pitcher of water for the table, as well? I am not accustomed to strong drink and I would not like to become intoxicated and cause havoc."

She smiled at the interesting, Gypsy-kin serving girl.

Diplomacy with Alika: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Corpse Chowder and Liquid Ghosts for me I think Kith says as he sits down glad that Kendra has at least some allies in town.


Alika mentally takes the orders but when Ileana orders only water to drink she seems to take special interest and responds to her with near glee. Really would you like to have your water flavored. None of the locals ever want water so I don't get to practice as much as I might want not to mention they get all squeamish about magic. I can flavor it like apple, peach or strawberries. I can do other flavors pretty much anything I have ever experienced but those are the ones that I think you might enjoy the most.


Female Changeling Possessed Oracle 1 [HP: 8/8 | AC: 14 T: 12 FF: 13 | F: +0 R: +1 W: +4/+6 | Init: +1, Perc: +2]

Ileana tilted her head at Alika's offer to flavour the water, never having tasted such a thing. A smile spreads across her face, "Oh! That sounds grand. I will take apple, please, Alika."

Drusilla blinked unknowingly as the others talked and made their requests.
Looking rather plainly at Alika, she responded.
"I would be a good witch I think. Wickedness does not suit the Green. Perhaps it is better then that you do not take me as a student."
She looked down at her dress again, tugging slightly at the collar.
She was still not quite used to all of this, and she felt rather warm around all these people, and away from her sword and shield.
When Ileana asked for the apple flavored water, she cocked her head, nearly in imitation of the other girl. She could almost taste an apple floating in a stream at the mention of it.
"I will take a drink as well. Can you make more than one apple with your magics?...oh and some meat please."
She hadn't been aware of the last time she had meat from her long travel. It ha mostly been roots and small lizards, and they hardly counted as true meat.


Alika smiles as she takes the remaining orders. That would be one kabob and two apple waters. Alika takes her leave from the table and talks with Kendra for a moment when they meet at the door to the kitchen. With their conversation concluded Alika goes to the kitchen and Kendra returns to the table.

Several minutes later Alika rolls a good sized barrel out of the kitchen. Soon several patrons are giving her a hand to place the beer barrel on the bar. Once placed Alika calls the room to silence. Attention, Attention Miss Kendra Lorrimor has offered a keg of our fine Ghoul Head Lager for your enjoyment. She asks only that you offer a silent prayer or nice toast to the departed Professor Lorrimor in true Ustalav style. May your good words and thoughts reach Pharasma and speed the recently departed on to his afterlife.

At the end of her speech Alika taps the keg and begins passing mugs of the brew. You observe many men and women make a silent prayer while some offer up toasts to the departed professor most also raise a glass to your table as the mugs are filled. The tone of the Tavern changes as the songs that had ended with the announcement change as well to some of the dirges and other songs that mourn the passing of loved ones but celebrate the life they lived.


Female Changeling Possessed Oracle 1 [HP: 8/8 | AC: 14 T: 12 FF: 13 | F: +0 R: +1 W: +4/+6 | Init: +1, Perc: +2]

"I, too, would like some of the Corpse Chowder, thank you."

When Alika returned and made her announcement, it bode well that the patrons gave prayers or toasted the late professor, and, when mugs were raised toward them -- Ileana lifted her apple-flavoured water in reciprocation - in order to take advantage of to the good favour prompted by Alika.

When the mourning songs began, Ileana sat back and listened, while her eyes moved about the room, noting patrons and anything out of the ordinary.

Kith joins in on one of the dirges.

Perform Sing: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18


Kith's clear strong voice rings out through the hall as he follows along with the dirge and it garners some positive attention. A few looks some smiles and the occasional raised glass as the night goes on. Your drinks arrive first with the food following soon after. When the waters arrive Alika passes her hands over the two glasses and follow it with a moment of concentration before serving them to Ileana and Drusilla. As Alika lays out the food orders the smells permeate the air and make your mouth water.

You find the stew has has a slightly spicy flavor that only lingers on your tongue for a moment before being over powered by the richness of a gravy like broth. Those eating the kabobs are offered a savory tangy taste to the meats and vegetables on the stakes. Those drinking the ghoul head lager taste a brew that has heavy earthy flavor with a strong kick. Alternately liquad ghost has a light almost sweet flavor and leaves the tongue tingling as it passes. The Apple waters taste like a sweet fresh apple with just a hint of sour. Alika offers to chill each drink as you prefer. Taken all together the service and caliber of the food the laughing demon is an equal to any of the high end taverns you might find in a city like Lepidstadt which is surprising considering the small size of Ravengro. The family certainly seems to take pride in their business it must take a great deal of dedication and work to pull off.

Ileana Cercel:
Being on guard even as you enjoy your meal you notice the face of a girl no older then ten or twelve winters at the window her face pressed to the glass staring at your table. she shares your too pale skin and mismatched eyes and even seems to carry a physical similarity even beyond those obvious features, reminding you of yourself as a child. Your attention seems to startle her as the face disappears into the darkness gone in the space between the blink of an eye.

The doctor raises his glass to the memory of Petros, and joins in the public toast. As the dirges are sung, his memory also goes to his lost love Andrei, and remembers the good times they spent together as students at the University.

After Kith's solo, he clasps the younger man on the shoulder. "That was beautiful. You have an excellent voice!"


Male Elf Alchemist 4/Urban Ranger 3 HP 28/28 | AC 20 T 15 FF 16 | F 6 R 9 W 2 | Per +4 | Init +4

Kith grins at the compliment and nods towards the Doctor. Thank you. Hope everyone else in the tavern feels the same way. Friends would be good to have.. in fact I think I may ask Alika if they might take me own as some sort of in house entertainment while we're here. Would be a good way to pass the time while Kendra gets settled in and then we'll be off to carry out the Professor's final request.


Female Changeling Possessed Oracle 1 [HP: 8/8 | AC: 14 T: 12 FF: 13 | F: +0 R: +1 W: +4/+6 | Init: +1, Perc: +2]

Ileana was excited at the prospect of Alika chilling her apple-flavoured water and requested it politely, "Please chill my apple-water, Alika. Thank you."

She ate delicately of the spicy stew, savouring the flavour and richness.

When Kith's singing came to a close, she quietly applauded, for it was a sad song but well sung. "It must be nice to be able to sing, Kith. The townsfolk looked as though they approved of the performance."

She was then most astonished to see another like her and Drusilla at the glass pane before the image disappeared!

She looked across to Kendra and asked without preamble, "I saw a girl, ten or twelve winters old, in the window. Her skin was pale like mine and her eyes mismatched, like mine. As soon as she noted my gaze, she disappeared into the darkness. Do you know this girl, Kendra? Does she live here in Ravengro?"


When Ileana gets Kendra's attention and asks her question surprise is written on Miss Lorrimor's features. No not that I know of. Not to be offensive to you Ileana or you Drusilla but such a child would be a hot bed for all manor of hurtful gossip. It would be all but impossible not to hear of such an event. I can only assume she just arrived.

Kendra appears to ponder for a moment before she speaks again. Perhaps the girl seen either yourself or Drusilla as you traveled here and took interest in your shared features and chose to follow?


Female Changeling Possessed Oracle 1 [HP: 8/8 | AC: 14 T: 12 FF: 13 | F: +0 R: +1 W: +4/+6 | Init: +1, Perc: +2]

Another Changeling just arrived? Are Drusilla and I drawing like creatures to Ravengro? Most strange, Ileana thought to herself.

"The child reminded me of myself at that age. It was uncanny." Ileana turned her gaze back to the window in hopes of spying the girl once more. Was it a trick of the light or my imagination making me see something that wasn't there? Ileana forgot about her apple-flavoured water and stew and became lost in her thoughts.

Kith touches Akila on the arm to get her attention the next time she passes by Akila.. I was wondering. Do you think The Laughing Demon could use an in house bard occasionally to entertain the customers? We're going to be in town for a little while and I'd like to be of some use around here

For a while, Drusilla just listened to the others and looked into her water, letting the subtle smell of apple waft up into her nostrils. She pushed a bit of hair out of her face with the back of her hand.

When Ileana mentioned the other girl, her head popped up, and she looked at her a bit wide eyed. She felt a slight shiver wash down her back, and she stopped herself from scratching at the odd sensation.

There was another? Like...us?" she cocked her head to the side, wrestling with a thought she couldn't quite pin down.
"We should find her. I think...yes." that last bit was almost a question, and Drusilla found herself desperately wanting to know what was going on in Ileana's mind.


Female Changeling Possessed Oracle 1 [HP: 8/8 | AC: 14 T: 12 FF: 13 | F: +0 R: +1 W: +4/+6 | Init: +1, Perc: +2]

Ileana observed Drusilla's agitated movement and impatience.

Her mismatch eyes looked across at the mirror pair and she spoke in a low voice, so as to not be heard by the other, local patrons.

"Drusilla, no, not now. We are here for other matters. And we are unwelcome strangers in this place -- to travel in the dark -- friendless but for the two of us -- the community would think we were up to no good. We will make discreet inquiry upon the morrow. We will discover the identity of the child." If she exists ... Ileana mused silently.


Kith gains Alika's attention and makes his request. Alika listens to the young bard nodding as he asks. I will encourage papa to do it but it is better if you ask yourself. As I understand we will be dropping by the house tomorrow wait some after we offer our condolences. I will put a bug in papa's ear before then but you will need to close the deal. He respects a man that is direct. Alika gives you a wink. It would be nice to have a handsome man to ogle for a change.

At the back of the group in the shadowy corner that he found his seat placed, Harold takes another sip of the tavern's lager as he motions a toast to the late Professor Lorrimor. The mug in his hand, and for that matter also the chair, looks almost child-sized in the towering half-orc's thick hand. As Alika flirts with Kith in front of him, Harold's lips curl back in a smirk, displaying a bit of his over-sized lower canines before he gives the barmaid a wink, "We're all 'andsome when da lights are off, little miss."

Harold raises one bushy eyebrow at Kith, "Respect be one ov those fngs yew earn not receive free ov charge. Regardless, I was just 'avin' a bi' ov fun wiv da little lady. No offense meant." The half-orc chuckles as he removes his bowler hat, dusting a bit of the road-grit from it's brim before setting it on the table before him.

"Perhaps that would make me the more respectful one", Sera remarks smoothly from nearby, her dark eyes watching the proceedings with interest before half nodding towards the half orc, her face creased into a frown. "I'm not entirely sure if we met before, but my names Sera if it interests you"

Harold looks at Sera as she introduces herself. The big man extends one of his ham-hock-sized paws in a handshake to the woman, "Wif all ov da 'alla-baloo at da funeral, we must 'ave missed fawmal introducshuns, Miss Sera. The name's Harold Grimsley, thuff most folks call me 'Horrible' while me friends call me Harold. A pleasure ter 'ave yaaahr acquintance." Harold lifts up his mug for another draw of the lager before glancing about the room, "Tis a right shame what 'appened wiv da Professor."

Drusilla lowered her head slightly. She was a bit disappointed, but then she remembered why she was here in the first place. A man had been kind to her, and she was here to return the favor. It mattered little that the man was dead, and it was fortune that brought her to so many curiosities, Ileana included.

She cocked her head at the large half orc, Harold, as if seeing him for the first time. She wondered for a short time how she had missed him, but then again there were so many new things happening, she didn't stay surprised for long.

"We are to meet with the owner of this place, the witch's father?" she said to noone in particular, though she looked at Ileana.

Ileana's mismatch eyes fell upon Harold and then Sera. They had found their voices, it seemed.

Hearing the other Changeling's question, Ileana smiled and responded quietly,

"She isn't really a witch, Drusilla. She is simply playing a part - it is meant to be entertaining."

"Its a shame indeed", Sera agrees, thinking about the untimely death of the professor. "Then again, studying undead...paradoxically sometimes ends up decreasing your life span, instead of prolonging it"


Kendra Lorrimor
Kendra puts to rest any uncertainty in Kith's statement. Yes I was going to pay the Elkarid's to deliver breakfast tomorrow since my cupboards are woefully inadequate for the company but Zokar the dear man that he is wouldn't hear of it. He wished to stop and pay his respects and offered breakfast for tomorrow I will see about restocking my pantry for company after the visit and if you wish we can ask around town about the young girl then. Kendra turns to Drusilla and Ileana as she asks for their approval Does that sound satisfactory Drusilla, Ileana?

Kendra gets Harold's attention for a moment she smiles kindly at the large man. Harold would you be kind enough to escort me on the trip tomorrow. With everything that is happening I would appreciate someone with your skills at hand if something should happen. You did watch over my father in the city and he spoke highly of you.

Harolds runs a hand across the back of his head as he ducks his head in agreement, "But ov caaahrse, Miss Lorrimor. It would be da least I can do fer da daughter ov such a good geezer as yaaahr farfer. I'm make sure yaaahr trip is beautifully uneventful awer me name ain't Harold Grimsley."

"Yes, that is a suitable arrangement, Kendra. Thank you." She smiled at the late professor's daughter while Drusilla remained silent (as was her way).

Ileana's eyes strayed to the Half-Orc -- his size and presence fascinated the young oracle.

In the innocent, forthright manner that was her way, Ileana asked the warrior, "Do you frighten many people when they first meet you? You are rather imposing, Harold."

Kith relaxes as the members of their group chat with each other. For the first time since they had arrived in town Kith felt like he was with friends. It was a big difference from the hostility and the warnings from early in the day. He joins in on a few more of the songs being sung and enjoys his food and drink.

Before answering Ileana, Harold finishes the last of his lager with a deep gulp before setting the empty cup back down on the table, "I suppose what I do, Ms. Ileana, thuff most folk sharin' a bi' ov blood wiv aaahr rowdy Western neighbors draw similar reacshuns from mawer gentlefolk." The big man gives a smile that shows off his canines again as he shrugs his shoulders like two mountain peaks shifting from the tectonic plates of the planet's crust moving, "huff when folks get ter know me, they'll find I'm as sweet as mince pie."

Harold looks at Ileana and Drusilla and points at one of his own eyes with a finger, "I suppose yew ladies 'ave 'ad yaaahr own fair share ov issues wiv first impressions wiv da superstitious lot what makes up da majori'y ov little towns like dis. Personally, I find da whole connecshun ter witchcraft as a big steamin' pile ov 'orse sh.. ehrm stuff."

Drusilla squinted her eyes at the half-orc,pursing her lips as she sized him up. He had an odd manner to him, and an even odder dress, though not more so than many in the bar.
"Alika is not a real witch." she says matter of factly. "Though I do not know if there are others.'

Then her posture straightened as she realized that he was referring to her and Ileana, and the odd looks they had seem to be getting. In truth, she had not really noticed much other than the girl that looked like her, though she was trying to take in everything. In imitation of Ileana, she decided to ask the one who was called Harold a question as well.

"You are a warrior, yes? I am trained in combat as well. What is your weapon? Mine is..." and she began to pat the sword at her side, but was reminded that it was left back at Kendra's abode.
"..."


The evening seems to have ended successfully as the tavern winds down and the day laborers begin to leave for there beds. While the large majority of towns folk looked at your table with wonder and maybe even a little worry there was no open hostility overt or otherwise everyone appeared to be on there best behavior. If the tavern is a reflection of the town the social temperature at this point would seem to be guarded but neutral. Kith specifically seems too have garnered positive attention with his singing to include some admiring glances and raised glasses though no one seemed willing to brave your table aside from Alika who seemed at ease with all of you.

Personally, I find da whole connecshun ter witchcraft as a big steamin' pile ov 'orse sh.. ehrm stuff."

Ileana was silent for a moment when she let out a loud, quick laugh. "That learned people would fear a pair of mismatch eyes astonishes me, Harold. Luckily, I did not spend much time outside of my father's home for he feared such reactions and intent. What would they say if they saw these?" She lifted her petite hands with their long, sharp nails. "I'd personally be more afraid of these." She smiled and then placed her hands back in her lap.

Harold cranes his neck to take in Drusilla's sword (and possibly other accouterments) then gives an appreciative nod. The big half-orc pulls back his jacket and pats a simple longsword at his own waist, " I got me a piece ov nice steel an' all thuff I rarely find use fer da damn fn' beyond shavin' me chin. No, I much prefer deese." He finishes as he holds up his two shovel-sized hands. "And if what don't put da fear ov da Lady ov Graves in'er someone, I've still got plen'y ov Pain an' Sufferin' ter go around." Harold grins as he fishes two chunks of metal from out of his jacket pockets which he fits over each hand. The brass knuckles (though they can't really be called that as neither appears to be crafted of brass) cover the half-orc's knuckles perfectly and display the word PAIN on a dark steel-colored one and SUFFERING on the silvery one.

As he pulls off the implements from his hands and returns them to his pocket, Harold looks to Ileana's impressive claws and lets out a whistle, "Oy, those are some big nails, Ms. Ileana. Must be a downright nightmare usin' da privy."


Yes Sera there will be opportunities to increase the towns favor. Some will be a one time events while others will be continues. The continues opportunities are mostly a matter of offering something that the town needs/wants or integrating yourself. The doctor was going to offer his services which would have worked.

Half listening to the conversation around her, Sera turns toward Kendra , seeking to include her within a conversation. "Miss Lorrimor, I hold Professor Lorrimor in high regard, and he taught me much but I feel I still have much to learn. Is there, by perchance some other location in the city where I could potentially increase my store of knowledge on the topics I frequently discussed with him?"


Kendra Lorrimor
Kendra listens politely to Sera before going over the theoretical sources of Knowledge available to the group in the town Ravengro. Honestly I believe my fathers personal collection of tomes is the only one I can think of that would have a great deal of information concerning the undead. At least I assume that is the topic you are interested in. I know the local Temple of Pharasma has a great many books and histories but you would need permission from the head priest Vauran Grimburrow and you would need to do some pretty heavy convincing. Alendru
Ghoroven is a private tutor and owner of the Unfurling Scroll the local magic shop. I am sure he would let you use his library but his prices for the service are pretty steep. 10 gold a day if I recall and of coarse Ravengro Town Hall has some books but you would need to seek permission from the council since it isn't normally open for public use.

Once back at Kendra's home Kith will want to dig in and help Kendra sort through the Professor's library


Its late evening at this point in the game world Kith so I'm going to say that Kendra wouldn't be up to doing anything with the books when you return from dinner. If you are planning to use the books for research that's fine but it does require a healthy chunk of time to use a library on a knowledge check. Usually the better part of a day. If any one is interested in researching using the tomes just let me know what you are trying to look for and we will go from there.

In that case. Kith will call it a night and turn in when they get back
