[PFS] Season 0 run, mixed with Dragon's Demand

Game Master Irish202

Tereze looks at the skirts and Pettycoats as well. Most likely something with a corset to enhance her hourglass figure.
Mistress Janana, do you have this in a royal blue?

Something in this general direction. But with fuller skirts, and appropriate materials, as I doubt they had rayon or silk here ;)

Cassandra chuckles.

"Do i remind you of an acquaintance?"

She walks towards another wooden tailor's dummy behind the counter.
"Matter of fact, i have something in such a fashion.
I made it from the last delivery's materials, in its color it's the only one i have."

She carefully moves the dummy into sight.
"Is it what you were looking for?"

"If you don't mind me asking, is it to show off for someone?
Or is it for something to go to?"

I couldn't find a proper pic, though.

No, I just assumed you were Mistress Hanata from ze sign zat says "Hanata's Stitches"... Was I wrong?

As for the dresses, we have been invited to dine with ze Baroness tonight, and we did not want to insult her. If we were to impress ze Elf who is interested in Gwen.. She smiles slyly well zat would be a bonus would you not agree?

A smile slowly appears on Fiona's place as the shopkeeper helps her try the two dresses. "I like this one. It's so supple and soft. I've seen some noblewomen wear something like this, but never stopped by one of these shops to try it on myself. Thank you Tereze, for bringing us here."

As for Fiona, I looked around for pictures, and this one was okay but the one Tereze found was better. Fiona'll go for the second dress.

This is the one I always picture when I think of Fiona.

Gwen takes a moment to fish out a thin banded golden ring with a lotus design in blue opals. "This is the only golden ring that I have. I do have a few copper and one of bronze." (There are links in her profile for all the rings if you're interested.) She looks around the room, unsure of what to pick; however, she finds her eyes constantly drawn to one dress in particular... She looks at Fiona and Tereze and then sighs. "I'm not very good at this..."

When talk of Ery comes up, she sighs exasperatedly. "Perhaps I should put mud in my hair and wear a burlap sac! He already pursues me with reckless abandon and that's after seeing me slogging through sewers and reeking of waste." She rubs at the back of her head where the small dent remains from the nearly deadly blow from the harpy in the desert where Ery had died protecting her. "And yet, I can never repay him for what he did back in the desert."

Randomly, the elf sneezes.

I wonder how many of us see Ery's culture reference here.
:)

No, I just assumed you were Mistress Hanata from ze sign zat says "Hanata's Stitches"... Was I wrong?

"No, you're not wrong. But you called me Janana. Unless it's a word for tailoress where you're from, where is that, by the way, you have an unusual accent.

Upon mention that a man is involved, Cassandra smiles.
"An elf? Haha, the last elf i traveled with, was one of those wizardly intellectual types. Versed in linguistics, but too much of a prude when it came to getting his hands and clothes dirty when push came to shove.
As long as they don't act haughty and superior, they're alright."

Cassandra noticed the returning gaze from Gwen upon the dress.
"Oh, you fancy that one, do you?
Come here, i've got a mirror if you want to try it on."

Locke looks sideways as Ery suddenly sneezes.

"Don't tell me you are allergic to your own weeds?
That'd be bad if we have to be stealthy."

Ery gave a shrug, "I'm sure its just an adaptation thing. I'm excited that I don't have to eat any more...but I sense I'm going to miss sleeping." The elf let out a sigh.
"And their not weeds! You masked bastard... Their verdant locks. Your just jealous that I can exisist sololy off the sun." He folded his arms over his chest, looking away from locke in an melodramatic feign of hurt. bluff to feign emotional wounds: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Sense soft spot: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12
Locke wasn't one to easily read people, being on odd jobs so often.

"A shame then, since if you're content with the sun, any future delicious cooking the girls pick up, will be portioned to the ones who need normal food."

(Teasing laugh)

"I think it'll come in handy."
Urbar says to Locke and Ery.
"And besides, some spices would come in handy for our food."
He adds a moment later.
"If we put some manure on your head and arms, will the plants grow faster? There's plenty around and such an ability should not be wasted."
Urbar says with a slight smile on his face.

Ery takes to his feet quickly, knocking the chair he sat on to the floor behind him. He glares at Urbar then thrusts a hand foreward, letting loose a tangle vine in hopes to knock the ranger off his poo-filled high horse.
Feint a trip to something other than urbar: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
Trip attempt: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Urbar jumps up as Ery feints, not being able to react to the second attack. His wolf jumps up as the vines wrap around his ankles. The vines seem unable to trip him and he suddenly starts laughing.
"Just kidding!"
He says with a devious grin, his wolf calming down again.

Ery grumbles to himself, sitting back down.

"No, you're not wrong. But you called me Janana.

Did I? I am sorry, and no offense was intended. It is zis place. Ze shop reminds me very much of a wagon I used to love to hide in back in Verisia.

She pauses for a moment.
But zat was a long time ago.... we must not live in ze past. Rather we should enjoy today, right? . She smiles and grabs the dress, shift, Pettycoats and corset. If you do not mind I will try zis one on. Gwen, Fiona you should try yours on too.

Without waiting for a response she disappears to change.

She returns a few minutes later wearing the dress.
What do you all think?. She says as she twirls to give everyone a good view of the dress.

I think it needs some accents and maybe my hair should be up or in ringlets. . She turns to Cassandra Do you know where we can get that around here?

Cassandra smiles.
"That's not a problem. If it's no big scale things, i can add decorations if you will wait a bit, not too long, not to worry."

"I do.
There's a hair dresser nearby, goes by the name of Sophia, if you wish to go for ringlets.
Aside from her eccentric behavior, she's alright.
Personally i think smooth hair is more stylish, as it is more flexible for hair styles, but that's a matter of taste."

.."But..if it's keeping your hair up, that you're looking for, i have something else."

She walks back towards a cupboard.
"It's something i traded before i stranded here.
Since i'm not going to any fancy occasions, you'd be better off using them."

When she comes back, the back of her own hair is kept up, with two decorative sticks.

Hairstyle from:

the front

the back
- the butterflies, if you want.

"Something from back home."
When you're done observing it, she pulls them out smoothly, and her hair fails smooth down again.

My hair will not hold a curl for more then 24 hours. So zose "hair sticks" are actually a good idea. I will take zem. But at least for tonight, I want to dress up and do somezing different with my hair. So I will visit zis Sophia as soon as we are done here. Plus I zink Fiona may benefit from a trim on her hair too. Zat is if you are upfor zat Fiona

I'll leave Steph to determine what the outfit will cost.

"Alright.
Though i'll have to show you how to effectively use them."

Cassandra turns with her back towards Tereze.
Showing a step by step, Cassandra shows how you can do it by yourself.

"And you merely need to twist slightly to their respective sides and pull out."

We have to stick with official Pathfinder stuff for PFS so the outfit will have to come from this list of outfits. I think the noble's outfit best fits what you're trying to achieve? Though you can add less accessories than the description mentions you'll need to look like a noble, because you're not necessarily trying to look like nobles.

Actually, I think the Courtier's outfit might be the best fit for us. What do you think, Steph? Gwen can supply the requisite 50gp in jewelry as well!

Gwen nods and runs her fingers over the soft cloth of the dress before disappearing into a changing room. After what seems to be an extraordinary amount of time, Gwen finally exits the room... looking like a fish out of water in the beautiful dress. She looks at Fiona and Tereze. "Do I look ridiculous?" She asks sheepishly.

I agree, I was going more for the coutier's outfit. We are trying to impress not flaunt wealth. And Tereze will spend the 50 gold on jewelry as well and will cover Fiona if she decides not to buy it.

Gwen, ze dress looks wonderful. It looks good on you, but it could look gorgeous if you let it. Relax, stand tall, zrow your shoulders back and smile. Half of looking amazing is confidence.

She thinks for a moment then says:
Lets try zis. Step back into ze dressing room and zen pretend you are not walking out to show us a dress, walk out like you are approaching a wrestling ring where some nobody has challenged you. When you walk out zis time, Feel like You know you own ze ring and you are going to have fun with zis.

Ery leans back in his chair, tilting it. His hands move to the back o fhis head for support as he looks up at the ceiling.
"So. If we wanted some kind of nobility title, would you be the one to grant/arrange such a thing, Baroness?"

Gwen looks at Tereze like she's daft for a moment, but then sighs. "Alright then... I'll try." She steps back into the changing room and looks at herself in the mirror. 'You can do this. You've wrestled a giant ape to the ground, this is nothing compared to everything you've done so far.' It takes several more minutes before she can finally muster up the courage to do as Tereze suggests and she steps through the curtain with a strut; however, she steps upon the hem of the dress and stumbles a little. She sighs, but doesn't give up and walks up to Fiona and Tereze with a grin on her face. "I think I understand what you mean, Tereze, but how do I walk in this thing without tripping?"

The courtier's outfit indeed seems to match your ideas better.

@Ery: I'm going to pretend the baroness hasn't shown up yet and you're currently in the waiting room. Else it'd mean the girls are letting the baroness wait, which would be a grave insult. I can add a butler though, if you want to talk to someone? :P

Ah, alright. Scratch post then. So far its just Urbar and myself poking each-other and Locke being somber. I getchya.

Fiona smiles impishly as she goes on to try the green dress she liked. After a few moments she calls the tailor for help putting it on, and shortly afterwards comes out, clearly happier than she'd been in a while. She looks at herself in the mirror several times, as if to remember the sight. She ignores the fact that her gait is a bit awkward, and pays Cassandra for the dress, thanking her again. "This is really nice. I didn't expect it to feel so good. I feel like one of the princesses in the fairy tales I used to read! Thank you all!" She then hugs each of the other women in turn, a somewhat unusual outburst of emotion for her usual introvert self.

Gwen, you can take slightly shorter steps, or you can simply lift ze hem of your dress an inch or two when you walk. Both will stop ze chance zat you trip.

She pulls out her coin purse and says:
Come let us finish here and head over to zis Sophia and get ready for dinner.

She pays for the dress and Chopsticks. Once everyone is done she leads the girls to Sophia.

"You're welcome, have a good day."

Cassandra waves you goodbye.

Gwen and Fiona, I am going in to get my hair done since it has finally grown back. Do you wish to join me?

Gwen also thanks the shop owner after payment has been arranged and bids her farewell. "I'd love to! This is a side of me, that I've never really explored." Something about it just felt right, perhaps that was Falayna shining down her approval upon Gwen for exploring her own femininity or just something else entirely, but it made the young woman feel great.

Will Ery recognize femmy Gwen?"

I don't have an alias by that name, but here goes anyway :)

(Sound of a bell)

When the girl step into the haircut shop, a sweet but not unpleasant smell welcomes them. Looking up from someone just having paid, a fairly young blonde greets you with a wave of the hand.

"Ah, new faces. And 'ow may Sophia 'elp you?
You 'ave come for a 'aircut, or per'aps a flask of shampoo?"

The eccentricity Cassandra spoke of, manifests itself in Sophia quickly switching eye contact between the three of you several times over.

Fiona quickly pays Cassandra and heads after Tereze and Gwen, but prefers not to do her hair. This is too quickly for me. I need some more time to get used to all this, she thinks to herself. "I'll get my hair done some other time, we're short on time to meet the baronness and I don't really feel like doing it now."

Outside the shop Tereze says:
No problem Fiona I understand completely. Will you wait for us at ze inn? Zen we can join you in about an hour and make our way to dinner together. Does zat sound like an acceptable plan?

Once they have plans in place she heads into the shop.

Good afternoon Sophia, I am Tereze and zis is Gwen. We have been invited to dine with ze Barroness tonight. Do you zink you can fix our hair to be something suitable for ze occasion?

Gwen probably only needs some help doing up her hair, while I will need a little more help.

She takes off her Kapenia and turns around to show the section of hair that is shorter then the rest.

I had an accident zat made me lose some hair a while ago. Do you zink you can disguise zis in whatever you do? I would love Ringlets for tonight, but am open to suggestions.

Sophia's eyes glimmer with the request and what it is for.

"Ah? You are going to see zee baroness? 'ow lovely." OvO

She takes a look at the short part of your hair.

"Oh non, non, what a shame, such pretty 'air.
But i 'ave some pictures of what i can do for you."

She shows you some short smooth styles first.
Picture #1

Picture #2

Picture #3

Picture #4
"I can put more accent on zee longer part of zee 'air, while covering some of zee back with part a of your longer 'airs."

She then shows a picture of ringlets with a ponytail.
Picture #1
But a bit shorter on the back.

"I can make ringlets of zee long parts, and tie eet togezzer at zee back. Zay will of course bee slightly shorter."

Tereze identifies the first straight style as her preferred direction untill she sees the ponytail.
Zis one is definantly what I want for tonight. It looks perfect!

"Oh, wonderful! I'll start right away.
If you would take a seat 'ere."

Sophia's excited and grabs for a pair of scissors, a comb and a pleasant smelling ointment, water and a cloth sheet.

(Cue wash dry & cut)

Afterwards, she takes a mirror and shows you the result.

Zank you Sophia, zis looks wonderful! What do I owe you for zis?

"Two silvers, you pretty.
And if you please, tell me 'ow zee evening was, oui?"

Zank you, I sure will.
She leaves 3 silver on the counter.

As Step seems almost ready to start again, I'm going to suggest that we hand wave the rest of this, and say that we collect Fiona and all three girls show up at the manner dressed to the nines (dresses, jewelry and (for T and G)hair done) We can pick up the roleplaying when we join the boys.

I was going to suggest continuing the main story this Monday. You'll have some time to write your purchases and whatnot down on your chronicle sheets while conversing with the baroness, who will give you another assignment during dinner.

Gwen looks at herself in the mirror, staring at the visage looking back, not really recognizing the woman. "Yes, let us go before I lose my nerve!" Part of her hated to admit that she enjoyed this new aspect, but perhaps it was time to ignore that part of her life. Despite Ery's lighthearted attempts, this wasn't like back home where she was relentlessly pressured into marriage by every bored woman and pursued by every lad... She takes a deep breath and winks at Tereze, suddenly noticing the low cut of her dress and the way her hair tumbled down her soft neck...

Gwen rapidly averts of her eyes from Tereze, blushes suddenly, and clears her throat. "Um, shall we be going then?" She quickly steps out in front of her friends. 'Idiot...'

The purchases could also be calculated into our next chronicle, right?

I put my purchases on my spread sheet for this chronicle sheet.

Tereze and Gwen stop by the inn to meet up with Fiona then head to dinner.
Tereze glides into the room with her head held high. As she sweeps into the room she scans the men who are already there.

She nods at Locke and then her eyes widen slightly and she lets out an exasperated whisper:
Green? Why would he dye it green?

Locke nods back at Tereze when she steps in.

"You're looking pretty there, Tereze, classy."

"It has to match the tea leaves."

(Mischievous smile behind mask, accompanied by a teasing laugh)

It has to match... Okay, I do not think I want to know.

Eyes settling on Urbar she exclaims:
Wait, where did you get the cute dog!?!?

She glides over and gently reaches out to pet the wolf.
Does she have a name?

Gwen follows behind Tereze with a slight strut in her step and head held high with a look on her face that dares one of them men to say something... When her eyes land on Ery's green high she stops and stares. "Ery... Why do you have green hair?"
