"Honestly I just wanna know what everybody's up to around here. Seems like there's a lot going on. Invasions, magic... invasions..." Marckus looks like he's thinking but also looks a little bit like he's stuck.


The Drow lady looks at you like you are insane. "Invasion? What invasion? They want to drop a sky rock on Kyonin. Good thing your masters above sent you because they really have no clue. Who are your masters anyway?"

"The plans seems to revolve around a cataclysm of epic proportions. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies ... Rivers and seas boiling ... Forty years of darkness ... Earthquakes, volcanoes... The dead rising from the grave .... Human sacrifice ... dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!"

"All of this to settle petty squabbles over who lives in the light and who lives in darkness."


"Yes, that's closer to the truth, if a bit hyperbolic. Still, this is to be an exchange of information. If you want more, answer. "

I'm looking around at my mates and trying to follow the conversation but still look confused like I just didn't get the memo of what we are all doing here and who this lady is. Although I'm strangely attracted to her elf looking bits which I'm not sure I can explain properly. I may have to pray to my goddess for guidance and contrition. Or was it attrition or nutrition I can't remember I'm a little befuddled but my stomach starts growling now that I start thinking about nutrition and food and I can see all the delicious looking food on the table.

I start snacking on some food and try to keep my thoughts pure and really stop staring at the elf lady bits that look so soft, some pointy, some round like melons .... bad thoughts.

"Our primary concern is making sure a big chunk of star iron doesn't destroy the tavern we just acquired before we get a chance to fix it up nice." Rags supplies helpfully.

Rags then cocks his head and listens as Trash Panda stands on his hind legs and chitters animatedly.

The witch points to the bedraggled creature on his shoulder and continues "He says the totem spirit of the raccoon god sent him to save the world....."


"Ah, now self interest. There's a motive I can understand. Perhaps we're not all that different. "

Then you translate for trash panda and she facepalms and mutters under her breath "Of course anyone who would do this mission had to be insane..."

Looking resigned to dealing with madmen, she continues.
"The head of House Azrinae, Allevrah, is at the heart of the plot to pull down stars to smite the surface world. "

"Now quid pro quo, how exactly did you manage to come about such convincing disguises?"


Bueler? Bueler?

"I was a little fuzzy on the technical details, but I believe a necromancer transferred our souls into the bodies of deceased drow candidates." Rags tells the wizardress.

"It happened really fast and I'm a little fuzzy on the 'can you undo this' part of the details. If that turns out to be a problem, then we're going to have to relocate the bar underground and work on perfecting our evil sneers."

"For most of this merry band of barkeeps, these new bodies are an improvement, so I'm sure it'll be alright if we have to become full time dark elves after we prevent the impending apocalypse."

"By the way, the Raccoon god apparently frowned on transferring the consciousness of his chosen avatar into a new vessel. So we're stuck with Trash Panda here for the duration."


"Hmm, fascinating. That's a neat trick I will have to investigate. Now as to the falling rocks, it appears to be some ancient Aboleth magic that the Azrinaes managed to recover somewhere. It will pull the stars (ok rocks) from the sky. I will say, that makes living underground all the more appealing. Lots of roof overhead down here. "

"Now one more question before I request a favor of you. Do you have any allies in the city? How many?"

"The hell's an Aboletus?" wonders Kronug before trying to answer the question "Well, we've been keeping a low profile because I want to die in battle not poisonstabbed during my sleep, but you could say we are 'acquainted' with House Vonnarc and that merchant guy Gadak that tried to rob us, but he seemed really sorry and scared afterwards."


There's also the riding lizard lady. Gadak isn't a merchant, he's a servant in house Vonnarc which isn't in the city.

"I'm pretty sure some of the ladies around here are into me." Marckus says with a casual non-martial flex.
"But what are you up to? You said we might be doing the same stuff."


She looks at Marckus with a bored expression. "You can't lick your eyebrows can you?"

Alicavniss slowly strokes the ngertips of her dark steel gauntlet as she speaks.“I believe there’s much we can do for one another. You seek the Azrinae secrets, and in Zirnakaynin, secrets hide better than anywhere in your surface world. What you want to know of the Azrinae plot against your world will surely take time to uncover, but I am confident that I have agents capable of revealing what you seek.
“While we wait, I know of a diversion you’d be particularly well suited to. In the city, on the plateau of Arshyrvhar near the Pale Market, lies an unseemly den of debauchees known as ‘Venom Kiss.’ The place is a charnel house for souls, and I regret to admit that even my students are from time to time not immune to its temptations. One of my most promising apprentices has proven himself quite susceptible.
“Go there. Seek out the owner, a petty mercenary who calls himself Orvignato, and see that his corruptions never foul another noble soul. Do this for me, and I assure you that by the time you return I’ll possess the information you seek. The place has a passphrase for entry—my sources tell me the current one is ‘Sh’blu sent me. The phrase changes often— you might wish to make haste to Venom Kiss as soon as we are done here as a result."

I'm pretty sure Drolthar can do that eyebrow trick, but he does some nasty Richard Gere stuff with his familiar so I'm not sure if you'll still be interested

back to business......Are there any defenses of note that we should be aware of for our foray into the Venom Kiss


"Do I look like your mission briefer? No, I"m the one who has you all by the short hairs. I'd suggest you go find out what you need to do the task I demand and do it with haste. Now, get out of my sight. I've only so much patience. "

To the group:
"Let us head to the Venom Kiss and seek out Orvignato.

To her:
"It was a real pleasure m'lady to look upon you today. I look forward to the next time I will have the pleasure of gazing at the First Daughter."

I spend an uncomfortably long moment leering at her one last time before we depart. My blood is visibly stirred and I feel a little light headed.


She glares at the pervy cleric as you leave the room.

Ok, you now have your marching orders. You head into the city to do your mission.

Situated on the western edge of Ovessia, Zirnakaynin’s lavish Pale Market, Venom Kiss caters to every vice. A tavern, drug den, brothel, torture hall, and worse, in Venom Kiss a patron can buy any debauchery he wishes if he has the coin.

Arching blades form a crown around the crimson domed heights of this gaudy, glistening festhall. Arcane flames flare to life and dim to embers across its stone surfaces, runes and sinister symbols flashing with profane intent. Bordered by reliefs of unclad drow dancers, a single simple door with two narrow sliding windows serves as the only obvious entryway.

Dronug gestures the rest to do a squad hug thingy to speak unnoticed.

"Here's the plan: once we are inside, we start a brawl and kill them all... Any questions?"

If anybody suggest that the plan -while beautifully simple and mastermindly workable- might be a mess, the kellid suggests a different strategy "We could split til we spot him then squadgank his ass into oblivion, but I fancy the brawl one personally."

"The pretty lady didn't say we had to kill anyone. Can't we just go in and talk to the owner and persuade him to stop his corrupting ways."

Thinking to myself: You give a barbarian/brawler/bloodrager a sword and all they can think of is to hit things with it.

"Pharasma will call him in due time, who are we to question her will and hasten his travel to the bone yard."

I'm building up a head of steam and beginning to launch into a very lengthy sermon unless someone stops me.

"No reason to sneak. We know the password, I need a drink, and my raccoon wants to get laid."

Rags leads the group into the den of ill repute.


You walk up to the door. There are two large bouncers on either side. They eye you suspiciously.

You knock and say the password in Undercommon.

The door is opened and you are admitted.

A choking, acrid haze pervades this noisy taproom, forming dreamy auras around its strangely colored lantern. In alcoved booths, pillow strewn corners, and along a polished iron bar, drow of all social walks and in all states of undress avail themselves decadences too numerous and perverse to list. From a second floor balcony—accessible by a flight of sparkling metal stairs—comes a chorus of pleasure and pain filled shrieks.

There's quite a number of patrons and staff present.
