The sign up for tomorrow's lottery opening ceremony takes place in the Sunburst Market in the center of the living city of Wati, between the Grand Mausoleum and Abadar's Sanctum of Silver and Gold.
Before you get to tomorrow's Lottery you have to be accepted into the drawing. Groups of 4 or more must submit their group's name and a token to be drawn. If your token isn't drawn you won't be part of the lottery. An array of adventuring groups and individuals mingle and try to size each other up. Some of you are even looking to join a group.
Four tables have been setup before the reflecting pool where priests in white robes are taking the names of team members and their emblem. The lines come and go as groups arrive or assemble out of the individuals in the square.
Along the edge of the market workers are busy putting up scaffolding to hang coverings across the square to provide shade. Sadly it doesn't look like it will be up today. The only shade is provided by groups of kids holding a 6'x10' shade between raised poles and offering relief from the heat for a few coppers.
Throngs of merchants push carts of drinks and refreshments while peddlers try to sell ropes, lanterns and other gear. Children run under foot like schools of fish trying to see all of the adventurers. Most of them wet from splashing through the reflecting pool.
A large, well built person walks in. Gathering a lot of stares. The way he looked was not a common sight. Many have only heard about him. Covered in fur, he looked like a walking Anubian Jackal. Those who did know him knew who he was. Anapa, one of the Paladins of Anubis. Loyal, friendly, but strict person. He smiled at those gathered and greeted them warmly.
Pleased to meet all of you, those who do not know me, do not be alarmed. My name is Anapa, servent and warrior of the great Anubis. Here to represent my friends and I in the expidition into the tombs
The kids ooh and aahh. The other nearby adventures, a group of women in white leather, seem impressed though one of them is giving you a doe eyed look like you are the cutest thing she has ever seen.
One merchant gives you some dates and asks for a blessing of anubis so that his son will return safe from the eastern deserts.
He smiles and waves at the kids. At the woman he gives his best smile
The finally to the merchant
I will pray and ask, but if he deems it fit for your son to join him, I will also ask that he will protect him on his path down the river
Those who do hear and listen, can not be sure if they heard him with their ears or in their heads
He gives her a huge honost smile
Akina! My friend! Good to see you have arrived! he gives her a huge hug
|
"Yeah I wish you would stop doing that. You attract beggars like flies to a piece of dung." Darius seemingly jokes as he shows a toothy smile. With a clawed hand he grabs Anaba by the wrist as a form of greeting and slaps Akina on the shoulder. "So how are you you old dog? And Akina, it seems like you still haven't grown much short stuff. Well at least not in height, it seems you are growing in other areas, hahaha!" Darius laughs when he observes the girl's chest area.
Darius is a brute of a tiefling, Huge and muscled with big horns, fangs, clawed feet and hands, and a long pointed tail whipping away annoying flies and beggars. Still you know his demeanor to be a friendly one. He only jokes like this with people he likes. Others usually shun him or run away scared because of his physique. So he normally disdains those scared little cats as he likes to call them, when he scares them off.
He used to fly solo because of this, but after he met a group of people that were not scared and appreciated him for his skills he quickly became friends with the group. Though his social skills are nothing to write home about, his prowess in battle is unequaled. He especially has a hatred towards casters and the like for they fight cowardly.
A redskinned man accompanied by a red skinned woman join the commotian.
He wears fancyful clothes and enjoys the stare of many a children. He carries a rapier on one side and a wicked pick on the other.
Moving forward he proudly announces.
"I am Faffnir Fireborn. I represent the Chosen of the elements. We seek glory and wisdom by exploring the ancient past."
He smirks
Those are the type that needs to hear my friend. Death comes to us all eventually. Best be prepared. Lest Anubis throws you overboard! he laughs. He knows he wont do that, everyone does, just a standing joke with him
He looks at his companions as they hear the new arrivals
See? It is not only me that does it. These new arrivals do it too
|

Darius looks down on the red skinned adventurers. He audibly says "Bah they look weak and tiny. Only those whose fists cannot do the talking, must impress others with words.
What is keeping the others anyway. This crowd of gawkers annoys me." Darius grumbles as he looks at several of the children looking awestruck at Anapa. He bends down towards them, shows his claws and fangs, and shouts "BOOOOOO" in a weakhearted effort to scare them off.
Anapa puts a hand on the tiefling
Don't do that. It helps nothing for us if we wish to gain entry into the tomb. There you can fight and scare to your heart's content, till then, try to be a bit more... restrained
The winds kick up and a man who seems more air than substance appears behind Faffnyr and Tayvara and mutters to Faffnyr Come on, let get signed up and get out of here. You know I don't like crowds. All those people staring at me. Let's get in and get out. The lottery is tomorrow not today.
The kids scream and run from the Teifling.... all of ten feet before they stop and stare again. Then a hulking ogre looking thing with leaves growing between the cracks of it's rocky walking with a angry looking ratkin catches their attention and they are off after them.
The Sunburst Market is like a river on this unforgivingly warm day. People come and go, seeking shelter from the burning copper disk in the sky and to test their luck. A mountain of a man slowly surveys the scene as he enters the square, scalemail rustling underneath traditional Garundi robes. The bright yellow and red robe and brightly colored turban betray his roots: anyone with knowledge of the Mwangi people will know that he hails from one of the war-loving Bekyar tribes of south-eastern Sargava. As they study him, he studies them and the man bee-lines towards his elemental kin: a fire-kissed couple and their wind-damned companion.
"Askaya Farar greets you", chin dipping down to show his respect and, as he resumes his introduction, the man spreads his arms while inclining his body,"and sees that the spirits smile upon us for it is rare to meet fellow elemental sons and daughters, let alone so many."
None as of yet, little guy probably got lost, or he's doing something i need to berate him over later the large hound sighs
I hope for the former, not the latter

Holding his hands up in defeat Darius sighs
"Fine, fine. I will get something to eat. Maybe that will ease my annoyance. Though I am still hoping a fight breaks out somewhere. Towns like these are so boring and orderly.
If you want I can take care of most of the competition?" Darius finishes with an evil grin. You know he jokes, but still if there was a motivation to do so he would.
He grabs a random gawking kid by the neck and rises him to eyelevel with one hand. "Kitty, tell me where I can find the best meatgriller around and I will give you a slice." He waits for the kids agreement and puts him down to follow him to a merchant.

The team of women in white finish signing up at the tables where the priests of Pharasma sit taking names and tokens of the various teams. They are all dressed the same. It's hard to tell what any of them are.
A team of six halflings riding war dogs comes into the square. They all carry lances and ride in formation scattering kids and peddlers before them. Their leader, a gruff looking halfling ignores everyone and everything but the sign-up tables.
A group of dirty men in red dyed clothing and armor eye the assembled adventurers with contempt. Their leader looks like he is sizing everyone up and points at various groups and mumbles something to his cohorts. When their eyes fall on your group and realizes he's seen he quickly looks past and points at the sky like he is talking about the weather before going back to talking about other groups.
Excuse me he nods at his companions and walks over to the pointing man
Excuse me, but if you have a problem with us, or any of these people here, i Suggest you say so. None here are to be judged by looks alone. Like those riding halfling, they are on a mission, i will speak to them when i am done here. So either keep your opinion to yourself, or at least be honorable and say it to our face
A slender, pale, man, who could have been confused for a human if not for his fox ears and tail had just purchased a cheap trinket when he looked to the rather audible group of people to find a familiar face. He moved the trinket to his bag before approaching Akina, his snow white hair seemingly shining in the light..
Greetings, Akina. From your letter I understand that you have need of me? He said with an odd charm about him. My apologies, am I interrupting a reunion of sorts?
Hepsa slowly looks up at Anapa. He seems a little unnerved but hides it quickly. His buddies step up close to him. They look ready to fight but make no move toward any weapons. You don't see any weapons though. He offers a big smile.
"We're just making a wager on which of you will make it out alive. Nothing to get worked up about." Hepsa says smoothly.
The rest of his band just eyes your group but make no other move.
Then make wagers, make a game, as long as you respect those who do meet their end, I see no harm in the wagers. Now that we sorted that out, I will have to go have a word with those rude halflings
He greets them then makes his way to the halflings
On his way there he notices the newcomer talking to Akina
Good day. I do not believe we have met. My name is Anapa. Servant of Anubis.
Gin perked his ears in interest at the stranger before him. Greetings, I am Gin Giichi, of Andoran, and you are correct in believing that we have not met until now. He said as he bowed courteously to Anapa.
He nods and smiles. Putting his hand over the man's head, not touching though
May I have your permission to check something? I promise this will not hurt in any way?
If he does get the go ahead, he will use Detect Undead on the newcomer. The result should be obvious
Thank you. I just needed to be sure of certain details
Always know what one plans to do before you allow them to do so. What do you desire to see? Gin said cautiously before stepping out from under Anapa's hand. He did not distrust the man, but he did not trust him either.
I would like to see your ties to the mortal realm he answers truthfully
I see. Very well, I have nothing to hide on that matter.Gin said as he placed his hands into the opposing arm's sleeve and watched Anapa.
To be allergic to animals would be most inconvenient for me. Gin said with a sway of his tail.
Having arrived in the background ryuu simply notes the actions and moods of the others in the area. Chuckling to himself at some of the antics. After a bit he will walk to the kitsune, fascinated to have a chance to speak to one of the elusive folk.
He will look first to anapa
I may not have magic but my gut tells me all here have strong ties to life, and it's frankly never been wrong before!
greetings, I am ryuu. A travelling vagabond to some, martial artist to others. Its a pleasure. Pardon my abruptness but I would like to speak to you. I've always been fascinated by... Your culture.
I would assume my kind are rare to these parts. I am Gin Giichi, and it would be a pleasure for me to answer at least a few questions that you have for me. Gin said, whilst courteously bowing to Ryuu, a genuine smile of good-nature spread across his face.
One can never be too careful with the undead, some have so much resemblance to life that they will be in your home before you know who and what they are, it will be too late. I am not saying all undead are evil. Some are here to finish last rites, or even as punishment from Anubis. But most are here because of dark and evil magic. It is my duty to send them back to the River and to Anubis
If everyone has finished their character and got the equipment they wanted I can move on to the lottery itself.
