Okay, you all see it. A strange man walks past you and stays noticeable in the crowd.

Intrigued, Breacher responds. "Hmm. I find myself at in-betweens at present. Idleness is the Traveler's wayfinder; may I accompany..." He trails off as he nitices several of the group seem to be staring past him, so Breacher turns and scans the street himself.

Can you be a little clearer on how he is strange? An appearance thing, the way he's behaving or some unknown feeling about him?


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

He looks unearthly beautiful, with a little red tinge to his skin. He wears clothes that are revealing. Specifically, he wears clothes that reveal his chest and belly button. But keeps his legs, bottom, and sides of his chest covered. He wears khyber shards in his hair, which is black with a blue tint to it. He nearly has the perfect body, but has an overall masculine look.


Clearly not human? Is he looking at anybody in particular?

Completely blind to the newcomer's intentions!

Faced with such an impressive man and having some sense of propriety, Irus the Beggar takes a step back, allowing his betters to handle the situation.

"That male is dressed an an unusual manner and is extremely symetrical. Are any of you previously acquanted with him?".

Gerryt takes a good long hard look at the man trying to pick up some hints about him from his demeanor. Is he in a hurry or taking his time? Looking around paying attention to anything in particular? Look like he is a stranger here, or completely in his element? Does he carry himself in a way that displays pride or humility? etc...?

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24


Breacher looks the person over. "Not me, sorry. I don't know anyone in this town." He looks both ways up the street, looking for anything of note either the way the man came, or the way he's headed.

He walks with a proud sense of who he is. He's paying attention to some signs, as if he's looking for a good tavern. He carries himself as he is taking his time. As if no one can hurt him. He is also heading to the same tavern that Irus wanted to take your more beautiful companion to.

Citlckhad watches the strange man, wanting to determine if he is a threat to the town or the people in it, looking at clothes, posture and demeanor.

Spoiler:
You recognize him as an Inspired.

Perplexed and suspicious, Irus looks around to make see if the odd newcomer is alone, or if others are watching over him.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Then, unless the good people that he is guiding decide otherwise, he surreptitiously invites them to continue on their way first to deliver the medicine, and then to the tavern of ill-repute, for ale and good stories.

Do we see a look of recognition in Citlackhad's eyes? If so, does the strange man in the street also notice Citlackhad's realization?


M Kalashtar Soulknife (Shielded Blade) 1

Citlackhads eyes narrow as he looks at the Inspired sauntering through the kalashtar town, wondering whether anyone else recognized him for the abomination he is.

"Be wary, that man is an inspired from Sarlona." Citlackhad whispers.


Knifemaster 17. HP: 188/199. AC 30, FF 23, Touch 22 Fort +17, Ref +24, Will +14. BAB 12. CMB 14, CMD 31. Initiative +7. Perception +28

Gramaton doesn't entirely understand but becomes more wary of the mysterious figure indicated by Citlackhad.


Seeing that the red-skinned man seems to be headed for the very same tavern to which Irus intended to lead the group, the beggar turns to the Halfling, and suggests in a conversational, albeit discreet manner: "perhaps you would like to have a drink and some food before going about your business?

Not taking his eyes off the man that has so distinctly captured the attention of his new companions, Gerrytt answers the beggar.

Um... Iv’e been given one task. And that’s to deliver my healing supplies. I need to get that done before eating and drinking. But if you guys need to watch whatever that guy is I think I’ll be okay on my own.


"I said I would guide you, and it's on the way," the beggar says, forgetting all about the red-skinned man.

"It really isn't much of a detour," he reassures the others before showing them the way forward.


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

Irus, give me a knowledge local check, again.

Woman Half Elf Master Summoner 1 | HP 9/9 | AC12 FF12 T10 | F+1 R+2 W+4 | Init +4 Perc +2

"I wonder of inspired means he's a good singer..." the half-elf wonders aloud while following the guide.

"What are the common characteristics and factional leanings of an Inspired, I do not believe I have previously encountered one but not the seriousness by Citlackhad to the male's presence."

Noted. Thanks for the clarification. That being said, do I know where to lead Gerrytt for his delivery?


"I too, am unfamiliar with the classification of that man as 'Inspired.'" Breacher looks over the man; nothing seems to be amiss, but why are his teeth on edge? Okay, he thinks to himself, I don't have teeth, but there have to be allowances for figure of speech.


"It's best to avoid them," Irus councils, clearly uncomfortable. "Most people just look the other way. They're everywhere, listening. And they don't take kindly to people meddling in their affairs."

The beggar leads the way to deliver the medicine...

The halfling currently riding his dinosaur so that he is at eye level with the others in the party tilts his head listening to the beggar. Then he gets a wry smile...

Kinda reminds me of a Compy Always around, waiting for scraps of food, sometimes wanting attention, but only when they want it.


M Kalashtar Soulknife (Shielded Blade) 1

How much does Citlackhad know about the Inspired and the Quori? I'm not actually sure what is common knowledge among the kalashtar.

"I know someone else who may know something... I'll ask next opportunity I get," Jess says.

Gramaton stays quiet for the moment but makes a mental note to ask about 'inspired' later. He looks at their beggar guide.

That could take pages. So lets say some basic points.

* All Kalashtar know that the Inspired are their enemies. The Inspired are bad guys who had driven the Kalashtar to the Material Plane after a war in Dal Quor.
* The Inspired Quori are jealous of the Kalashtar Quori that they driven out. Almost all of them are evil to some degree. There are precious few regular Quori that are not. But all the Quori in Dal Quor feel that the Kalashtar Quori betrayed them.
* The Kalashtar are in a secret war to bring light to the world. Most of the time, they do this with meditation, but some are warriors which take a more proactive stance against the Quori by fighting them. These are shadow warriors.

I suggest picking up Races of Eberron from DriveThru to better understand this from a roleplaying perspective.


M Kalashtar Soulknife (Shielded Blade) 1

Citlackhad grimaces. "The Inspired are the enemies of the kalashtar and arguably all of Ebberon. They are the mortal servants of the Quori, fiends from the Plane of Dreams. They should not be here."


While continuing to lead the group forward, Irus shrugs as if to say: not my concern. But clearly, there is more to it for this common beggar...

"Is there a local figure who should be informed? I am not familiar with the expected protocol in this situation.


Woman Half Elf Master Summoner 1 | HP 9/9 | AC12 FF12 T10 | F+1 R+2 W+4 | Init +4 Perc +2

"Give me a minute, I want to check with someone."

Jessilel begins summoning her Eidolon.


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

The Eidolon comes in time, ready to serve.


Woman Half Elf Master Summoner 1 | HP 9/9 | AC12 FF12 T10 | F+1 R+2 W+4 | Init +4 Perc +2

There's a shimmer in the air as Gyira forms from the bottom up- a serpentine tail transitioning into a male humanoid torso, which still has some lightly reflective scales. Small vestigial wings, useless for flying but indicative of his nature akin to a Lillend or Coautl. Chiseled abs. A bow slung across his back. Short green hair slicked back into spikes. An angel of chaotic nature, an Azata, sculpted by Jessilel into an attractive male form.

Gyira looks around, "We're not far from that hospital, maybe you finally decided to try being helpfu-"

"Not now, I have a question. You're a planar sort, do you know the Inspired? The Quori?" Jessilel interrupts.

"The Quori? I've heard of them and know they're bad news, but I can't say I've visited the Plane of Dreams, at least not in an incarnation I can recall."

"So you're useless here," Jessilel claps and turns to the others, [b]"Sorry for wasting your time!" she apologizes while Gyira makes an annoyed noise at the dismissal and stares daggers.


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

The Eidolon leaves, wondering why and going in a proud huff. As evident of his sculpting, he does have precious pride after all.


Woman Half Elf Master Summoner 1 | HP 9/9 | AC12 FF12 T10 | F+1 R+2 W+4 | Init +4 Perc +2

(That wasn't a dismissal-dismissal, she's just being dismissive while keeping him around)


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

oh, sorry.


Breacher looks on, impressed by the being's entrance an exit. After it leaves, he asks the half-elven woman, "Was that a creation, a pattern, or an actual being summoned from another world?"


Woman Half Elf Master Summoner 1 | HP 9/9 | AC12 FF12 T10 | F+1 R+2 W+4 | Init +4 Perc +2

Gyira, who doesn't leave, says, "I'm an Azata, from Syrania originally," he names his plane.

"My assistant," says Jessilel.

"Partner," he corrects.

Or an illusion Gramaton thinks to himself, seeing a potential threat in the area and had such trickery at his disposal he would use it to mislead people about his strength and abilities.


Rogue Bandit Knife Master 1 | HP 8/8 | AC13 FF10 T13 | F+0 R+5 W+1 | Init +3 Perc +5

Arriving at destination?


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

y7ep. You now arrived at your destination. The place that needed the herbs in the first place. You passed by the inn so far. Now Gerrit can deliver his herbs.


"It's over here," the beggar indicates the place to the halfling, stepping aside to allow him to deliver the herbs.
