I will be traveling from Saturday morning until Weds. night (driving up north to see the eclipse). I will try to check in at least once a day, but if I miss a post time, please feel free to bot me to keep the flow going. I don't want to hold up the game.
Hope we still have a game! HOpe you are doing okay, GM... I know depression can be hell... been there, (still there), so I get it.

Faeryl takes the left path and notes the architecture and the presence of sarcophagi, the engraved candlesticks and tray and most notably the family name... then the archway to the left... he returns back to the spot where the three were last together to meet back and report...
Sarcophagi lining the walls, and one in a place of prominence with engraved silver candlesticks and an engraved silver tray with the same motifs as the candlesticks and the name 'Gorvario' on it. This mean anything to you folks? Also, there was an archway on the left... I didn't explore further."

"Aye, cold iron is very effective against some demons... and I see no problem taking things of value from this place... I'm sure the demons took what they wanted... and while we are not demons, we're no saints either." He shrugs... looks around for anything that might have been missed...

Faeryl tests his leg on the ground, gingerly putting pressure on it, then more firmly... He nods his thanks to Locke... "I feel better already... your healing touch is much appreciated."

Just a heads up. I will be leaving Thursday morning for a 4-day retreat at the beach that lasts til Sunday afternoon, then I have a Sunday night concert to attend. I will take my computer with me, but I may not be able to post much til after I get home. Please feel free to bot me if I delay the game at all.
On Monday, my dog goes into surgery and when he returns home on Tuesday, I will be on a full-time home care regimen with him. He needs to be walked with a belly band whenever he needs to relieve himself or get up to get a drink or eat, so it will be a busy time. (He's an almost 100 lb st. bernard puppy, so he can't be carried for these things).
I'll be able to post regularly again starting Monday, but perhaps not as frequently as usual for a while.... Anyway, sorry in advance for any lack of posting on my part. I will do the best I can.

Faeryl shimmies up the wall and over, creeping up, then jumping down on the opposite side with a mid-leap flip, landing softly on his feet. He draws his weapons as he leaps and scowls at the drow and his two females performing a ritual. He quickly downs an extract. shield

Faeryl nods at Rai's assessment of 3 voices and readies an extract in one hand and his longsword in the other... He sneaks closer to a building entrance, trying to approach in such a way that his approach won't be seen from any available window... if such an approach is possible.

While waiting, when just the group is at hand, "What is this task we are set to do? Hunting drow, I am presuming from the talk so far, but it would be handy to know what our agenda is, why and for whom, if there's even a 'whom' involved... I'm all for hunting and killing the drow that have a stranglehold on this burg, if that is what we are doing... the people here are oppressed and afraid... that is no way to live."

Faeryl tries to note landmarks rather than the actual path and his unfamiliarity with the city gets the better of him and he gets good and confused by the meandering route.

When the others appear in the bar, Faeryl rises and walks over to join them... "Hello, sorry for disappearing like that, I was drawn to a small shop on the way in and learned some very interesting things about this town while doing so... perhaps later we can find someplace private to speak further about this... So for now, what are we up to and where are we going?"

in the veiled lady's shop:
Faeryl whispers back as quietly as he can, directly in her ear, "I will do my best..."
He examines the stone in his cupped hand to hide it from view, but only for a brief moment, then he closes his hand around it, gripping it tightly... He leans forward and kisses the veiled lady on the forehead and then looks deeply into her eyes and nods to her. "I'll try to come back for sure, since you ask so nicely.. Perhaps I will bring my friends as well."
Then he slips out of the shop and heads off to find his friends. When he gets to the bar, he finds a dark corner to sit and nurse an ale while waiting. Under the table, he slips the stone into a pouch and then, under cover of darkness, tucks the pouch under his shirt.

in the veiled lady's shop:
"Well, I think I must try to find my friends now... I'm sure they've moved on without me and I have no idea where to look, but I will find them. I thank you for your time and speaking frankly with me... I'm sorry for any distress I caused you. I wish I had more money to spend here, but perhaps I will be back later with something of value to for your fine wares... until then, I will leave you with this as remuneration for your time and information. I assume if the information is worth something to me, and it is, then it must be worth something to you as well. Good day and be safe." He hands her a small pouch of coins totalling about 5 gp, which is all I have recorded for him, as he's received no gold since he began playing... or I missed a post or two.
He slips outside of the shop.
outside the shop:
Faeryl begins looking for Arsil and company, checking out their tracks if he can find them, or simply asking locals about sightings of the, or some combination of the two methods.

in the veiled lady's shop:
"I'm sure we can come to an agreement as to my silence... tell me about these 'other creations' of theirs and more about these drow... why did they come here, and why do they stay if most folk are dead or gone... and how you draw many customers if so few are left."

in the veiled lady's shop:
Faeryl lofts a brow and shakes his head... he replies sotto voce: "Tell me about the other drow, eh? and your wares... in that order please." He looks at her with unveiled intensity, as if compelling her to speak... though he has no power to do so.

He does look around, not just at the wares, but for anyone that might be observing them, perhaps a 'master'?

Faeryl will pay the 3 gp without demur and enter, following Arsil.. though he does pause and show interest in the veiled lady. Though not particularly interested in her wares, he steps closer and peers inside...
"I'll be along shortly," he says to the others as they continue on without him.
"Hello, miss. What do you sell here?" he says to the woman.
