I'm still waiting to see what's going on with my part as well.

Without standing or moving, Indir says "Of course, your majesty." As she moved to make her speech, Indir would have followed in the middle of the crowd that trailed the princess, and nodded along at her speech, staying roughly in the middle of the pack of gathered nobles, the better to avoid too much attention.
Seeing the others spread out and mingle, Indir makes his way to the Senate Courtyard , ostensibly to look at flowers, but in reality to mingle among the powerful. As he is walking, he spots Lady Morella, a long-time mainstay at court and rumored friend of the Pathfinder Society. She will make a good shield to allow me to perform my other duties this evening. I should speak to her now, before she is surrounded by others. Affixing a pleasantly surprised look on his face, he deftly bows and says "Lady Morella, I believe? I admit that I have wanted to make your acquaintance for some time now. There are quite a few...." Indir's voice trails off as he notices the Princess standing slightly off to his right and (now) behind him. She would be much more like a sword than a shield! Indir thought to himself, momentarily agag. He did not become the rather smooth man that he is today by allowing himself to gape like gutter-trash, however. He gracefully spins and drops to one knee, saying "Your highness. Please excuse my rude behavior. I must admit that I did not see you, although it is clearly due to my having been struck blind by your sheer radiance." he says, eyes firmly affixed on the ground.
Indir follows, a bemused look on his face. "My dear lady, had you wanted to get me alone into a closet, you had but to ask..." says Indir as he follows the woman into the room.
"Of course, I would be more than happy to assist in any way that I can." says Indir as he uses his Hypnotic Stare on her. "You are, however, mistaken about me having companions. I was just speaking to the Duke, as I saw him in line and only wanted to offer my greetings. I am sadly unaccompanied, but was hoping to find companionship once inside."
Indir, meanwhile, decides to try an alternate gambit. Seeing a Duke he knows close to the front of the line, he will wave and say "Duke Hensford. Lovely to see you here!" Indir will then make small talk for a moment, before saying "Well, your worship, I believe I will make my way to the back of the line, as is proper." then pause expectantly.
Indir is perfect, and thusly doesn't need anything.
Indir also puts one of the pins on his outfit, finding just the right spot to have it be the subdued focal point of his entire outfit. Indir is wearing more-or-less the same outfit as before, but the colors of his outfit have changed.
"I am indeed from the great nation of Katapesh." says Indir with a sitting bow and flourish of his hands. "As to my trip here, it's a rather sad affair. I was coming both as to secure certain trade agreements and to see a bit of the world, as my father instructed. Near the city, my caravan was ambushed by a veritable horde of Orcs, wielding a variety of lethal looking weapons. Though they suffered many losses, in the end the Orcs were triumphant. My personal guard captain managed to spirit me away, though we were chased for what seemed to be days on end. Near this very city, several of these savage beasts caught up to us. My guard captain, Mustaffa, gave his life to hold them off and buy me time to escape. Surely he is with the gods even now! I was offered charity by one of the noble families in your fine nation, and I have done what I can to repay those who share their home with me with stories and my astute political mind.
"But come, let us focus on happier times. I believe we have intrigue to be about, and not a moment to waste! Perhaps we should meet in the evening to see how our individual efforts faired, and plan for tomorrow's outing? Assuming that is acceptable, let us plan to meet here at 3 bells after dark to plan." Later:
Indir hits the proverbial streets, going from contact to contact to see if he can verify the location of both his targets.
I think our currently listed lineup for tasks is pretty good. Let's do an initial pass through completing them and then we'll have the people who succeed at their's go and help the people who didn't.
"I believe that dear Lady Martella wishes each of us to pick one of these tasks, likely to see how well we'll perform. I will be happy to deal with the issue of the uncertain senators' loyalties."
I'm a Kitsune. They get the ability to change into the same human form for unlimited duration. I did miss a campaign trait, so I'll fix that now.
Almost as if waiting on cue for Genevieve's question about the number of compatriots, an absolutely beautiful young man of obvious Katapeshi descent enters the room. He has eschewed a noble's outfit from among his own people for a tailored courtier's outfit cut in the current style of the Taldan court, with just the right amount of jewelry to be appropriate, including a signet ring. While none of you have ever had the pleasure of his company, he is rather well known among the nobility of Taldir: Indir Ar'Dayne, rumored to be the illegitimate child of one of the Pactmasters of Katapesh. Much of what is known about him is hearsay at best, which only adds to his mystique. Seeing Lady Martella, he waves exuberantly and makes his way over to the table, saying "Lady Martella, I daresay it has been far too long! and I see you have surrounded yourself with the very jewels of the empire itself!" Bowing to the group, Indir says "Greetings all. My name is Indir Ar'Dayne, and I am humbled to make your acquaintance." before taking a seat next to Lady Martella.
Okay, here is Vrog's character. Let me know if you want/need me to make any changes. |
