Well that's unfortunate. It's been fun, for what it was.
Tenobia's gaze shifts around the room, noting little details as the Abess speaks. "We are happy to help." she says quietly.
"We are hoping to find out what has happened to the children, and who would be behind this." Tenobia adds.
"I think that the implication was the other way around." Tenobia says with a smirk, her hands idly resting on her hips.
Watching the exchange with a hint of amusement, Tenobia follows securing her weapons at her sides before proceeding to shimmy her considerable curves through the tight space.
"We eagerly follow your lead."
Remaining silent, though with her hands clearly near her weapons, Tenobia follows along, head on a swivel.
Tonobia arches an elegant eyebrow as she notices the badge, taking note of the Raven's skull, and beginning to pay closer attention to the surroundings of where they are headed.
Tenobia looks around to see if their interactions are being observed, as negotiations seem to take a downward turn.
"That sounds fair enough to me, we will be grateful of your company while we have it." Tenobia says with a smile.
Content to simply let those who preferred to do the talking do so, Tenobia simply observes.
Tenobia responds with a nod, sparing a last glare at the woman before they head out.
Tenobia, for the most part, watches the series of interactions with clear amusement, though her expression darkens at the sight of the bruise on the halfling girl's face.
With a shrug, Tenobia follows along as Felix leads them downstairs.
Quickly heading out to collect the rest of her things, Tenobia makes a detour to one of the more tucked away streets to obtain a disguise kit, before making her way back to where she'd lodged the day before and settling her account, then hiring a carriage back to the Gentleman Ghost. Getting things sorted in her room she changes clothing, opting for more utilitarian garb, leather breeches, and a linen shirt, over which she layers her armor and cloak, the latter helping obscure both the rapier and Dragon pistol adorning her hips. Heading back to the common area, she awaits her other companions.
Smiling in amusement at Felix' antics as well, Tenobia selects one of the vacant rooms, taking the time to check the room's layout as well as any windows or other possible exits, before rejoining the others. "Once we have any luggage and equipment we might need, that sounds like an excellent course of action." she replies to Elara's suggestion.
Following their supernatural host up the stairs as she takes in the unique settings, Tenobia arches an eyebrow at the report of a mischievous ghost, chuckling in amusement. "I will make a point to keep track of things."
Tenobia observes the introductions with a sense of both intrigue and amusement, noting who was forthcoming, who offered not even so much as a name, and who sought to impress them all with their knowledge. Ironically also showing who could likely be trusted with a secret ” Yes. Tenobia Mariella Tição Covalestra…I suppose Lady should precede that in formal introductions” she says with a grin, her accent holding a warm, romantic rhythm to it. ”I am 4th in line of House Covalestra in Propeta D'Oro, here through our diplomatic and long-lasting friendship with your House Schiefbau. I am trained in the arts, as well as some dabbling in the use of magic, and as Lord Felix pointed out, skilled in gunplay….though I actually shoot with my right hand….the development of my left arm is from much practice with the rapier.”She says with a smirk. ”I am perfectly fine with being called simply by name,” she says to Nibs.
Stifling a smile at Lady Vosk's response, Tenobia notes Felix casting another spell of some sort, as the group takes their leave. 'This should be interesting.'
Tenobia raises an eyebrow at Lord Felix's suggestion that they be provided with items of powerful disguise magic in addition to the already generous offer of reimbursement. Nodding at Nib's idea that the attention drawn by some of them might benefit those with more stealth, she takes in her those with whom she would be working, wondering as to their assorted talents.
Tenobia frowns as she hears the nature of their investigation. The disappearance of children was doubtless the result of something vile, and needed to be stopped. With the added detail of the adult homeless missing, people who many of the upper-tier citizens and law enforcement would be unlikely to miss, the likelihood of something well planned and orchestrated rather than some random occurrence.
Tenobia perks up at the mention of access to the Vosk alchemy lab, her mind racing at the possibilities. As she adjusts her gown to climb the ladder, a stylized bell-mouthed pistol can be seen at her hip. Climbing up into the office, her eyes take in the wide variety of artifacts and objects of artistry decorating the well-appointed lair. Taking a seat, she reaches for the food, popping a piece of fruit into her mouth and savoring the taste as she listens to the details of their contract. "Your terns sound both fair and, amenable so far My lady." she purrs, looking to see the others' thoughts and reactions. As the group's apparent questioner poses the matter of the mission itself, she sits back, seemingly relaxed yet attentive, awaiting the reply.
"Oh, definitely!" Tenibia replies with a grin, all too aware of some of the more spectacular things that could be done with alchemy.
Tenobia accepts the tea with both butter and sugar, giving the maid a smile before reaching for a pastry.
Sense Motive DC 8 (lol) :
She is the last to take a sip or a bite of what is presented, after waiting just long enough to see that the others are fine She arches an eyebrow, turning to face the masked man as he breaks decorum, noting his blunt approach. The talk of vampires widens her eyes ever so slightly before she lets out a throaty chuckle. Finishing her tea, she rises, popping the final piece of the delightful pastry into her mouth. ” Fascinante.” she says quietly as she takes one of the candlerods and follows.
While punctuality was considered a virtue by most, the impact of a well-timed late arrival was not something to be underestimated, by any measure. Sweeping into the receiving parlor with the fluid ease of a dancer, the slight rustle of silks draws the eyes of those within to the tall, athletic woman, adorned in an elegant burgundy gown with black accents, dramatically cut in the style of Propeta D'Oro high court, allowing much in the way of freedom of movement. Dark eyes, perfectly matched with silken hair, with the exception of a prematurely silver streak up front, greet each of those assembled in turn with a warm smile, before coming to a stop at their host. Dipping in an elegant curtsy she speaks in a rich welcoming voice, with the lively melodic accent of the island kingdom’s southern region. ” It is a great honor to be invited into your presence My Lady. I am here but to serve.” she says before flowing into the empty chair.
House Covalestra Sigil: A rapier engulfed in flames on a black background. House Covalestra is known as among the most martial of the noble houses of Propeta D'Oro, and is a reknowned source of both fine honed weapons, and trained guards and mercenaries. Not really sure of location without a map, not sure if it’ll matter since she’s not in her home country anyway. Secrets: While well known for producing experts in the art of warfare, there are small secretive groups of soldiers, trained in the blending of martial combat and weaponry (martial bards, magi…and the most closely guarded secret arcane gunslingers solely devoted to protecting house principals.) I didn't realize gameplay had already started.
Happy to be here. I'll work on the family background information later this evening.
Aren't Byrus and Nibs played by the same person?
Thank you!!! Will dot as soon as there's a Gameplay/OOC thread attached.
Thanks. All done. Female Human Bard(Arcane duelist)/Gunslinger (Firebrand) gestalt Happy for the Rich Parents trait (Gunslinger is expensive as hell)
Done with everything but background. Anything on the noble houses of Propeta D'Oro?
Still a work in progress (Gear and background to do) but to add to the tally, here's Tenobia Covalestra noble scion from Propeta D'Oro.
I could revise Tenobia from the first attempt at this plot.
Yeah this one just never really ot to a point of any kind of action, just a series of conversations. I've been reading the Land of Ice and Blood, game and the dynamic there has really gotten a hold of the setting and the pace is very cool. Will create a character just to have on standby should you need a replacement.
"You must truly have no sense of self preservation."
"And what exactly would you have in mind"
Tenobia, her face flush with the contained outburst of violence barely kept in check by Arnad's guesture, manages a grin that is at once amused and predatory as the man shivels as his manhood must have years before.
Tenobia smiles and takes a seat directly across from the man leaning slightly forward as Arnad speaks.
My Lord, we were sent here by a lord Damyan of the Cockatrice Knights of Kaledun. We are to join him and his unit affter obtaining horses from one Gazda Jezda. I assume you are he My Lord?" In a rare moment Tenobia bows with a graceful florish. Diplomacy
"He's obviously a man who knows well enough to hold the door for a lady," Tenobia says boldly, with a hint of a smile. "Surely you would have done the same yourself." Diplomacy
Tenobia rolls her eyes. "Despite Rickard's reservations the tavern there should be worth entering, if only to gather information.
"Well this is impressive.It looks as if we should have no trouble finding mounts here.
"Wait. Why would being delayed suddenly make us fugitives? We approached you. How do you treat those you declare...fugitives? For that matter fugitives from what?" For her longtime friends it is evident that the terminology has invoked Tenobia's infamous ire.
