::"I see":: came Ms Ps voice back ::"I will take that under advisement Agent Shrike, but for now consider yourselves under quarantine, and stay in the area. I will keep others out, But you must keep investigating. I need to know more. How much of a danger is this possession weapon its type and from."::
Your all at this point talking to each other, working out who is who and who said what when a voice pops into all your heads. Its lady P and she sound flustered. ::"There has been a change of plans, we have a salutation, New orders, grab what you have and head out the studio to the main road, move now.":: She orders, as you start to move she goes on. ::"No time to get transport there, Look in the IDs, I sent, you all have military ones. Use them to comendire something heading south to the river. Get to the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. Here is what we have, about an hour ago a lone German night plane flow low over the river and dropped something into Kew. Air raid wardens sent a bomb squad in, and lost contact, sent someone to check on them and same thing. We have Home guard closing off the area at the moment, Story is its a gas attack. But a warden there says they can see "things" moving in the trees. Right now by pour chance your the team closest and free, so get there, have a look and report soon as you can. This is top priority, nothing else matters." Then she is gone. military IDs: Brosnan, Q and L MI Captain Army, Shrike Commander Army US or English as nationality
"I'll take a rather common first name on my ID, something like James, there are countless James, but it's not so obvious as a "John Smith" or "John Doe" so yeah James Bond could work well. I have no preference as to my role, but I doubt I'd be believed as a secretary, so perhaps the aid or layabout would work well for me" Looks a bit worried, "Also, I'm sorry, but we use the term James Bond as a general code name for any under cover agent working alone." She seem to think for a moment before adding. "I think a nice young man in Naval Intelligence came up with the term, and it kind of stuck. That name then is problematic for paper work reasons, please use another." Then as agent Q, comes in she smiles and waits as he is known to some. "Yes, we are lucky to get Agent Q. He is as has been said a specialist in information extraction. One of our best assets in fact, so please try not to lose him." She makes him do the warding then she stands, "Out time is up, We will meet at Charing-cross station before heading by train to out boat. Time will be noon the day after tomorrow, so you have 50 hours." She pulls out some small cards. "This is a ID for sound stage F at Ealing studios, its booked for our use for the next week. We where doing something in there, but as agent Q is here that has now ended. Get your thing, go there, it has a short range and training floor set up. Show each other what you can do, and cross train so you can act as a unit. Mr Milln and crew will be there to keep unwanted eyes away. The banks will just me a movie being made so you should have no trouble. I will meet you at the station. With the IDs and things we may need." She starts to make her own way to a door, enters and then is gone. Soon after you all exit, outside the shop is getting lighter and you can see a few fires south of the river. you come out one by one and head off to your digs. ===sound stage F at Ealing studios=== When you get the studio you flash the ID and your sent to a sound stage, you see film crew all around, working day and night. At the door to stage F a man, checks your ID and send you in. Inside is a large high space. A small room has been made to look like a German cell. Its open now but you can see its 4 walls can close to make a single room. Add as how can any one film an in closed space. A small 50' range has been set you, to one side, also 8 bunk beds with covers. There are tables, one with food, tined and bread. Tea is in a earn. Other than that the place is empty.
She nods at Shrines words. "This is all meant to be low key and that plan sounds like one that could work well doing that Mr Shike. Unlike other hunter-kill teams we have no target other than information. I will get the IDs done. Any preference in names for any of you?" She asks, then after names of given she adds. "So two days from now, we will meet up in Great Yarmouth and talk a fishing boat form there to Gothenburg, there we will part ways, I will be heading over land to Stockholm. You then have two options, go over land to Kristianopel on the Kalmar Strait or go there by boat. I suggest overland, its hard to sink a train." She says jokingly. "Two days also gives you time for reserch and collecting anything you need here before setting off. I am going to try and get a few bits and bobs I think will be of use. So if your all happy, we can get started."
"The risk is being spotted by a German air patrol before we get to Swedish waters. A night crossing should get us there with low risk of that, that is if the weather is fine." She says
nods but says nothing more as she waits on the others to talk.
"Mr Brosnan, so glad you could make it, a little late but in time for the impotent stuff. Now if you would all care to look at the wall there a moment everyone." By some means she seem to flip a card and then on the wall is a geometric pattern that makes your eyes cross. "now as widow operation agents you know the deal. Please repeat after me, I COMMIT to Ruthless widow operation Winter book" When you do you feel the tingle at the back of your heads from the wards placed on you shifting to allow for one more. "I always find that a little painful" She says, and the card flips back. "Lets carry on, understand I am no tactical agent, I may be over sight and communications but when it comes to hard fights, in the field, I am in your hands, that's your collective area. Load Brass says we keep this low key, and that is how I want it. So then who shall we get there? and whats to be your cover story"
The woman Miss P stands, she is average in looks, and speaks with a very slight Italian accent. She is dressed well in fine clothing, one's that may be seen on a vogue cover. Not that fine, as this was war time after all. She stands and heads over to a small tea trolley, "Mr Shrike's that is precisely what I do, I give over sight, Miss Korematsu here will not be able to use her gifts on you two even if she wanted to. Her wards prevent that. Only the highest level clearance can do such things and we only do then when they are needed." She places her hand on the tea pot. "Arr, good, Still warm, would anyone like a cup. O and we have cake as well." she gets four cups out.
She brings a tray over that has every thing on she needs on it, she takes the time and slides over a tea to everyone. "I'm more a field supervisor than daring do agent like yourselves. I have also been tasked with getting as much intel as I can from Swedish MI while keeping them happy about what you three get up to. Which in and of itself I hope will not be that much. The Mind Link I just placed on you will stay in place even while you sleep, and you can contact me day or night by means of it. But a word of warning, lose consciousness by any other means than sleep and it will end. So try not to get bonked on the head." She hands around cake, its simple, butter and sponge, but even so a rear treat. "Now down to it, You three will have the task of heading down Kristianopel on the Kalmar Strait. Nice area, never been myself. I will be working infiltration at Stockholm university and looking into Professor Eric Miles Molstrum work there. But from what little information we have from the Swedish MI, who ever he was working with, worked with him in Kristianopel at his summer home only. Which in itself is odd." She says at the end with a joke. She sips her tea and goes on. "Right now we have two tasks. Number one, Pic our means of entry to Sweden. Boat, sub or plane, that one you will have to decided by you. Boat is simple, Scottish fishing boat over, simple but with risks, Sub is slow but safe, and plane is fast but higher risk in my view. We will have to night jump with the plan, always tricky. Next is the cover story you will be using, we have ID makers, and they will have what you need in the hour, but they need to be told what you need. So you three will have to work out a cover story asap, so I can get them working." She takes a bight of cake. "O nice, and If you do pick plane we will be off tomorrow night, so you also need to go see the Armorer and get your equipment." With that all said she sits back and waits to see what you say.
Still sat and still smiling a voice pops into your head. Her voice. ::"Please do not be alarmed, I'm Lady P, or Miss P take your pick. While Lord Brass was here I was just testing your wards. They all seem in place. Now you can with a thought shut me out, BUT please do not, I am doing this to help protect you. While linked to me like this you can always think talk to me, no matter the distance. Also my link to you will offer some protection from mind reading while your out and about. Now I could mind read you deeper but I will re-frame form that unless you give me courses to. Now if you agree to this link, Please nod your head now":: She waits to see if you all nod.
Thanks, GM Sappy, it was a load of fun just making the PC and thanks for the chance of being picked. Just want to say, I will be lurking to see how it goes. So good luck guys and have a load of fun.
I would just like to say, selected or not, there are some great ideas for PCs here. Arklytte you crazy person, that background is epic. All best one chaps, what, what.
If you don't want to lose that power, there is also a psionic feat, Access-psionic-talents Which gives a PC 5 Talents. For Items I gave Calista all psionic items and single use Psionic tattoos as well.
@James Alwin Shrike.
@Donfin She would have known from year dot, seeing him around, and watching him grow. Calista is always a little distant and would not seek to be some kind of mother figure. Being so old she find getting too attached lead to heart ache. For Donfin Calista may seem like a fixture of the place, always there and always the same. But he may know she is one of the ones who keep track on Agents, like Shrike. @Agent Pierce Brosnan. If he is also an agent at the Laundry she would have meet him at some point, may even been part of the vetting team. Other than that she would be to him just another one of the staff there. One thing about Calista is, she speaks English with a slight Italian Ascent.
On that note, Lady Calista probably knows both of you. One of her tasks at the laundry is to keep an eye on active agents. She has also spent time behind the counter. Always helpful to have a mind reader at the front door.
I have slimmed down her background, it was a bit long.
read more of the setting so edited her background with more Mathamagics.
@Simeon, I think cognizant crystals count as permanent magic items.
I have updated here Pics and Items, and changed a few small things that where wrong. She is now a lot more like someone who has been around for a long time. With back ground safe houses in London NYC should the team need to use them.
@Pierce Brosnan: No special materials. Only exceptions are the optionally silvered weapons, and you may get mithral armor by forfeiting slotless items and potions from your requisition package. That is interesting, mithral chain shirt, is nice. With the +1 Armor from APB very nice. But worth $3000 hummm @GM Gm we get APB +2 to two stats do we still get the +1 from level 4 a well or is this in place of?
Saashaa I don't think we can have perment magic items like Pathfinder Pouch's etc
Is that right GM?
She is a highly intelligence and skilled telepth with mind control and mind reading powers who can at a push take out a tank. She can link the group telepathically for combat effectiveness. She can heal, blast, change looks, levitate, shoot, sense, with high Kn skills as well. She can melt your mind, burn a whole through you, pulverize your body and hurl what's left at the next guy. All while setting abd reading the paper. I see her roll as skills monkey, bond dissposel, scout, infiltrator and back up big guns. My aim was versatility with some punch used when needed.
@Joseph Bonkers, Its a cool idea I must admit, it's why I made one hehe, Meet, The Lady Calista Da Romano. The Italian born Psion, Telepath, civilian specialist who extracts information in a non-traceable manner. :) Not saying don't build one, you can have a whole new twist on the idea, but... it's a wee bit close.
@GM, cool, I need to sort consumable items
Well here is her new Biuld, I made her an Independent Contractor as well, as that seemed to fit better.
HI GM Panic here, Well I made an alt, Here she is, Lady Calista Da Romano.
Needs a few small things doing but she is 80% there.
Well that was a glorious wast of my ******* time. I sent you a PM a few days ago, cards and you could have saved my from it if you had bothered to reply. Frankly given your plane LACK of posting and your LACK of response to PMs, I don't give this game more than 6 weeks before it winks out, and I think that is being generous. Best of luck players.
TENT RP: Stands now she is done with the girl, the girl had said nothing to her, Calista looked at Nev now holding the girl. "Hello there, I'm Lady Romana and thank you for you help. I was trying NOT to think of the three devils. So much better now your restraining her" says to the last few onlookers "lords and lady's I really do think you should move along now, there will other things to see this night, but this act is now over."
Then she says to Nev "I was tying to see if what the Ambassador said was true. I did witness what looked to be someone female try and attack him. My hope is the girl your holding will supply more information"
TENT RP: Looks an as more and more come, Good Barnette was taking care of the crewed, it would not hold for any one knew any thing about magic, but it would work on the majority. he was giving her time to work, She sends her physical up into the air spotting other trouble while she probed the girls mind, She wanted to know who was behind this. "Now who do you work for and are there others with you?"
TENT RP:
Claista looks over at Ruatria ::"Thank you, that will help a lot, now what to do with this Cheliaxon, we could place him at some great disadvantage here. Lets have some fun"::
group RP: @Kelith Thilen "It was small dress shop in old port, I can give you the address for you wife if you like" @Ruatria Nyvannalis
"Yes I remember Terim" She chuckles as Terim blushes, "The Science Academes are doing well, and we are printing more books than ever. There is such a demand, I just wish we could find a way to print magical texts but our experiments are fruitless at the moment. It may be that they will have to be done by hand becomes of some other fracture. As for old books, yes I would love to see them, and if they hold information we do not have, for our Encyclopaedia then I will seek to add them to our book repository, an..." Just then she looks over at a tent that Mr Ash and Kelith Thilen had just set off for. "Sorry Ruatria it seems there is trouble with the Ambassador, Shall we go see if we can help." She follows the two men, not waiting to see if Ruatria and Terim follow. [spoiler=TENT RP]
Calista follows Kelith Thilen and Mr Ash as they go to the tent, as Thilen looks in the tent, she waits until he is done. Then as the Devils come out with the naked human, She looks at the good prof next to her, He nods and seems to fade from view. "A a Red Mantis Assassin really, well I never. Do you mind if I have a little talk with your attacker, it's not often one gets to meet a live Assassin."
She stands for a moment next to the girl and devils. Then her clothing seems to change, to something far more business like. She takes off her mask. bends down so she can talk to the naked woman. "Hello there, you seem to be an Assassin now could I ask, are you? and is it just you tonight? or are there more?" She says this in such a nice voice, calming and interested, she pays no heed to the devils.
Group RP: She looks on as Valignatir, then looks over at
"Arr yes a new comer to our ranks, Do you know it's quit a thing to have even a cleric of Asmodeus not wish to keep ones company." She smiles a dark smile. "Now you sir, what drama's come with you? humm, few have the wit and will to stay buy my side." She looks at the dull witted boy standing close to her, then at you Kelith Thilen. "And what shall we talk about?
Group RP:
::"Of course Barnette, it was nice meeting you at last, be kind with her she is a friend of mine."::
She chuckles mentally at you, and gives you a wink. . "Barnette thank you, I will." She moves her arm around to encompass the throng. "Valignatir here in the twilight of empire, there must always be times when the lowest of the low can mix with the highest of born. Its a test you see for both rich and powerful, poor and powerless. For the Nobility tonight the weak in their ranks will be weeded out" She lightly slaps the boys face next to her. "Black sheep sons will cross the line, gambling or sleeping away their family's wealth. Dull witted daughters shall lose there virtue and grace, to name but two ways to fall." She smiles as an obvious Unbeared passes in a pooly made mask. "And the poor to are tested, for a few nights they see and feel what power and wealth is like. They get close to it, they can just about taste it. If they fall under its spell, they will want it with all their hearts, they will spend the rest of their short lives trying to achieve it, permeability!. Arr but here is the they they will try knowing! the system has nothing but obstetrical's to stop them, yet they will carry on striving. All but a very few will make it, the rest will sink, crushed, expectorated, used up under the yoke of this culture. The wise would find some other state, some frontier where wealth and freedom can got with far more ease, but nights like this dear Valignatir, where the unbeared can see us, mix with us... well they become far far less wise." She smiles a smile at at him of complex understanding. "They say your state is evil, but is it as evil as this, A state where dreams are used to crush human spirits." She looks at him, there is no expression on her face at all, she is studying his response.
Group RP:
"Arr and so it begins, I have all the time in the world for revelries in the woods, and the faye can throw quite a party but nothing is quit like a human Mascaraed carnival." From in her clothing she pulls a mask and slips it on.
Group RP edited: She Smiles at David Ash comment knowingly
"Then they must have been mistaken Ambassador, courts are such rumour mills don't you think. Now how are you finding it here, The weather to your liking and th... Do you mine if I just" She turns to a young woman close to her, who has just been given a drink by a young man. In one move she takes the glass out of her hand. "My dear you really should pay attention" She then turned to the young man, in a form voice that seemed to carry more power then expected she says to him in a reasonable voice, "I think it best you drink this, don't you, then we can have so much fun." She holds out the very drink He had offered the young woman to him.
The young man takes the drink with a smile and drinks it, after a moment a stupefied look comes over his face with the smile of a simpleton.
"Next time pay attention, this young buck was all set to compromise the one thing your farthers need to find you a good match." She places her hand on the young man's face squeezing in to a pucker face. The young man just smiles more stupidly. "The drugs he popped into you drink would have had you looking like this and on your back with in the hour. Don't ask me how I know girl, I just know. Now hear me well you stupid child, you run along home as fast as you can back to you family before this place eats you up and spits you out, Now OFF with you!"
The girl turned tires in her eyes, picks up her dress and runs out of the warehouse. Calista looks at the stupefied youth, "You! follow!, I have plans for you!" She then turns back to Ambassador Valignatir, now smiling. "I am so sorry for that, but really some of the cloud heads that come to places like this. It's a wonder they have enough brains to get out of bed in the morning. So where were we? are yes Have you meet Mr Ash, he's a Purveyor of Pleasures they say, and he is right Barnette and he can get you the most rear of items." Her hardness has gone, she is back to being a lady, behind her now followed a stupefied youth, smiling like a fool.
Group RP: "Normally I would ask another to introduce me, but I feel we can distance with such things here. I am The Lady Calista Da Romano of the Elfen Royal house Romano, Representative of the none human races here in the capital and Owner Sponsor of The University of Science. Nice to make your acquittance Ambassador Jeggare." She says this with a slight smile and nod, ::"You may mark Mr Ash as a dangerous man you wish to keep close Barnette, but here's the calibre of dangerous man I like to keep close.":: "And how is the Queen, Ambassador I was told there was some troubles at her court"
Group RP:
She smiles at Master Ash and her manner changes from business to Courtly , she tilts her head at him in acknowledgement. "Well meet Master Ash and a Purveyor of Pleasures, you must tell, I do so hope they are scandalous Pleasures. One has to have something to talk about at dull dinner party's humm" ::"Really, I have heard of his name, Houses of the Flesh trade and other such. He seems nice enough, and well dressed so not lacking in coin. Well what do we have here.":: She looks over at the Valignatir as he comes down the steps then back at the two men with her. "That is the Cheliaxon Ambassador Gentlemen, one Valignatir Jeggare, of House Jeggare, He's also priest of Asmodeus as one can tell by the mace he brings even to a party. Quit the topic of conversation in some circles, I have high regard for him, we both have a mutual respect for law and order. If you wish to sell things he is of a family that has more coin than any in the inner sea so they say." She smiles and nods at Valignatir. Special Abilities, Potions & Spells In Effect:
Calista has, Inertial Armor, Empathy and Conceal Thoughts running Constantly + trigger power
Group RP: COLISTA LOOKS LIKE THIS AT THE PARTY As Barnette took her hand she smiled, the Cystal buy her head swinging around to face the crowed then flow over a few around them. "Yes let, shall we walk and see who's in the throng." Again talking in her head but this time is was its voice but as if the lady was talking directly to him. ::"Good then we can talk about, the deep cystal as well, note 'deep' it is mined deep under ground and is very hard to get hold of. I am well aware there will be a price attached but my normal suppler has let me down. The deep crystal looks like this":: an image is sent to you mind. ::"Now lets go back to talking the old fashioned way, if you need to talk to me again like this again, you need only think your words to my device":: "Anything you say get anything, Barnette, have you ever seen a reincarnation Scroll. I always wondered if they existed." As David Ash came over an short odd looking human with a whole face mask white alabaster by the looks of it, stepped it her side. He did not do much more than they but he also seemed to be ready for any trouble. "It's all right Mirrermax a think this one friendly, why not go have a look for the other things I'm after tonight" He bowed one and then walked off with out a word. As Mr Ash took her hand she smiled at him a polite smile, then waited while he clasped his friends hand. One done she looked at Barnette. "Would you be so kind as to introduce us Barnette, I would like to know who this fellow is if I may"

::[i]"I am sorry to intrude like this, I am the crystal buy her Ladyships head. A Device that aid her in surreptitious communication.

My mistress has instructed me to discus in privet the matter of her acquiring some deep Crystal, you need only think your words at me and I will hear them. And worry not that is all I can read in your mind. So may I carry on talking to you about this matter.":: Lady Calista asks, handing back one of his cards with the note. "I am told you can get just about any thing, do you think you could help me?"
Group RP: Int Carnaval de l' Dorée around 7:00pm
"So do you have the time to talk to me?" She slips him a note, on it is some elvish writing.
Thanks GM for oking some Group rp fun, l
Posts under spoiler [group RP fun] Setting: how about a midnight black market in an old werehouse, there is a bar and entertainment. All manner of goods on offer and other things to see and do. It's the place to be seen, nobles in masks mix with the unbeared. In this way Barnette Bright the XII stands and we can all show the voice of our PC. I my self love pre game RP as it helps me sort out just how my PC will act and feel.
Group RP fun:
A tall elf lady comes over to the man shilling his wares. She has fine garments on and buy her head a small crystal hovers. Her clothing is slightly odd, simple functional yet expensive looking. On her hip is an odd looking gun. "I'm told your name is Barnette Bright and that your the seller of things hard to get. If I may have a word, I'm looking to aquire something" She's a little blunt in manner but not rude, more business like and seeing if this is all show on his part. Around her the ware house was packed, a throng of buyers and sellers, she spotted a few she new. She ware no mask, other may hide who they where but she had been around long enough to not care. The night was young As for back story I am keeping it simple, Ii could go reading the whole country's background and try and fit 300 years into that, but really she has just been around. Quietly doing what she dos. There are now two story's about who she is, and how she acts.
I wish every one the best of luck,
Cool GM, I have but her Academics sites down to three and may even drop two more and just for one big University of Science.
Lady Calista relationship regarding Chosen players Sir Inkwell Rook:
The Lady Calista remembers him when he was a young boy, having known of him then. His love of books would mean they may not only know of each other but have corresponded over the years about works published. Some of his extended family my even by at one or more of her Academies of Science. By his/her request, as she has been a part of the culture for so long my hope is she respects him and he her. His time as spy master would have been of great interest to her as she always seeks to keep herself and her interests outside the great game. I feel she would consult with him on matter both historical and political.
Lady Gabrielle:
The Lady Calista knows of Lady Gabrielle as they move in the same social circles of Oppara. Its garden parties, theater outings, and masquerades. As an avid reader of adventure novels she is also a good customer of The Lady Calista less scientific publications. The Lady Calista has seen her grow from a young woman at court to the fine lady she is today. The Lady Calista would like to know her better but has never found the chance.
The Lady Knight:
The Lady Calista is more than happy to see a woman be a knight, being a very strong female herself, she would I think get on well with her. In fact she may even seek to commotion a book about the Hero knight’s life. She would be most interested in having the good Knight adopt the use of some of her institutions new’er technologies.
Lady Kyra of Rubicon:
As a great bard and teller of stories a number of her works would have been published by The Lady Calista. Lady Kyra of Rubicon would also appear in her lists of prominent cultural personages. Also the fact she has a high level of education, My feeling is that The Lady Calista would follower of Lady Kyra of Rubicon performances. Looking to see her perform whenever she can.
Lady Kyra:
Lady Kyra: Lady Calista would probably know of her having done work for the court over the years. Most of all finding spies in court and delivering the latest contraptions and books. She would look to gain great contact with the good Captain to ensure the none human races where represented in recruitment. She would also be interested in that the court is up to. If in game: Detective Robert Blackhart: Someone she knows of/ if not knows, having her skill for the crown used to find criminals. As the agent to check the criminal class. Also in her role of hunting down the odd criminal Psionicsest or manipulator. She would look to have some of her graduated student/Agents working with him.
Lady Calista I like the look of your Science university so far, that's not something that you'd typically find in a nation so focused on magic/faith over rationality. I haven't had time to further read your story as I'm on my phone atm. I will be looking over it more thoroughly ASAP. Also, you are more than welcome to read up on the existing characters/players and read the discussion thread. Thanks GM, yes I'm going the Science root, from that every thing works. Imperial thinking, logical research, experimental work. None of this mystic flim-flamShe publishes technical books an any number of things. Her aim is to usher in an age of techilogical advanmemt. To that end fire arms research is included. Her graduated die scientists are known for carrying revolvers and rifles over swords, bows, and shields etc. they also have the latest techilogical equipment. Regional Science Academy's x4 [20,000]
I'm so stupid, It just hit me, why I'm finding this so blasted hard to settle on a core idea, for my PC.
If I take it for granted that I will not get picked then I'm free to biiuld the PC I would like to play. No more looking at the games one of the two pcs need to fit, no more trying to show how my PC will fit play in the world. Just a clear idea of my PC and who she is. Once I thought that it all became very clear. She's a telepath, based on logic and laws, a psion and that's how she is in the world and sees it, she has little time for gods, seeing them as just uplifted beings powered by faith or some other means, no more real gods than humans are to dogs. Just a being with more power and knowledge. The university in the city is her bace and home, it's a center for training the Psionicly gifted as well is logic and science. To her the two go hand in hand. The in 4 smaller science Psionic academy's in other citys. This is her life's work, it's taken 200 years. With that as her center the rest of her falls into place now,
PS She is also married to a Dwarf Engineer, yep an elf married to a Dwarf. PPS Mind you its just been fun making the PC and writing with her voice.

Story starts - The lost Village:
::"And you say the whole village was razed?":: The Bright Star, lady of the Kind, Representative of None Human races, Lady Calista Da Romano, was sitting in a carriage looking over at her secretary, a small Gnome Called Master Cherick Whipelleen. They were talking to each other Telepathy as they road across town. ::"Yes and the Halflings driven off, there in a make shift camp out people set up for them just outside the woods. Somewhere hurt, there was a fight of a kind":: He went into his small scribe case and brought out a sheet of paper and handed it to her. She scanned it for a moment. ::"Well we need to pay a visit, where is the closes office?:: ::"Apple Port, one days ride away":: She nodded, ::"Get yourself ready we go this afternoon, well take Mannzel with us":: Her paper had been converting the story of land grabs, and of late there had been many, while the court spent it time running around trying to see who could stand on who, while the whole county sank. She did her best to keep things even and start. When you have lived this long you learned to trouble when it started. One of the good things about running a string of newspaper was the ability to her about things before others did. The press always had means. This one was troubling however it was from one of her own printers, a Halfling called Smuck. It seemed someone had ordered the clearing of his home village. O it would be bandits it always was, but who was paying them that’s what she wanted to know. Some local lord, a local businessman after the tress who know, the fact was no one local had done a thing to help them. She would not allow the none Human races to be pushed around like this was. Well she going to snoop around and see what she could did up. The stopped at the gate house of the and got out. The Building was modern made to her specifications. It was tracking to the Opulent building all around, its form followed its functions but with an eye to style. The 1st years where going to class, and a number of visitors where looking around. The gate man let them in. "Mam" He said, she nodded, she did not like over formality. Soon she was in her own rooms, sitting looking out over the city.
This this broken state needed to be dragged up into the modern world, it was old sick and lost in the a past now gone. There where batter ways, down below the poor worked carrying just a few free powerful rich self centred and self obsessed on their backs. Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people, with greed, hate and intolerance. Her she was fighting in her own way for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to the betterment of all and she hoped happiness. Knowledge was power and she hopped power for all. later that day they stood in the Psioport room and where off to the local office...
So she has a number of Inns throughout the county,
Her mine is to protect and over see relations with other races. Bother coming into and out of the county. I have decided to make her a self made elf. She has had 200 years here building her Business intestates and extensive net work of none humans. Holdings City Home Oppara:

@GM I asked about the Elf gate, is there one was not 100% if it was covered. Err GM?
Hi hope this helps noble-scion Class here You only get features and not feats, Skills, saves etc. The GM said how much we have to build our holding with but I don't think anyone has said what we can earn from them. For Calista Da Romano's holding I have one mad idea,
In the "The Grand Hotel" Oppara she has a printing press and from there ships out works to be sold in her Inns. She also uses it to advertise her Hotel Brand. I just love the idea she made the Inns to help other none human races but is now a money making enterprise. Its also gives her a wide coverage for information gathering. I'm still working out the numbers but it looks good.
I just love the idea hes his hard nosed businesses elf maid, a self made woman who is also helping the none human races in her own way. Hiring none human staff where she can and having lodgings for them. The Grand Hotel - Oppara:
