"Could I wha wih ou," Allura mumbles in a drunken voice.KC looks at Allura.
"Excuse me, could you with me? I'm afraid I have some...bad news."
"Could you walk with me? Yes, come on."
He takes her outside grimly. When they are outside:He casts a silence spell.
"There. You're pals can't help you now."
He blasts her with a sphere of flame.
"HAY."
Stops at the end of his current lap
"STRAW!""Sorry, old Deepingdale joke..." he grins. "How's it going?"
"Could I wha wih ou," Allura mumbles in a drunken voice.KC looks at Allura.
"Excuse me, could you with me? I'm afraid I have some...bad news.""Could you walk with me? Yes, come on."

"Silly kobold," Allura says, stepping out of the flames. "You have no power over me. Now run, make your little plans and schemes. When the time of reckoning comes, I will remember this and then you will see what power actually is. For now I will spare your pitiful life so that you will understand that I can be merciful toward those who I choose to be. Now begone from my sight. You will not speak of this with anyone." Casts Permanate Geas on KC
With the kobold gone Allura walks the grounds outside the club, seemingly talking to herself. My lady, is this deception really nessecery? Couldn't we just tell Devlyn what is at stake and ask him for his aid?

The lich chuckles nervously.
"My will save is higher than a king's amount of gold. Idiot."He hits her with a mind fog.
"No," answers a voice that appears to come from a strangely glowing figure. "He has consorted with the dark forces, even unwittingly, and we must know where he stands before we offer him the choice."

Watching the kobold spar with himself, Allura chuckles. "The magic of the winds is masterful indeed. Illusion can be a powerful thing."
KC looks in fear.
"What is this? What are you?"
KC looks in fear.
"What is this? What are you?"
"A friend and ally. That is all you need know at this point. You, and my agents will be safer that way."
Hops out of the pool and heads to the hot tub to warm down from the last set of laps, giving a smile and a wave to the exercise group
Thinks that he heard KC and Allura talking a little while ago, but they aren't around, so he is probably mistaken
Allura walks around the corner and sees Devlyn in the hot tub. "Oh, that looks like fun," she says. "Mind if I join you?"
Allura walks around the corner and sees Devlyn in the hot tub. "Oh, that looks like fun," she says. "Mind if I join you?"
"Not at all - I'm just relaxing a bit before lunch. And waiting on a business meeting of sorts. Come on in!"
Allura smiles and steps into the changing hut. When she comes out she is wearing a much more demure swimsuit then her title might suggest. "So, how do you feel today?"

"Right as rain. The morning was peaceful and productive, and the rest of the day is looking good. And you?"
"I am looking forward to the rest of the day as well."
"I am looking forward to the rest of the day as well."
"So did you have a good nap," Alura asks Devlyn.
DbJ and Rio built their own treehouse yesterday, so DbJ could sleep nearby without being outed as a dragon. They were up most of the night trading jokes and telling ghost stories. Rio finally had to move his hammock into the treehouse because there wasn't any room on the floor(DbJ is a big dragon despite his age). They wake up around 9am, still a little groggy. Rio starts the day off just like always, with a swim.
The Bard went to bed earlier than most. By dawn you can here him working in the forge.
"So did you have a good nap," Alura asks Devlyn.
Blinks
Head snaps back up from the towel"WhoWhatWhere?"
Kobold Cleaver walks in, looking nervous. He quickly strides over to his book, sits down, picks up the book, and continues reading like nothing happened. However, the title of his book is now 'Spirits, Phantoms, and Those Not of This World'. One sitting next to him is called 'Creatures of the Ethereal'.

*Drying off and changing into dry clothes, Rio decides to go into the Club for a little bit. He notices KC reading yet again. Curious, he sneaks up on KC and reaches for the 'Creatures of the Ethereal'*
Rio catches a single phrase:
"...there is a theory that the souls of the departed who cannot rest will end in the Ethereal, and be trapped there for an indefinite amount of time until their purpose for being held back is completed. However, with immortals--"
KC sees Rio and widens his eyes. He snatches the book back, and hits the boy. His cold bony fingers sting against Rio's skin.
"How dare you, boy? Learn some respect! Touch ANY of my books again, and you will sorely regret it!"
He seems extremely angry.

The Dalesman comes up from the hot tub at that.
"Whoa, whoa guys, what in the blazes was that for? Why did you hit him!?"
Allura wraps herself in a towel and walks over to KC. Calm yourself litch. The boy meant no harm. Striking at your allies only weakens us all.

*Rio, for some reason, defends KC*
"It was my fault, I didn't ask if I could see his books."

KC is shaking with fury...and fear. Of Rio?
"I shall do worse than that if he touches my things!He grabs the books and teleports out.
*Rio, for some reason, defends KC*
"It was my fault, I didn't ask if I could see his books."
"That's all well and good, but he could have just closed the books and snapped at you. Hitting you is not an option."
Looks to make sure he is okay, but respects his personal space.
"KC's been moody the last two days. What has gotten him so wound up that he isn't telling any of us?"
"Something to do with the ethereal, I guess. Don't worry, I'm fine. I shall try to stay away from his possesions. I wonder..."
*Rio walks off without finishing his sentence.*
Allura's face pales noticably That will do him no good.

"What do you mean? What will do who no good?"
I wish I could tell you everything now, but I am forbidden to. Suffice it to say that the knowledge Kolob Cleaver seeks will not be found studying the ethereal.

Devlyn's getting noticeably concerned
"Forbidden by whom? And why do you look like you're about to pass out? What's wrong?"Grabs a chair for her in case she does keel over.
Allura takes a seat in the chair. I am forbidden from saying any more. The dark forces may be watching us, and I cannot risk it.
Those nearby can hear Rio and DbJ talking in hushed tones from within the treehouse.

Devlyn hangs is head for a moment, then sits down next to her and pats her hand.He says with a slight smile:
"Right. Well, this should be interesting night for us then..."
Alaina retires to her chambers after taking the girls through some weapons training and basic courtesan diplomacy skills. She hated the whole 'which spoon is proper for sherbert' junk, but the high-ups of many planes put big stock in it. She showers and goes for a young raver look: A white clingy minidress made out of smart fabric that pulses symbols and patterns out according to activity and mood, some high leather boots, some big plastic bracelets that glow in light-stick colors and some cheap flashy jewelry. She does her hair in two large ponytails to the side and puts on some extreme makeup.
Feeling ready to face the weekend crowds, she step out of her suite and descends the long marble stair to the patio and pool area.
*The Bard finally walks out of the forge, covered in soot. He walks to the bar and orders a stiff drink and a small roast chicken. He looks very tired, almost drained.*
Acme rolls up to the Bard, takes his order and returns with it
*BEEP*
You seem to be tired, Mr Bard. May I ask what you were working on?

"Hm? Oh, just a small project I've taken up. It's taking more time and energy than I originally thought...
And you can call me Kaelar if you wish, I've grown tired of being called The Bard."*He notices he's soot-stained and casts a prestidigitation spell to clean up*
"I really need to clean up better than that. A spell's good for quick touch-ups, but theres nothing like a hot shower to really feel clean..."
*He goes to his room for the first time in days and takes a well deserved shower*
*BEEP*
As you wish Kelar!
*BEEP*
Since you seem to be an arcabe metalworker I have a question for you. Is there a way to outfit a robot with some magic weapons? I have dual chain guns, but they seem woefully inappropriate for the villians I have faced. That and some magic armor plating ...
Acme reaches under the bar and pulls out a huge bag of platinum coins
I have these tips from bartending. I don't have any needs, so they have just been accumulating ..
Alaina moves around the patrons of her club. The house speakers kick out a bumping tune as the crowds begins to swell.
The Grey Mouser sits bemusedly at a table with his companion Fafhrd.
I've not seen anything like this place, even in the jaded subterranian sorcerous city of Quarmall, eh Fafhrd?
Serafina busses the tables along the bistro edge. She looks unhappy, and is sporting a bruise along one leg, looking like a blunt object twacked her.
Magdalena dances among the crowd as the techno heats up. Unlike the other altargirls, she is dressed in party clothes and seems to be off for the evening. A short gold minidess whips around her dark legs as she dances with a tall Aasimar boy in dark linen pants, plaid buttondown and a porkpie hat

*Kaelar looks at Acme with newfound interest*
"Hm... Yes I think I can work something out. Maybe some armor too?You'd have to go offline when I'm ready to attach it all, but I'm sure we could find the time.
By the way, has anyone seen Rio? I haven't even heard him in the past few hours..."
*BEEP*
That would be most satisfactory Kaelar. I normally power down for an hour or two every week to allow my processors time to degauss.
*BEEP*
As to the whereabouts of young master Rio, I must confess I haven't seen him recently.
