Session 91

[7:03 PM] DM: As you head up closer, you notice that there's a couple people milling about outside the door wearing splashes of purple on their clothes, a shoulder piece, a sash, a bit of fabric that peeks out under their short robes.
[7:05 PM] DM: One of them spots you, a human woman with a nasty scar, and walks your way, intercepting you before you can reach the door. "What do you want." It comes out more as a warning away than an actual question.
[7:11 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "Hello," Ryleigh smiles at the woman. "We don't want any trouble, we're just visiting Halolis and thought we'd stop by to see what was left of the castle. We have a few scholars among us that were interested in any achieves that might still available to the public."
[7:12 PM] DM: Give me a deception check.
[7:12 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: ((23))
[7:14 PM] DM: She glances over the party, clearly taking notice of your weapons and muscle. "Nothin's 'available to the public.' You gotta talk to Aria if you want anything."
[7:15 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "Aria? Alright. Where would I be able to find her?"
[7:16 PM] DM: She groans and rolls her eyes. "Follow me." As she turns, she shouts at the others who were waiting for her to return. "You better not finish that story before I get back, Maia!"
[7:17 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Sending the woman a charming smile, Ryleigh thanks her and follows.
[7:18 PM] DM: She steps through the door and leads you through a hall full of statues. They are all what appears to be human men, each statue of less skill and quality than the last. Many also look like they have taken arrows to the face or have chunks missing from them like they were used for target practice. The walls behind them are also pockmarked.
[7:21 PM] Urrak: "Y'see? Now that's fascinatin'. It's like ye can see th' degradation o' Halolian culture as th' years went on," Urrak says softly to Brimeia(edited)
[7:24 PM] Brimeia: Brimeia just glances sideways at Urrak before shrugging with a "Sure, if you say so."
[7:19 PM] Seirixori: "This looks like I tried to shoot arrows at things..." Seir murmers as they walk.(edited)
[7:20 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "You just need someone to teach you," Ryleigh gently says to Seir.
[7:22 PM] Seirixori: "My mother tried," her tone's a little sad but she doesn't say much more.
[7:22 PM] DM: As you approach the end of the hall, a woman's voice rings through the entry. "I don't care, Danaus. If I see your ugly face without my stone again, I'm going to use it as a fucking foot stool!" [7:23 PM] DM: A man rushes past you all and your escort tries to stifle her laugh before gesturing for you all to enter.
[7:24 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh enters.
[7:25 PM] Urrak: Urrak smirks, shakes her head, and follows behind Ryleigh.
[7:26 PM] DM: A human woman in a purple gown is draining a cup of wine as you enter, then smashes it against a wall, grumbling to herself. She's probably in her mid-30s, beautiful, long black hair with olive skin.
[7:27 PM] DM: Escort: "Aria, these folks wanna... study or somethin'."
[7:28 PM] DM: Aria rubs the bridge of her nose. "Merope, did you literally lead a war party into my damn parlor?"
[7:28 PM] Seirixori: Seir snorts, trying to cover a laugh.
[7:28 PM] DM: Merope rubs the back of her neck. "She said they were scholars..."
[7:29 PM] Brimeia: Brimeia does her best not to look too interested.
[7:30 PM] Urrak: "I mean, I wouldn't call m'self a scholar per se but I dabble in," she looks around at her present company, "Uh, various, totally unimportant things..."
[7:30 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh tilts her head in a slight bow to Aria, saying, "M' lady, we don't want any trouble. My group and I are simply seeking information on the Crotamis family. It's my understanding that lineage documents are usually kept in the family's castle - seeing as this once belonged to them, I was hoping that information might still be available."
[7:33 PM] DM: She sighs and dismisses Merope with a flick of her wrist before plopping down into the throne near sideways, legs draped over an armrest. "And why are you seeking this information?"
[7:34 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "To help a friend," Ryleigh offers politely.
[7:35 PM] Urrak: Urrak nods her head in agreement
[7:37 PM] DM: Aria stands and flicks her wrist as if to silence Ryleigh. "You bore me." She walks closer, looking at each of you as she passes. She stops at Seirixori. "You. Why are you here?"
[7:41 PM] Seirixori: Seir blinks and looks surprised. She takes her time answering, looking over Aria as she does. "To help a friend, as she said." She pauses and purses her lips, "...and to find someone."
[7:47 PM] DM: Aria sighs and points at Urrak. "You. What are you looking for?"
[7:48 PM] Urrak: "Here? N-nothin' personally. Jus', uh, helpin' our friend Brimeia out."(edited)
[7:50 PM] DM: Aria groans and walks away to fill another cup with wine. "You're all terribly boring. I suppose Merope might not have been wrong about you being scholars."(edited)
[7:52 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "I need to know if the Crotamis family was tied to a devil," Ryleigh says casually, smirking at Aria.
[7:53 PM] DM: Aria pauses mid-sip then finishes off the glass. "Now that's interesting."
[7:56 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "I'm hoping that documentation about their family's lineage, or their rise to power will help me find out if the answer is yes."
[7:58 PM] DM: She lowers her eyelids. "Hmmm... I can grant you access to the archives... for a price."
[8:00 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "Nothing is ever free, is it? M'lady." Ryleigh says, quirking an eyebrow. "What's your price?"
[8:03 PM] DM: "I need someone... disposable to help cement an alliance between myself and Ismene. You act on my behalf for her and I will grant you access to the archives. Displease her and I'll have you strung up on the walls."
[8:04 PM] Seirixori: Seir starts muttering infernal curses under her breath.
[8:05 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh's face remains impassive. "How do I know the archives weren't burned during the fall? I'd like to be assured you'll grant me access to something that actually exists before I risk the lives of the my friends," she counters.(edited)
[8:09 PM] DM: Aria steps closer to Ryleigh and drags the edge of a nail down her jaw. "Maybe you do have some bite after all." She smirks. "What do you want as proof?"
[8:15 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "I'd like Rukiya," Ryleigh says, gesturing to the woman standing next to her, "to be escorted to the room where the archives are, to ensure they're actually there." Her lips curl into a charming smile. "If you find that agreeable."
[8:20 PM] DM: She purses her lips for a moment, then claps twice. Immediately, a woman in armor steps out of an unnoticed alcove. Aria gestures and Rukiya tilts her head in a half-bow before following the armored woman out of the room.
[8:24 PM] Seirixori: Seir, unable to keep quiet now that they're here, asks, "Would asking if you know of a name cost anything?"
[8:28 PM] DM: Aria smiles and steps closer to Seir. "You would not make a very good negotiator if you ask if there is a cost involved." Her eyes wander over Seir a bit. "Ask and we can talk price depending on the answer. I can't be expected to know everyone."
[8:29 PM] DM: Aria smiles and steps closer to Seir. "You would not make a very good negotiator if you ask if there is a cost involved." Her eyes wander over Seir a bit. "Ask and we can talk price depending on the answer. I can't be expected to know everyone."
[8:31 PM] Seirixori: Seir shrugs and nods to Ryleigh, "That's why she generally does it." Seir frowns and taps her finger on her hip lightly, "How about more of a title than a regular name? The Shadow Walker ring any bells?"
[8:34 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh watches the exchange, her face remaining neutral. A slight twitch of Ryleigh's eyebrow is the only indication of concern she reveals.(edited)
[8:35 PM] DM: Aria slowly shakes her head. "No, I can't say it does."
[8:38 PM] Seirixori: Seir studies her for a moment before nodding, "Thank you."
[8:39 PM] DM: Her eyes move over the rest of you again before stopping on Brimeia. "You look familiar."
[8:44 PM] Urrak: "Bri here was a champion fighter not too far back. Ye must've seen her in th' ring" Urrak clears her throat
[8:55 PM] Brimeia: Brimeia tenses at the question, relaxing a little after Aria seems to accept Urrak's response, but a bit more on edge than before.
[8:50 PM] DM: Aria's eyes dance over her when Rukiya and the guard return. Rukiya nods to Ry.
[8:53 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "Okay, so what exactly would you like us to do to help this alliance between you and Ismene?"
[8:55 PM] DM: Aria smiles. "Simple. You're going to meet one of her captains and dispose of the one who calls himself the Bandit King."
[8:57 PM] Brimeia: Brimeia's eyes widen.
[8:57 PM] Brimeia: "No way..." she murmurs to herself out loud.
[8:58 PM] Urrak: "Sure, seems easy enough," Urrak says sarcastically
[8:59 PM] Seirixori: "Dead bandits are my favorite kind of bandits." Seir mutters darkly.
[9:00 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh crosses her arms and tilts her head slightly. "You want us to assassinate the man who controls the farmlands - why? I thought you'd be more concerned with the slums bordering the city."
[9:02 PM] DM: Aria's smirk fades. "Because that is the job I have for you. Amphion will have his turn in time."
[9:04 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "My apologies," Ryleigh says, bowing her head slightly. "Where can we meet up with Ismene, or her captain?"

[9:07 PM] DM: "At the harbor. Look for the Revenge if Ismene's people don't pick you up first."
[9:11 PM] Urrak: "Alright then, guess we got a job t' do," Urrak folds her arms
[9:11 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "We'll take care of it and when we succeed, we'll be back. If you double cross me, I can assure you - you will regret it."
[9:14 PM] DM: She smirks, appearing amused, but with a flash in her eye. "Don't push it, girl."
[9:14 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: With a quirk of her eyebrow, Ryleigh turns and walks out the way they came.
[9:15 PM] Seirixori: Seir follows her almost immediately.
[9:15 PM] Brimeia: Brimeia follows them quietly and waits until they're well clear to breathe a sigh of relief.
[9:16 PM] Brimeia: "I can't believe we just met Aria."
[9:16 PM] Brimeia: "She's hot," she adds after a moment.
