As the three, now five, of you follow alongside Isaac, he retrieves a folder containing several pictures and files. Additionally, he shows you to your three separate chambers for the night. After that, it is the matter of meeting the “Q,” as Imani calls him, of the Mage’s Association. In a workshop located at the edge of the campus, the dim light of burning candles illuminates a small work desk. However, your view of the desk is blocked by a positively hulking frame. A hunched over figure looms over the table with his back to you all, roughly 6’5” while hunched over. Isaac clears his throat, “Ramseys.” and the figure turns. Before you all is a man that can only be described as a wall of muscle. His smithing smock and thick leathers barely contain the musculature of the man. His eyes are deep-seat and one is covered by a small jeweler’s glass which is unobstructed due to his short, pushed back hair. You notice that the arm of the man is made of pure metal and he currently holds in his other hand a pair of tiny tweezers, “‘Ello.”
OOC > Did we spend the night already? Or did he just show us where we will be staying for the night after we deal with Ramseys. Before then getting on the plane. Have I got the schedule right?

OOC: Correct. Showed the rooms, took you to Ramseys, gonna get you your weapons, go back, nap, fly, get killed by the other masters of the war. That’s the current schedule.

Sarai nods, and slips her shoes and socks off. "I like men of few words. I'll be needing a shifting cloak of some sort, deceptive to the eyes. I saw one being used by some wanker a few years ago. That is, I saw him at the end of my sight, and I'll be damned if I kept missing him. You have something like that, I trust. And then, I'll be needing some sort of night vision goggles, but they'll need to fit my real face."
At this, the small human woman who is Sarai seems to shift, bends at the waist as if she's in some sort of discomfort, and then she shakes herself all over, and the shaking seems to shake out... feathers? When she stands up again, Sarai has been transformed into a half-person, half-bird hybrid, still dressed in the same clothes she was before. She stands on black, scaled bird legs that end in short talons, her arms are covered in short brown feathers, getting longer as they reach her wrists (but they are not wings, clearly), and her hands are almost furred in fine feathers. Most arresting, and inhuman, is her head and face. A short beak-like mouth is framed by large and luminescent golden eyes, a natural black mask of feathers crossing her features. She tilts her head to the side, and quirks a smile with a beak that is more than that, then stretches languidly.
"Oh, that feels better!" she says, her voice still the cultured semi-British you have been hearing, if a little more clipped and... chirpy. She turns again to Ramseys, "The goggles will need to fit this face, if you please."

Imani closes her eyes and focuses on her breathing. No problem. Nothing to worry about,she thinks to herself. Just a werebird buying some clothes. What's the big deal?
After a few moments the shock has passed. She walks through the neatly organized storeroom, running her hand over what looks like every single prop from Game of Thrones. Silver gauntlets, a tremendous sword, a small brass wind-up beetle...
Nothing catches her eye, but then...
Sitting in the corner she spies a solitary box on a small table. Inside, she finds three simple bracelet-sized rings: one of a dark wood, one of burnished copper, and one of what looks like amethyst. A faded card on the table reads "Pact-Keeper". Without thinking, she slips the bands onto her left arm.
"BAHAHAHA" Oscar bursts out into a huge laughing fit that shakes his whole body. "I'm... mch... s sorry." He says and wipes tears from his eyes. "You're a... mch..." He laughs some more before finally choking out between chortles, "a big bird!"

"These will do," Imani says with a grin as she walks back to Ramseys. "I'm having trouble with the second one, though; I don't really know what to look for. Any advice?"
The Caster looks within, closing his eyes for several moments as the others look around the shop. Then reaches his hands out. Into one hand flies a silver ring, and into the other, a gnarled staff. "Suffice, these will," he says softly, appraising both objects with keen eyes.
He hands the ring over to Oz. "A useful trinket, think you?"
Ramseys stands up, reaching his full 7-foot height, and walks over to a coatrack. He lifts a delicately designed black cloak off of a hanger, as well as a pair of goggles that seem to be carved from the bone of... well a variety of things, “Displacer Beast Pelt and a pair of Mother Night Goggles. Should be ‘bout what you want. Careful, they’re pretty new. Ain’t as powerful as some of the old stuff.”
Ramseys looks over to Imani, “Yeah, that’s a broken Rod of the Pact Keeper, was repurposed for some jewel magic. Works ‘bout as good, magic hasn’t left it. Still needs a palm on that center gem though, so keep that in mind whenever you use it.” Ramseys reaches his metal arm under the desk and pulls out a small chess Rook looking item, “You wanna try this? It’s a tiny tower. Grows.”
Ramseys looks over to Caster and Oz, “Yeah, go ahead. That’s a staff carved by druids from the...” He counts one handed, “Eh, a bit ago. The other one is just your standard jewel magic ring. You put a spell in, it holds. You want the spell out, it goes.”

Sarai gives Oz the side-eye, which is easier to do in her natural form, but ignores his "joke." To Ramseys she says, "I am more comfortable with new than ancient, thank you, these will do." She goes back to her pile of stuff and puts the goggles in her pack, draping the cloak over the whole with her coat. Then she turns to watch the antics of the Masters and Servants.

"And you are the quartermaster," Sarai states, rather than asks. She dumps her stuff in a corner and takes her coat off again, adding it to the pile.
