You travel from Elfsong Tavern, go shopping along the street, and head to the bathhouse to arrive at 8pm. The bathhouse is a one-story stuccoed building with stained-glass windows and clay roof tiles. Ten-foot-tall walls enclose a large courtyard outside the southeast corner of the building. The closed wooden doors to the courtyard are engraved with images of smiling nymphs dancing and frolicking in water. There’s nothing outwardly suspicious about the bathhouse, you notice. The doors leading to the courtyard (area D1) are unlocked and unguarded. According to a small sign, the bathhouse closes at midnight and reopens at dawn, and a few city commoners are coming and going at this time.
(The players map doesn't even bother concealing the secret door in AREA D4, so we'll assume Tarina told you about it)
D1 - THE COURTYARD 8:02PM
This L-shaped courtyard features a trimmed lawn and nicely manicured shrubbery. The yard is decorated with white marble benches and stone fountains, each in the form of a smiling nymph tipping a jug that spills water into a circular stone basin.
D2 - THE BATHS 8:05PM
There are currently 4 commoner here enjoying the facilities. The walls of this twenty-foot-high pillared chamber are adorned with frescoes of bathing royalty. During the day, natural light streams through stained-glass windows, creating colorful patterns on the tiles of polished blue marble that cover the floor. Since it is nighttime, the batthouse is pleasantly lit with low light candlelight. Three shallow, sunken pools contain scintillating perfume-scented water. White marble benches bearing stacks of dry towels are situated near the pools, each of which comes equipped with a pair of brass faucets.
The rooms of D3 and D4 are open, and they contain massage tables draped in clean towels. Bottles of perfume are stored under the table. A beautiful human female masseuse is standing at attention by room D4, and an androgynous human masseuse glides from room D3 and says, "Good evening. I am Jabaz."he slowly gestures towards the woman, "This is Qurmilah. How can we help you today? Bath? Or massage?"
"Hello, Jabaz!" Misha said, walking up to the man. "May I please use one or two of your baths? Then we would like a massage."
"Ah, excellent. Surprisingly, it has been a slow night, we can take care of you, and any of your other friends as you wish."Jabaz said, looking to Qurmilah. "Qurmilah, will you please assist the others when they are ready? Thank you." Jabaz gestured to the changing rooms and said it's 10gp for a bath and massage per person. The money was exchanged, and Misha went into the changing room.
After a few moments, she came out with a towel and wearing her tight black bikini. She made a nod to the next person in line to go change. "Very classy!"she admitted. She put the towel down and dipped her toe in the water - it was perfect. She sat down, settling in. She nearly melted with how good it felt, and spread her arms against the back railing, and gave a loud sigh of pleasure. She leaned over to Amelia. "I'm going to get a massage and knock out Jabaz. I weel do it, come out, and close the door behind me so you know the deed ees done."
Jill was grateful that the baths had private changing room, because the last thing she wanted to do was publicly strip. She changed into what was essentially a dark shirt with short sleeves that went down past her waist, because she was not as confident as others were when it came to her body. She made it a point to get into the bath as quickly as possible, not wanting the employees to see her multiple scars. "I could knock out Qurmilah. I'll make sure to go easy on her, since she's pretty and I don't want to mess that up." She says to Misha, sounding incredibly awkward, either because of the bath or because she sounds like she's crushing on Qurmilah.
Misha flapped her fingers in the water, watching Jill enter the bath, and nodded her head affirmative at what she suggested, smiling. "Aw, how thoughtful!"she teased.
Meep watches the others undress, wrinkling her nose slightly before shrugging and sighing. "Nothing to hide or cover as a frog I suppose. I'm basically always pantsless anyway..." She removes her cloak and gear, sitting it to the side, completely bare frog (because no private parts). She then moves to sit next to the closest drain on the floor near the parties bath, moving water out of it in small balls to douse herself. "How long are we going to bathe for? Because it will take me a while to sufficiently moisturize all of my skin."

Nok Nok bothers not with the undressing, opting instead for the 3-for-1 option: his bi-annual bath, a clothes washing and...is that water warmer near him? “This is nice,” he says, making a few bubbles from below.

Amelia was grateful to have a proper swim suit to wear, but slightly regrets it when she realizes her chest size was nothing near Misha's. It was hard to tell how busty the blonde was under her armor, and it took a few adjustments to get the top to fit her somewhat properly. "Gods damn it, do I wish I had my physique from eleven years ago." She grumbles as she ends up wrapping a towel around her frame and leaves the dressing room. She opens her mouth to speak to her daughter for a second, but Corrin skips right in and shouts "I can change myself!"
With a shrug, she heads to the baths and quickly slips in next to Misha after removing the towel. She melts right into the water, her head lulling back as she listens to Misha and Jill's plans. "Sounds goooood to me." She says idly. "How are we gonna take care of the spare over there?" She mentions, pointing at the commoner.
Corrin happily hops out of the dressing room in a pretty pink one piece, but before jumping into the water she notices Meep's way of getting clean. She spots a big bucket, large enough for the frog, and she shouts, "Meep, wait! Hold on!" And she gets to pushing the bucket near Meep. "Put the water in here and soak in it!" While she waits for her to do so, she noticed Nok Nok dipping in with clothes on and... Bubbles? "Gross, Nok Nok! Gross!!"

Meep smiles at Corrin and nods. "Aw thank you Corrin. But... I think I'll get water from a different bath... " She nods to Nok Nok, knowing Corrin understands. She then moves to get some water from either s different bath or a hose of some sort, happily climbing into the bucket. "This is so much easier. Thank you again Corrin."

"You can knock out the customer. You don't have to go easy on him, since he's not pretty." Jill says to Amelia, like it's perfectly normal to go ham on randos just because they aren't pretty.Then she got quiet again, trying to mentally psych herself up for what she had to do. Just get the massage and knock her out. The woman is not going to hurt you, she's just going to give you a massage. From what Misha says, they're actually pretty good. Merde! What am I to say when she sees my scars? I'm an adventurer, scars come with the job. Yeah. Jill tries to calm herself down by booping Misha's snoot, even making a little "boop" noise as she does so.
Misha slipped into the water and got completely wet. It was fantastic - even though Nok farted in the water. She emerged, wiped her face from the water, wrung out her hair, and re-did her ponytail. She knew a massage was coming next, but the water felt so good. But, she had a job to do. In the meantime, she noticed how Meep and Corrin were having a good time, Jill was a little insecure - but rightly so - and Amelia didn't look too bad for having a kid and being older than Misha. She smiled to herself, but allowed herself a moment of thanks to Bane for the physique she had.
She spied Jabaz and monitored his activity, waiting for the right time to get out and get the massage. In the meantime, she playfully splashed a bit of water in Amelia's direction as she put her arms back outside against the edge of the pool, getting comfortable.
Allynna lets out a sigh of happiness as she slips into the bath in a dark blue bikini that flattered her curves, glad she'd thought to grab the suit from her room. On her lower back, the others can see a strange dark blue mark, twisting through in a design that almost looks like Infernal runes twining together. She glances at the others as they discuss how to do things. "That sounds good to me. I'm definitely not in a position to knock anyone out though," she says softly. "Enjoy your massages and light assault." The elf closes her eyes for a moment as the heat of the tub works its way through her.

Like Wednesday Adams, Persephone walks out wearing a completely black, goth corset-based swimsuit. As usual, she looks bored and embarrassed at the same time. Aloof.
You notice her well toned body, belying her true age, is covered in tattoos, which merely adds to her weirdness even more. As she slips into the water next to Nok Nok, the surface of the water doesn't even ripple.
"This water is adequately warm. Curious." she deadpans, as she begins to relax in the now-filthy dirty water coming off of Nok Nok's body....and other sources.
Whispering to the other three ladies, "Your plan of action is a good one - - - I'll use my feminine wiles to serve as a distraction for the employees, to assist you in your...relaxation endeavors."
With that, she calmly steps out of the water, and walks over to where Jabaz was currently standing. She bends over as if to pick up something that she dropped, exposing her derriere to the androgynous male. When she's down low, she peaks over to Jabaz, and winks. Quickly standing back upright, she walks around to the other side of the pool and slips back in. She then proceeds to casually watch Jabaz, cracking a calming smile (Performance: 9) whenever he happens to be looking at her.
The arrival of Persephone and Allynna did not help Jill with her insecurities in the slightest. Putain, they're all so pretty. Jill just awkwardly sits there in the tub for thirty minutes, until she nervously asks Misha if it's time. When Misha confirms, Jill gets the attention of Qurmilah. "My friend and I are ready for massages. She would like to have Jabaz working on her and I would like to have you give me my massage." I do not know how Amelia plans on taking care of the other, but she seems like she can figure it out.
Seeing Persephone’s poor performance caused a snort to escape from Amelia. At least she tried, she thinks jokingly as her eyes gazed over to the other patron in the baths. When Misha and Jill made their way to get their massages, Amelia picked herself up from the bath and moved to the bath the commoner was at. As she passes by Corrin, she gives the tiefling girl a quick pat on the shoulder, the other response being a simple nod.
Before she asks, she makes sure she’s bending in such a way that their eyes would be drawn to her chest. “Excuse me, do you mind if I join you in the bath? It seems that my, er, friend over there is making a mess of the water...” With a sheepish smile, she points over to Nok Nok and in a low voice says, “He really needs this though. I promise I won’t be much of a bother to you...”

Misha got out of the water and towel dried herself off. It was time.
Jabaz had the room ready, and as Misha stepped in, Jabaz tried to remain professional looking over the physical specimen who's muscles he was about to kneed. Still, an impressed "Oh, my.."escaped his lips and Misha laid down. "I am ready!"she said pleasantly. Jabaz performed his work well, Misha relaxed and felt the expert hands and fingers squeeze and work all of Misha nicely, from neck to toes, and at times she was so comfortable she thought she was going to fall asleep. When Jabaz was done, he washed his hands and allowed Misha to sit up, where she said, "Thet was very good, Jabaz, you hef EXPERT hands. Your technique is impressive. I almost feel bad about what i'm about to do next."Jabaz slowly turned around, smiling slightly, appreciate of the comment. "And what would that b-"
Jabaz was about to place a towel on Misha's back, but with a swift elbow to his head, Misha stuck fast and Jabaz slammed against the back wall, crumpled like a leaf in the corner, completely out. "That. Sorry."
Misha walked out of the room, and closed the door. She twisted the door handle in a way that would make it difficult to open the door, bending it. She gave the look to Amelia, and Jill.
With the commoner showing no qualms with sharing the water with her, she slips near by them and when she hears the click of the massage doors closing, she passes a glance over to Corrin.
The tiefling bounces in place, excited to be the distraction, and then runs full speed to the pool her mother and the commoner were in. “CANNON BALL!” She shouts gleefully as she jumps and crashes straight into the bath, sending water pretty much everywhere. “Sorry about this.” With the opening she needed, Amelia gets to it and punches the patron straight in the face to knock them out successfully. “Thanks, Cory!”
The tiefling pops out of the water with a beaming smile on her face. “No problem, mama! Want some help?” Amelia shakes her head, getting out of the water as she picks up and half drags the unconscious commoner into a changing room before locking it shut. She looks over to Misha and gives her a thumbs up.

Jill went along with Qurmilah. The woman was nice in addition to being pretty, which didn't make Jill feel any better about what she was going to do. She very quickly undressed and got down on the bed, making sure to have Qurmilah put a towel over her more private regions. She was pleasantly surprised when Qurmilah didn't ask about her scars and tried to relax so that she could get her job done. When she finished up, Jill awkwardly looked at her and said. "I'm sorry." She pulled her arms over Qurmilah's neck, trying to catch the other woman in a sleeperhold until she lost consciousness. "I apologize for this. I need you to be out for a bit, but you're so pretty and I do not want to mess that up by striking you. Please do not take this as something personal, you did an excellent job."
It was an entirely unpleasant experience, dealing with the struggling woman, not because she was able to match for Jill, but because she was so scared and desperate and it made her feel guilty. After a few moments, Qurmilah passed out. Jill spent the next few moments having a panic attack in the corner, half out of guilt for assaulting an innocent woman and half because she genuinely did not enjoy being in various states of undress around other people, especially ones that were prettier than her. When she finished, she left 10 gold for Qurmilah's services, plus another one for the trouble. After taking a moment to check that she was still breathing, Jill threw on a towel and did the same as Misha did to ensure that no one would come in. She gives the nod to the others and then very quickly goes back to the dressing room to get her clothes on and calm down.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Earlier:
Yoska lofts a brow, and then lets it fall with a grin. "Sugar bear. I've bathe communal more times than I care to remember, and with folk far, far stranger."He winks down at her. "Just prioritizing a good deed over relaxation is all." Having said that, his focus returns to 'mission' at hand, and offer of a handshake he says, "Yoska Vistani. 'nd it is a pleasure to pleasure to meet you."He extends a similar greeting to Corrin, but cannot help but try and ruffle her hair afterwards. Despite all of his earlier friendliness, it takes a backseat during the beginning of the journey. He would still smile and nod, or give the odd opinion. But Jill would get the sense he took the job of 'guard' more seriously than let on.
Eventually he did open up, if only due to Jill or Corrin's ongoing efforts, and would tell the tale of his journey to Baldur's Gate. All of it sounded fantastical, strange terms were interjected thoughtlessly, and length of some misadventures sounded as if they took far longer than even a few month's journey might; even if the whole travel through other planes of existence was to be fully believed. Indeed, for all his flamboyance in retelling the story and youthful visage, when looking him directly in the eye, it might be hard to shake the feeling of grandfatherly impression there. Eventually, he gets back on to the little tiefling's request and say, "In the end, buttercup, I'm here for my sister's sake. Hoping to scrap together enough coin to put together a mercenary company. That way she don't go rushing off on her own to deal with little vamp problem back home... Speak'n of. I wonder what she's up to right now?"
Present: Yoska himself never shows up in the baths. But strangely enough...
People could swear there was a giant mass of white swimming beneath the waters(of various baths?) from time to time, only to disappear in bubbles or distracting chitter chatter. Once everyone is mobilized however, a soggy, silvered-eye giant weasel creeps along at the back of the pack.
Corrin gasps in excitement seeing the giant weasel after redressing herself in her leathers. “Mom, can I ride it, can I ride it?” She asks, practically bouncing around the place. “Pleeeeeease?”
Amelia raises an eyebrow at the animal. “Uh... ask... it?”
Corrin asks, and because Oreo super cool and awesome, she is allowed to ride the weasel moving forward.

Misha got out of the water and towel dried herself off. It was time.
Jabaz had the room ready, and as Misha stepped in, Jabaz tried to remain professional looking over the physical specimen who's muscles he was about to kneed. Still, an impressed "Oh, my.." escaped his lips and Misha laid down. "I am ready!" she said pleasantly. Jabaz performed his work well, Misha relaxed and felt the expert hands and fingers squeeze and work all of Misha nicely, from neck to toes, and at times she was so comfortable she thought she was going to fall asleep. When Jabaz was done, he washed his hands and allowed Misha to sit up, where she said, "Thet was very good, Jabaz, you hef EXPERT hands. Your technique is impressive. I almost feel bad about what i'm about to do next." Jabaz slowly turned around, smiling slightly, appreciate of the comment. "And what would that b-"
Jabaz was about to place a towel on Misha's back, but with a swift elbow to his head, Misha stuck fast and Jabaz slammed against the back wall, crumpled like a leaf in the corner, completely out. "That. Sorry."
Misha walked out of the room, and closed the door. She twisted the door handle in a way that would make it difficult to open the door, bending it. She gave the look to Amelia, and Jill.
With the commoner showing no qualms with sharing the water with her, she slips near by them and when she hears the click of the massage doors closing, she passes a glance over to Corrin.
The tiefling bounces in place, excited to be the distraction, and then runs full speed to the pool her mother and the commoner were in. “CANNON BALL!” She shouts gleefully as she jumps and crashes straight into the bath, sending water pretty much everywhere. “Sorry about this.” With the opening she needed, Amelia gets to it and punches the patron straight in the face to knock them out successfully. “Thanks, Cory!”
The tiefling pops out of the water with a beaming smile on her face. “No problem, mama! Want some help?” Amelia shakes her head, getting out of the water as she picks up and half drags the unconscious commoner into a changing room before locking it shut. She looks over to Misha and gives her a thumbs up.

Jill went along with Qurmilah. The woman was nice in addition to being pretty, which didn't make Jill feel any better about what she was going to do. She very quickly undressed and got down on the bed, making sure to have Qurmilah put a towel over her more private regions. She was pleasantly surprised when Qurmilah didn't ask about her scars and tried to relax so that she could get her job done. When she finished up, Jill awkwardly looked at her and said. "I'm sorry." She pulled her arms over Qurmilah's neck, trying to catch the other woman in a sleeperhold until she lost consciousness. "I apologize for this. I need you to be out for a bit, but you're so pretty and I do not want to mess that up by striking you. Please do not take this as something personal, you did an excellent job."
It was an entirely unpleasant experience, dealing with the struggling woman, not because she was able to match for Jill, but because she was so scared and desperate and it made her feel guilty. After a few moments, Qurmilah passed out. Jill spent the next few moments having a panic attack in the corner, half out of guilt for assaulting an innocent woman and half because she genuinely did not enjoy being in various states of undress around other people, especially ones that were prettier than her. When she finished, she left 10 gold for Qurmilah's services, plus another one for the trouble. After taking a moment to check that she was still breathing, Jill threw on a towel and did the same as Misha did to ensure that no one would come in. She gives the nod to the others and then very quickly goes back to the dressing room to get her clothes on and calm down.

Earlier:
Yoska lofts a brow, and then lets it fall with a grin. "Sugar bear. I've bathe communal more times than I care to remember, and with folk far, far stranger." He winks down at her. "Just prioritizing a good deed over relaxation is all." Having said that, his focus returns to 'mission' at hand, and offer of a handshake he says, "Yoska Vistani. 'nd it is a pleasure to pleasure to meet you." He extends a similar greeting to Corrin, but cannot help but try and ruffle her hair afterwards. Despite all of his earlier friendliness, it takes a backseat during the beginning of the journey. He would still smile and nod, or give the odd opinion. But Jill would get the sense he took the job of 'guard' more seriously than let on.
Eventually he did open up, if only due to Jill or Corrin's ongoing efforts, and would tell the tale of his journey to Baldur's Gate. All of it sounded fantastical, strange terms were interjected thoughtlessly, and length of some misadventures sounded as if they took far longer than even a few month's journey might; even if the whole travel through other planes of existence was to be fully believed. Indeed, for all his flamboyance in retelling the story and youthful visage, when looking him directly in the eye, it might be hard to shake the feeling of grandfatherly impression there. Eventually, he gets back on to the little tiefling's request and say, "In the end, buttercup, I'm here for my sister's sake. Hoping to scrap together enough coin to put together a mercenary company. That way she don't go rushing off on her own to deal with little vamp problem back home... Speak'n of. I wonder what she's up to right now?"
Present:
Yoska himself never shows up in the baths. But strangely enough...
Stealth: 18.
People could swear there was a giant mass of white swimming beneath the waters(of various baths?) from time to time, only to disappear in bubbles or distracting chitter chatter. Once everyone is mobilized however, a soggy, silvered-eye giant weasel creeps along at the back of the pack.
When you realize you're doing too much: Signature.
Corrin gasps in excitement seeing the giant weasel after redressing herself in her leathers. “Mom, can I ride it, can I ride it?” She asks, practically bouncing around the place. “Pleeeeeease?”
Amelia raises an eyebrow at the animal. “Uh... ask... it?”
Corrin asks, and because Oreo super cool and awesome, she is allowed to ride the weasel moving forward.
