Ash nods and smiles at Jezzika, moving to eat her meal with an amused smile. NOtice Jezz drinking the wine, Ash will experimentally drink some of the wine as well, easily feeling it's effects from the first ccup. She will not deny Jezz giving her more wine if she offers, and with more glasses, she will soon begin to relax, laughing a little and smiling happily. Her demeanor slowly begins to change to a more affectionate one as she slightly leans on Jezz
Con save for drinking: 4
2nd drink: 6
After a couple of drinks, Ash is probably visibly drunk (thanks to her low tolerance) and seems to stay close to Jezz. She looks around the room curiously. "Hey! Is there any music in here? Th... That would be cool."
Svana leans back in her seat and crosses her legs, thinking of how to answer Duke. “Well, I’m sure these things will come in due time, such as emotion, but for feeling and consumption?” Her eyes hover over the group, only to fall on Gwen. “Perhaps you could ask Gwen to give you some upgrades in that regard? She seemed interested in you from the start, I’m sure she would agree.”
She takes a drink and sets the empty cup back down on the table. “And to describe them wouldn’t be easy... Some emotions are worth while, others are not. Food and drink can effect how you feel.” She points to Ash. “She’s affectionate because of the drink, and Jezz is more relaxed. It all depends if you perceive them as something you would like to experience.”

Gwen's eyes light up, "I would be honored! I wonder if I could some how... yes. Maybe we could even convert the food into consumable energy... you know like a person but different because you're you! Oh my this could be very interesting. It could be as simple as some gears rotating and storing that energy they create just by you chewing... and the the food well... we well we can cross that bridge later."

"This appears to be a typical blind cave fish species I used to eat often as a child - I can't remember the name but I do recognize i-"Jezzika began answering Svana, and then felt Ash lean on her shoulder. "Oh, hello!"she smiled warmly, patting her cheek. Then Ash suggested music.
(Unless someone wants to toot and noot an instrument, the koa-toa can bust out something and play some tunes that won't hurt the ears too bad.)
During the meal, Archpriest Ploop gets to the point.
"With your permission, I would like to use you all as bait. The Archpriest of the Deep Father, my daughter Blopp, needs humanoid sacrifices to this "Leemooggoogoon", and you all represent a prize collection in that regard. In an act, I will offer you all as a “token of peace and reconciliation” to get closer to my daughter who is well protected. Don't worry, you will not be helpless prisoners, but infiltrators. I want you all to disrupt the upstart faction’s rituals, allowing my true believers of the Sea Mother to cut off the head of the cult. I need you all to provide a distraction at the altar. Do this for me, and you all will be well rewarded for your aid."

Ash happily smiles as Quinn begins to play music for them. "Ah! Thank you Quinn!" She happily gets up from the table and gives him a hug before smiling excitedly, moving to grab Jezz's hand. "I believe I promised a dance?" Ash laughs happily as she practically pulls Jezz to her feet and over to where there is open space. Through her drunken mind, Ash seemingly doesn't hear the priestess and leaves the others to discussing the plans.
Performance for drunk dancing: 7
If at dis: 21
Ash, a little more drunk than she thought, stumbles a few time in her dancing but laughs nonetheless. Happy and very drunk.
Duke looks at Ash as she stumbles around and steps on Jezzika's toes to the rhythm of Quinn and the kuo-toa's performances. "Inquisition: What is Ash doing with her body?"

"Well, I'm not sure when they would be ready. I'd have to do some research and observe you and... if you allow I might have to open you up and see your insides... I am a scientist.

Amara gives the priestess a calculating look. "How would we not be prisoners? Would our bonds be loosened, would we have weapons, et cetera? How precisely will we gain an advantage? I'm going to need some details."
Away from the dancing performance in the hopes that he will avoid an imminent danger, Ree'lyn is relieved for the archpriest Ploopploopeen deciding to speak up, but then this idea seemed all the worst - "Archpriest Ploopploopeen" - the Drow address to the Kuo-Toa with a greeting nod. - "do we have a choice in this or is your plan set, leaving no room for some changes? Also, do you have a map for the area we are supposed to be taken in? I would like my companions to know exactly we could go in case of a escape is needed and to know exactly where this sacrificial place lies." - of course this was madness. How could they trust the Kuo-Toa instead of leaving and letting them kill each other? - "Also, where would your soldiers be positioned during our infiltration? "

"Why, yes, I believe you di-WHOA!"Jezzika was pulled to her feet and Ash danced with her. Ash clearly had a few too many, and it made Jezz laugh and enjoy the dance more.
Performance: 18
Tripping and crashing hard on the floor, Jezzika laid sprawled out and just laughed and laughed, her dancing skills completely not working, nor her dexterity, at all.
Archpriest Ploop:Do not worry, your bindings as "prisoners" will be loose and unlocked, and you will have all of your gear. I will present you all to my daughter, who will, in turn, think I am bringing you all to her as a sacrifice. That will give my soldiers and I, who will be near you at all times, close enough to strike these heretics down. Once the battle begins you can shake off the bonds and return back here. My soldiers will protect you. You are simply the bait that will allow us to get near my daughter.
Ash laughs as Jezz tumbles to the floor, offering her hand happily to Jezz. "Sorry. Guess I pulled you here too fast eh?" She giggles a little and helps Jezz to her feet, slightly swaying to Quinn and the Kua-Toa's music. The two probably look a little ridiculous, drunk and laughing at the littlest things while the other (sober) members watch them with amusement and slight concern.

"Yeah, you should have warned me if we were either dancing or wrestling."she laughed back as she got back to her feet and resumed dancing. "I'm not even as tipsy as you are, how embarrassing. I hope no one saw me!!"she laughed uproariously at the obvious answer.
Ash smiles and nods and laughs. "Yeah... Sorry about that. But I don't think you can get away with ignoring that one." She moves to keep dancing as the others talk and laugh around them.
