AREA T11

Ysa, as you make your way to the shrine, you're stopped by Saede, from the back of the bathhouse. "Excuse me." he says pleasantly. "Please remain on the bathhouse grounds. Thank you!"

Before turning and replying to Saede, Ysabell casted Detect Evil and Good to see if she there were any abnormalities in the Shrine beyond (or anywhere within 30ft of here)

(ooc: also sorry but remind me who Saede is??)  

You can't detect any anomalies, but Saede, the handsome young man who you first met at reception, insists you return to the bathhouse. Those two building are off limits.

Garmus leaves the employee's room as he found it, listening at the door before leaving and peeking out slowly.  He wonders about the items he found.  Did they belong to the employee or were they stolen by them?  Exiting the building, he sees Ysa in the courtyard and heads towards her.  

A young helf-elf female walked along gracefully, approaching the Restful Lilly.  She was right about 5'9" with long dark red hair and if one had to guess, they would assume she was about 20 years old.  She wore a green dress that was trimmed in gold, the top of it was tight with a low cut and the bottom was ankle length and flowing with several slits in it that went up close to the thigh.  The dress accented her slender yet curvaceous body.  You could see some goldish colored scales that were on her upper arms and the sides of her head that were the true evidence of her draconic bloodline - they were delicate and and ornate, dare I say beautiful.  She was quite beautiful - the kind of beauty that would cause some people to stare at her as she went by.  By no means did she look wealthy but rather more of a commoner.  She had a crossbow sung over her shoulder and carried a short staff in her hand.  She had an earring in her right ear - a clasp on her upper part of her ear with a delicate chain that went down to the lower part of her ear.  On her right hand was a simple copper ring.

Crystal approached the front desk where Saeth held his post.  She listened politely to him as he gave his short 'Welcome to the Restful.... blah blah blah', once he was done, she gazed at him thoughtfully and then asks "Do you offer any friends or family discounts here?  I was told by a good friend that I just HAVE to come see Llmar for a massage and I'm thinking that because it was SO HIGHLY recommended AND that I would like to stay the night....maybe you might just be willing to give me a bit of a break on the cost." she coos in her most persuasive voice possible.

per-Suave-sive Crystal: 23 

She finally pays the price they agree upon and heads towards her room.  Not having much of value other than her staff and a simple copper ring, she places her items down, undresses and places a robe around her.  She runs a few fingers through her dark red hair to ensure it straight but not to straight.... just sexy enough before heading out the door and over towards the HIGHLY recommended masseuse.  She enters the treatment room area to find Llmar only to accidentally stumble upon Eralynn getting a good rub-down "Oh my god, oh my god!  I am so sorry!  I didn't realize you were with someone!"  She quickly places her hand over her eyes in embarrassment "I didn't see anything!  honest! I am so sorry!" she exclaims as she backs out of the room.  "I'll just wait out here" she exclaims from the other side of the door.

"Do you offer any friends or family discounts here?  I was told by a good friend that I just HAVE to come see Llmar for a massage and I'm thinking that because it was SO HIGHLY recommended AND that I would like to stay the night....maybe you might just be willing to give me a bit of a break on the cost." 
"Well, with manners like that, I would be a fool to refuse." Saeth admits, penciling you in and agreeing to a fair price.

Oh **** yes. Eralynn's eyes dilated comically at the sight of Ilmar's gooey hands, drenched in amazing smelling bath oils, ready to place them all over Eralynn's lean body. She tried to keep her breathing under control as he grew near, the scent of him filling her nostrils. Ready to touch her, he slowly started to remove the towel off of her chest, and she nearly---

"Oh my god, oh my god!  I am so sorry!  I didn't realize you were with someone!"  She quickly places her hand over her eyes in embarrassment "I didn't see anything!  honest! I am so sorry!" she exclaims as she backs out of the room.  "I'll just wait out here" she exclaims from the other side of the door.

Ilmar startled visibly as Crystal entered, and so did Eralynn, as one of the bowls filled oil nearby fell and crashed to the floor, making a tremendous mess. "Oh, shit." he barked, laughing. Eralynn grabbed her towel and craned her head to see who had interrupted her man-sex. She meant, massage, who had interrupted her massage. "I am terribly sorry. Please, I will need a minute to clean this mess, I cannot perform my duties in such disarray. I--" and he nearly slipped, bumping into a dresser, which he grabbed on to, and he fell, the cabinet toppling over. 

It was clear the massage was over, and Eralynn, burning with desire a moment ago, was once again blocked. Not even thinking about Ilmar anymore, she put on her robe, walked out, stopped in front of Crystal and stood there, armed folded across her chest, giving you a decently withering glare.

Crystal's face was beet red from the incident.... she felt terrible for intruding on the se massage on Eralynn.  As Eralynn emerged and met her with crossed arms and a glare she could only attempt to apologize "I am soooooo sorry!  Saeth told me to come in here after I paid.... I had no idea!  I would never have...." it didn't matter, the damage was done.... she hung her head in remorse and put her right hand on her forehead as she closed her eyes "How could you be so stupid?" she whispered to herself.

Eralynn glared at her only a moment longer. Sex, it seemed, wasn't in the cards this level either. She sighed. It was an accident. She smiled softly. No massage for me? No massage for you. Ugh, she's pretty. Ok, keep your puss in your robe. You could see she has terrible scarring on her neck from an old wound. Eralynn did a waving motion, as if saying, come with me.

Ecko settles down in the springs and flips fresh cucumber slices over his eyes. This place had everything. "You may. I'm Ecko. You live in the woods? Neat. How long have you been here? I've heard some strange things about this place. Have you?"

"I do indeed live in the woods. I have worked here for only a few months. I am employed to bathe any and all visitors. Would you like fresh cucumber slices, and for me to start with your feet?"

"Doesn't matter to me," Ecko happily replies. He immediately orders as many cucumber slices as possible with full intentions of eating them rather than placing them over his eyes. After all, why couldn't he test the spa's limits? After crunching on some cucumber, he speaks; "In your few months, have you noticed anything strange? Off? Patrons who go missing? Who never leave? Strange...I am investigating the disappearance of a friend. Have you seen or heard of a man named Falthrax?" 

Eralynn glared at her only a moment longer. Sex, it seemed, wasn't in the cards this level either. She sighed. It was an accident. She smiled softly. No massage for me? No massage for you. Ugh, she's pretty. Ok, keep your puss in your robe. You could see she has terrible scarring on her neck from an old wound. Eralynn did a waving motion, as if saying, come with me.

As she picks her head up, she sees Eralynn change her stance and smile at her "I truly sorry... I really had no idea." she states, still attempting to apologize.  Noticing the scarring on her neck and then having Eralynn motion to her as if saying 'come along' she asks curiously "You want me to come with you?"  She pulls her robe on tight and decides to follow Eralynn.  As she starts to follow, she stops Eralynn and motions to her to stop.... she had to try something to see if it worked, she tried to Message Eralynn "Are you able to communicate this way as well?"

"I truly sorry... I really had no idea." 
Eralynn waves it away. No biggie.
"You want me to come with you?" 
She nods. Come.
"Are you able to communicate this way as well?"
For some strange reason, the spell fizzles on her, like tuning into an old TV and there's just static snow.

She was heading into to lobby, looking around for any of her teammates.

"Damn... that was a bust" she mutters to herself.  Crystal follows Eralynn to the lobby area, she notices Eralynn kind of looking around like she is hoping to find someone "You looking for that idiot who told me to just go in?" she inquires.

Eralynn shakes her head no, going to her cubby. She pulls out her sketchbook and her thick drawing pencil and writes, artistically:

I thought I would introduce myself first. My name is Eralynn, i'm a mute, i'm here with my friends looking for someone and we found ourselves here. I believe one of my friends may have more information. Who are you?

She smiles softly and shows you what she wrote. The letters jiggle and animate slightly, as if magic is involved.

"That's so cool, how do you make the letters jiggle and dance like that?  Oh, sorry, Hi Eralynn, it's nice to meet you, I'm Crystal and just this morning I was in Candlekeep and one of the Avowed was all up in arms because his friend Falthrax, who's a dwarf, went missing like a day or two ago... he was going on about Sune this and Sune that and said I should know all this because I have red hair?  Not sure what he meant by that, anyway, I'm like he's probably reading up on Shemshine or spending a few days in Fistandia's Mansion or something.... but he insisted that it had something to do with the Price of Beauty book that he had found.... so, to make a short story longer, he mentioned that a group of you had left to help find him... I'm hoping that's you?  He then told me to make sure I visit Llmar as he knows just the right spots to touch gives really good massages and I'm like 'oh heck ya I could go for a good massage'.  So anyway, I got here about 45 minutes ago and talked with Saeth about a massage and he told me to just go on in and that's when I saw you and your hot little body accidentally interrupted things... that's why I'm here, oh, not to interrupt your massage but to help find Falthrax.  Sooooo, are you part of that group that left to find Falthrax?"

AREA T11

Ysa, as you make your way to the shrine, you're stopped by Saede, from the back of the bathhouse. "Excuse me." he says pleasantly. "Please remain on the bathhouse grounds. Thank you!"

You can't detect any anomalies, but Saede, the handsome young man who you first met at reception, insists you return to the bathhouse. Those two building are off limits.

Not sensing anything supernatural around her, she turned around to face Saede before noticing Garmus heading in her direction.  Deciding to continue to ignore the man, she walked towards Garmus before saying, "I did not sense anything abnormal in the Shrine and was about to take a look inside before I was interrupted.  Did you find anything useful?  And would you like to join me."  

(Keeping Detect Evil and Good up so she should be able to sense any qualified creatures within 30 ft of her should one come into range.)   

"That's so cool, how do you make the letters jiggle and dance like that?"
Magic! It's how I communicate. A cursed blade prevents me from any kind of auditory communication, sent or received. Been that way since I was a child.
"Oh, sorry, Hi Eralynn, it's nice to meet you, I'm Crystal and just this morning I was in Candlekeep and one of the Avowed was all up in arms because his friend Falthrax, who's a dwarf, went missing like a day or two ago... he was going on about Sune this and Sune that and said I should know all this because I have red hair?  Not sure what he meant by that, anyway, I'm like he's probably reading up on Shemshine or spending a few days in Fistandia's Mansion or something.... but he insisted that it had something to do with the Price of Beauty book that he had found.... so, to make a short story longer, he mentioned that a group of you had left to help find him... I'm hoping that's you?"
I'm part of that group, yes, and, personally, I love your hair. she smiles.
"He then told me to make sure I visit Llmar as he knows just the right spots to touch gives really good massages and I'm like 'oh heck ya I could go for a good massage'."
Ha! Me, too! she says with a twinge of comical sarcasm, but she's just trying to be silly despite how much she just wants to get sexed.
So anyway, I got here about 45 minutes ago and talked with Saeth about a massage and he told me to just go on in and that's when I saw you and your hot little body accidentally interrupted things... that's why I'm here, oh, not to interrupt your massage but to help find Falthrax.
Well, you already interrupted my massage, boo. She smiles, joking again. Mostly.
Sooooo, are you part of that group that left to find Falthrax?
I am indeed. Come. I'll introduce you. I think you'd make a fine addition to our little comedy act.

Eralynn bring Crystal to the group, or, at least the people in the lobby.

I made a new friend! This is Crystal.

I am indeed. Come. I'll introduce you. I think you'd make a fine addition to our little comedy act.

"That would be fabulous!" Crystal starts following Eralynn to the lobby.  "You know..." she says thoughtfully "after we find Falthrax, you could get in there and get your piece of ass 'massage'... it looked like you had eyes for that young man... he is quite handsome... I'll help you if you want."

Eralynn bring Crystal to the group, or, at least the people in the lobby.

I made a new friend! This is Crystal.

"Hi, I'm Crystal" she introduces herself to any of the team members in the lobby area.

Saying his thanks towards the employee in the baths - and, assuming they aren't a hag, requests they stay safe, Ecko extracts himself from the water and dries off, changes into a new bathrobe, slathers another spa mask on his beak, and summarily exits towards (where he assumes the rest of the party is) the lobby. 

For Crystal - Ecko is an overly energetic Kenku of moderate height and an eclectic sense of dress. He strolls up towards the lobby - strange, where was Garmus and Ysa? Oh, well - and eventually spots Eralynn. He shakes some more water from his feathers before walking forward and saying- "Hello! I suggest we don't wander off. It's dangerous, right? You know, with everything happening - that reminds me, we need to find Garmus and Ysa. I believe they are-" Ecko begins gesturing towards the shrine and tower where the two exited before he suddenly stops and registers Crysal. "Oh! Crystal! Hi! Hello! I'm Ecko. Short for echo, you know? Kenkus," Ecko rattles in a myriad of voices selected from his time spent in Candlekeep. "Who are you? Why are you here? What do you do?" he continues in a rapid-fire array of random questions he happily asks. He then narrows his birdlike eyes and leans in close, whispering- "Are you a hag?" 

"Oh! Crystal! Hi! Hello! I'm Ecko. Short for echo, you know? Kenkus," Ecko rattles in a myriad of voices selected from his time spent in Candlekeep.

With a bit of a wide-eyed curiosity, crystal watches and listens to Ecko... she giggles a bit at the 'Ecko is short for Echo' bit and then as he rattles into a myriad of voices that she recognizes from Candlekeep.  Laughing a bit "That sounded just like the Avowed who sent me here.... how do you do that?"

"Who are you? Why are you here? What do you do?" he continues in a rapid-fire array of random questions he happily asks. 

"Well, I'm Crystal and the Avowed sent me here to help find Falthrax... he said I would find you guys here."  She then looks a bit sheepishly over to Eralynn "I, uuuuum, apparently interrupt people.... I'm good at that I guess."

He then narrows his birdlike eyes and leans in close, whispering- "Are you a hag?" 

"Me?! a hag?! OH, no, no, no.... wait, do I look like a hag?" she asks as shy tries to straighten her hair a bit while making sure her robe is pulled fully on.
