"Gee, I dunno, FELI." she playfully scowls at you, holding you back for a moment. "SOMEONE was trying to TRICK me into BATHING, and that's all I remember." She leans in and squints at you so hard, you can't see her gorgeous green eyes anymore. "Could that have been you? HMMM?" she demands, pretending to be a toughie.

 "Oh right, the bathing thing... It was me, yep, totally me. Remember, I was trying to save you from the dirt ghost!"

She pondered again the hug, she surely didn't want to end with the silouette of Kasha printed on her body. Instead, she tousled her with a soft laugh before claping her hands together to clean them.

"Don't you ever think that I've forgot about it"

“Me neither.........” she growls, giving you some serious stinkeye. 

"Don't you growl at me, Kasha, I do it way better"

She said before growling back just as her husband taught to. A dragon roar, or that's what he said. It was really bad for the throat, but done once a month woulnd't cause any injuries. It was an okay roar, but her lack of practice and warm up impeded her doing an amazing display of her roaring skills.

"Enough talk."  Bruvir interrupted as he moved towards the front of the group.  "It seems our trail end here.  Do we want to try the front door or have one of you sneakier folk scout first."  

Performance: 12

Kasha snickered, and pretended to be scared. She was about to say something else but the big angry person started talking again.

Gralhund Villa sits in the middle of an upper-class residential neighborhood in the North Ward. Here are some general facts to keep in mind: The streets around the villa have pedestrians and coaches traveling along them at all hours, though traffic is heavier during the day. The estate is enclosed by 12-foot-high stone walls that require a successful DC 15 Strength (Athletics) check to negotiate without the aid of climbing gear or magic.

However, since it's the middle of the day, you're all in broad daylight.

"Enough talk."  Bruvir interrupted as he moved towards the front of the group.  "It seems our trail end here.  Do we want to try the front door or have one of you sneakier folk scout first."  

 "Hmmm, perhaps both. I'm happy to walk up and request entry... a little deception even to get us in the front door, but if that doesn't work, we can come back tonight and let some of our sneakier group come back in. It doesn't hurt to ask first though." Avys will whisper to Bruvir before turning to the rest of the group, "Would anyone like to join me in my introductions?" 

"OO! OO!" Kasha raised her hand.

Take a look at the map in Discord. AREA G1 is where you all are. Through a set of ornate iron gates, you can see a yard with several large trees, as well as two footpaths that lead to a two-story brick mansion and eastward toward a detached coach house. It is locked.

"Might as well all go." Bruvir commented.  "Still need to meet all of these blasted neighbors anyway."   

"Wait." Kasha says, "We're leaving?"

Avys will walk up to one of the guards and introduce himself, "Why hello there. My name is Avys, I am a tinker and craftsman by trade. My companions and I just recently acquired the old estate on Trollskull Alley, we're getting more and more accustomed to the area and were introducing ourselves to locals here and there. Might we be of service in some way? Perhaps the lord of the house would like to see what we have to offer?" (Persuasion: 5) 

"Oh!" Kasha says, turning back to the villa. "We're not! Ok!"

"Why hello there. My name is Avys, I am a tinker and craftsman by trade. My companions and I just recently acquired the old estate on Trollskull Alley, we're getting more and more accustomed to the area and were introducing ourselves to locals here and there. Might we be of service in some way? Perhaps the lord of the house would like to see what we have to offer?"

"A tempting offer, but Lady Gralhund isn't expecting visitors today. Please be on your way." the guard says, sternly.

Avys  taps his foot on the ground, arms crossed as he thinks for a moment, "Erhm, well, I never said we were expected visitors, simply introducing ourselves and offering services. I'm much more than a tinker or crafter, arcane scholar perhaps? We are also battle hardened adventurers as well. If you would please pass along our offer to your superiors that would be greatly appreciated." he pauses, rubbing his hand on his chin slightly before he scribbles down the address and services offered on a piece of paper, handing it to the guard. It reads

quickly adding, "You also seem like a rather vigilant individual, did you notice any changes to this part of town recently? We had an explosion by our manor and I was curious if you knew of anything that might be brewing per say." 

"Erhm, well, I never said we were expected visitors, simply introducing ourselves and offering services. I'm much more than a tinker or crafter, arcane scholar perhaps? We are also battle hardened adventurers as well. If you would please pass along our offer to your superiors that would be greatly appreciated."

"Are you not visiting us right now? Or did you mean me? Oh. Ok. Then I'M not expecting visitors today." he takes the card and pockets it.

"You also seem like a rather vigilant individual, did you notice any changes to this part of town recently? We had an explosion by our manor and I was curious if you knew of anything that might be brewing per say."  

"No."

Kasha looks back and forth as both of you talk. When the guard says "No." she turns to the camera with a silly grin, like this is all going well, or according to plan.

 "We are  visitors, but we were not expected... nonetheless thank you for your time. Please stay in touch." he bows slightly and walks towards the group ready to come back another time if that suits them."

"Well that went well."  Bruvir squeaked at the group once they had separated a bit from the villa.  "I say we find Volo, have him tell us what he know of this Lady Gralhund and either have him give us access to the Villa or break in ourselves later tonight.  Whatever we do we should be quick about it before whatever person or clues that are in there are long gone."   

Uh-oh. A wild crosspost appeared. Roll init.

Post edited appropriately.

Lady Gralhund? Interesting. Sylivar does his best attempt not to wobble out of inebriation and act attentive when Avys is speaking. Oh, he would probably be back here tonight. Sylivar attempts to scour the area with his eyes for any gardener's sheds, alternate entryways, ajar windows...anything that could help someone of the less altruistic variety to infiltrate the manor.

"Should we return later? Ah, well. Does Lady Gralhund accept visitors? Do we need to schedule, or how do you rich people do these things? We have a house on this block now, I guess it's time for us to learn how to behave in line."  Syl glances around and realizes he's alone. He sheepishly grins and does a slight, drunken bow. "Sorry for my rambling. I'll be on my way." 


Syl returns to the group and agrees with the mention of sneaking in.

Naumick nods at Bruvir's suggestion. "I'm all for the more covert of options. Best way to see what's really happening is when folks don't know you're there."
