Kriz smiles at Zeek when he says that he cannot sleep in a soft bed. “This is not luxury my dear. You should go to the Moon’s Bean at Sygorn. But I understand what you mean. You can sleep in the floor of your room if you need to, “ she suggest.
When she sees Gareth she inmediatly grasp him by his arm and guide him back to the Hearty Haversack
“Would I let you starve? You could dinner while I play but if I don’t see you stoping eating and applauding me you will in real trouble you big guy!” She jokes
They enter the inn again and goes to a table, inviting Blitz to join them whith a gesture and letting them pick the dinner while she prepares herself to play. She walks to the fire, taps the dog in the head and open her violin case. Takes it out, a fine violin of elf craft and softly tunes it until she seems satisfied. Then she warm up her fingers playing slowly some scales. She attach some chimes to her right ankle.
When she’s ready she turns and nods to Hykie for him to raise the volume of the room and she starts playing.
Performance: 28
She will use her bard feature not to charm anyone specific but to empower her performance. She gives special attention to Garteth though
When she finish the first one she inmediatly starts another song, this time it seems that there are more musics in the room with her, the fearie music that plays with her seems to came out of nowhere. She dances and sings and plays as the evening progress and the music takes over her Blitz could see her face of pure joy and happiness.
Zeek is completely raptured by Kriz performance, his jaw dropped. By the second song, he finds himself clapping along to the beat. Somehow, this music is touching him very deeply. It reminds him of all the hard hours in the monastery, but also the time spent on the road, the jovial times and the sad ones. He's filled with nostalgia, joy, and amazement. By the time Kriz finishes her final song, tears of joy are streaming down Zeek's face, and he is completely speechless.
"That was... I have never... Thank you"

Blitz just smiles and taps his foot along to Kriz playing. Having heard it one before it’s even better than he remembered it. One she is done playing Blitz gives her a polite clap. Not daring to make a fool out of himself by crying in public. With a full belly and a nice tankard if ale in him Blitz is going to his room to look over his spellbook. He leaves everyone with a simple “Goodnight, I’ll see you all in the morning, let’s see if I can find anything helpful in my books.”
“I am happy that you like it “ she says with a shy smile to her friends sitting at their table. “I could use some wine and supper now my dear Hykie please.”
“Good night Lord Thunderbrand “ she says when Blitz excuses himself once she is alone with Gareth she smiles to him and says “We should go find someplace more private don’t you think?” Her glance says all.
(If it is ok to proceed to the next morning)
First thing in the morning she is again at the common room, tasting a breakfast, with her hair still wet from the bath she took before going downstairs and chatting with Hykie
“... sure you should give some flyers to announce tomorrow evening’s performance. A pity that we can’t use some minor illusions to promote it but the paper will do just fine... oh good morning friends! “ she says when she sees to others “ Had a good night? “
(Thanks! Glad you like it, since we started I am looking for violin songs... I got more but I must download and edit the video or maybe I just give you the timewhere the precise part begins :) )
Hykie isn't working that morning but since he lives at the inn so he is among the patrons. He obliges with a big breakfast and joins you at your table to chat.
"This town says it controls us conjurers but it's all a bunch of bluster. I mean yes I still wouldn't preform on the streets but inside these walls with my regulars I have never had a problem," Hykie replies to Kriz, "but my mother was one hell of a conjurer so maybe it's just the old enchantments that still ward off the bastions," he adds chuckling into his morning ale. "Oh. hey what's this about your friend last night? You've never brought work home with you," he then says with a cocked eyebrow. "I didn't think you like working types, anyhow" he says wryly, "I mean the kind that get their hands dirty for a living," he adds quickly.
Kriz you know Gareth left last night after your private chat back to the garrison at the Wintermarsh's winery for his early morning shift watching Tobais as his rooms in the Duskmeadow where Gareth told you he would meet Bryn at dawn. They would be working with Tobias until midday where a new shift would take over and they once again would be free to socialize. (if you spoke about something privately please PM so get his replies.)
Kriz: You made 5 gold, 9 silver, and 13 copper last night for your performance add these to your currency.
OOC: Zeek did you ever go out into the city after dark if so what did you want to achieve? Blitz looking for anything in particular, I meant to tell you that there's plenty of books in Hykie's library that with a investigation role or persuasion asking him you could easily have access too. I need those answered before moving on. I am assuming you will all leave together from the inn to go to the Duskmeadow.
After looking around his own spellbook he realizes that he has no illusion or enchanment spells to help. But would have ritually casted Detect Magic to know more about the magic of the place around him. If known about the library Blitz would have also spent some time in their looking for any books about illusionary or enchantment magic to maybe copy for later use one day. Following that would have just looked for books that would have general knowledge about the Lords in town and looked for anything about the Wintermarshes.
Blitz did not roll high enough to find the library on his own. Did he speak to Hykie? In casting detect magic you find there's sigils on the wooden entrance that are barely visible to the naked eye. It binds the spell which is a bastardization of [Tooltip Not Found] but not being an illusionist you can't quite figure out how it's achieved, gnomes right?! Anyway it allows the bar proper that looks exactly the same in layout plus a scattering of patrons and the dog by the fire. Behind the illusion however the patrons and their business are shielded from view of the entrance and bar. Clever and very well magicked is all you can think!

Not finding much he would have asked Hykie, in gnomish in order to not get rusty in it, “How is it done? This is just a bastardization of the spell? Where did you learn to change magic like that? You must tell me who taught you. Do you have a library that holds your books in order to do that?”
Blitz is excited to see bastardized of spells because if he bastardized spells for his own elemental purposes then that puts him one step closer to his hero who did it to Teleport Vox Machina away.
"The spells my mother's and I'm not nearly as powerful as she was," Hykie explains with a sigh. "I don't even have her spellbook," he adds looking somber. "I only found I can control it but I'm the only one. Its my blood you see," he explains. "No other conjured can," he adds looking around leaning in, "and they've tried," he says in a whisper.
(OOC: Sorry for the late reply, personal life got in the way. To answer your question Amazon, I sent you a PM with what Zeek wanted to achieve. I assume he got at most a short rest, right?)
Zeek looks tired, yet he greets his two companions with a wide smile. "I've made some preparations yesterday, now let's see how charming I can be. Kriz, is your disguise ready?"

Zeek you made a deal with Anders, an elderly man of vaguely elfish decent but he was shrouded in a hood during your entire exchange, and a young human boy named Olivier that was begging with an even younger girl whom he claimed was his sister Lyric who looks like an albino tiefling.

Kriz and Zeek, Blitz is there with you but has been relatively silent still very much fascinated by the gnomish illusion magic around you. It's still early in the morning but are you guys having this conversation in the inn's dining area or...
With Blitz staying behind at the inn to study his books and plan some strongarm tactics for the evening, Kriz and Zeek know the evening ahead need clothes for the occasion. Are you staying in the Abundant Terrace to shop or elsewhere?

“I’ve heard of a couple of places neraby that could suit us Zeek” says Kriz excited with the idea of showing the city to the monk. “I know that this could be different for you but for some people it is more important how you look than how you are. In fact they decide who you are for how you look. Not saying that I agree with that kind of thinking but knowing it you can do it work in your favor. And that is exactly what we are going to do tonight.”
She lets her words into the air as they walk down the street heading for the first shop
Zeek follows a very excited Kriz. He didn't mind fine cloths and nice things, but living a rather modest life usually didn't have the coin to spend on such things. He was somehow less worried about prices in the presence of Kriz however.
