Ludolf as you are slipping out of your clothing for your moment's relaxation a piece of paper falls out of the pocket of your shirt. It appears to have been slipped into a breast pocket of your shirt. Eerily close your heart :)

It is written in a hasty script and reads:

Come to my room this afternoon. Second guest room on the right. Bring your friends. Trust no one.

Ilam

Ludolf reads the note quickly and then tears it up to make sure no one else reads it, trying to dispose of it on his way to the bath. So, the elven barber wanted to speak with them all. Ludolf assumes this doesn't have to to with his plans for entertainment.

Triäsa leans in, "I think Is can the problem with the lock. Here, let me try to help you."  She makes an attempt to fix the lock if she can. (DEX Check: 3) If she cannot make it work, then she will try to explain to the kobold where the problem is.  

Daventry looks to the woman, blinking. "Thanks, but we've got a pool date with some of our friends. Perhaps tomorrow, we will come by?"

She grabs Pardot's hand. "Come on, honey."

Assuming she can, she will walk with Pardot away then beeline for the rooms where the others might be...

Pardot nods saying, "Let's go find the morning yoga. I could use that stretch still," and follows along.

You delicately place the small screwdriver into the lock. You turn and wiggle it slowly trying to free the stuck mechanism. A few moments of labor and you hear satisfying pop as the locked door swings open. The kobold jumps up and down excitedly, "Hurray! Hurray! Whiskers get dinner tonight!" He then does a happy little kobold dance as he wheels to face you. "You help me with 'nother problem? I want to be a drow again! Not kobold! You help me be me?!"

"You don't have to wait till tomorrow my dear ones. I believe we have an appointment in just a few hours. I hear you have  very special request for us. We are eager to help you and your friend... If you won't join me inside I will see you later. Now excuse me, I heard quite a noise coming from the tower. I will see you soon." She smiles, pats her dog on the head as she heads into the tower. Unlocking the door she enters without looking back. The door closes and you hear it latch behind her.

You walk away from the tower back to the main temple. To get to the garden you would enter back into the lounge, past the main lobby to the west and into the garden. Is this your next destination?

Triäsa asks, "Can you spare a few minutes? If we can talk privately in my room?" She motions over towards her own room and starts to head in that direction. 

Daventry stops Pardot once they are out of eyesight of the tower and the woman.

"I felt something, like a wave of willpower crashing over a barrier. I... wanted to do whatever that woman wanted me to do, for just a moment. But it passed, thank the stars." Daventry looks in the direction of the tower. "We cannot take Fistandia there, for I feel we will not get Fistandia in return. Woe alone, in that tower o'er there. We need to find the others."

Walking back with Daventry Pardot says, "I couldn't see much of what was happening inside, but the top floor is protected from outsiders entering it seems." Then adds, "I do not know what is going on here, but it does seem safe to say that this isn't simply the healing spa they are portraying it as."

Meanwhile Ludolf tries to relax in the bath, possibly with company, but oblivious to the adventures of his teammates. Unless occupied conversing others in the pool he would try to reach out with his awakened mind to seek contact with the fey spirit Pardot mentioned last night.

The kobold looks eagerly at Triäsa, "OK OK OK, I follow. Gotta get back to work soon though! Promise promise you make me drow!" The little guy will follow you where ever you lead him for now.

Ludolf your time in the pool is peaceful but despite your efforts you do not get a response from the entity in the pool. If it even exists.

Daventry and Pardot you head back inside the temple crossing through the lounge and back into the main lobby. You would see Seth there manning the registration table. He smiles widely and give you a polite nod of the head. He then goes back to his paperwork.

Assuming you continue on into the garden for the morning exercises you are greeted by a rather peculiar sight. The garden itself is rather boring, an iron fence overgrown with ivy surrounds it. An earthen path weaves between a scattering of trees, flower bushes, and stone benches. Various iron weights, wooden poles, and heavy sacks are strewn about the place. Five guests of various races, sizes and shapes have their hands on their knees and are breathing very heavily. There is a bit of blood coming from one the participants noses. In front of the crowd and leading the group exercise session is another elf "Come now! No pain, no gain! We will sweat those toxins free from the body and the mind. You can do it! Don't give up! Let's go jog in place!" 

The women is a beautiful sun elf. She has very well defined muscles that ripple under her red and yellow, very tight leathers. Her hair is long auburn that complements her tanned skin. While her clothing look like leather the closer you get you can tell it is different... it appears to be some sort of close fitting material that clings to her body accenting her curves and muscles. It leaves little to the imagination. Despite the vigor she exercises with not a drop of sweat defiles her brow.

When you enter the garden she greets you quickly, "Ah you are late! No worries we shall catch you up. Hop in line we will start with squats! A challenge to test your fitness! Are you game!" She yells in an energetic voice as she begins to repeatedly squat over and over again rapidly bouncing up and down.

If you choose to join her exercises start with 9 Constitution checks (You may not need all of those but in the interest of time and keeping this going we will just roll a bunch)

Triäsa leads the kobold to her room and shuts the door.  "Do you know what magic has transformed you? I can try to dispel it, but it may not work, depending on how powerful it is."

She pauses, "If you can spare 10 minutes I can do a ritual to try to determine what it is." 

(If he allows, she will get her lute and cast Identify on him as a ritual. She plans to use Dispel Magic after to see if it works.)

Triäsa you take some time with the kobold as he explains, "The bosses! The sister made me like this! Used to be a merchant with lots of shineys in Waterdeep! Now just a kobold." 

As you complete your ritual you find that kobold is suffering from some sort magical effect. It is not a school of magic that you can identify and whatever the magic is you are very sure you are not powerful enough to remove it with your magics. Your best guess is it is some sort of a curse.

Not having any other plans until their appointment with the sisters Ludolf would stay in the pool until then, but curious and still quite suspicious of the sisters he sends Edgar for a tour of the place, using his sight to take a look at what is going on at the Restful Lily, in the public areas for starters.

Edgar perception: 17

Edgar flies around the Temple trying to get a better view of the Lily. He comes in low and fast toward the pool at a high rate of speed. Unfortunately someone had just cleaned the windows. They did such a good job Edgar mistakes the crystal clear glass for empty air and smashes directly into the window. He falls to the ground concussed and dazed. It will be sometime before he gathers his wits and is able to take to the air again. (He is out of commission until after your appointment with the Sister's this afternoon. Sorry Edgar...)

Triäsa sighs as it appears the magic is not something she can just dispel. "It would appear that this is some kind of curse, a magic I cannot easily remove. I am sorry.  But I will work on finding a way to restore you.  I am to meet with the Sisters a bit later, is there anything I should know about them when we do?  Other than it seems we should be cautious of course." 

"ah... We may be in the wrong place." Pardot says, looking at the group working out far harder than he had anticipated. "I had thought it was going to be a peaceful morning yoga/meditation session. Did we miss that?"

Ludolf splashes around in the pool for a moment as his vision through Edgars eyes suddenly goes black. He quickly calms down and let's the raven return to his pocket plane for now to recuperate. He would have to talk to Edgar about the dangers of windows but that would have to wait. Instead he returned to simply relax in the pleasant pool water.

"Yoga and meditation! What good is that! If you want to find peace and harmony go meditate by the pool! This is for serious conditioning and sweating out the toxins that poison your body! No pain no gain, that's what I always say! If you can keep up with me I'll give you a reward. No one in this sorry lot was able to come close!" She continues doing squats and then starts a series of frantic jumping jacks and push-ups. "Hop in or get out! Let's go people!"

The kobld just looks at you with a deep sense of disappointment, "Can't help... stuck like a kobold forever... I have to go clean the outhouse now... sister's strong, have magics... Just leave... be safe..." He then shuffles out the door to continue with his chores.

Pardot looks up to Daventry next to him and says, “This isn’t really my style of workout, though you’re in much better shape than me. Think you can keep up with her?” Adding with a whisper, “I can give you a boost if you want.”
