Sasha starts to gracefully dance around to the tune Will is humming, slowly waving her oak wand in the air, smiling widely, still looking at the feast image on the side of the fountain.
after Rikaria snaps at Gerty, a long burst of sound can be heard from the direction of the double doors. It sounds like a hunting horn of some type. It is followed up by more howling
Sasha:
You notice Gaeb is taping his foot, and looking at the punch bowl that he is stirring with a wand/ stick.
Gerty's eyes go wide at the sound, and she grabs Rika's arm, "Plans change! William, for goodness sakes, grab Sasha I don't know what has gotten into her! Luke, bring the little guy, help William if he needs it!" Gerty commands to the rest of the group, then opens the door and drags Rikaria through with her.
Luke watches the two bicker, Will whistle, and Sasha staring and bowing to a wall. Luke wonders if his days are numbered. He grabs Gorf and thinks about fleeing to the surface but at the last second decides to follow Gerty towards the kitchen doors with Gorf in front of him.
(Which door, Gerty? The door to the room Sasha's in or the double door?)
The door to the right, opposite the one Sasha is at
(Towards the kitchen smell? I think that's a hallway and some stairs, not a door. Is that right, Dwar?)
Sorry! Down that hallway and down the stairs then. Yes, towards the kitchen smell. She figures boy is still the priority
( yes, no doors except in the straight ahead hallway)
(Okay! Just wanted to be sure we were all on the same page :) Luke, are you )
At the sound of the horn, all the fight leaves Rikaria. She allows herself to be pulled down the hall by Gerty without question. But as they near the stairs, she realizes that Luke did not grab Sasha and Will. She shouts "Wait! We can't leave them behind!! They're enchanted!"
Rikaria wrenches herself free of Gerty's grasp and runs back towards Sasha and Will in their bizarre dance. She wonders with a pit in her stomach if the same magic that had her caught a minute ago is now tripping up those two. Even though the horn and the howling are right outside those double doors, she can't abandon them to the machinations of that horrible man in the purple coat!
She bursts into the room Sasha and Will are trapped in and ATTEMPTS to grab them both by the collars. "The ball is over you two! Time to go!!"
Sasha:
Gaeb now stops his stirring, puts both hands on his hips, staring at you, still tapping his foot. His big smile, starting to fade
There is a loud crashing sound from behind the double doors in the forward hallway, you can see the doors flex and shake from the impact.
Gerty, belatedly realizing that Rikaria is right and that Sasha and William are bewitched somehow, follows Rikaria and helps her however she can, including dragging them with her away from the fountain till they are back under their own devices again. Trying to get everyone down the other staircase before those double doors burst open.
Luke now watches Gerty and Rikaria run in the opposite direction Gerty yelled to go to with the goblin. Luke looks at Gorf and shrugs and moves down to the hallway where there’s no sound or companions dancing. He hides with Gorf
Rikaria and Gerty(And I have to assume Shariel?) try their damnedest to tear Sasha and Will out of the room and down the stairs before those doors can burst open.
Oghma help me! William sighs We're not enchanted, keep it together Rika!
William turns his attention to sound of the double doors.
What's that?
Player: Any Good Alignment // DM: Lawful Evil
As the long burst of sound is heard from the direction of the double doors (post # 323), Sasha quickly moves up to the fountain and moves around her oak wand in it.
As Sasha swirls her wand in the fountain, the wand begins to glow slightly. The water goes from clear to the color of wine and begins to spin into a small whirlpool. In the center of the whirlpool an image of Gaeb appears. Smiling and jovial he greets Sasha. He then transforms into an arch fey, more elf-like with long blue hair with antlers branching outward. He introduces himself as Gaeb Orialle.
Sasha:
He offers you power in exchange for completing tasks he might need done at later dates. He asks if you wish to be his “agent” on the material plane. He tells you to drink from the wine of the fountain if you accept his boon and agree to do his bidding when asked.
The others do not see the fey, just the glowing wand and the whirlpool.
Gorf pleads with Luke to release his bindings so he isn’t eaten like a sausage.
Luke shushes Gorf to stay quiet and be stealthy
Stealth: 15
