Killian thinks about what Rumble says about the tiefling and the shaved horns never have seen one with shaved horns before. 

History : 20

(Sorry I'm way behind in things -- but Thursday has 9 shells, he paid one to the guide. And she would have been reluctantly forward with how much she had realizing that she's got to put trust in these people and whats good for one is good for all.)

(As mentioned, I think the group is on 28 shells overall between them.)

"If you pardon, my friends." The guide interjects, approaching the conspiracy of adventurers, "The Lady Lianna will be most likely finishing her prayers now, should you wish to appraoch."

Rumble gives the guide a sheepish grin. "Almost jumped the sheep there for a second." He starts to walk again, but stops short. "Uh... Quick question. When we go up there, are there like any thing we should be, uh.... not do? Also, what do you know about Lady Lianna? As understand, she is a healer of a sort. But.... well, if you know anymore." He stopped to question. 

Mara paused as she listen to it hat each of them says, taking several seconds to go through what each of them said. She sorted the thoughts out to what she agreed with and what did not sit very well with her . "If we plan to see the healer then it seems now is the best time for us to go. I may perhaps be able to help her even if my abilities as a healer are limited to the spells I can cast"

The guide looks to Rumble, "Well, my steel skinned friend, I suggest not staring too much; it is disrespectful. Lady Lianna takes her service very seriously, so please do not work against what she advises. A priestess of The Light is an honour for our home. Gain her ire, and you gain the ire of the citizens, too."

“Shouldn’t be a problem, we’re quite a charming lot”

Mara nods as she looks to everyone. "Simply put best behaviour and do not say something foolish if it is at all possible..."

Rumble grins weakly. "That might be easier said than done, see'n as how we still know so much 'bout how things work in general in these here parts. But we'll do our best!" With a final bow to the guide, Rumble resumes leading the way up to the prayer platform to Lianna. At some point along the way he'll lavish the others about the rough value of the shells.

(@Pokepaladdy In case it was missed, Killian did a history roll[16] to know about why a tiefling would shave their horns)

(To confirm, Killian doesn't know any main customs that involve shaving the horns down to the base. It may be a stylistic choice or perhaps a customary thing for this city.)

Rumble leads the group walking up the staircase that spirals up the outside of the tall tower. Upon reaching the top, the party comes across a lone figure. She is a beautiful elven woman with bronze skin and long platinum-blond hair that flows in the wind. She appears to be gesturing with her hands open, as if accepting the sun's rays over her completely nude body. A white garb appears to be discarded to one side, accompanied by a small wooden box and a pendant made of silver in the same shape of the sunburst.

She turns to face the party as they approach, her eyes have bright yellow irises, almost like suns illuminating her face. "My welcome, travellers." She says in a low pitched tone. "I was expecting you." She lowers her hands and walks over towards her effects, picking up the robe. "If you must know, The Light guides my hand. It informed me that there would be outsiders requesting aid today."

Mara watches her curiously, doing the polite thing and looking away as recovers her clothing. From what she could guess at what the guidee had said she must be some kind of cleric and did have what she thought was a holy symbol. So seeing as the elf said she had been expecting them it was not entirely out of the realm of reality. "It is an honor to meet you. We were told that you could help our friends."

Killian doesn't break his gaze towards her, as she retrieves her clothing. gives Leo a little nudge with his elbow as if to say "are you seeing this?".  Not speaking allows the others to engage in this scenario. awestruck by her beauty he finds himself tongue tied at the moment. 

Rumble hand turned around IMMEDIATELY with his slapped his hands over his eyes. Worst yet, he was too embarrassed to say anything until after Mara spoke up. And even then, though he uncovered his eyes, the earth genasi still has his eyes squeeze shut. "W-wh-what she said! U-uh-uh, I'm Rumble. Rumble Steelskin. S-ss-so-sorry. The guide -- th-they said -- sorry. I mean, they didn't-... ugh... Mmmph!" He starts rubbing his head fiercely, and then turns about to face her. HIs eyes stayed shut though. 

"L-let me start over. I'm Rumble. Me and Mr. Leogym here haven't been feel'n too hot ever since we fought these worms just a few shy from yer fair city. And, well, we've been hope'n you might have the trick to put us back right again, or at least direct us to somethin or someone can." 

Killian looks over as Rumble speaks, giving a little chuckle as his eyes are shut tight. After he finishes speaking "It's okay bud, sad to say she's put some clothes on." Killian sorta holds the quarterstaff in one hand using it as a leaning post, trying to seem as uninterested as possible, but the flushness of his cheeks tells a different story. Waiting to start his own conversation with the woman but waits until the more pressing matters of Rumble and Leo's mysterious sickness is figured out. 

Darnell just shakes his head at Rumble and Killian. He scans the exits periodically, readying himself to scramble for one if need be.

Leojym looks up from a current bout of stomach pain as Killian nudges him but he seems nonplussed by the nudity. After Rumble's shuddering Leojym adds, "Yes, several of us were bitten by some sand worms. I was able to heal our friend here." The elf looks around for a moment, "Did anyone save the 'egg' Darnell expelled?"

It looked for a second as if Rumble might just open his eyes. But after the whole chuckling business, he thought better of that idea, and instead just crossed his arms. "I-I think I'll hear that from the pretty elf lady, if'n that's alright." He says a little grumpily. "Fraid not, Mr. Leo. Think kind of fell apart just as soon as I think Ms. Thursday poked at it with a stick."

"Yeah, it just sort of crumbled." Thursday says, trying not to draw too much attention to herself with someone so beautiful in the room.

Lady Lianna pulls the white garb over her head. It appears to be a sleeveless short dress, just enough to cover indecent areas. "Please, step forward." She gestures to the group to stand atop the platform properly rather than the stairway. She picks up the wooden box and walks over to the party. "The desert worms are not a thing to take likely. It only takes a single bite for them to impregnate you." She comments, looking over each of the group. The sunburst symbol displays openly by her bosom as she looks over the group. "Fortunately divine guidance told me I would need to help remove such afflictions after my dedications today. If you will, please show me the wound they left."

Leojym steps forward, revealing his bite.
