City of Cresthall

Bennett will chuckle at Hatt and revert back to his old self. The tattoo under Bennett's right ear you SWEAR wasn't there while on the ship glows and then slowly fades back to a normal tattoo as he shifts back. "I have a feeling we aren't most folk. These light coins do seem... peculiar... hmm..."

The yuan-ti banker nods, "Ease of travel, have a good day adventurers." The man bids you farewell as the helper also leaves, heading towards a tall tower.

The master nods her head, "Yes, there is a problem. The problem being that your supposed patron's name is literally name. Your...not from here so it's obvious you both don't speak draconic, but Ominak means name. So unless there's some idiot wealthy couple to name their child name or you've been simply tricked by someone, either way you owe us a sum of two hundred and fifty gold...though I find any broken furniture in this room then the price will rise."

Gasp, having received his money (and with the Snake man gone) calms down. This will definitely be the most money he's ever had at any given time. If he could talk, he would be speechless!

I dont understand. We were escorted  here by his brother Sargt. He met us at the ship with a bunch of soldiers and brought us here. Ashley is quite confused. She knows she can fix all the broken stuff with her mending spell, but Ominak seems to have lied to everyone.

“You guys just realize this now? The staff checked everyone in when we arrived. We’ve been here for two days. Take it up with Almanac if you think somethings suspicious.” Crispy says, also confused. “What does this have to do with us? And we can fix the furniture magically. Whats the extra money for? Loudness? Sorry, she’s amazing in bed, what can I say?”

She asked many question on purpose, to buy a little time and a distraction. As she speaks, Crispy slowly and casually shifts positions to slide to Ashleys left so that shes between her and the open door, and put her hand on the door with her left hand.

Giving Ashley a very exaggerated confused look, there was a message on her face, a trick she learned at the Academy, and thankfully, Ashley probably picked up on it.

Careful, this might be a trick. I might slam the door.

Blushing profusely at he Crispy comment about her performance sexually, Ashley picks up on the message and shifts herself out of the doorway enough to give Crispy the control of the situation.

Thankfully, Ashley picked up on the signal. She didn't mean to embarrass her, but it provided enough verbal distraction on the spa employee and the yuan-ti to get Crispy in a more advantageous position casually and without suspicion. She stared at them waiting for their response. A kind of "I'm annoyed and might murder you" kind of stare, but then again Crispy often gave that stare to most people she knew. 

((Are we at the room yet? Can we see/hear this going down?))

(Been pretty long enough. You're back at the spa's lounging area. Oh and Bennett and Gasp roll wisdom save, DC 20)

"From the way my attendants describe it, the brute did lead you here but never did he mention his brother to my attendants. In fact, one of them just decided to charge the commander with your stay...Which reminds me," She looks to the attendant beside her, "Have that one sent to the Quarry, I will not tolerate such behavior among you all." She looks back to you two, "And I would take this matter to the patron, but that's the problem. They don't exist, so now it's your problem to solve. And glare at me like that once more, and I'll have the guards come detain your whole group."

Karra waits around for the others to regroup. If he doesn't find them within the hour he'll make a move to head into town.

I dont understand, how can they not exist? We just spent a very long time crossing the sea with him. Ashley looks confused and now worried. Something is not right here.

Oh, a threat! Ok. Be cool. Be cool. Easy. Eaasssyyyyy. Don't rip out her throat just yet. Patience. Think. Come, on. THINK. TALK.

“Oh, i’m so scared!” Crispy glared. Wait. I said that out loud. Probably shouldn't have said that. “This is one hell of a way to treat guests by the way.” That's better. Dumb ass.

Unarmed and wearing nearly nothing, Crispy had to think quick. Slamming the door in their face now would probably not be a good idea, but something else came up. She faked getting her rising temper under control and feigned an apologetic look.

”Alright. Allow us to at least dress up properly and we will come down and settle this. We're half naked here.”

And with that, starts to close the door.

((Yiiiiiiiiikes.))

As we are all waiting in the 'lounging area', Hatt will approach Karra and talk to him in a low voice, trying not to be overheard by the staff of this place, or by Gasp or Bennett.  Everyone seems very comfortable to wait around here, but I would really like to get away from this place, with everyone together, and talk over some of the weird things that have happened.  I'm not sure how we could carry this amount of coin through the city safely, though - do you have any ideas?

@Bennett & Gasp

The lady wants to talk more but is cut off by the closed door. You hear a huff as she starts to walk away.

The same lady walks into the lounging area, walking past the rest of the group. She hails a few guards to come to her and they nod. The few guards stand near the entrance and one lone guard walks towards the rooms. And as they talked, you see one of the attendants is being ushered away. He looks depressed as there is a collar of iron upon his neck. 

Karra looks to Hatt. "Hmm, I agree. Things here very off, yes?" He says. "Should leave as quickly as can. Have other things that are important, and staying any longer will not help, yes?" Karra points to his pack on his back; he hasn't unpacked even when they first arrived, and doesn't look any different from the first day Hatt saw him with it. "Magic bag, holds much more than it shows, yes?"

Crispy gives Ashley a concerned look after she closed the door. She rolls her eyes at the situation. Why couldn't ANYTHING be easy? 

She begins dressing quickly, putting on her armor and strapping on her sword belt. "Come on, babe." She says while adjusting her leather top. "We gotta find the others and get the **** outta here. I have the feeling we've outstayed our welcome here. Something is definitely not right, and i'm thinking Almanac screwed us over."

She opens the door and takes a quick peek outside, seeing if anyone is down the hall. Closing the door again, she looks around the room for exits. "Fix the furniture and let's go. I think I've bought us some time but we gotta act quick."

Ashley, being as proper as she is, easily found all her stuff and quickly got dressed and donned her combat attire. She will mend as much broken stuff as she has time for before they make a hasty exit. Looks like Hatt was right. You owe me a week in a skimpy bikini my dearest Cora.
