City of Cresthall

Karra frowns slightly. Something about this seems too simple for this surface-dwelling place. From what he has experience, humans are a lot less honest than svirfneblim. His hands twitch slightly as he reaches for his bag, contemplating what the group will do (or what people will do to them) with so much money upon their person.

There comes a knock upon Ashley and Crispy's door. "Excuse me, but my master would like to ask about your stay." You hear an attendant say from beyond the door.

The yuan-ti nods, "Very well." As the yuan-ti speaks 4 attendants push carts towards you all. The carts hold a bed of platinums with a smaller bed of gold coins upon them. "Each cart holds seven hundred platinums and one hundred and twenty five gold, one for each of you. Will that be fine with you all?" 

Karra squints at the coins. While he would like to believe that this deal is done at this point, he doesn't want to be taken by some illusory fake money at the last minute.

Investigation: 21

“Great!” Crispy barked, looking at the door, breaking from the kiss and turning her head as not to yell in Ashley’s ear. “Tell your master: everything is great! Thanks!” She said, implying the conversation was over despite to the interruption. 

(Have the boys come by with our cart full of gold yet?)

Probably not. We're upstairs and they all are downstairs dealing with the transaction it looks like.

OOC: Gasp isn't touching a cart other than his own lol. It'll be enough to handle. 

Bennett nods and smiles, "Thank you so much! Have a wonderful day." 

Bennett will start to push the carts back to the room where we played Go Fish, I believe that was mine, and will start to pocket his share of the money. If the others follow suit, he will say, "You know, Crispy and Ashley have been rather absent from this... maybe we could play a small prank on them?"

((Can we go ahead and put the money in our inventory or do you want us to wait, Sir DM?))

Hatt is just about managing to push his own cart along beside Bennett.  

(I assume that the vault and the guest house are all part of the same palace complex, and so we don't have to move through unguarded or public areas with our massive carts full of coins. We probably need to find someplace safe to store this.)

A prank sounds fun, Hatt says.  Why don't you tell Crispy that you're stealing her money, and then Ashley and I can try to use magic to grow your fingers back.

(LOLOLOL HATT)

Give that man an inspiration point for making me spit up my drink while reading that.

Agreed. I almost burst out laughing in my office.

Also, who the hell is knocking on the door disturbing us? Ill let you decide what we do from here. =P

Yes, im giving you that creative freedom. Buckle up, baby.

If the person at the door continues, Ashley makes sure she is dressed and answers the door. Yes, is something wrong?

I guess we'll find out tomorrow =P Meanwhile, i'll just lay in the bed with my hands behind my head, smiling.

Bennett chuckles at Hatt, "She doesn't have to know it's me." Bennett uses Mask of Many Faces to cast Disguise Self to look like an exact copy of Hatt, only taller. He smiles at Hatt.

(They're separate. That's why I had someone guide you to the vaults.)

@Karra

It is the same attendant you saw at the gourmet hall, standing behind her is another woman. Her eyes are slitted and you see some scales near them. She wears a more regal tunic and eyes you. "That is wonderful to hear. Now to discuss the matter of your patron. Who I heard is called Ominak? Yes?" The woman asks.

(Go ahead and add the 700 platinums and 125 gold for Bennett, Gasp, Hatt, and Karra.)

Once you pocket the coins, you don't feel their weight upon you. Instead of nearly a thousands pounds of weight, you feel nothing weighing you down.

Karra carefully places the coins into his bag, ensuring that they don't slide about in there. He looks to the attendant who brought it through and nods to them. "Hmm, enchanted with feather weight, yes?" He then parts ways, looking to reunite with the others.

Yes, Ashley responds we escorted him across the sea and our stay here is part of our payment.

As Ashley spoke to the two women by the door, Crispy turned her head and looked back at the ceiling. She sighed, and mumbled something about once again being interrupted while having some quiet time in a romance.

She buttoned the latch on her shorts and pulled her shirt down and got out of bed. She walked along her bed and made sure her sword belt was were she left it, and it was. She walked up and stood behind Ashley in a protective manner, her instincts always warning her of danger.

”Is there a problem?” she asked as pleasantly as she could. “If this is about all the broken furniture and items in our room I can explain.“

Wow, is that what I'd look like if I was a great gangling biggun?  That's pretty impressive.  Hatt picks up a coin from the cart and notices that it hardly weighs anything.  Is this normal?  he asks the others.  To have such light coins, I mean.  Remarkable, given how much they are worth.  To most folk, this would be a fortune to retire on.
