City of Cresthall

Ashley is oblivious to Crispys sleight of hand.Its never too late to look as beautiful as you are. Let's see,  Ashley rummages through a mountain of dresses and finds something. A sleek fire red dress. It has no back, and a neckline that plunges so deep that the belly button has room to enjoy the show. Let's try this one. Dont worry about your scars. I'll show you a makeup tequniue to hid them if you want. But I think your beautiful just the way you are.

Crispy's eyes widen to the size of dinner plates. "Oh my sweet Hells." She says, amazed and intrigued. "It's beautiful!" She grabs it and find a dressing room. After a few moments of undressing - it didn't take long, she's wearing a bikini - she peeks out and says, "Ok, here we go! Don't laugh, ok? I'll punch you if you do." she threatens. She comes out and stands in front of Ashley, and does a slow twirl. "What do you think? It's so warm and tight, it's like i'm being hugged by a small child with polio!" She waits very nervously for Ashley's criticism.

It was indeed a most amazing dress. It hugged her very tightly, yet she was still able to walk around comfortably. Not used to the sensation, she was amazed at how much it revealed, and she liked it. Very much.

Ashley covers her mouth. not just to hide the giggle she choked down at Crispy's comment, but to avoid any drool she might produce at the sight before her. 

Perfection.

"Really? You like it!" Cora blushed. "Ok, i'll wear it for you tonight. Your turn!" Cora quickly redressed into her bikini and went over to the racks.

"Nh. No. Yeeuh, no! Mm..nah. Nope. Ah! This one!" Flipping through the dresses, she found an electric blue silk dress that she thought would be perfect on Ash. It was long, elegant, tight fitting, and came up to just below her shoulders, strapless. It had a faint elven pattern on it, very subtle, that accented it's beauty. As Cora held it, she could see Ashley wearing it. It perfectly described and augmented who she was. Beautiful, proper, dignified, and sexy.

She handed it to her, with a very saucy look on her face. "This one."

The young dark elf thought for a moment, "So...human would like something like leather. Studded or would you prefer a hide armor?." She looks to Hatt, "Halfling would like more armor or enchanted?"

The receptionist quickly heads off and comes back in a moment, "Any questions, sir?" (Since you're trying to stall for time, there's no advantage. Persuasion check.)

Halfling wants to see what you have, says Hatt politely.  Halfling is unsure what the best option is, and would appreciate seeing the full range of options.

Karra will request for details in which to speak to the client in order to show the best features of the artefact in question. He will also double check directions etc.

Crispy waited patiently as Ashley changed into the dress. She knew this was gonna be good.

The girl nods, "Mentor makes many armor. Breastplate and half-plate is very sturdy but anything more is very heavy. Mentor also have a few magic armor. Mentor has..." The dwarf stops his forging and looks up, "Girl won't be able to say it. I've got a chain shirt made from adamantine, a scale mail made from mithril and a very special shield. It wards off magical affects and attacks. The last one is very pricy though."

The receptionist obliges, "We've fulfilled the client's request for a silver band with inlaid engravings as he asked for. And cut the right size of the topaz he asked for both of them. Along with lining the sides with gold." The receptionist describes the route towards Opsola's home. He resides in the tower in the royal district, a large and looming tower filled with my wizards and apprentices. It is very easy to spot as it towers over the other buildings in the district.

(Can Karra think of any reason beyond vanity that would require such a particular piece of jewellery? Perhaps some sort of mystical enchantment or focus. He is a gem cutter by trade so should have a knowledgeable background in such an area.)

"Ash?" Crispy says, inquisitively, smiling. "How long does it take to put on a dress, babe?"

Mithril, you say?  asks Hatt, curious about the metal he has read about but never laid hands upon.  That sounds interesting.  Only scale mail?  Or perhaps some breastplate in mithril as well?  And would you mind letting me see the shield as well; that might be very handy.

He glances up at Bennett.  I guess it boils down to this; do I want more protection, or do I want to be quieter when I move.  At the moment, I'm a bit... err... clanky.  You may have noticed.  He moves his arm up and down, and his scale mail clinks and grates audibly.

Ashley emerges from the changing room in the dress Crispy picked out. For never wearing one before, you have excellent taste. She gives Crispy a twirl.

Crispy stared at Ashley for a long while, overwhelmed. She didn't think it was possible for her to look more beautiful, but there she was. While still staring at her, Crispy absentmindedly reached into her pack, pulled out some coins, and handed the attendant the platinum where she thought she would be. The coins clattered to the floor. The attendant picked them up. 

"You..uh." Crispy gulped audibly, "You look amazing. The heat of Hell doesn't even compare to how hot you are right now."

In a complete daze, she turned to the attendant again, and handed her more money. "Would you please make sure no one - NO ONE - bothers us for about 15 minutes? Thanks."

Crispy took Ashley by the hand and dragged her into the changing room again, locking the door.

Though feeling awkward at being in public as she locked herself in the changing room with Crispy, the passion of the moment was overwhelming, and Ashley enjoyed every moment of it.

Eventually, the changing room door busted open and Crispy emerged, adjusting her swimsuit and the slightest sheen of sweat on her face. She had a very naughty look on her face, as if she did something very unmentionable, and took the dresses to the attendant while Ashley redressed. 

"Thanks." She smiled to the attendant, "These dresses will do. Please have them cleaned and taken back to our room. We're staying at the (bleh) in room (bleh)."

She waited for Ashley to redress, and gave her a sexy look. This day was amazing so far. "Where to, sexy. Armorer?"

*slightly heavy breathing* Sure thing.  And then maybe some lunch. After that I can help you with you makeup.

((Sorry Thanksgiving had my attention!))

Bennett nods at the woman, "I would like something that gives me a bit more protection, that scale mail sounds tempting, do you have any other regular breastplates? Do you also sell any swords here?"

The dwarf shakes his head, "Ain't got the material for another mithril armor piece. Even if I did, it'd take me a month or two to forge that breastplate. And I got swords and the armor here, just no magic weapons. My cousin Rhonda sells those. She set up shop in the bazaar." As he was talking, the dark elf went over and lugged the shield over. It bears a motif of an eagle on the gold face of the shield.

The ring's components can hold and circulate magic. Silver to draw it in, gold to amplify, and a gem to act as a focus. You can't tell what it will be used for as it isn't enchanted, but with the specific instructions, it's very obvious it will be after delivery.

Crispy and Ashley went to go find a place that sold Leather and Chain armor. (Or whatever armor Ash was looking for).

In the armor shop, Crispy found a new set of leathers that was slightly better than what she used to wear. It was dark, tight fitting, and covered most of her body like a glove, allowing movement and was very breathable. This one had latches and buckles instead of string ties, which was a nice upgrade. It wasn't overpowering or bulky, it felt like a second skin. She gladly paid for it and told the attendant to have it delivered to their room.

Once Crispy was done, she went to whatever store Ashley wanted to go and patiently waited for her to pick something out.
