Candlekeep Mysteries

“Mmmbuh-bye,” Greensong’s girlish voice comes as you take your leave. “Breakfast will be ready soon!”

As you move down the hallway toward the lounge, one of the white-tunic wearing beauticians passes you in the other direction, turning into the kitchen.

In the lounge, you find most of the guests already seated. “No coffee?,” the Baldur’s Gate sergeant inquires gruffly. “No,” replies Morganna, smiling. “It will only slow your healing, and reduce the efficacy of our offerings. Do try our invigorating ginger and goblin-mint tea,” she suggests, gesturing to the other white-tunic wearing beautician who is now situated at the bar to prepare the concoction. Today, Morganna wears a gauzy white knee-length dress, leather riding boots, and a leather hat with a brim embroidered in gold. She moves with the same elegant confidence as yesterday.

Also in the room is a new face, though equally stunning as Morganna. A tall, brown-complexioned woman in a cream-colored blouse straining at the seams under a square-cut dirndl top with strong-looking shoulders and muscled thighs revealed by a leather skirt. Little One does a double-take, then simply stares…

“Ah, our new guests. Welcome,” the latter says, in a full-throated alto voice. “I am Azirssa, proprietor of the Temple of the Restul Lily…” 

“Co-proprietor,” Morganna cuts her off cheerfully. 

“Riiiigghhhtt…,” Azirssa says, smiling back at Morganna. “Remember everyone, that the morning workout begins 30 minutes after breakfast is served, in the Garden. Ah! My timing is excellent as ever, haha…” Indeed, at that moment, the first white-tunic wearing staff person – as ever, wordlessly – comes into the lounge bearing a huge salad bowl which he sets on the bar, where tableware is neatly set out.

“Do help yourselves,” Morganna says to the room. Azirssa had been just about to say the same thing and smiles dimples to Morganna in a way which either says, ‘I love you,’ or ‘I will kill you before the sun sets.’ No, or course it must be the former…

Meredith stares at Azirssa for a full thirty seconds, " ..........Mommy......."

Then shakes her head........thats a Hag.....H...A..G....no....look at Bell and Erudisia...****y at Bell and Erudisia.....
