Blood Scales Game

"REALLY! Dad didn't say that! Mom you hear that! Daddy is awesome" The small gnome will jump up and down before hanging on her arm and nearly pulling her over. The gnome woman will look at Thimbol with a smile and an unsure look in her eye before looking down to her son. "Yes your father is awesome but I am sure Mr. Thimbol is just being nice.. your father is not the fighting type and In dont want you getting any ideas little boy." She will say poking his nose with her finger. "Now tell Mr. Thimbol thank you again so we can let him get back to resting, My name is Ginger by the way and it was very nice to meet you and thank you so much!" The little boy will step forward and give the healing another hug "Thanks again Mr. Thimbol!" And with that they both turn and leave heading back towards the church.

 "Will do, my friend. With any luck, once the Mayor is feeling up to it, me and the others will talk to him about the wall project. Till then, take your time. I got at least a few ideas for a temporary solution." The laugh he leaves on boarders on the wicked. If he sees the Mayor's wife and child along the way, he respectfully stops and bows to the duo in passing... assuming he recognizes them in the first place. Otherwise, it is just a simply smile grin and nod in passing on his way to the Inn.

As Navek goes past the two gnomes the small boy will stop a moment with his mouth open, causing his mother to stop a moment as well when she meets resistance against the hand he is holding. "Mommy is that one of the heroes like Mr. Thimbol!" The small gnome will say to his mom while pointing at the goliath. "Yes Laerence, now let's get back to your father ok, we have been gone long enough..." the dark haired gnome woman will then look to Navek. "Thank you for everything sir.." Then she and her son will continue on their way. 

(Navek would not know it was the mayors wife on sight)

Thimbol smiled through the conversation, accepting the hug from Lawrence again. "Nice to meet you as well, Ginger. Lawrence." Watching the two walk away before closing the door.

(So Mo, thimbol, and Navek are at the inn *well he will be shortly, he is basically right down the street heading that way* and Sayre and Lorarila are talking to the strange new guy that appears to be working at Smoke's shop...)

"Uh, who are you," Sayre asks curiously annoyed. Insight looking at the man's curious familiarity 12 "Where's Smoke," she adds far too leary of strangers now.

OOC: Sayre's worked with Smoke for a while as well as been in and out of Black Oak since she was small so who's this guy... hahaha History? 

(you have never seen this guy before)

"Sayre I presume?" the pale almost ash skinned man will say with a smile on his face. "Smoke has told me about you, he is downstairs adding a big clock to his secret stash" He will hold his hands up and make air quotes as he mentions his stash. "He told me that it is reserved for his more exotic pieces so who knows that thing thing does... but anyway!" He will stand up straight looking at both Sayre and Lorarila "I just arrived in town yesterday, Smoke has agree'd to let me work here at his shop as a favor to my mother... I guess he is supposed to be a good influence on me or something" He rolls his eyes hard when mentioning Smoke being a good influence. My Mother and smoke were old business partners years ago and I guess he owed her a favor and here I am. So what can I do for you?

"Smoke," Sayre shouts now from inside the store towards the direction of the basement her hands ready at her dagger and handaxe on her hip backing away from the counter. "Lora I don't trust strangers anymore," she adds next eyeing the wizard with intense interest. "SMOKE," she yells louder until getting a response from her former employer and cousin.

OOC: Wreck done made me question EVERYTHING. Like is it a chair or secretly a mimic. Is it a new shop boy OR is it a BSer double agent?!

 My insight roll but passive is 13.

(Who knows for sure?!?! With that insight you are pretty sure he is telling the truth)

So as Sayre starts yelling for Smoke, the man will turn and look to Lorarila. "My name is Lex, what's yours? Is there anything I can do for you? the man will say running his hand through his bark wispy hair. A moment later Smoke will emerge from the basement with a slight look of irritation for a moment before it fades into a smile. "Sayre! to what do I owe the pleasure of your company again today, is this the third or fourth time today, I seem to have lost count?!" he will say as he comes over and places his hand on Sayre's shoulder. "I see you have met Lex, he got into town yesterday and was watching the shop while I was at the Mayors speech and had been running errands for me this morning and taking inventory for me off items in the basement.. and after the incident the mayor.. he asked if he could go help the injured.... I didn't realize he was back already." The older teifling will turn to Lex "But now that you are back I would like it if you continued your previous task for me.." the expression on his face turning serious enough to cause Lex to drop his smile and nod. "It was nice meeting you" He says looking at the halfelf before turning to sayre "both.." before making his way down the flight of stairs behind the counter. Smoke will take a moment to rub the bridge of his nose with his finger and thumb for a minute as the man leaves slowly, as he gets to the stairs and begins to descend he will look back to Lorarila and whisper to her in a different language. (abyssal) "See you around soon I hope" 

Lorarilla and sayre roll me perception and arcana for me.

Perception 20/Arcana 13

OOC: is he an android?! *spoilers*

"I've been in and out if here for years and I've never seen him. Sorry. After today I'll be more wary of strangers," she explains. "What's thw matter," sje asks gleaning the irritation off Smoke.

(beep boop beeep)

Sayre knows he is not a human based on the way his hair seems to almost act like shadow or smoke towards the tips, the coloration of his skin, and the ways his eyes look but you don't know for sure what he is.

Navek walks right assuming the door isn't locked, and he sees Thimbol out of bed he says, "It is good to see that you're that eager to get back to work." It was mainly said in jest; but, some parts of Navek expression hinted at hope as well. If Thimbol and/or Mo (if he is visibly around) accept that statement, he motions for them and the twins to circle up by the door. "See you two got properly suited up as well. Good. Because until unless its to get yourself properly cleaned up, you two aren't to take those off for the next full week. That's right. That means sleeping too." Navek grins.

"First order of business is to establish some ground -- wait. The girls haven't made it back yet?" He glances around and curses in giant under breath. "Alright, I'll hold off on that for now, and just say there are going to be three important rules that we're going to follow from now on. Number One. You NEVER going anywhere on your own. I know the village is on the small side and you've grown up here all your life. But as Thimbol here can probably attest to, some of the scales are familiar with this village as well, and won't hesitate to take advantage of what they know." Nave waits to gauge folks reaction. 

"It is nothing young one, I had just hoped to get more accomplished today and my new help is taking every opportunity to NOT do what I ask him to do... " He says with a sign, still rubbing the bridge of his nose..."Which is probably why his mother made the deal with me that she did... Lex is a 24 year old man, he shouldn't need his mother to save his butt but if it is going to get me better prices and access to some exclusive goods than I suppose I can try to straighten the kid out...." A small smile with spread across Smoke's face. "So was he bothering you two or did you need anything else? You need any potions or anything? Your halfling friend looked kind of rough when I helped take the mayor and sheriff to the Church... If you don't need anything else however, I will head back downstairs to supervise Lex... 

(if you have more to say to him / ask him you can go for it, otherwise he will head downstairs leaving you alone in the shop... )

Arcana: 7

Perception:9

Staring quietly at the man for a while, and wondering why he was so bizzare but not wanting to interrupt Sayre or Smoke. "When we get free time, I can come over and assist you somedays. You such a huge help, I would feel like it's owed." Walks to the stairs and calls down in Abyssal. "Don't speak this language again you smoky haired twit!" Forcing a smile and going to Smoke, "Be careful around that guy, he isn't very bright."

"OK Mom!" you hear Lex yell back in Abyssal. "Sure Lorarila I will take all the assistance In can get.. There is a lot of items coming and going out of this place and it gets hard to keep track of it all.." Smoke will say with a smile. 

(on phone)

Thimbol scowled slightly at Navek, never being one for rules. "Just into the first rule, and I'm already not a fan. What happens if we don't follow these? I need to make a trip just to the church, I don't need a babysitter. " Stepping back from the group slightly and crossing his arms. "If the mayor would have listened to me and went into hiding or ramped up security he would have never been injured. The blood scales had a deadline or they'd be killed by Shiv, so it wasn't a surprise they'd be so desperate."

"We'll help when we can ..but what's wrong with him. He's not human that's for sure," Sayre will exclaim. "Seems fishy to me," sheadds.

"His mother informed me that he is an aasimar I believe...  but he definitely doesn't have the nice glow I was expecting... "  Smoke will say with a shrug. "He seems like a nice enough guy I suppose... just needs some guidance I believe.." the Tiefling will say scratching his chin."His mother said he got in a little fight and she got scared.... so here he is..

OOC: Are you seriously Fresh Princing an angel. Lolz

"Oh," Sayre replies with a shocked expression. "I hope it works in your favor. I just wanted to check on you," she explains. Turning to Lora. "We should find the others," she adds. "Good evening Smoke," she says leaving the shop.
