Blood Scales Game

Thimbol stood in silence, speechless while he watched the kiss happen in front of his very eyes. It left him dazed until Lorarila placed the too hat on top his head as she passed. A smile forming on his face. "Of.. of course, Lorarila." Ready to follow her until Navek calls them both away instead. "Not one to challenge a goliath, he'd follow Navek instead?

"Fine, go talk but come catch up. I will keep Sayre company, I think they are jealous that they didn't get any kisses." Chuckling and following Sayre, "Sayre, thank you for trying to protect me. It was a very noble gesture, I am happy to have you as my escort."

Drak will laugh as the dagger bounces harmlessly on the floor. You can tell that for a moment he thought about lunging for it but thought better of it before backing up a little farther into his cell... grabbing another apple and tossing it into his mouth as Payne arrives to take control of the situation. As Payne walks down the cell block, she will walk right into the cell, push past Mo and Lorarila and deliver a hard uppercut to the smug lizardfolk sending him back into the stone wall. Drak will look up with shock in his eyes as the hobgoblin turns and gives Lorarila a hard stare. "That was a foolish thing to do! it was bad enough going into the cell with that monster but to put yourself that close to him... with your guard down like that... " she will say, shaking her head before ushering everyone out of the cell and slamming the cell door shut before escorting everyone back upstairs. As you all make your way upstairs and out of the jail, it is a beautiful sunny day around noon or so.

"You can not parlay with men like him," Sayre replies to Lorarila. "I've seen his kind before," she adds her tone bitter and her expression hard. "We tried your way and got a little information but you paid for it," she points to her wound. "From now I don't think taking prisoners is the best idea," she adds continuing to head to Smoke's shop.

Lorarila huffs, shrugging to Payne. "I am okay, I trusted he would not kill me. If he is to trust us, we have to give him some as well." Looks at Sayre"I think I did very well, sure it hurt but I will be fine. We got the information, we can't just kill everyone we don't trust or has done something wrong. His 'kind' may not all be salvageable but I will try with the ones I can. It is theeast I can do for them. Now, no more fussing Sayre. We are all okay, and happy. Let's visit Smoke and see what we can get done."

 Once everyone is outside, Navek stops rubbing his face long enough to address the group. "Well this morning has certainly been a swim down the dagger rapids. But." He claps his hands together. "So Smoke's then first. Understood." He agreed and falls in line with the others. Along the way he asks, "Also, Thimbol. Sorry again about before, but you were trying to give me something before?" 

As Lorarila, Sayre, and everyone else arrive at Smoke' s shop, they see him outside instructing his large shield golem out front, guiding him through the task of hanging a few enormous hanging baskets. The giant baskets are overflowing with waterfalls of flowers and herbs used in many magic potions and as spell components. The shop itself looks similar to a small wizards tower with an overhang that shelters the front door from weather and supports a large sign that glows with a magical light. The sign reads "Smokes's Specialties"

Thimbol paused briefly, trying to keep up with where everyone was going or what was even happening anymore. "Um, ya. Uh, one sec. " Reaching into the small bag of gems for the pearl to hand to Navek. "Not sure, what you needed this for, but it'll do you more good than me. " Nodding to the Goliath before following the others to Smokes

"Good morning cousin," Sayre will call out to Smoke with a soft smile nowhere near as jovial as she usually is. "I have a favor to ask," she adds.

OOC: Wreck I'm PMing you.

Navek's eyes go wide. "Where do you get-nevermind. Let's leave that story for another time. Now, if only I had an owl feather..." The goliath glances down at his shield, and considers it for a moment. In a few more, he unpacks and undoes the tarp-like covering, causing its recently polished and somewhat buffed surface to catch the noonday light.

It looks as if some attempts at fixing and altering the design emblazoned on the shield: a symbol of a hammer overlapping a mountain engulfed in red and white flames. "Thimbol. If you would lend me the bag as well. The one with all the magical items?" He asks, and should Thimbol relent, which is probably around the time they walk in, Navek can be seen trying to peer through the pearl at the bag, and state something in some guttural tongue that only an attentive Mo would understand.

In Giant:

 Navek stops at that point, and waits hoping for the prayer to be answered.

(I’m confused. Are we all at Smokes? Just Sayre and Lorarila?...)

Thimbol hands over the bag to Navek? ”That’s just the stuff from the safe.” 

(I assumed that Sayre and Lorarila had walked a little ahead and arrived as Smoke's first with you and Navek and Mo not far behind... just far enough that he could ask for the pearl and and start casting his ritual... I will say that he was able to hold on to the pearl and say his prayer while walking so that now that you are near the front of Smokes shop probably 40 or 50 feet behind them, Navek could identify everything before you went into the place... that way you could save some money on identifying (Smoke would charge you per item, even at a family rate...) and see if he wants to buy anything you don't want.. since you know what it is and could get a better price for it...)

**are the pearl and feather consumed by casting the spell?**

(Unless it says that they are, I don't think the materials are consumed, some spells will specifically say that they are consumed.. if it doesn't say that they are... you are good to reuse it)

Mo walks by as Navek as asking about the owl feather, "Hey you need a feather. Mo can get you a feather."  and Mo will start to walk out of town to the nearby woods to look for feathers.

Mo, give me a perception check.. a survival check... and an investigation check

OOC: No identify doesn't consume components!!

Spotting Mo wandering towards the woods Sayre excuses herself from Smoke and Lorarila jogging off towards him. Making sure NONE of the party followed she will speak.

"I think Thimbol has something he's not telling us," Sayre begins pausing as Mo is looking around distractedly. Sayre will then put her hands on his arm the concern apparent in her face. "Mo! What are you looking for," she exclaims next!

P.s. Sayre gives Mo help to find the feather onces he's explains what he's looking for!!

Dang it, I posted at the same time as Amazing amazon lol.

So Sayre is helping mo find a feather, Lorarila is still heading over to see smoke... and Thimbol and Navek are following behind heading to see smoke or are they hunting for a feather too?
