The guard smiles.

"I see... but I am afraid he only showed to us their invitations... " 

He extends his hand again as if he was waiting for them to give him something. 

Moltaris glances over her shoulder at Hurosk, and a harsh bark of laughter echoes in his head. (Mind Link) I will literally kill myself before paying this idiot...

    The half orc chuckles lightly, apparently to himself. He looks at the cleric and gives a slight nod to the alley. "Try a back way," he responds using the mind link.

( so you guys left the main entrance and look around for another one? ) 

(Not yet. Hurosk merely suggested it.)

Moltaris turns back from Hurosk to the guards, a cold and haughty look on her face as her golden eyes fix on the guard expecting a bribe. Then she looks down as if too frustrated to even speak. She taps her chin with a finger and growls something in Quori, casting Guidance on herself, before looking up and smiling broadly.

"Do you really think one of my people needs a slip of paper or some silly metal to deserve entrance to your backwater soiree? If only your master knew how poorly you are serving him - leaving a foreign emissary like myself standing in the mud and the fog."

Persuasion: 23

( Those rolls guys.. those rolls ;) ) 

The guard seems to lose his confidence and looks to his companion looking for asistance but he only shrugs his shoulders.

"Well.. excuse me M'lady I didn't recgonize you... is this fog..." he says taking a step back and clearing the entrance. " please come in and enjoy yourselves. " he says 

After beign received by the mayordomo and left their weapons at the room and have their own masks they enter the main hall, where they can see Kyne dancing with a red dragon masked lady, they don't locate Lyreis at first sight, but after a few seconds the three gather again while the music is still playing and Kyne is still dancing. 

In the dance floor the elf gesture makes his partner lose one step and she laughs. Is the sound of that laugh that makes Kyne aware that the woman is young, not a teenager but a young adult by the human standards. 

" Oh I would love to visit that places someday " she says " But I guess that I will need a guide... Don't you know anyone who could be intereseted in take care of a young woman like me?" she is obviously flirting with the boldness of the youth, but Kyne can say that this isn't the first time she tries to seduce a man.

     Before the half-orc follows through the door behind Molly, he turns back to the guard. "Speaking of the fog... Is this a normal occurrence around here?"

      After his brief conversation with the guard, the orc steps behind Molly. Looking over the crowd and what his companions are up to, Hurosk begins to shake his head. "Well, isn't that nice. While we're chasing a ghost, these two seem to be having a grand time." 

"Not so dense this time of the year, but yeah... I'm afraid so.." replies the guard, who closes his cloak trying to save himself from the humidity.

"Perhaps..." Kyne drawls with a knowing smirk, looking her up and down like the hungry wolf his mask depicts. "Maybe we should discuss the needs of a young woman, like yourself, in more detail. Away from all this noise and commotion. So distracting sometimes, don't you think?"

Easy Kyne, he thinks to himself, hearing the music near its end. Stay on target. You only need to get into her *head*.

As they others enter the room Lyreis sees them and slowly moves about the room, not directly heading for them but moving closer, until he moves close enough to Hurosk to whisper "Well met, leave Kyne to dance, he seems to be succeeding, although I'm not sure at what exactly. I met two young men who may well be able to shed some light on the issue we are here for. Look for the bull and his friend. Let's not cause too much trouble though. For now at least." He saunters off, replacing an empty wine glass for a full one as he does. 

( Kyne roll another Persuasion roll please, with advantage. Seeing your last rolls you won't need it but.. ;) ) 

The two newcomers spot easily the owl and bull masked men across the dancing floor. The bull one seems to look from time to time to Kyne and the dragon masked woman, the other one, however, seems to keep an eye on Lyreis, just to be sure they are out of his way. 

The waitress, a young woman with short brown hair, takes the elf's cup and gives him another one full of a strong red wine. 

" Do you need anything more sir?" she aks. 

( The three of you please, give me an Insight check. ) 

Kyne Persuasion: 26

( You see? first roll XD ) 

She chuckles 

" I already have a room upstairs... maybe there we could talk more... privately " 

Easy prey, Kyne thinks to himself, grinning in amusement as he lets Khalistraax lead them both from the dance floor. He watches their surroundings carefully as she leads him through the building, making sure to memorise their path and watch for anything suspicious or potentially dangerous. He also takes a moment to give a nod to Lyreis and the others as she leads him off, so that they are aware of where he is going.

Of course, this entire play is based on the assumption the she knows something about this 'Red Dream'. All he has to do is loosen her lips.

THe party sees how the elf is led away towards one of the lateral exits of the hall by the red dressed woman. 

Lyreis sees that the two men who was looking over them, the gorilla and the hound masked ones, goes after them. Looking sharp to the other two, the owl taps the bull on his shoulder and the other one shakes his friend hand from the shoulder and storm off the hall in oposite direction. 

Kyne:

Insight 13

With a carefree flick of his wrist, Kyne loosens the ribbon behind his head and sets his mask down on the table, before pouring each of them a fresh drink. He takes care to keep himself between Khalistraax and the door as he waits for her to remove her own mask and silently considers how to get her talking. Alcohol seems like a good start.
