Molly accepts a hawkish raptor bird mask from the majordomo and slips it into place over her features. As Lyreis whispers to Hurosk, the kalasthar scans around the room, noticing that most of the wine being served is red. Red as in Red Dream? she ponders for a moment. Then she gets a funny itching sensation between her shoulder blades and turns around to see a waitress standing suspiciously close to her.
"Excuse me - what are you doing?" the cleric asks.

Mathilda has been observing the elf and up close, it seems she was right to think that he and his friends seem a little out of place at this party, but what are they up to? She suppresses the urge to chew her bottom lip and maintains the polite smile of a waitress instead. The elf seemed careful not to make his connection to his two friends terribly obvious, could they be a group of thieves working a heist? In that case, she'd better grab what she can before the rich nobles are alerted. Unconsciously, she reaches for the small dagger hidden underneath her service apron, touching it to reassure herself.
Quickly dropping her hand, Tilda smiles at the female of the group.
"I'm sorry, I was wondering if you would like anything more to drink? Perhaps a few hors d'oeuvres?"
The woman's gaze makes her uneasy and she shifts from one foot to another. Did she see her steal that bracelet from the fat noblewoman earlier? No, surely not...
As Khalistraax's hair falls to her shoulders, Kyne is caught off guard by her likeness to Lelya. He stands there for a moment, frozen as the image of her bleeding in his arms at the fall of the Order flashes before his eyes... and then it passes, and his usual bravado returns, covering what might lie beneath.
Shaking his head as though to dispel such thoughts, he steps forwards and positions himself behind the woman. He runs a hand down her stunning mane of hair and leans around to whisper in her ear over one shoulder.
"Khalistraax... such an unusual name in a human realm. It sounds almost... Draconic in origin?"
"oh did you notice? " she smiles taking the cup of wine that he gives to her and sitting on the edge of the bed. " Khalistraax was a Queen among the dragons. She was as powerful as the bigger of the males that roamed the skyes. And she was twice as powerful and brave. She ruled over the whole continent of Argonnessen when it haven't that name yet. Some say that a group of bold adventurers entered her domain and defeated her, so the continent could be finally get free of her tyranicall rule. Some say that she was called to another plane and that she joined the Council of Dragons and is part now of the Prophecy. Some say that she is still there, hidden deep in her lair, sleeping, and that when she finally awakes her wrath will burn not only Argonnessen but the seas the the rest of the continents too."
She sonds pretty excited about that history and takes some sips of the wine while talking about it.
As Molly addresses the servant, Hurosk turns and casts a curious glance at the individual. Realizing it is just the waitress, "Oh, I think I will have some." He picks up a full glass and a bite to eat. "Thank you, miss."
Sorry, I meant that all of you who are talking downstair make an INT check please.

"Elves have long memories. I know that story well. Nobody ever was powerful enough to slay the mighty Khalistraax, but she was driven out by those who rose up against her. Her lair was never found."
He settles down besides her on the bed and reaches out to push a stray lock of hair back out of her face, leaning in close.
"How did you come to learn so much of old dragon lore?"
Both Molly and Hurosk recognize the waitress as the servant that aided the old lady into her carriage when they arrived to the Golden Sphynx. The elf wasn't paying attention, he was torn between the two men that folllowed Kyne and the woman and the two young lads that are leaving the room.
Kyne:
She chuckles.
"I had to read a lot when I was a child. " she says " my father never let me get out much so... I dived into his library. And the dragon histories were always my favorites. Big and powerful, able to do what they want when they want.... " her eyes lighten up with enthusiasm " As I can do now... " she looks at Kyne and leans closer to him, looking directly into his eyes, her pupils open, her breath agitated.
"Keep an eye on the bull and his friend, they may lead to a supplier." Lyreis delivers this suggestion as he moves past Moltaris slowing but without stopping before continuing to move after the pair who are in turn following Kyne and his new friend.

Hurosk gives a nod to Lyreis as he moves to follow upstairs. Detecting nothing out of sorts with the waitress, the ranger adjusts his panther mask making sure it doesn't obstruct his view of the other patrons and continues to keep an eye on the bull and his friend.
Kyne is about to kiss her, but she takes the initiative and kiss his lips. She is passionate and after the first kiss she chuckles and says.
"Never kissed an elf before "
And kiss him again. After a couple of minutes she stops him and says.
" I have something... " her eyes bright with excitment she looks for a hidden purse on her dress and produces a small wooden box with golden reliefs. She put it in front of Kyne's face and smiling opens it. Inside there is a red powder. "Let's put it on the wine " she said giving the box to Kyne to hold and taking their cups " Then you'll see... " she starts to pour the substance between the two cups.
Lyreis:
The two men goes upstairs and enter the third room on the right on a hallway full of wooden doors at each side of it. You can hear moaning from one or two doors at the left side and laughs from another one at the end of the corridor. You don't know where Kyne went.
Hurosk:
You see that the two young men seems to be getting ready to leave the Sphynx. Following them before they leave the main ball room you hear one of them saying
"Let's get more and forget about her... "
Molly and Mathilda:
You two are still on the ball room, the cleric still bot buying what the fake waitress told her.
"Ahh," Kyne replies with interest, "this must be the 'Red Dream' I've heard so much about. Everyone whispers of it, but it seems hard to come by. Where did you get this?"
He plants kisses along Khalistraax's neck between the words, taking her free hand by the wrist and gently but firmly moving it behind her back as he waits for her to answer. He holds it tight there, pinning it in place, gambling that she will find this exciting too.

(Did 'Tilda appear to be in the employ of the one she helped into the carriage or the Golden Sphinx when we saw her outside?)
(The very same one that you saw, and she was, apparently, working for the Golden Sphynx, part of the staff of it. Sorry for my confusion.)

Hurosk gives a nod to Lyreis as he moves to follow upstairs. Detecting nothing out of sorts with the waitress, the ranger adjusts his panther mask making sure it doesn't obstruct his view of the other patrons and continues to keep an eye on the bull and his friend.
