Should we post the tale(s?) here? It's for everyone's enjoyment.
Yes, you may post it here. I think in this case, it would be better than me just shortening it, and since this group seems pretty RP heavy I think it would be appropriate.
The Grand Re-Opening Party goes without a hitch, and all the PCs are there to enjoy Saerirra, Cade and Peshley's show, before they get "snagged" by their current adventures. Except for Team Evil...Team Evil is way too busy plotting the Apocalypse lol

Cade walks up to the stage with Saerirra following from the left side. Meanwhile Peshley is coming towards the right of the stage all three are attempting to set the mood. (Prestidigitation –Lowering the lightsaround the bar). Once all of the lights have dimmed except for a single bright torch up on stage Cade waits for Saerirra to begin her tune. (A slow overture to get the audiences attention). Cade then says with a beaming voice, “Ladies and Gentleman, allow me to tell you a tale filled with magic,(Prestidigitation - Shower of gold and white sparks)("Ta da!" sound) might (Strikes a fighters pose), and riches! (Minor illusion - open chest full of gold and gems)(Short tune indicating a small moment of triumph) This tale, however is not one of delight, this story is meant for the ears of those who travel together henceforth as a warning! We begin our story with the harbor City of Calaunt, which is not a particularly spectacular city...in fact some would say it down right stunk! (Minor Illusion - Map showing location of the city) Most of the buildings were of a depressing gray color and were so closely packed together that there was no room for any trees or greenery to grow. The streets were littered with trash and all manners of waste...especially the brown kind...'Is it just mud?'...I wouldn't trust it if I were you. If you were thinking, 'Eh...at least it has a harbor. Maybe I'll go for a swim.', which you could, but you won't come out the same. The water around Calaunt has been made unbearable due to the amount of pollution that inhabits the water...and if it happens to be a hot summer...Phew! There was one single structure within the city that was considered grand though. Built with red brick on the Eastern side of Calaunt it was a massive sight to behold called the Fortress of the Five Vultures. (Minor Illsuion - picture of a fortress with large birds circling it) (Short somber note of despair)
The fortress housed the Supreme Scepter and his Merchant Dukes...they were the rulers of Calaunt and they ruled with an iron fist that clutched a bloody dagger! (Minor illusion - a dagger with a drop of blood about to drip from its point)(Saerirra gives a look of horror) They would often go through the city and confiscate magical items and riches from visitors to the city claiming, “It's for the benefit of the City.”, to which they stockpiled an impressive collection of magical items...that they of course were the only ones allowed to have for their own personal use. Oh and for those of you thinking, 'If I had been there I would have shown them what for!', well, you would've taken up permanent residency in the filthy waters (Classic sound of something falling, you know the one)(Prestidigitation - Sound of a splash) that surround Calaunt, for those who ruled had no qualms with having slayed any visitor who either meddled in their affairs or had overstayed their welcome. The law in Calaunt existed and was doled out to the letter through a vast army of three hundred scores of soldiers (Minor illusion - image of a captain overlooking a large formation of men)(Dun dun dun!) who not only did the bidding of those who ruled the city, but also of the local thieves guild for which they had struck a bargain.
You may be listening to this tale and thinking, 'Ah...yes! I will be sure to avoid cities like this in my travels.,' OR ,'I will make it my duty to stand vigilant against such tyranny if I come upon it!'. If you were paying attention I said at the beginning of this tale that it was for those who travel henceforth, but it was not to warn you of cities like Calaunt that exist, but a foreboding warning to not be the ones to create such a place. Those who ruled Calaunt started out as a band of adventurer's that consisted of: three fighters, a cleric, a wizard, a thief and an illusionist. (Minor illusion - Generic band of adventurers)(Slightly louder Dun Dun Dun!) They took it upon themselves to finally settle down and took over an entire city that would be under their thumb for their own nefarious purposes. (Minor illusion - King sitting on a throne with a bloddy sword across his knees)(Saerirra sticks her tongue out at the illusion and gives a thumbs down) So, go forth and have great adventures and may you find riches and glory, but strive to not leave such a wake of murder and greed that it will be what you are infamously written into the history pages for others to tell to the masses. (Minor Illusion - a large closed tome with the title “History of the kingdoms”) (Prestidigitation - Snuff torch beside Cade)(Simple jingle to note the end of the story).
OOC: There was a color code to everything in the original post, but I figured it was easier to just post it without the coloring.
The the Grand Re-opening party is the stuff of legends. Magical wine fountains and entertainment fit for Royalty. No expense is spared. The crowd is enthralled by Saerirra, Cade and Peshley's performance.
Guess, both parties can see each other walking back and forth in obvious preparations for a departure?
The Tavern has become the Main Player "hub", where Rumors about their wheareabouts will spread, and characters can hang out in between quests. In other words, kind of an Annoucement/Achievement board.
TEAM 1 AND TEAM 2 BUMP INTO EACH OTHER AT RUSKOR'S CASTLE OF JUNK !
You may interact with each other on this main thread as you are shopping, but any interaction or purchase from Ruskor and Brumhilda will be resolved on the respective private threads. Also remember, both Teams are now "on the clock", so to speak...Team Evil is currently moving to achieve its goals in the Darkness, and the consequences are starting to show...
