Quote from MayhemMage >>

Lussa stops, "huh?  Well, how did this simple girl get so popular?"  Glancing around her for threats before bending down and extending a hand out to the cat,

Perception check:  10 (disadvantage due to sunlight)

"And what is your name?  I haven't heard much about this Emerald Enclave, but what I have sounds intriguing."

 The cat smiles back. "I'm Ziki. The Emerald Enclave is basically a front-runner of heroes who work to preserve the balance of nature. We're mainly comprised of druids and rangers, and we sometimes operate inside of the city." 

Demalis the drow gunslinger you met with didn't give you a location, but you had a feeling his leader would be in touch with you. 

We'll fast forward to later in the morning. After some coffee courtesy of Lim, you get a knock at the door. You see a well-dressed drow at your door. You sense a swagger about him as he eyes the building. 

Whoever opens the door he smiles and says "Hello, I was just in the neighborhood and heard the Manor had new owners. Very lovely. May I speak with one of the owners, a young lad. Demalis I think his name was." 

Meep looks up as he opens the door, surprised at the number of dark elves in the city. "Hi! I'm Meep, and this is our house. Tavern. Hou-vern. Delmalis is here, come on in - would you like half a rat? I was just finishing breakfast."

Sybil will the give newcomer a glance before just focusing on her breakfast.

Twitch hissed at the drow and moved over next to Meep....

" We go speak with Davil Starsong at the Yawning Portal?"

" Who dis drow?"

The newcomer shakes his head at Meep's offer. "I'm full on breakfast, but thank you for the offer." Each of you notices how his eyes scan the room, briefly focusing on everyone as he waits for Demalis. He turns to Twitch and nods. "Dis drow is named J.B. Nevercott. Pleased to meet you all. I don't want to keep your friend for too much longer." 

Lussa, trying to work with Lim on using the slate and chalk for communication, will glance over at the drow (Insight check:  5), nod to him but continue her efforts on use and placement of the chalkboards.

(If Lim can use the chalk to write, yay!  If not, she will coat the board with chalk so he can write in the chalk dust as he did the dust on the bar.  Once this is done, she'll talk to him about his willingness and ability to cook for the party.)

As Alberich returns to the manor, he goes straight to the stairs at the back of the building to enter the area with their rooms. He goes to the same room he slept in last night, and starts looking through the books on Deep Speech and Infernal he loaned, and study the supplies for making disguises and forging documents he bought. His new heavy crossbow is set close enough to grab if anything unexpected happens, and one of the bolt cases put on his belt to easily find ammo to load the crossbow with.

Lim could use the chalkboard to communicate and he writes "This is nice" and "clean bar." He helps Lussa with placement in an area near the bar where customers could see the chalkboard. 

Lussa you glance over at J.B. and you feel like he's genuine when he wants to speak to Demalis, but he also keeps glancing in your direction, not in a sexual way but he's watching you. 

Alberich, do you spend the rest of the day studying and staying in your room? 

He'll wander down to look for something to eat around dinner time.

Lussa chuckles, "I'm very happy that you approve, Lim!"  Lowering her voice so it didn't carry any further than the ghost, "And I will get to work on more cleaning, but I have to go see a kitty in the Southern Ward.  Somewhere called Falconmore, or no that's not it, but something like that.  Ever heard of it?"

Delmalis comes down after his morning routine of cleaning mold out of the corners of his room, seeing the drow, he'll head over cautiously, "Morning, I assume you're here on behalf of them?"

Lussa

Lim pauses at a moment and then he proceeds to write out a map of the South Ward on the chalkboard and a little star next to the building where you're supposed to go and writes "Phaulkonmore?" next to it.

Demalis

J.B. raises an eyebrow at Demalis. "You know what they say about making assumptions, but yes I'm here on behalf of my employer Bregan D'Arthe. If you a moment, I'd like to speak to you and your ranger friend in private."

Sybil makes mental note to check what Bregan D'Arthe is before finishing her meal, "Do scream if something happens," She says to Demali before she heads to her room and proably checks for repairs need for her room at the least. 

Lussa nods, "yes, that's has to be it.  Thanks, Lim!  If there is ever anything you want or need, just let me know and I'll do whatever it takes for you."  She studies the map trying to memorize the turns to get her there.

Delmalis glances hesitantly at Lussa, "Why don't we step outside and you can tell us what you've in mind? Not much privacy in here until we make a few repairs."

Meep watches the tall ones talk, then slurps the rat tail like a strand of spaghetti and turns to Twitch. "Okay, that sounds interesting.  We're running low on rats, maybe we can find a ratcatcher on the way. Let's go find Davil, packmate."

J.B. shakes his head and points to Meep and Twitch. "They appear to be leaving, so I figure we can talk once they're gone."

Sybil

There aren't any major repairs needed to your room. Some dust and a few small holes in the wall seem to be the only real issue. You think that maybe a nice coat of paint and some decorations this room could feel like home.

As Meep and Twitch go to leave, Lussa gives Lim's map one more review and moves to head out herself.

Thinking she's going to be around the city for some time, she'll head out to get some paint, wood to fix and probably a better bed than a bedroll. Also see if there's a shop for magic items after the Drow departs. Maybe pay a visit to Three Strings and ask about Bregan D'Arthe.
