The Tavern Mother (Trust me, it's not as weird as it sounds!)
I am the God-Queen of Trickery, Cunning, Lies, and Gaslighting- but you already knew that... "Moon's Haunted." *Cocks shotgun with malicious intent* "Eliksni must rise...yes?" _________ When it comes to pronouns I preferVariks-Senpai(But I'm a dude. Pronouns are weird.)
He shakes his head "I.... Ive never been able to make any effect on almost anything....."
"That doesn't have to do with how strong you are."
"... What do you think it has to do with? I... I could do so much more.if I had any ability at all..."
"With how brave you are, and how much you're willing to speak up."
"... Maybe, I guess.... I am a pretty big coward..."
"No, you aren't. You just have to know when to act."
"... When should I act, then?"
"It depends on what you're trying to do."
"Then... How will I ever know?"
"You don't, always. Sometimes you have to guess."
"Then.... Ill never be able to do things right.... We both know I have horrible judgement a lot if the time..."
"You can get better at that. It just takes practice."
"... Practice? I... Im not sure.how I can practice judgment without messing things up for people... Like I always do"
"You haven't for me."
"... Youre the only person I know very well that I haven't ruined something for yet..."
"I don't think that's true. Have you ruined things for Shardia? Or E?"
"Im unsure about Shardia... Probably...... But I know Ive ruined a few things for Ayryn... About half of it clothing with flour"
"That's not the same."
"... Theres a lot of other things, too... I messed up a lot of things on the streets.."
"But things turned out okay, right?"
".. Only after we got here..."

Ceris clocks Chase, and raises an eyebrow at the minor that probably shouldn't be in a tavern unsupervised.
Chase glances over at him. "Is something wrong?"
He shrugs. "Probably not. Just not used to seeing kids alone in places like... well, this," he says, gesturing vaguely at the tavern.
"It's not like I'm drinking or anything, if that's what you're worried about. I really just don't have anywhere else to go."
He visibly relaxes, then gets stressed again. "Oh good... wait, what? Do you not have guardians, or even friends that you could live with?"
"Nope. Not really."
"Oh. Sorry, that's... quite unfortunate. What brought you here, rather than somewhere a bit safer?"
He shrugs. "Luck. As soon as I could get off the streets, I did."
"I suppose that's fair. Do you have a job in the area, or- sorry, I'm being weird. Let's start over." He holds out his hand. "Ceris Davet. I spent some time on the streets myself, so I'm always a little worried when I spot a kid alone."
Chase shakes his hand, a little warily. "I'm Chase."
"Pleasure to meet you, Chase." He casually flicks his hand, and his outfit subtly alters itself to look a little nicer- less wrinkly, a bit cleaner, and the shirt gets tucked in.

*I think Phantom was in the middle of a convo with Oval and Albwin.*
Soldaer is sitting at the bar, drink his usual: Feywine.
Shade is walking throughout the crowd, enjoying the occasional pat on the head or scratch behind the ears.
(1. Can he sense unusual things?)
2. Avery grabs a mug, singing with a bunch of other people
*Like what? He has a 25 passive perception, so possibly*
*Something like the paladin's divine sense*
*Nope. Just very observant, without the observant feat, lol*
*Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, i can work with that*'
Soldaer can feel something, unattural, outside the tavern towards the back
A chill goes down Soldaer's spine, but he seems more curious and cautious than anything. Shade, come with me. He says telepathically so as to not disturb the other patrons. Shade comes bounding over, and they exit the tavern to investigate.
Investigation/religion check
*alright. Investigation: 27*
Its eerily quiet, like all the life outside the tavern has been silenced. The only noises coming from anywhere other than back inside, is the sound of metal against metal behind the tavern
Soldaer looks over at Shade. Be ready for anything, he says, drawing his weapons, but keeping the light from his rapier off. He and Shade then walk cautiously around back behind the tavern.
If they try and go stealthly, make a stealth check. If not: They see someone attacking a metal creature with a warpick. They seem to be doing a basic training, but something seems off about them
*For stealth check, Soldaer cast Pass Without Trace using his innate magic, so an additional +10 to both of them. Stealth: 33 for Soldaer, and 36 for Shade.*
*Yep, that passes their max possible*
The person doesn't notice them as they continue beating the automaton
Soldaer and Shade approach the person cautiously, observing them for any signs of instability.
He shakes his head "I.... Ive never been able to make any effect on almost anything....."
"That doesn't have to do with how strong you are."

He nods slowly "We.... Survived..."
"I understand you want to be strong. But you don't have to be."
"But.... I... I cant help almost anyone as just me..."
"Yes, you can. I helped people for over a hundred years without ever fighting."
"But... You still had abilities... "
"I never needed to use them."

Ceris clocks Chase, and raises an eyebrow at the minor that probably shouldn't be in a tavern unsupervised.
Chase glances over at him. "Is something wrong?"
He shrugs. "Probably not. Just not used to seeing kids alone in places like... well, this," he says, gesturing vaguely at the tavern.
"It's not like I'm drinking or anything, if that's what you're worried about. I really just don't have anywhere else to go."
He visibly relaxes, then gets stressed again. "Oh good... wait, what? Do you not have guardians, or even friends that you could live with?"
"Nope. Not really."
"Oh. Sorry, that's... quite unfortunate. What brought you here, rather than somewhere a bit safer?"
He shrugs. "Luck. As soon as I could get off the streets, I did."
"I suppose that's fair. Do you have a job in the area, or- sorry, I'm being weird. Let's start over." He holds out his hand. "Ceris Davet. I spent some time on the streets myself, so I'm always a little worried when I spot a kid alone."
Chase shakes his hand, a little warily. "I'm Chase."
"Pleasure to meet you, Chase." He casually flicks his hand, and his outfit subtly alters itself to look a little nicer- less wrinkly, a bit cleaner, and the shirt gets tucked in.
"Magic?"
He smiles slightly. "Good eye. A bit, yes. Nothing major, though."
"I've always been perceptive. I had to be."
He nods his head. "That makes sense. Gotta use everything available to you, no?"
"If I didn't, I would probably be dead."
"Fair. Always on edge, if I were to guess. Gods know I never got to take a break."
Chase almost laughs. "I don't think I really ever slept until I came here."

Soldaer and Shade approach the person cautiously, observing them for any signs of instability.

They seem like a normal human besides the unnatural purple glow coming from their eyes, which reflect in the robot's bronze carapace.
