[Ooc: lol, is Pyros Japanese now? Or just an Anime character?]

Cal, Cross, Elsa, Merrick, Mira and Pyros: Harmonic Hall
Pyros sheepishly grins and waves to the startled patrons, "HAI!!" Elsa rolls her eyes hard enough for someone to hear it from the next room, just before catching his arm and drawing him back to hide among the rest of the party. Merrick looks halfway between shock and laughter, but the musicians of the hall have unanimously decided on incredulous surprise. Mira, trying to salvage the situation, strides forward to ask a young woman if Madame Brodeur is about. Unfortunately nobody who answers seems to recall her being around The Hall today, which is not wholly unusual for a Sunday.


Artanis and Yasir: Whirling Bridge of Harmonia
Yasir grins, Aye, that's how we'll make our fortunes! Slaying evil, rescuing damsels and toting our gold home by the barrel-full! He claps the Ranger heartily on the shoulder. At the question of where-to next, the warrior peers about with a discerning eye. Two places I can see... One. he counts, pointing to the large hill in the center of town topped by a hexagonal stone wall and an even taller tower peeking up from within. Or two. This time Yasir points to the Northeast edge of the cliffs bordering town. There is a large parade-ground there surrounded by small support buildings of an apparently military nature. Something unusual at the base of the cliff catches Artanis' eye...

Having all of the attention directed at him/the group Pyros will stand behind the halfling pretending to be innocent.

"Of course." Mira makes a dramatic gesture with her hand. "Are any of the tutors here today? Or would you know where I might find them?" She asks the young woman.

"You recognise who I am?" She almost bites her fist at that, what a stupid thing to say. "I have an idea, and I need the tutors support, it... Might be good for you all."

She ignores the antics of the Kender for now, hoping Elsa can deal with it.

cross pats the kender on the back reassuringly

Cal, Cross, Elsa, Merrick, Mira and Pyros: Harmonic Hall
The young woman shakes her head. One of the teachers unlocked The Hall, but had to leave for something. They likely won't be back until just before dark to lock up again. I'm sorry Red Lady. Meanwhile Cross and Elsa do their best go keep Pyros obscured from the locals while Merrick cleans up the mess.

"Oh well. Could you say I was looking for them?" Smiling she looks around realising that she could be very happy here.. "I suppose you will tell me that Airand Lucroy isn't here either?" She asks, feeling that the whole idea was waste of time..

"I'll be at the Wayfarer this evening..." She adds turning back a moments. "If you would like to drop by? Oh.. Is there perhaps a organ player in the apprentices? I have a suggestion..."

The girl thinks for a moment. I haven't seen him, but he might be. Wasn't he great last night? I'd never have the courage to play in the festival... at least not yet. I will someday, though. Her voice gains confidence nearer the end. I don't know anyone here bow who does, but I guess there could be. She smiles and grows more animated when Mira invites her to the Wayfarer for her performance. Sure! That sounds like fun!

"You will in time." Mira explains. "You need confidence, I have an idea that might.. Help." Giving am open smile she turns on her heels. "I'll be there all night."

With that she moves to leave, going to the Toad.

Pyros will mimic Mira's exit.

Snagging a piece of the vase.

Cal, Cross, Elsa, Merrick, Mira and Pyros: The Loop
The group backtracks Northwest along The Loop, reaching the intersection in front of the Songstress. Just as they are about to turn, Elsa calls out Hey! There's Yas and Artanis! She points north towards the bridge, waving to them.

Artanis and Yasir: The Loop near the Whirling Bridge
While the men are deciding on a course of action, Yasir squints along the road and waves. I think the girls are over there by the inn...

"Wouldn't you know it." Mira comments with a smirk that covers her whole face. "Let's go say hello." Waving her left hand in the direction of the two men she strides forwards.

"Greetings strangers. And what brings you here?" Opening her arms she embraces Yasir and lightly kisses his lips. "We were just going to the Toad. Merrick has agreed to do a little scribe work for me."

"What did you learn?" She asks letting the warrior go, she glares at Pyros for a moment, letting him know that the incident was not forgotten.

Artanis was lost in thought as he considered what he had seen, including that unusual thing at the base of the cliff. In fact he doesn't notice the others approaching until Mira is embracing Yasir. Unusual for a ranger to be caught flat footed, but indeed he was. "Oh! Well...um...it would seem you have found someone to help you spend the king's treasure, Yasir. And probably faster than Pyros could lift it."

"Kings Treasure?" Mira asks with a curious glance.

Cal perks up at the mention of treasure. "The way I see it, magic is a tool. Like a sword, anyone with the skill to use it can, but they command it. Magic... was my ticket out of poverty."

Yasir returns the bard's embrace and kisses her back a little stronger than she did before whispering something to her. The powerful warrior lets out a full-throated laugh as the conversation turns to treasure. He very nearly strikes a pose, one aarm about Mira's shoulders and his voice takes on a resonant quality. Yes, my friends. More than we could spend in a hundred lifetimes! Of course, we'll have to hire someone to carry it for us even... he grins broadly as he sets the stage ij the minds of his audience. These people have this town walled up tight with guards and towers and catapults. Obviously they're cowering from the terrors nearby somewhere. He pauses briefly to let the suspense build. All we do is wait for whatever it is to strike, follow it back to wherever it's yellow hide hides, and... he pats his sword hilt.
