Act 1, Scene 1: "Together in Harmony" (Game Thread)

[TristenC]

Elsa, Merrick, Mira and Yasir: Wayfarer's Rest
Merrick smiles slyly at the bard's comment. Come now, surely you knew after playing so frequently and so well that you were among the more talented performers in the area? I suppose you didn't get much of a feel for the others outside of the Harmonic Hall since you were usually performing rather than attending shows... the half-elf concludes as they draw nearer.

Wow! That's so great Mira! Elsa says excitedly. I feel fancy walking around with a famous talent. she laughs as she squeezes Mira's hand gently.

Shall we listen from the green? We can use my cloak and sit on the grass. If we go back to the benches we may have to pay again, but either way is fine with me. The often reserved Merrick seems to be opening up gradually the more he is exposed to good music.


Artanis, Cal, Cross and Pyros: Toad's Toe
From the sound of music flowing through the streets it appears to be coming from the far Eastern edge of town. Once Cross has Pyros' permission he stops and says a few magic words right there in the middle of the side street. The others watch as the Kender slowly fades from view, but to his own eyes he is still visible. A crash from nearby pulls the party's attention to a young couple. A woman looks askance at her companion, but the young man is white as a ghost and watching the party in utter shock. A broken bottle of red wine slowly bleeds its contents onto the ground. Apparently, despite being able to see himself, the Kender is quite invisible.

[OOC: Invisible Kender... may the gaming gods have mercy on Cross' soul for doing this to the world...
Ok Nocturno, let's see what mischief you can get up to! God help me, this is going to be a lot of secret rolls...]

[Jenara]

"Exactly.. I never had the time to actually realise. Ive worked my whole life just to keep going. Its a tough thing to stop." Mira comments as she moves to the green. "Yes let's sit here, and just enjoy the music." She grins at Merrick and sits down, patting the ground around her.

"I don't think I'm famous exactly, but it might help us if we go to Skald.. They might accept us more. I was thinking I'd ask Guilliam's wife if I could play there for a few days, and... I wonder, if I offered my spot to some of the Apprentices? Would that be frowned upon?" She asks with interest, leaning back on the ground.

[Nocturno]

"So when am I going to see this magic?" Once he understands what happened, the first thing Pyros is looking for is the group.

[OoC: Maybe he will see the group in a window but he will be missing? The best people to prank first are the ones we know!]

Artanis Auir

Artanis chuckles at Pyros now being invisible. THIS will be quite an interesting prank. The ranger then makes his way to the source of the music. He's beginning to get a feel for the layout of the town.

[Rivi]

crosses face cracks a huge grin at the spell and is relieved it worked being the first time testing out the spell "so whats the first thing an non-opaque kender dose"

[spyguy1503]

Cal grins "Goes looking for girls!" he exclaims.

Artanis Auir

"Then we shall make our way to the festival - I saw many a fine lass there earlier. Ah, if I could find a nice young lady here, that likes to go fishing, why I would not care a bit if I ever returned to the Realms." The ranger says with a broad smile.

[Nocturno]

"I wonder if the rest of us have gone to the music?" Everyone will hear a disembodied voice racing towards the music.

[spyguy1503]

"Let's do it!" Cal exclaims. He goes with the others.

Elsa, Merrick, Mira and Yasir: Wayfarer's Rest
Excellent choice, Merrick smiles, spreading his cloak on the ground for the girls. The four sit as near the amphitheatre as they can, but still some 30 yards away by this time. Dozens if not hundreds stand on the green farther back, watching approvingly as the music flows.

I'd say you have a good chance of her accepting you if she doesn't already have an obligation to another performer. I think the performers at inns are solely up to the innkeeper's discretion, but i'd wager any recommendation from you would carry a lot of weight with Guilliam after all the business you've given him. If you bring it to him I don't think anyone could get upset. Of course he would likely still have to hear the applicant, and payment would be negotiated between them obviously.


Artanis, Cal, Cross and Pyros: Toad's Toe
The invisible Kender rushes off towards the theater, and Artanis helps keep the other two on the right path since he is the only one of the visible three who knows exactly where they are going. It takes a little longer to reach the green since more of the population has turned out, most of them heading in the same direction.

For Cross and Cal the area is new and they see mansion of some type facing a park full of people with a fountain in the middle of the green. The music is quite obviously coming from beneath a large shell-shaped outcropping. Perhaps a dozen carts are arrayed by the side of the road selling food and drink. Hundreds of people stand and sit upon the field listening, and nearly as many more are seated in the tiered amphitheatre as well. Unfortunately they don't immediately see the rest of the group, but the bards red hair should be easy to spot with a little searching if they are already here.

[Ooc: Spyguy and Rivi, feel free to look in the party knowledge thread for the Amphitheatre entry, and some preliminary stuff about other large structures in town.]

[Nocturno]

Pyros will seek out the group with Mira and Elsa.

Once he spots them, he will tap Elsa on the should, from behind, then move in front of her and giggle.

[Rivi]

cross looks at all the food carts his mouth watering "man i could go for a snack"

[kerap]

Artanis Auir

Artanis grins at Cross and says: "They gladly accept our coppers and silvers. Just point to what you want, and they'll tell you how much. I can't speak a word of their language, but, as Yassar said, they understand the language of coins very well. Go ahead and get something. The wine is horrible though. I'll still be here - trying to find the others. Should be easy to spot Mira the redhead."

Artanis will look around for the rest of the group, specifically trying to spot Mira the Courtesan, er, I mean Mira the Bard.

[spyguy1503]

Cal purchases 2 ales, then helps Artanis look for the girls.

[Rivi]

cross goes from stall to stall buying one of each thing so he can try them all and share some with his friends only getting a water if he can get across he doesn't want to drink any kind of alcohol
