SpoilerThe goliath frowns. "I am being respectful to you now because I can see that you are a leader to the rest of the children. But you continue to push my patience, and I have no tolerance for the games of those who think themselves to have power. You do know where she is, and you will tell me."

Daeric doesn't know what to make of the bang...
could be dangerous
Daeric gestures toward the interior, and a thin dark form (his shadow) separates from his body and slips under the door.
SpoilerShadow's hide (1d20+11)[23] (no need for a move silently check on his behalf- he's entirely silent). He'll stick to the dark corners of the shop and simply listen and watch. If he notices something worthy of communicating to his master, he'll return to Daeric.Last edited by Chrono22; 2010-06-03 at 05:33 AM.

SpoilerMy shadow can read/write the languages I know- he simply can't speak them. Daeric doesn't have a pen or paper handy, but lacking that the shadow could simply draw the letters in the soil.
Does Daeric feel a sense of urgency through the empathic link?Last edited by Chrono22; 2010-06-03 at 05:38 AM.

Re: (IC) Murder of Crows
The Naked Deal
Spoiler
Daeric uses the disguise self ability granted by soul-binding Naberius to change his appearance: his body shortens, his waste expands, and the proportions of his head, eyes, and nose become larger. In a few moments, an unusually tall gnome in scarlet red robes is standing in the space the sly human previously occupied. His head is mostly bald, with what little hair left being part of a vertical spike in the middle of his cranium. He's wearing a monocle on his left eye. Daeric ceases to hide, and appears in his new disguise next to Emily.
SpoilerDisguise check (1d20+14)[30]
"Well, apprentice, let us enter. Those alchemical objects I desire shan't purchase themselves."
Hopefully she'll recognize his voice .

Re: (IC) Murder of Crows

SpoilerAs the door opens, you indeed see the room is full of smoke. Daeric feels something bump into his leg, looking down, finds out it's a small gray jar. You hear a weak buzz, and then someone coughs as the female speaks up "fan out."
From above, again a buzz is heard, stronger than the first, and the smoke quickly disperse. Neva slams a small iron rod to the ground and looks at a man, angrily. "Do it again and I'll kill you!"

SpoilerOsidi jerks his head to look at the woman. "Who? Natalie? Is it? One of her girls, maybe? Maybe. Should look into it. Should, yes." Osidi digs into his backpack's pockets and pulls out two gold coins and two silver coins which he places in a very neat stack in the beggar's cup, "Thanks for help. But should go, should go."
Osidi makes a clicking sound to get Dog's attention and points to the anxious woman before he jogs off in her direction himself.Hall of Honor:

My name is Valentinez Alkalinella Xifax Sicidabohertz Gombigobilla Blue Stradivari Talentrent Pierre Andri Charton-Haymoss Ivanovici Baldeus George Doitzel Kaiser III."

"I'm a collector of quality objects- ever since my parents passed away (Garl's blessing be upon them) I've been the retainer of their fortune. Whenever something piques my interest, I can't help but immerse myself entirely in it." He shakes the money pouch at his waste absentmindedly.
"Today, the subject of my obsessions is alchemy and clockwork. Such objects are a fancy to any gnome- I must know how they work! As it happens, " he says, as he looks around the room "I am looking for objects that create smoke. Smokesticks were what I had in mind, but if you have something else...

Re: (IC) Murder of Crows

SpoilerNeva raises an eyebrow as you speak your name, and listens to what you say, but before she manages to answer you, the man speaks up.
"Oh! I'm your man! I have found a way to conjure smoke instantly. It looks like magic, but completely mundane, and much faster and easier to start than a little smokestick. Let me show you" he raises his arms but freezes as Neva looks at him "Do it, and that's the last time those hands of yours rise."
He lowers his hands as Neva turns to you "I have smokesticks, also some powders that react as soon as they contact air, in some bags that tear really easily. I could get something more specialized for you, if you make a special order, that is."
A cat lands on the desk in front of Neva, apperantly from a large rotating blade thingie (a modern fan) on the ceiling. It starts playing with the little rod in front of Neva, the one she slammed earlier, and it opens up to reveal another mini fan that instantly turns on and starts chipping at the wooden table, which Neva quickly turns off.
