[BlueWizard]

Kerafin nods to the arrangement, she is still speechless as you ascend the stairs near the mists of the waterfall. This is from one who has grown up in a palace.

Zelina nods mysteriously.

[wxdruid]

Arha

Satisfied, Arha turns back to their guide. This is turning out well and she's looking forward to a bit of fun before they determine what they'll do next. That's the sticking point. How to get this done. She'll wait til they're all cleaned up and after dinner to bring it up though.

[DarkLadyOfTheSith]

Sharon

Sharon looks around with interest, but not the awe that Kerafin has. Despite her farmer upbringing, she's been in enough fancy places to not be stunned by it-- even if it's better than many places she's been. "Zelina, I don't suppose that this Blue Wizard person would be willing to enchant one or two things for me? Or perhaps have magical items available to sell? The old one, I mean, since I figure the young one probably doesn't know enough yet."

[AmberVael]

Valdis

"Just an individual room for me. Perhaps you could show me what ones you have available after the others are settled? I don't want to delay them their comforts for the sake of my picky nature."
Valdis smiles politely over at the other two ladies. She was far more resistant to the heat and exertion, after all, and was suffering less than they.

[Maurkov]

((They still have the benefit of Hiram's Endure Elements from last night.))

Hiram

"Single occupancy, with a large bed and an antechamber for my minion," he says, indicating the lizardman.

"Sharon, if the Blue Wizard is unavailable, I believe we could ask the Lady of the Realm. She is a wizard in her own right, and likely has a cadre of crafty spellcasters in her service."

[AmberVael]

((They still have the benefit of Hiram's Endure Elements from last night.))

((Yes, but before then they trekked everywhere without it. Valdis, meanwhile, has had her own innate protection the entire time. ))

Valdis

"I believe we're aware, Hiram, as it is why I directed us to this place to begin with..."
Valdis says, raising an eyebrow at him.

[BlueWizard]

Zelina to Sharon as the group ascends the great blue stair. "The Blue Wizard once made 'deals', unfortunately that one is no longer around. We do have a fine magic shoppe and team of wizards that are a part of our wizard's staff. We would gladly look into finding or building things you might need..."

To Valdis she smirks, "I have just the room for you."

Hearing Hiram talk she nods, "Ah... you must mean Lady Serapi. She is one of our most tenured employees." She sizes up the lizard-man and smirks. "This one is well known to the imperials, I'm not sure I'd trust him." Milgarza bears his teeth in annoyance.

He looks to Hiram, "Not true, milord. My true service is for your council."

Everything is blue-themed, trimmed with white, silver, or gold. In the most lavish expensive way possible, even the crowns on pillars and walls. All were intricately carved. From the curtains, to the fabric of the furniture, and the shades of blue were many!

Zelina will lead you to two sliding doors that open on your approach.
She enters and expects you all to crowd into the tiny room. On a panel in the wall is a keypad and tiny screen. Zelina pushes the buttons, you will feel odd once the doors shut. Arha knows that you are traveling the planes in this device. "The old wizard called this an elevator. The nobles have these things to get around their massive palaces."

At certain points the doors will open in response to her keypad instructions, and all of you are given accommodations suited for your needs.

Valdis and Hiram are basically given the same room though themed for their tastes.{Feel free to add some effects to the room, even changing the color, this is epic magic and will sense the mood, other outfits even become available while within the planar Inn.}
There are windows in all the rooms, but the sight is bizarre and looks out to strange colorful planar, other-worldly sights. Hiram and Valdis have a large center living room area, with 2 doors one to a bedroom and the other to a full bathroom. Milgarza can snooze on the sofa in Hiram's living room. A servant is also available upon request.... for any reason.

Sharon, Kerafin, and Arha: Are given one of the more exotic rooms. This is a full apartment with an actual bath-hall, that is designed to hold up to 20 guests. There are a couple of rooms, as well as a large central bedroom with a massive bed for orgies. This bath-hall has a spa, steam room, and even comes with attractive servants. There are a young man and woman in blue robes here when Zelina shows them in.

Valdis is taken to her room after Hiram, and Zelina will slip Valdis a scroll. "Read it, when you are safe. It is word from the Guildmaster. There are eyes here, so just enjoy this place, and our protections." She says this in guild-speak, which includes noises and hand-gestures.

"One law we have," she adds before departing from all of you together as one. "Don't hurt the employees, or do anything that the empress might have a problem with..."

[AmberVael]

((I'm not entirely sure whether Zelina is telling Valdis that she should or shouldn't open the scroll while in the Inn- I'm going to assume she should, as protections were mentioned, and if not, we can assume this post never happened))

Valdis

"I don't think I'll have any problems with those rules."
Valdis says, acknowledging the guild speak only with a nod. Once she is safely locked and concealed within her room, she'll unfurl the scroll and read its contents carefully.

[amanodel]

Sonny retro

When he was told that he have to go, Sonny kept swearing for a couple of minutes, rambling about "idiotic bastards" and "half-wit ******s" in general.

Before leaving, he offered a hand to the party members, and gave a hug to Arha and Sharon. He really got attached to the two ladies. They really went through a lot together. The kisses are more staggering to him than a charging ogre would be, but he tries to act like he wasn't depressed by his departure. Maybe, hidden deep within the gorilla-like chest of his, there's a heart. Altough he wouldn't admit it, but it's one of the rare times that someone can find evidence of his heart, and that he, in fact, has feelings.

I understand that I have became a hindrance. You girls got so powerful that you actually have to worry about saving my sorry ass, and it was my job to look after you. But if you ever get into trouble, try to contact me. I don't care about guild business, but if someone tries to hurt you, I'll be teaching them a lesson, even if they are employed by the guild. I'll miss you, very much. Maybe I'll try to find Raven if I have the opportunity, he was a good guy.

[DarkLadyOfTheSith]

Sharon

Sharon smiles upon seeing the suite. Ignoring the servants, and not caring about the presence of her friends in this regard, she starts to disrobe as she approaches the baths, sinking slowly into a full tub and soaking. "Ah, luxury. This has to be my one of my favorite things about the strange turns my life has taken. Who'd've thought I'd live like this someday?" She grins at Arha and Kerafin from the depths of the tub-- easily large enough for all three. "Did you have anything like this at home, Kerafin?"

[wxdruid]

Arha

To Sonny: She assures him that if they ever need anything, they'll immediately get in contact. Arha hands him the box he once lived in while he was a ghost. "Keep it with you. It was once one of my treasured belongings and was kept close to my heart." She'll miss him dearly.

-------------------------------------------------------

In their expansive suite of rooms. Arha is quick to join Sharon in the tub. Shedding dirty clothing with every step of the way. She sinks in next to her and mmmm, so much better. She closes her eyes and enjoys the feeling of the water.

[AmberVael]

Valdis

Done reading the letter, Valdis goes to efficiently bathe and cleanse herself, then once she has completed that, relaxes on her bed for a while, thinking quietly to herself. She might relax in the bath, but honestly she knew too many ways to kill someone who is bathing to really be able to manage a relaxing bath when she was alone. No- one was too vulnerable in such a situation. Far better to relax elsewhere.

You're paranoid.
She thinks to herself.
Maybe you should take the chance to relax and enjoy yourself a little.
The thought makes her snort.
Last time I gave into urges I barely escaped getting accused as a murderer. Do I really need to indulge my instincts and baser desires?
She looks out of the window, examining the view and letting the alien landscape draw most of her attention.
I can't afford to stay tense, or I'll snap. Don't be an idiot, but sometimes you have to let go of things for a while.

Valdis turns the idea over in her head. It sounded reasonable... too much stress and pressure could be just as bad as slacking off. She was in a reasonably safe place with decadence all around her, so she might as well enjoy it. She wished she had more money though...
Her eyes light up. That's what she should do- sell some of those things she'd found on the job. She'd generate quite a bit of income from that. But later- she had a small stipend, and a purse of her own. For now, a bit of rest.

She spends a scant half an hour relaxing on her bed (she needs hardly any sleep due to her ring, after all), and then gets up, dresses herself neatly, and slowly begins to explore the inn. As all of her protective gear is built directly into her normal outfit, she doesn't even have to feel unprotected while she walks about.

[BlueWizard]

Ladies Room:
Kerafin enjoys the spa area and nods, "My mother and her family had the wealth, but they never lavished themselves with it. Our bath hall was so archaic compared to this style and flash."
She neatly will put her tarnished dragonscale on a platform, and slip into the large foamy bath with Sharon. The 2 servants will watch the three women undress.

Hiram's Room:
Milgarza looks about and shrugs, "It's okay."


Valdis Room:
Valdis has to pull a lever to call for the elevator. Zelina answers with a big grin when the sliding doors open, "Where can I take you?"

[AmberVael]

Valdis

"Why don't you tell me? I'm still unfamiliar with the place."
Says Valdis with an amused smile.
"I was planning to wander until something caught my interest..."

[DarkLadyOfTheSith]

Sharon

While bathing, Sharon looks over to the servants. "You wouldn't happen to have any chilled fruit juice around would you? That would be perfect right now." To Kerafin she adds, "Your parents sound very conservative in how they use their wealth. Does it just sit in a room somewhere?"

[Maurkov]

Hiram

Hiram releases Milgarza to find his own amusements. Then he tunes his room towards the austere. Satisfied, he summons servants. Some are dispatched on errands. Others assist him with his grooming. He takes care in cleaning up, but tries to finish before the ladies fall into bed again.

He appears at the ladies' appartment. From the main room he calls, "You're not decent, I hope?"

His hair is still damp, but combed. His beard is neatly trimmed, and he smells faintly of soap. He wears a blue robe or toga provided by the establishment, and he carries a bottle and a bouquet of bright yellow flowers.

[BlueWizard]

{OOC- Some of this may get out of sync timewise, but that is okay.}

Valdis in Elevator:
Zelina hits a few buttons on the control panel, and Valdis feels that funny movement in the elevator again. "There are many places to go. We have a circus troop that will be performing a Light and Magic show later on the stage. Then we always have various bardic talents... some are for sale for the night. If games of chance are your thing, then I must say check out the casino. Here at the Carmen Isle branch, you've got to enjoy the tropical pools. Many of our handsome men and beautiful ladies hang out there in their off hours. Your destination is up to you. If you'd like to shoppe, we even have a little market place."


Hiram at the Ladies' Door:
Accessing the door will be a little more difficult in this odd planar Inn, however Zelina magically morphs all of your rooms so that they appear to be on the same floor with a hall and everything.

Milgarza will wander off to explore, and will meet Zelina as well, and heads off with her. Apparently, after she got back with Valdis.

In the Ladies Bath: {previous to Hiram's entrance}
"Right away, mam." The two 19 y-o's head over to a wall panel, and open a secret compartment with a mini-bar, with fresh fruit. They will mix-up a something like a pina-colada as well as alcoholic mango smoothies.

Kerafin thinks about her mother's wealth, and chuckles, "My father spends it. Most of it on this university for wizards, like we need more.... no offense Arha. I like some wizards. My mother gives all her gold to the dragons or elves or something. We're living in palaces that are older then dirt. I'm not even sure the great wizards of the realm know who built them. If we didn't have the old imperial castles, we'd probably be living in a tent." She seems to relax naturally in the bath.

[AmberVael]

Valdis

"Actually, a market place might be handy."
She wanted to relax, but hey, if they have a market place built right in...
"Is there any particular theme to it, or does it have a little of everything?"

[DarkLadyOfTheSith]

Sharon

Sharon was about to respond to Kerafin with more questions when she hears Hiram barge in. A look of annoyance flutters across her face briefly before being replaced with a mischievous grin. She slips out of the tub with a wink to her two friends and wraps a robe around her-- the material of the garment combined with the water on her skin doesn't leave much to the imagination as she grabs one of the drinks prepared by the servants and saunters into the front room. "Did you need something? Some sort of problem, or is this a social call?"

[wxdruid]

Arha

"No offense taken Kerafin."

When Hiram calls out, she looks toward the main room. When Sharon gets up, Arha relaxes again in the bath. Sharon is more than capable of making things entertaining. She keeps one ear on the goings on in the main room while she gestures to the servant to bring one of the drinks over. Once she has it, she sips it and smiles at Kerafin. "A university for wizards? Are there many there? What do they teach? Anything interesting?"

[BlueWizard]

Lady's Room:
Hiram will have to be allowed into the main room, but his voice and knock come through the wall.

Kerafin nods to Arha, "There are many. My father has a wizard army... though most of them suck.


Valdis to the Market:
Zelina hits a few more buttons, "It has just about anything, and if they don't have it, there is a gnome who'll help you find it."

The elevator doors open to a great casino chamber. Over a hundred exotic guests play at the many tables and games. There is a hall of shopping on the far-side of this.

[AmberVael]

Valdis

"Thank you, Zelina."
She says with a smile before striding off directly towards the marketplace, keeping an eye on her purse and belongings as she passes through the casino section as quick as possible. Gambling didn't interest her.
Once in the marketplace, she'll beginning look for a place to sell a few magical and valuable items.

Spoiler

Show

I figure she can look around, try and find the best area to sell things. Should I just assume half price, or should we go a bit more into detail?

[DarkLadyOfTheSith]

Sharon will allow Hiram to enter the main room.

[wxdruid]

Arha

She's curious now. A wizard university? but they all suck? "Do you mean literally or figuratively? What do they do? Forget to study? Or are all the spells useless?" She languidly stretches in the warm water, feeling the knots in her muscles loosen and relax.

[Maurkov]

Hiram

"There's no danger," he says. "If I am too early, I will wait."

He sets the flowers on a side table, and taking one from the arrangement, hands it to Sharon.

[DarkLadyOfTheSith]

Sharon

Although she has a pretty good idea, Sharon feigns ignorance. "Too early for what, exactly?" She sniffs the flower given to her, almost half-suspecting some sort of charm infused in it.

[BlueWizard]

Valdis to Market:
Zelina bows respectfully, and steps back into the elevator's doors.
The Market is quaint, with what might be called mom n' pop shoppes. Old wizards, to young apprentices are here. Valdis even sees a dwarven blacksmith and elven silversmith among the many vendors.

There is a gnome wizard fellow who appears before her, and offers to buy her stuff. He has a small shop, that actually just consists of a tiny garage with cardboard boxes, he'll offer to buy her magic items with gems at half price. He also says he can get some 'good' stuff for the right price.


In the Spa with Arha:
Kerafin watches Sharon go, Arha could tell her crush was on the sorceress.
She chuckles looking back at Arha, "They're stupid. As long as you can read magic, you're in. I hear the professor on Charm Person has never been able to cast anything more powerful, but he can do it all day long."

Sharon and Hiram in the Central Room:
Sharon and Arha's apartment is a perfect blend for the two ladies, and the exterior view shifts to a beach scene in the tropics, it looks similar to your surroundings on Port Carmen.
By this point both of these two will realize that they are not home any more. This is another plane, and the more they realize that the more ability you have to 'will' yourself about the space.

OOC- I noticed the most recent giant update, and decided to make the move now. Here is the link to Myth-weavers. Perhaps a mini-description of your PC. You can be where you'd like, but you will find out that this place is much bigger than you might've thought.
