Re: [Nexus] Delmah Phor
[Xar'Cha Palace-With Magtok]
Inala smiles politely, the way she was trained to smile when cutting deals with people. It's quite similar to the way some sociopaths smile when they cut throats, really.
"I ask for very little. Just the assurance that you remember this favor from us. After all, I'm sure someone else could have gotten your good here somehow..." The implication is clear. She wants Magtok in her debt, and is willing to go far to get it.
"Do we have a deal?"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Xar'Cha Palace-with Sorn]
Asim takes a drink from his glass before responding.
"Let's hope it doesn't go that long then. Call me selfish, but since I manage the warehouse all increased tariffs would mean is more people trying to steal goods. That means I'd have to hire more guards, set up extra shifts and more men to work said shifts. Busy work that takes time away from my studies. No thanks." Asim takes another drink and leans forward slightly, speaking in a hushed and yet very excited tone.
"Speaking of studying, have I mentioned I think I've come up with a new variation on the Gate spell?"

"I will be certain to explain everything." Sszinyon promises his sister. "In a less public forum."
Sornnolu raises an eyebrow at Asim. The other drow had his full attention now. "Really? How fascinating. Please, explain." Sornnolu was happy to discuss the minutia of magic all day, and new spells were so exciting! Imagine the possibilities!~Amor Vincit Omnia~I have a Youtube Channel

Re: [Nexus] Delmah Phor
Ah curt greetings. Not too surprising, really. Could be due in equal parts to being surrounded by drow, just being that way, or the prospect of conversation.
The drow gives a brief bow and makes a vague gesture to the surrounding party.
"In a sea of familiar faces, I find myself interested in the new one before me. A friend of the hosts?""Fear and creativity are conjoined twins."

"Thank you." There is only the slightest hesitatin in her words and gesture as she reaches to take the pendant. The dragon blooded drowess quickly slips the chain around her neck. Silently, she begged her own goddess for forgiveness, praying the pendant would help to allow her to blend in and kkep her safe while she was here.Last edited by Artemis97; 2012-09-29 at 02:52 PM.

Irzayle smiles again as she puts the pendant on. They see the how she puts a the pendant on as if it were red hot. But they also see that she is willing to do a lot to accomplish her goals. Yes, Aly'ithra will serve them well.
It suits you. Where shall we head next? You might have picked up from the street chatter that the Xar'cha are having a large formal party tonight. Perhaps a visit to your family?Still not really here. Still just an illusion.

Re: [Nexus] Delmah Phor

Asim has difficulty keeping the excitement in his voice under control.
"I think I've developed a method for casting one gate spell, but sending multiple targets to different planes. It works by taking the energy from multiple planes and coalescing them together. The only drawback is that I can't seem to get it to work without touching each subject."
The wizard seems to have been experimenting quite a bit with his favorite spell. Best not to know what he's been experimenting on.

Elvanriina curtsies to Goldbaka, but not her advisor, while privately thinking that she was not far off with her little mental nickname, "Elvanriina, Matron and Archmage of the clan Baenneld. I've heard much about Underside's ways and inhabitants, but all of it secondhand. Might I trouble you for some news from your people?"Julie, everyone's nth favorite succubus, by Gulaghar.

"I've heard." Aly'ithra says, "But I'm hardly dressed for a formal party... and I'm sure they're very busy right now, with all that. I mean... I do want to meet them, of course, but..." She falters. It was clear she was nervous about the whole idea. "Maybe another day?"
[Xar'Cha Palace]
"Curious." Sornnolu mutters, frowning in thought. "Normally one does not need to touch the subject... perhaps if you channeled the energy of the plane into your subject? Tying one to the other?" The Archmage suggests, politely ignoring his suspicion that Asim might be using his workers as test subjects.~Amor Vincit Omnia~I have a Youtube Channel

"Oh... umm..." Sadei fidgets a little. "My father is Raril. And Zee's my mother. She's-"
The girl glances about.
Huh...
Wasn't Zee here just a little while ago?
Must have gotten lost in the crowd.
Oh well.
"I'm not sure if father is going to be here or not. I didn't even know about the party until just a little while ago."Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

Re: [Nexus] Delmah Phor

Tebtranlyn groaned inwardly. The various guests just kept getting worse and worse. First the child Matron and then Sszinyon. Now fate was just being cruel to him. Of all the people that could have shown up his mother, his Mother, had to show up.
He rubbed the bridge of his nose as he quietly lamented. "Who's next? Raril? A leader of the surface elves? A behemoth?"

"That is different from my own order, then. We are given the tools, but we must use them in pursuit of good. The specifics do not matter so much as the outcome." Endrik looked to Sszy again, vaguely amused at how that whole thing had turned out. It still surprised him, sometimes.
"But I do not understand. You have an order, but no purpose to the order. That seems counterintuitive."I used to do LP's. Currently archived here:

Lanthil's gaze shifts to Kirk as he makes his comment.
"Not a fan of the Matron Mothers, are we?" She says wryly.
She looks at 'Alexis'.
"Most likely all other candidates met rather unexpected deaths. So sad, when one's life ends before its time. You can ask if you want, but drow politics is one murky area I rather would stay apart from."Last edited by Ashen Lilies; 2012-09-30 at 02:01 PM.

Kirk chuckles. "Let's just say I've had quite a bit of personal experience. Not that it matters anymore. I'm unattached you could say." And glad for it. Kirk has had his fill of drow politics many years ago.
The drow eyes his companion curiously. "I half expected you to know about the young Matron. Didn't you come from the same city as the rest of them?" A small smile curls the corners of his lips.

Re: [Nexus] Delmah Phor

Sadei nods and smiles.
"I don't get to really meet anyone from my Mother's side of the family. They're all very... unpleasant..."
That would be an understatement.
Most creatures related to the Old Ones are bad news pretty much without question. Even the starspawn puppet of 'Mister G' unnerves her. And Mother is keeping an eye on that one. Apparently it was part of some sort of deal to get her a new body to use on the material plane.

"Well, it's hard to compare since I haven't been outside the Enclave here yet." Ryldolin begins, thinking a bit. "The sun is a big thing. Everything's so bright and hot here. It hurts the eyes. And the buildings are a lot nicer back home. They're nice here, but they're nothing like what I'm used to. The places not made by drow are probably worse." Slight signs of distaste colour Ryldolin's every word. He's not sure he likes the surface all that much, but he hasn't been here long.

Re: [Nexus] Delmah Phor
"We're doing well," Goldbaka says. "Ever since we founded the Underside Colony, it has steadily grown. We've claimed and dug many new tunnels. We also seem to be undergoing a bit of a fashion revolution. Apparently, a visitor appeared in one of the hubs and before she retreated to the surface, she left behind a number of design that have spread among some strata of society."

Re: [Nexus] Delmah Phor

Sadei's eyes grow wide!
"You... you've never been outside of the city before?" the girl sounds positively shocked! "That's terrible... There are so many pretty places to see. My brother Ib'bahali has spent lots of time exploring the Nexus and writing about everything he's found. ...I kind of wish he was here... But he's been really busy helping some poor people who got stranded in the Nexus get home."
Isn't that nice of him?
"I can't imagine what a world without the sky would be like. Or a place that's dark all the time."
That sounds dreadful to her!
Then almost on a whim the girl turns her attention to... nowhere... and asks aloud, "Are you still following me, Raven?"
...
No answer.Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

"My sister Raven has been following me around all day," Sadei replies somewhat hesitantly. "I... think..."
Not too terribly certain.
Sadei waves an arm around and seems to find nothing.
"Usually hides a few steps sideways in time. And she isn't very... umm... sociable."
That sure is a polite way to put it!
A less polite way to put it would be to say that she's a grump. Which she kind of is.Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

"The Exalted were originally created by the gods to slay the Primordials," Shrike explains. "as the gods, having been created by the Primoridals, could not act against their creators. Once the Primordials were defeated, however, the Exaltations remained, choosing those who have done great things to become even greater. Essentially we are chosen to be Heroes, in the classical sense of the term."

Re: [Nexus] Delmah Phor

Sadei blinks.
Then giggles.
"Oh. Right. I guess since most of the people here haven't been in the Nexus for very long they don't know about Mother," the girl replies. Then suddenly looks very awkward. "Not that... not that there's anything wrong with that. I mean. There's nothing wrong with you not knowing or being new."
She seems very worried about hurting the feelings of others. Not at all a normal drow female, that's for sure.
"Maybe I could just show you?"
And with that she sticks her tongue out of her mouth slightly and begins looking for a suitable place to get a grip on... nothing. It looks almost as if she's sticking her hand under a piece of fabric with the image of what's behind her drawn onto it in perfect detail.
"See? Raven is the only one who can slip out of the world completely. She's always using that to cheat at hide and seek..."Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

Re: [Nexus] Delmah Phor
Market Street
Under dressed? Well, it would be easy to acquire suitable clothing. We are in a market, after all. Besides, it is always best to strike when your target is most overwhelmed, both in combat and diplomatically. If you have any fear of rejection, during a party with many honoured guests attending is the safest time to step forward. It forces their hand in welcoming you back, lest they appear callused towards their own kin.
They smile as comfortingly as they can. It should look convincing, they have practiced the look often.
But of course, if you are not ready, don't let me force you into stepping forward. There is still much of the city left to see. Perhaps a visit to the Temple where we might make a more fitting offering to Lolth?Still not really here. Still just an illusion.

"No, you're right." Aly'ithra is quick to say. "This is the perfect opportunity! I think I see someone selling clothes over there."

Re: [Nexus] Delmah Phor
Market Street
Irzayle follows behind, happy to have persuaded the girl. They approach the stall and look through the clothing. It is hardly high style, but Aly'ithra will be carried mostly by her relation to the party hosts anyways. As for Irzayle, their clothing beneath the ragged cloak is rather fine to begin with.
Pick whatever you want. I might not have much money on me, but it is more than enough to afford this purchase.
They turn to the stall owner, once Aly'ithra is busy picking out clothes, and mutter a few words under their breath, waving their hand gently. The seller's eyes glaze slightly and Irzayle hands over a handful of coins. Not nearly enough to cover the cost, but the seller doesn't seem to notice as they pocket the coins.Still not really here. Still just an illusion.
