(Greetings All,

Here's my reply)

Passing through a tall archway I’m stopped by an object fluttering before my eyes, it was a silver pendant held by a shining chain that Nick held out to me. Opening my hand the trinket is dropped into my palm while Nick clutched another set. “Curious aren’t they?” I turned the object over in my hand, the design seemed normal to my eye just a silver disk but it felt odd. Digging deeper I found my answer. “It doesn’t have an Aura! How does that work?” My friend grinned and giggled gleefully, giving a shrug. “I don’t know Vels. Hmm sometimes I like not knowing, it happens so rarely and keeps the mind sharp.” Nodding I glanced at the pendant before handing it back to Nick who set them on a table as we had no real need for them. “I’m glad to see you’re excited.” Strolling by the Grizzly from earlier I wave at her, the poor girl was looking at the two of us with increasing bewilderment. I guess we were sort of strange.

The thought passed in a second though as we entered the main floor of the fortress. It was massive with all sorts of Mamono and Incubi wandering around the place. Huge tables littered with any sort of food imaginable were set in rows along the length of the room and a long bar sat in the far corner. “Let’s see what we can find out about the event.” Gently moving through the crowd I made my way to the bar with Nick trailing behind. A pair of Kikimoras and a Satyros was tending to the customers from behind the bar. “Hi, could any of you tell me when and where the event starts?” A wave from the Satyros assured me that I was next in line. Smiling in thanks I turn to stare at the people around us. The room had multiple levels rising into the air and everything looked free and uncoordinated, as a party should. But the glimmer of metal against torchlight showed that we were under the watch of a guard. A faint but unique buzz from one of the higher levels let me know it was a Hornet. While a soft thudding told me she was holding a crossbow that hadn’t been waxed for a while. “Hey Nick we’re being watched.” A soft smile played across his features and he tapped the rim of the bar several times. “I noticed that as well. For the moment I’m rather disconcerted by the large Manticore in the grey and blue military uniform. She hasn’t taken her eyes off us since we entered.” He flicked his eyes towards a table on the far left of the area.

(I am trying to keep the responses small but do tell me if I need to shrink a tad more. Also Flame just point my characters in a direction and let loose I'm up for anything.

Cheers,

The Weary TimeLord.)
