Rhotinia is tall and slim. Built of bone, sinew, and lean muscle. Her skin bears many scars (although rarely visible under her flowing robes) and is the color of hardened leather after many long years of travel under the relentless sun. She wears a hauberk of iron mail with silver gilding, and a mail coif decorated with silk veils and silver bangles. The armor, while once a work of art, has seen much use. It is still a fine piece, but the armor has many marks and scratches where the soft silver coating has been violently removed by attackers' blades. It's numerous leather fitments and patches are the clear signs of repair on top of repair. Over her hauberk she wears full length robes of silk (when in civilized company) or canvas (when on the road). Her silk robes are always of the finest quality.
Asgrim: Ma'am, I'm a simple Asgardian with a sword, but I'm fine with whatever the rest of the group decides on.
Bridgit brings out water and juice for everyone.
Bridgit: Is there anything else you will need before I start cleaning the upstairs room?
Volmalric: Much apreciated, Asgrim
Rhotinia: No dear, this is lovely. Thank you
Bridgit looks at Rhotinia.
Bridgit: Ma'am, will you be staying here? If so I will get a room ready for you. You could stay in the room Slumbara was staying in, but I'll need to use a lot of extra chlorine and bleach to sanitize it first.
Rhotinia: I will be staying at least until I have a chance to speak further with your sister
Rhotinia: I am hoping she really does know someone interested in this shipment of leather
Rhotinia chuckles politely
Bridgit: Okay ma'am. I'm sure Sophie will ... help you ... in some way.
Bridgit leaves.
REMINDER: Rhiveth: The tome I seek is much newer than this, and in form, probably more of a large wrapped scroll than a bound book. It will be written in Acheronian, as it is not original, but a well created copy.
REMINDER: Argala: I'm looking specifically for a book, an old one, the kind of thing people would pick up thinking it is valuable. The right book is very valuable to me.

Meltam used a Fortune point to restore their Resolve to max.
Meltam mumbles under his breath and then begins shaking uncontrollably and blood pours from his ears, nose, and running out of his tear ducts. He makes whimpering noises for several minutes before recovering his composure.
Rhotinia: Oh my, you don't seem well
Asgrim: By Thor's swollen left testicle man! What in Hel's name are you doing to yourself?

Bridgit sighs.
Volmalric: Meltam? For the sake...

Bridgit begins boarding up the windows and making sure all the fragile goods are secured.

Rhiveth: Hello again, Meltam, why are you endangering your life to bring me here?
Meltam shoots a glance at Volmalric
Meltam: What, you didnt' want to enjoy a lovely afternoon among the people?
Meltam: Surely, the brisk ocean town must be a welcome change of sight for you, my lade.
Rhiveth: I do miss walks by the sea, Meltam.

Kazemi:
[1d20.8 = 8]
The other eight patrons of the Whisper Wood, torn between concern over whatever blood-floowing epileptic seizure Meltam has, and terror over the fact that a glowing blue ghost has just entered the building, seem frozen in terror and incapable of making any sort of decision other than, "I hope I'm not going to die in the next five minutes",
Rhotinia: Pleased to meet you my lady, Yuz-Bashi Rhotinia of the house Alitius of Ophir
Rhotinia bows respectfully

Rhiveth bows respectfully in return.
Rhiveth: I am Princess Rhiveth kal'Norshar of the Royal House of Lemuria, I am honored to meet you, Yuz-Bashi Rhotinia of the house of Alitius of Ophir.
Volmalric (Quietly): I'm under the impression that there are a great many ancient books from a great many ancient tombs, probably available to us soon. Is there a symbol or author to look out for with the scrolls we're after?
Volmalric gets out a sheet of paper from his notebook, a quill and ink next to it.
Volmalric rolls a Lore test:
Target: 12 Focus: 2 Difficulty: 1 Complications: 0 Successes: 1 Momentum: 0 [1d20.11+1d20.13 = 24]
You did succeed!
Rhotinia: An honor, my lady
Rhiveth looks at Volmalric.
Rhiveth: You are looking for this symbol, in either of these forms.
Rhiveth uses her finger to "sketch" what the rune would look like on the table (you will need to copy it to a notebook, it is not like she is branding something on the table.)
Volmalric sketches it onto his page

Volmalric stashes his page into his haversack, keeping it on his person as he attends to the immediate blood problem and helps minimize mess in the establishment
Volmalric: That would have been better done upstairs or after hours
Meltam: Zero fun, goody-two shoes Mitra-lover.
Meltam coughs profusely
Rhiveth: Fare thee well, my friends.
Rhiveth vanishes as Meltam drops the spell.
Rhotinia returns a few minutes later with an older gentleman carrying a medicine pouch
Rhotinia: This is the one Adolphus, he was bleeding from his nose and eyes
Adolphus spots Meltam and Volmalric.
Rhotinia: Is there anything you can give him? Perhaps something to make him smarter?
Adolphus: I don't think I have anything strong enough to help with that problem, your ladyship. But I will see what I can do for him.
Volmalric: Oh, hello again
Adolphus: Oh, hello again.
Meltam: Hi there!
GM: General Kenobi is not amused.

Adolphus:
[1d20.13 = 13]
Meltam: I feel amazing!
Meltam: How can I ever thank you for this!
Adolphus and Volmalric combine efforts (and a lot of healing supplies) to restore Meltam to a semblance of health and functional life.
Asgrim drinks a couple beers while watching the festivities.
Bridgit comes back from cleaning the rooms upstairs and begins applying bleach to all the blood Meltam leaked all over.
Adolphus looks at Rhotinia.
Adolphus: Thank you for bringing me over, as always, I am happy to help you out. Anything else I can do for you, your ladyship?
Rhotinia: No, thank you again. And there's no need for the formality old friend. This isn't Ophir after all.
Rhotinia pats Adolphus on the shoulder and lets out a chuckle
Adolphus smiles in return and picks up his supplies and leaves.
Volmalric: Actually, if you'd like to stay for a moment
Meltam rolls a Stealth test:
Target: 14 Focus: 3 Difficulty: 1 Complications: 0 Successes: 0 Momentum: 0 [1d20.16+1d20.18 = 34]
You did not succeed.
Volmalric: Or at least I would be, Meltam might need to lay down and reconsider the decisions which have led him here
Meltam tries to sneakily move from one chair to the other while doing the "macho-man" strut... only to trip and almost fall on his face. He staggers to one side, pitches over, and grabs on to Bridgit's breasts AGAIN to steady himself in the face of his sudden vertigo.
Bridgit: EEK!
Bridgit slaps and kicks him, then runs away.
Rhotinia walks over to Meltam
Asgrim: As often as you do that, you should consider giving her a bigger tip.
Asgrim: Or tipping her over and just getting it out of your system, one of the two.
Meltam smirks.
Rhotinia: I don't know how mothers raise their sons in Bossonia, but someone ought to tell you that you have to ask before you touch a woman
Meltam: Yes, Rhotinia?
Meltam: Well....um...

Meltam: Very well. Bossians are a harsh and brutal race, fundamentally incompatible with any sort of civilization.
Meltam: I shall strive to be a gentleman.
Rhotinia: It's a good thing I came here when I did, you are in dire need of tutelage
Asgrim: Damn man! Have a beer with us low-lying Asgardians and let's get down and dirty with the native women!
Asgrim cheers.
Asgrim looks at Rhotinia.
Asgrim: Don't mind me, I mostly keep my mouth shut and don't grab women outside of certain establishments.
Meltam ponders this strange dichotomy for a moment.
Rhotinia makes a dismissive gesture at Asgrim
Rhotinia: I served in the Caliph's cavalry for 8 years young man, I know how to deal with handsy men

Meltam: Ya know. I think I'm going to go get plastered with the Asguardian.

Rhotinia: Have fun, and remember: ask before you touch

Meltam isn't suspicious at all. Infact, you can't tell him from a standard louse at a bar.
Bridgit can, and you are cut off from alcohol, you filthy pervert.
Asgrim: Come on man, there's a bar down by the docks with all sorts of loose women and gambling tables.
Meltam follows Asgrim
Rhotinia turns to Volmalric
Rhotinia: While they are out, perhaps we should see what we can find out about that symbol
Asgrim: Just the thing for making the day better and getting involved in bar fights, plus you can summon demons for the Fight Club we don't talk about!
Rhotinia: I love a good mystery
Asgrim and Meltam leave the bar in search of things that will probably cause the town constabulary to torch a district.
Meltam: Ahem, first rule?
Asgrim: Don't put your pecker in something that is likely to bite it off?
Rhotinia: I know someone in town who has quite a well stocked library

Rhotinia leads Volmalric through the streets and past the dock houses of the port to an imposing villa perched atop a tall hill on the outskirts of town. Armed guards man the walls, and the large bronze gates.
Rhotinia: Wait here a moment, I will go and speak with him and see if he will agree to help. His library has quite a collection of texts on Acheronia, and one of his scholars may be able to help if we are lucky
Rhotinia rolls a Persuade test:

Volmalric Makes notes of the location and nods
Rhotinia walks through the gate after a brief discussion with the guards. Nearly an hour passes before she returns to retrieve Volmalric
Rhotinia: Good news, he'll allow us access to his library. I don't know if any of his scholars are in today, but we will soon find out
Volmalric: Excellent! This should provide a good source of reference, I appreciate the assistance in the search here
Rhotinia and Volmalric follow a guard through the courtyard and into an annex of the villa where they find an ornate and very well stocked library

Volmalric finds a few interesting treatises on "naked demonic tentacle creatures" and spends the afternoon wondering if he should leave his scholarly ambitions behind to begin drawing hentai for an animation studio.
Volmalric: Maybe this explains why Rhiveth needs the tome, hmmmmm...
