The Nexus

[Weapons Stall] The smith looks Fade up and down. He wants armor too? Well alright, she thinks to herself. "I can do anything from simple bracers to a full suit of plate. The more elaborate, the more time it will take. Especially if you want chain or scale mail." She explains. Over with T...

Weird William's Vastr gives the mermaid a thumb's up and goes back to his rum. The cheese-eaters turn to look at Sanaa as she approaches, the gambling stopping dead. "Yes, yes I would. May I see them?" He pulls a jewellers loupe out and a set of scales, though Sanaa might note that the we...

Weird William's The meat is pretty fresh. It's also raw, and quite cold; it's been kept in a fridge, though a seperate one to the cooked meat at least. Should probably have been on a seperate plate, too. It's a bone for a dog, wolf, or werewolf; not really a human. "Uhh... yeah. Try not to loo...

[Weird William's] "Ah, I'm sure I'll find something. It's just a tub of sea water, basically. I can't stay dry for too long or I start getting weak." Sanaa explains. She starts to gnaw at the meat on her bone, as it was pretty fresh, but pauses mid-chew when she spots the roaches. She put...

[Weird William's] Sanaa takes a bite out of the pork pie and chews thoughtfully. Walrus shifter, explains the long dives, but no hands to get things from down below. As for the job, a one time deal, unless poor Vastr had a real string of bad luck. Still, it would get her established here, and pay f...

Weird William's "Yep, I'm Vastr. And I do. My boat sank about three miles downstream from the city. I had to swim all the way here. Not much of a boat, really; it were a trading barge. It's down quite deep; you breathe underwater? I can't, so I'm limited to ten minutes at a time." That's ...

[Weapons Stall]

"No, just weapons and armor. I'm a blacksmith, not a wizard." The smith replies.

[Market Street] Aly'ithra giggles. "Just be careful whose roof you sit on. They're a bit paranoid when it comes to security around her." She jerks her chin towards the guard that was escorting her. He narrows his eyes and frowns. [Weapons Stall] "Mithril is silvery, almost white. Lik...

[Weird William's] While her order's being prepared, the mermaid will approach the sailor. "Hello, ah, Vastr, is it? The waitress said you might have some work for someone like me. Underwater salvaging, specifically." The waitress gets an odd look. Something wasn't right there. Did they no...

[Weird William's] "I'll try the sunset sasp..sassa... Well I don't know what it is, but if you recommended it, it's got to be worth trying." The mermaid decides. "And a pork pie. Don't often get pork." She wasn't sure how one was supposed to eat a bone, however. "And I'll t...

Weird William's There's plenty of tables, though all of them are grimy with peeling varnish and sticky beer stains. There's also other people in the bar; a group of suspicious-looking men and women wearing pinstriped suits and fedoras are gambling in the corner, some rather large amounts of cash cr...

[Weird William's] A woman walks into the bar and takes a look around. She's not the usual terrestrial sort of woman. While her skin is coppery, her hair is a deep blue almost black, and two curving, iridescent horns grow from her forehead. She wears leather armor, seemingly made from a thick scaley...

[Temple of Lolth] "Our networks are larger, and we have expanded to fill the space we were allotted. We need more room, basically." The priestess says. At the next question, she gives the drider an odd look. "Why would the Spider Queen want to worshipped by anyone but Drow?" [Pa...

[Market Street]

"Yeah... it's a bit unsettling there." Aly'ithra agrees.

[Panic! at the Enclave]

One of the guards turns to face Eun a scowl on her face. The noblewoman glances her way, looking down her nose at the human.

"What do you want?" Asks the guard woman roughly.

[Market Street] Perhaps surprisingly, Jack might've gotten really close to the palace from the sky. Trying to keep every bird or beast out is impossible. There's wards, but due to her nature as a bird, she would've slipped right past them. "Oh I've seen it from the sky too! Not as impressive, ...

At a juncture of the Slums and the Docks is a large converted warehouse space known as the Black Dragon's Den. It's been rebuilt a few times, the most recent construction making the exterior out of solid brick. Inside is a welcoming atmosphere, heavy with the scent of alcohol, pipe smoke, and a hint...

[Panic! at the Enclave] Eun finds herself alone in a dark alley in a strange and dangerous part of the Nexus, as Landon and Sszinyon slip away into the crowd. She might be able to catch up to them, or get help if she shouts. [Weapons Stall] "If you want to be thematic, we can do a thundering a...

[Panic! At the Enclave] Sszinyon narrows his eyes at Eun, then slowly shrugs. "If you insist, then I will do nothing for you." He looks to his son. "Come, Landon, we should collect your blades from the blacksmith." The drow turns to leave. "Oh right!" Landon agrees. &q...

[Weapons Stall] The blacksmith peers at Fade, her beady eyes narrowed. "Fine, half now, half upon completion. If you clash swords so much, do you want a swordbreaker put in? Or just a straight edged blade on both sides?" A sword breaker was a notch put in at the base of a blade designed t...

[Weapons Stall]

The clerk's eyes go wide at the diamond. "Well that's certainly a start. We'll have to authenticate it, of course, but that would buy you one of those katanas we have for sale over there, but you want something custom? something better?"

[Panic! at the Enclave] "Oh was that at Trog's Tavern? I hear that place is crazy sometimes. We don't live in the city proper, so I don't get to go there. Or my uncle's bar, either." "It is dangerous, my son." Sszinyon sighs. "More dangerous than the Enclave?" Landon q...

[Panic! at the Enclave] "Of course!" Landon says, smiling and revealing sharply pointed canines. "Father thought it would be a good chance for me to experience Drow culture." "Unfortunately it pales in comparison to the festivities that are certainly being held at home in M...

[Weapon Stall] "That's great to hear!" Taos exclaims. She thinks for a moment, and says "Maybe you could let me see the work as you're doing it? I'll try not to do anything distracting." "That could be arranged. To be honest the Mistress loves to show off her skills. It all...

[Temple]

A priestess approaches Roth. She's young, and does not bear the markings of a full priestess, but she is curious and, of course, ambitious.

"Greetings, Sister Szarkai." She said in drow.

[Panic! at the Enclave] Sszinyon's ears twitch slightly and his gaze shifts to the hotbox. What was that sound? He distrusted most electronics. When Eun asks to be released he immediately does so. "Of course." Presuming she doesn't run off immediately, there's a bit of awkward silence bef...

[Raril's Bedroom] "Gone." Raril confirms. "Killed by Danube in a coup I helped orchestrate, not long after you... disappeared." He explains. "Her time was over, and Danube chose the time to strike. I took the opportunity to rejoin the family. Help her, go home. Mother was a...

[Raril's Bedroom]

"Linthaer..." Raril finally lowers his weapons. He wasn't going to be murdering his sister, self defense or not. "You've changed. Where have you been? I haven't seen you since before... before Danube took over."

[Market Street] The jewelry seller smiles at the implied compliment. This one was a charmer. "That one will cost you, you know." Her voice suggested there were more ways to pay than gold. Raril tags along behind Fayaad and Rose with a slight shiver. He was glad that drider was gone. [Rari...

[Raril's Bedroom] Is this a bad dream? Then why did his alarm spell go off? no, he was definitely awake and definitely not alone. A very unmanly scream escapes the male drow as a dagger is thrown, aimed for between the eyes of whoever had invaded his room. He scrambles to reach for his weapons hang...

[Panic! at the Enclave] Sszinyon chuckles and lets her go. "It seems so. How is your control? I could help you. Or if not me, another from my village. Shifters and werecreatures of all sorts are welcome there, so long as they behave themselves." "Father," A voice from behind the...
