Show: The Long Game
"Hold still. Your attire is ... that isn't a bloodstain, is it?"
:Silver-Claw said you can provide me with a disguise. "Did he? Something striking, so you stand out at the next merchant lord's soiree? Or a ridiculous. crenelated affair that leaves you the talk of the brothel?"
::I need to get into No Shira Citadel. "If you wanted a burial suit, the Iron Wheel charges far less than I. Though perhaps ... yes. A servant's outfit will let you go hither and yon - at least above ground. And if it's one of my creations, the cloth will breathe. But it shall cost you."
:::What if I don't want to pay? "Then I'd assume you're from Abah's Landing. But I know a certain ... individual ... who has yet to pay the bill for just such an outfit. If you happen to reacquire if on my behalf, I would consider it your property, paid in kind."
::::I'll think about it. "I'd prefer you deprived my shirker of his outfit, but if you're averse to saving coin, I will sell you one directly. Be warned, the disguise won't do you any good within the Iron Wheel's headquarters."
:::::Why won't servant's disguise work inside the Iron Wheel headquarters? "Paranoia, of course. No servants are allowed inside. From what I hear, the Iron Wheel takes care of all chores within their headquarters. Anyone who isn't Iron Wheel, or escorted by them, is attacked on sight. A truly noble organization."
:::::Couldn't you make me an Iron Wheel uniform? "I am physically capable of doing so, but it will never happen. I'd rather not end up in a prison cell. And a uniform alone won't serve as a disguise. They have too many signals and mannerisms. You'd be spotted in an instant."

In Abah's Landing:
"Ah, a friendly face. Good of you to join me on my unexpected jog. And I agree, this isn't my color."
:Why did the Iron Wheel come for you? "They must know of my previous involvement with your guild, though I can't begin to fathom how. Your former guildmaster, Nicolas, was it? He was the soul of discretion."
::We should get moving. We're heading to al-Danobia Tomb. "And I am prepared to give Abah's Landing a wide berth. I'd prefer to avoid the Iron Wheel, at least for the time being. Zeira mentioned a rendezvous by … Prince's Gate, was it? I'd feel safer were someone to escort me there."
:::Quen can get you there safely.
At Prince's Gate
"No better way to test your sartorial skills than to ride a camel while severely overdressed. If the chafing is less than excruciating, you're a true master."
:How did you manage to remove the dye from your clothes? "I carry a special potion for emergency situations. There are benefits to creating outfits for a certain Mages Guild artificer."
::When were you inside al-Danobia Tomb? "A lifetime ago. I don't speak of this matter, but you did save my life. I once served Magnifica Falorah. I confess she became infatuated. But I could not possibly return her feelings."
:::Were you in love with someone else? "No, and there never will be. Needle, thread, and bolts of cloth are more fulfilling than time spent with any person. But Falorah was young. During a family inspection of al-Danobia Tomb, she brought me along—hoping to impress me with her family's wealth."
::::What happened? "I was not allowed inside, but she led me through a side passage. She brought me to a large, frightfully dark chamber. I could feel it breathing. It terrified me. I'm not ashamed to admit I fled—out the front door, in full view of her mother."
:::::That doesn't sound good. "There was a scandal. The al-Danobia bloodline has always had great influence in Taneth, and I soon found myself banished. Not once did Falorah speak on my behalf. I understood, of course. She was young and feared her mother, as most nobles do."
::::::Did you forgive her? "No, she quite literally ruined my life's work. Had every one of the outfits I'd crafted for her burned in effigy. So I am happy to share what I know of al-Danobia Tomb, as I did with your Nicolas."
At the tomb:
"If I may, there is an alternate path inside the tomb. It is likely full of traps, guardians, and prodigious quantities of dust. A small price to avoid the Iron Wheel."
:How do we get there? "Head to the tomb entrance. Keep watch to the side of the path—the right side. You should notice an old trail leading to a sealed entrance. Simply clear the way and I shall join you to open the door."
::Can you lead me through? "Oh my, no. The things inside would most certainly kill me. I do know the trick to the door's hidden latch. The rest, I'm certain you can handle yourself"

"Ah, my unlikely savior returns! Zeira sent word of your stylistic needs."
:She said I need to choose an outfit. How does this work? "Oh, any of the selections you see here should fit. I have an eye for these things. Please note, the outfit shall be on loan. I humbly ask you return it with the exact same number of holes as when it left my establishment."
::What do you suggest? "Ah, that's like asking a parent to pick their favorite child. Each is special in its own way. Delicate fabrics and exhilarating patterns breathe life into whoever dons them! I don't mean to oversell it, but you shall feel born anew."
:::Thanks for the advice. "Go with what speaks to you. The first choice is always the best one."
::::Are you safe here? Isn't the Iron Wheel after you? "Not after the merchant lords caught wind. It's good to be the preeminent tailor of Abah's Landing. Chief Inspector Rhanbiq himself sent a personal apology. Something about excess zeal on the part of his underling."
::::Before we left for al-Danobia Tomb, Zeira said you had been inside. Did you ever walk Malooc's Path? "That horrid place of darkness? Magnifica Falorah tried to lead me through, but I panicked and fled. It was sheer luck that I didn't fall to my death. And if she hadn't given me that trinket, we wouldn't be speaking today."
:::::Was it an amulet? "Yes—it had a crystal holding a small amount of her blood. I mentioned it to your old guildmaster when he asked after the particulars of al-Danobia Tomb. It's strange, I seem to have misplaced it. Haven't seen it in months. Why do you ask?"

Quen: "Percius Loche? I'll get you to Prince's Gate, safe and sound."
Percius Loche: "Would you happen to have a spare set of boots?"
Quen: "I don't think mine will fit you. Come along, we'll work something out."
;Forever Hold Your Peace
Upon entering his shop:
Percius Loche: "A pleasure, Lady Balina. I always enjoy dressing you up."
Lady Balina: "Then you should come by my mansion later to collect your payment. Have I mentioned my husband is away?"
Percius Loche: "Three times, in fact. My assistant will bring you the bill."
Upon selecting your outfit:
Percius Loche: "Remarkable. As though the outfit chose you."
Zeira: "Hard to miss you in that."
