HF 033 Hank's Mythical Morning

[11/4/16, 7:06:54 PM] Josh: You awaken around the same time, but elsewhere, you are in a very bare room, small, one you vaguely remember from the night before.

[11/4/16, 7:07:06 PM] Josh: You are naked in a strange bed, Joxra and her armor are gone.

[11/4/16, 7:08:11 PM] Josh: Your armor is beside the bed.

[11/4/16, 7:08:23 PM] Hank: Hank gets up and gets dressed.

[11/4/16, 7:09:29 PM] Hank: Hank will head out of the room.

[11/4/16, 7:10:37 PM] Josh: You find yourself within the center ring, the nicest part of Havenfall.  Streets are already flocking with busy patrons and festival participants.

[11/4/16, 7:14:03 PM] Hank: (Do I recognize anyone in the area?)

[11/4/16, 7:14:10 PM] Josh: Roll perception

[11/4/16, 7:14:44 PM] Hank: (( 18 ))

[11/4/16, 7:16:05 PM] Josh: A few guards you recognize, nobody you're, like, overly familiar with, just some co-workers.  Maybe some people you've seen on the street.  Nobody really important to you.

[11/4/16, 7:17:39 PM] Hank: I am going to head to the booking station.

[11/4/16, 7:17:45 PM] Josh: Ok.

[11/4/16, 7:18:06 PM] Josh: You enter, it's busier than usual.  Kobash is in his usual space.  He looks up at you.

[11/4/16, 7:18:23 PM] Josh: Kobash: "No.  Please no.  It's too early for...anything you get involved in."

[11/4/16, 7:19:12 PM] Hank: No trouble this time I just wanted to check in and see if anything unusual happened the first day of the festival?

[11/4/16, 7:20:41 PM] Josh: Kobash: "By normal standards or your standards?"

[11/4/16, 7:21:25 PM] Hank: I will take that as a no.

[11/4/16, 7:24:08 PM] Josh: Kobash: "Some drunks starting fights, some fire displays gone wrong, usual festival bullshit...just bigger."

[11/4/16, 7:25:15 PM] Hank: So someone should probably stop people from entering the Silver Scale "bar".

[11/4/16, 7:26:01 PM] Josh: Kobash: "The what?"

[11/4/16, 7:27:43 PM] Hank: Any explanation is going to sound crazy.

[11/4/16, 7:28:23 PM] Hank: If it is there, don't send anyone in just have someone stopping people from entering.

[11/4/16, 7:29:18 PM] Josh: Kobash: "...so...don't send anyone into the bar I've never heard of...got it."

[11/4/16, 7:30:16 PM] Hank: I think it probably just showed up for the festival.

[11/4/16, 7:32:07 PM] Hank: I just don't want anyone accidently running into Tiamat or any of her bar patrons.

[11/4/16, 7:32:14 PM] Hank: Hank will leave.

[11/4/16, 7:32:32 PM] Josh: Kobash nods...looking somehow more concerned than when you walked in.

[11/4/16, 7:32:48 PM] Hank: Hank heads back to the prison

[11/4/16, 7:34:18 PM] Josh: Ok...it'll be a bit of a hike.

[11/4/16, 7:35:17 PM] Hank: Actually can I see if Tiamats bar is still there?

[11/4/16, 7:35:23 PM] Josh: Sure.

[11/4/16, 7:35:33 PM] Josh: You walk over, make a perception check, again.

[11/4/16, 7:36:05 PM] Hank: ((11))

[11/4/16, 7:36:46 PM] Josh: As you walk over, approaching it from a different direction than last time (from behind) you see it there with a different sign below "The Silver Scale" bit.  It reads "The Celestial Palace".

[11/4/16, 7:38:37 PM] Hank: (Can I use divine sense on the building?)

[11/4/16, 7:38:45 PM] Josh: You may.

[11/4/16, 7:39:08 PM] Hank: Hank uses divine sense.

[11/4/16, 7:39:42 PM] Josh: You sense a great presence of divine good from the end facing you...but just behind a flicker of great divine evil.

[11/4/16, 7:40:32 PM] Hank: Hank will walk around the other side of the building.

[11/4/16, 7:40:38 PM] Josh: Evil

[11/4/16, 7:40:53 PM] Josh: And the sign below reads "The Five-In-One" like last time.

[11/4/16, 7:42:05 PM] Hank: I will try to open the door of the good side.

[11/4/16, 7:44:17 PM] Josh: You look in and you see a massive, and I mean MASSIVE room of slick, purplish polished stone.  It is not as crowded as the Tiamat bar, a few tables are scattered about, one has a group of blue men in turbans whose legs turn to wispy wind, there are some clouds with faces at another table, and there is a giant, GIANT pale man in a toga at a large table at the back.  You suspect if he stood next to you, you wouldn't reach his knee.

[11/4/16, 7:44:45 PM] Josh: At the bar, which is over to the side (unlike Tiamat, who was at the center) is an old man with a wispy moustache and a blue hat.

[11/4/16, 7:45:46 PM] Hank: I will approach the old man at the bar.

[11/4/16, 7:46:31 PM] Josh: Bartender: "Well...you're a new sort.  How may I help you, young man?"

[11/4/16, 7:46:59 PM] Josh: Looking around you also see seven statues along the walls, each of a golden dragon.

[11/4/16, 7:47:53 PM] Hank: Mainly curiosity, I entered the silver scale yesterday with a friend and it was quite different then.

[11/4/16, 7:48:32 PM] Josh: The bartender sighs.  "You must've gone in the wrong end.  That's...my sister's bar over there...miraculous you lived to tell the tale, though."

[11/4/16, 7:50:34 PM] Hank: .. I might have been temporarily pixied but yes I did live.

[11/4/16, 7:51:07 PM] Hank: So why is the Silver Scale present in Havenfall?

[11/4/16, 7:52:09 PM] Josh: Bartender: "Well, it is our festival.  And this city seems to be a place of some import this year.  Great change is coming."

[11/4/16, 7:53:57 PM] Hank: What kind of change?

[11/4/16, 7:54:07 PM] Josh: Bartender: "Great."

[11/4/16, 7:54:22 PM] Josh: He shrugs: "Sorry...I can only be so specific."

[11/4/16, 7:57:57 PM] Hank: So what is to stop random people from walking into the five in one side of the bar?

[11/4/16, 7:58:14 PM] Hank: Cause that seems unduly dangerous.

[11/4/16, 7:58:34 PM] Josh: Bartender: "Most people don't even see us, usually."

[11/4/16, 7:58:52 PM] Josh: Bartender: "Just those who've crossed planar rifts."

[11/4/16, 7:59:34 PM] Josh: Bartender: "We're supposed to just be able to view you guys."

[11/4/16, 8:02:44 PM] Hank: So if the other bar is run by your sister. You would be?

[11/4/16, 8:03:11 PM] Josh: The bartender smiles at you.

[11/4/16, 8:03:43 PM] Josh: Bartender: "The bar's namesake.  Please, don't make too big a deal of this."

[11/4/16, 8:04:41 PM] Hank: Fair enough , you don't happen to have food that a mortal could eat in the bar do you?

[11/4/16, 8:05:02 PM] Josh: Bartender: "...it's been a while, you don't eat clouds, right?"

[11/4/16, 8:05:41 PM] Hank: No

[11/4/16, 8:05:50 PM] Josh: Bahamut: "Here, let me see."

[11/4/16, 8:07:26 PM] Josh: Bahamut: "I have some fruit...try some."

[11/4/16, 8:07:52 PM] Hank: Hank will try the fruit.

[11/4/16, 8:08:06 PM] Josh: It's really good, very sweet.

[11/4/16, 8:08:14 PM] Josh: A little chilly, though.

[11/4/16, 8:09:19 PM] Hank: Good, kind of cold but good.

[11/4/16, 8:09:39 PM] Josh: Bahamut: "Excellent, three silver, please."

[11/4/16, 8:10:03 PM] Hank: Hank will hand over three silver.

[11/4/16, 8:10:21 PM] Josh: Bahamut takes it: "Thank you.  It is still a business.  Speaking of."

[11/4/16, 8:10:55 PM] Josh: He shouts over at the colossus.  "Glosal!  You are paying your tab by the end of the day, and that's the last of it!"

[11/4/16, 8:12:55 PM] Hank: What kind of fruit was that by the way?

[11/4/16, 8:14:44 PM] Josh: Bahamut: "Silver Amaranth"

[11/4/16, 8:15:48 PM] Hank: Well I will leave you to run your bar.  Have a good festival.

[11/4/16, 8:16:17 PM] Hank: Hank leaves the bar.

[11/4/16, 8:16:39 PM] Josh: Bahamut: "Oh, one last thing."

[11/4/16, 8:16:59 PM] Josh: Bahamut: "Your goddess is a good friend of mine...so I am watching her daughter for her."

[11/4/16, 8:17:07 PM] Josh: Bahamut: "Thought you'd like to know."

[11/4/16, 8:17:53 PM] Hank: Hank pauses "do you know where she is?"

[11/4/16, 8:18:06 PM] Josh: Bahamut: "...in a manner of speaking...sort of..."

[11/4/16, 8:18:47 PM] Hank: Do you know if she is safe at least?

[11/4/16, 8:18:59 PM] Josh: Bahamut: "Yes."

[11/4/16, 8:19:12 PM] Josh: Bahamut: "She is as safe as she could be...given the circumstances."

[11/4/16, 8:19:25 PM] Josh: Bahamut: "I have some of my men making sure of that."

[11/4/16, 8:20:29 PM] Hank: Fair enough. Thank you.

[11/4/16, 8:20:35 PM] Josh: Bahamut nods.

[11/4/16, 8:21:00 PM] Hank: Hank leaves.

[11/4/16, 8:22:53 PM] Josh: You see the marketplace is being set-up for more festival stuff, but not as extravagant as before.

[11/4/16, 8:25:09 PM] Hank: Hank will summon Kai and head back to the prison.

[11/4/16, 8:26:13 PM] Josh: Kai appears and you ride over.
