Mage's Towers

 Walks down the curving street toward the towers set against the waterfront. Her eyes are filled with darkness, her sword and knives filled with death. She goes to explore the Mage's death, prepared to do what it takes, even if she does it alone.

 Where lilbug is she doesn't know. Will he follow? Or will he be content t stay behind and be a good little slave boy?

Mage's Towers

Huffing from the effort, lilbug comes running after his eager Mistress.  He wasn't particularly enamoured of the waterfront; the mariners and merchants that frequented this area could be an insular and difficult people to deal with.  It was no place for cowards, but lilbug, for all his natural meekness, had never been a coward.

Catching up to his Lady, he slowed down to catch his breath.  He looked to his Mistress and immediately knew She was focused on Her purpose.  Quietly he walked behind Her, staying in close in case She had need of him, guarding their back vigilantly.

Mage's Towers

It was not too long after breakfast that Xi joined Fairaday to the mages tower.  Weapons and armor strapped on let those know that should a fight occur, she would not be found to be unskilled that art.  "I hope there are no mystical spells to be trap triggered." she stated calmly staring upwards to guess the height.  "I wonder how long the little beastie took to travel to join us...and why to the banquet", still part of her guessed it went to look for help but in this putrid city most would soon kill the animal and eat it than have cared enough to care for it.

Mage's Towers

 She gave lilbug a stern glance as he came puffing up like a steaming tea kettle. Was this how she had trained him? Clomp up the street with nary a glance around. Not a stealthy bone in his body!

 "Is that how I taught you to act slaveboy? For shame! You attract attention like a honey-flower attracts bees!"

 She glanced over at Xi and shakes her head. She hoped she got the boy trained before her own life depended upon him. She noted Xi's readiness for trouble with approval.

Mage's Towers

Rinaldo spotted Xi and Fairaday at a distance those two women left a wake behind them o a city street. Lethal and eyes full of purpose and death He doubted he noticed the common folk skittering out of their way like nervous sheep.

He Strolled leisurely whistling a tune and conversing with Stardance about the trip to the market as they went. Her presence was a going to attract attention but he was ready to shoo away onlookers and scolded them with a surprising sharpness if they tried to get too close to her.

Carefully and subtly making use of his title and Flashing his signet if they didn't respond to a man with no lady in his presence. No one wished to anger a Noble even a low ranking Man.

Now dressed in black with a cape of black with stark white flashes on the shoulders and down the hem,His garb now matching the colors of the bird tattooed on his neck. he Gave a slight apologetic glance to Stardancer when he chased away a particularly persistent Matron who wished to purchase her from them" Humans, I forgot how pesky they could be.Worse than Starlings."

He was relieved when he caught up to them on their way to the wizards tower. Ladies, no summoned demons from the abyss so far I hope."

Mage's Towers

As the group made their way toward the wizard's tower, the familiar face of the aspiring magician appeared behind them.  He scratched his head before getting their attention.  "Ah... you guys got here first?  Here I was thinking I'd get a head start on the scene of the crime.  Ah well..."

His eyes turned toward the direction in which the tower was located.  It wasn't often one had the chance to see the dwellings of a master wizard as successful as the owner of that one obviously was while he was still alive.  Of course, he had no doubt that he would be given many more such opportunities in the future.

Mage's Towers

 All are walking down the street toward the towers, but haven't gotten there yet. To the left, half a block ahead, the street branches off to the side, rounding behind the tower with a few narrow storefronts on the left and right. Ahead the street curves slightly to the right and heads straight for the waterfront, facing upon a section of the lake. There are a few boats tied up to warfs, the waterfront isn't as poor as some sections might be. This is a more affluent neighborhood. The buildings facing the water have some upper balconies and windows to open for fresh air flow.

 There do not appear to be any direct openings to the tower from this angle.

A little bird flies over and leaves lilbug a gift on his shoulder and down his back.

Mage's Towers

Walking along the streets Stardancer played her part as his dutiful guard.  Especially from pickpockets and those who wanted to accost him for a reason or two.  Still for sake of keeping peace she did not draw a weapon, she did not want to appear too threatening too the common folk.  She looked curiously at the woman wanting to 'purchase' her.  Flashing a wide smile as they passed when Rinaldo turned her offer away.  Though still acting the part of slave, most of her companions knew she was free and if her 'owner' did not appear within the next few months she truly would be free.  "I for one am often amazed at the diversity of thoughts by the people of this city, they are complex at times"

"Sorry Mistress, I was trying to act naturally as a slave boy would.  Even in places such as this, most slaves bustling about on their Mistress' errands are not given much notice.  I will try to be quieter."  the chastened slave boy whispered in reply.  He knew he had a great deal to learn from his Mistress, and he had best learn quickly it seemed.

When the generous bird left its gift on his shoulder he groaned.  This was not a very auspicious beginning.

Re: Mage's Towers

 "Clean up your act worm. And your shoulder. You need to look presentable if you insist n acting the slave. Wash off your leather and do your best to keep up. And keep your eyes peeled. We are nearly there."

 Her eyes followed their guide's path. She went left along the street that went west. Her eyes scanned the street but didn't see where the guide had gone.

 She looked at Xi to see where she was pointing, then looked around for the cat she had been following. Where did it disappear to anyway?

 "Did you see where the cat went to?"

Re: Mage's Towers

The slave took a moment to find a rain barrel and clean himself up, then returned quickly (and quietly this time) to the Lady Fairaday and company.  He arrived in time to hear his Mistress query, and quickly answered:

"Mistress, I think I saw the Mage's cat go down this small street...um, I believe it is called Fishmonger's Way?  Perhaps he is hungry my Lady?"

Re: Mage's Towers

 "I believe you are correct. Do you see him now though? This street backs up against the back of the towers."

 She stopped and looked around the area, the street that followed the curve of the lakefront a block further on.

Re: Mage's Towers

Cautiously, lilbug scanned the street, looking for any sign of the ragged tom.  He tried to think like a cat, hoping it would help.

"I'll search for him, Mistress, hopefully he hasn't gone far."


21:52, Today: lilbug rolled 23 using 1d20+11.  lilbug spot roll to find ragged kitty.


He moved slowly forward, trying to see if he could spot the surprisingly quick feline.  He looked up, checking walls and roofs, knowing cats were superior climbers.

She looked at the others assembling when asked to see if she could see the cat they were following, or had followed them.

Re: Mage's Towers

As you all search for the Tom, you feel that you are being watched. Once you look around, looking not only behind the crates and lobster and crab traps, you look up. Over a burnt out looking shop on the peak of the porch roof, you see the Tom looking down upon you with a smug look upon his face.

"Muurr?"

Re: Mage's Towers

Mariasha had arrived late and just barely caught sight of the group, had to be Mana's divine intervention she thought as she hurried to catch up to them.  She stops short in front of a burnt out shop, breathing a little heavy from hurrying, and watches the others search the crates and traps scatter around the area. When they seem to have exhausted all hiding places they turn theirs to the burnt out shop. Mariasha's eyes are on the group and not the shop, she see enlightened flash across their faces moments before she hears the Tom meow.
