Re: The Basilisk Gate

Vigg Enters the Bathhouse and sees that the walls of this twenty-foot-high pillared chamber are adorned with frescoes of bathing royalty. Natural light streams through stained-glass windows, creating colorful patterns on the tiles of polished blue marble that cover the floor. Three shallow, sunken pools contain scintillating perfume-scented water. White marble benches bearing stacks of dry towels are situated near the pools, each of which comes equipped with a pair of brass faucets.

Sitting in two of the tubs are two human males enjoying the steam and warmth of the water. They both causally look at Vigg before going back to whatever they were doing before he walked in.

Re: The Basilisk Gate

"I'm going in."
I grab a towel after I stow my weapon and shield and and decides to sit at the edge of the the empty pool and put my feet in it. I'll use this as a cover to observe in plain sight.
"My feet are killing me. This will help with the pain."

Re: The Basilisk Gate

The men relaxing seem to be tense a bit as the dragonborn comes and sets his feet into one of the pools. There are two rooms in this bath house as well one to the North and one to the South.

The two men were not talking to one another but seems to have been enjoying the quite.

Re: The Basilisk Gate

I get out of the pool, gather my belongings, and walk to the entrance to North room to see what is going on in there.

Re: The Basilisk Gate

This room contains a massage table draped in clean towels. Natural light enters through a stained-glass window set into the south wall. There is also a scantily clad human Female. She motions to the table in front of her and says, "Massage?"

The woman says, "Please Disrobe and lay here." She then motions at the table.

Re: The Basilisk Gate

(Meanwhile, I continue to enjoy the feeling of my feet in the pool. I start getting  a little a happy and make kicking motions of each of my legs. I think I am smiling)

(Can I see the each of the men from my position?)

Kriv kicks his feet and can look at each of the men who are getting more uncomfortable.

Re: The Basilisk Gate

Vigg gives the men a sympathetic grin and says to Kriv, "I think we've disrupted the atmosphere... I'll see if this place has a private room we can use so these gents can soak in peace."

He raps politely on the other door to see if it's another massage room, a private bath, or something else.

The room to the South contains another massage table and another scantily Clad woman. She says, "Would you care for a massage?"

Re: The Basilisk Gate

"No thank you, m'lady. There's so much of me..." he says as he pats his armored belly, "it would take two of you at least to handle the job. But," he says, easing the door closed a bit, "my large scaly friend and I would like a quiet place to talk where we won't make your other customers nervous. I think there's a quiet meeting place here somewhere-- some say a secret place-- if you'd be kind enough to point it out?" He produces a gold coin and places it on the massage table, jingling his purse with the other hand to invite a counter offer.

[OoC]: Let me know if an ability test is called for...

Her Eyes Dart left then right, "Make that 5 coin and I will tell you what I know." You never heard it from me though."

Re: The Basilisk Gate

The woman looks nervous and says, "There is a passage in the other massage room. Not sure where it leads or what happens here at night. Nor do I want to. You do whatever you need and again you never heard it from me."

Re: The Basilisk Gate

"Well, just in case I change my mind about the massage, when do you and your friend next door end your day? Sundown? Midnight? Because I'd hate to show up a few minutes after that and find the room empty and the young ladies safely gone for the day."

Assuming Vigg gets his answer, he heads back to the main room.

Re: The Basilisk Gate

Vigg soaks his feet with Kriv until the private massage is over. If the other bathers leave, he shares what he knows. Otherwise he waits until they're back on the street. "It sounds like the fun happens at night, so we may as well spend the day in the city. Should we all come back at sundown and force the secret door, or does someone have a more elaborate scheme than that?"
