1-A: At the Docks and Dives


Carissa joins the others towards the docks and what rough company they may find tonight. Now that she knew what may be required for tonight, she had bound herself with the spirits of Lady Jarah and the painter of paradox, Muse Istago.
As they walk, Carissa and her clothing shift subtly, to those of more Qadiran style, loose and more fit to those of a dancer; her hair and features shifting subtly to reflect more of the Qadiran look she has seen before. With the aid of the Lady of Rogues, she reaches for the gift of tongues, now able to speak both Taldan and Kelish.
Upon hearing Gray Mouser's remarks to Aikio and Fafhrd's idea, she nods. "Once the tavern begins to fill, and you begin playing, I think a rousing Qadiran dance to remind some of the sailors a bit of home might help to at least draw their attention, if not get them to buy me a drink or three."
She will wait a few moments before entering the tavern, taking up position boldly near the bar as she orders herself something to drink and scans the room as she plays with the rim of her drink, waiting for Fafhrd to appear. She will wait until Fafhrd plays a song or two then calls out for something livelier.
If he does, then Carissa will give a wide smile, and walk to the center of the tavern, her body moving to the music as she raises her hands, turning and swaying with the beat, as if she were back in the tents of the desert.
As she twists and dances, riding the notes of the music, her appearance shifts again, somehow becoming something more alluring, something more personal to each onlooker in the tavern. Perhaps something to remind them of home.
