R & R

Date 719HE/E33

The following morning, the team met up with Toman and after some discussion handed over 55% of the, er, "ladies of negotiable affection" operation to the City. Toman stated that the Empress would be… pleased? At least this way the workers would be looked after and useful income would be generated for the City.

With that grubby little piece of business out of the way, the group headed to the Rakshi Hexant with a plan of meeting the Gala organiser, which they duly did, a fancy gentleman by the name of Borger Victoire. Flamboyant? Certainly. Camp? Camper than a row of pink tents.

After some swift talking by OBD, it was agreed our plucky heroes would face their greatest challenge yet: Playing the 3rd spot on the bill on the 3rd day of the Gala.

In the evening, ostensibly to plan their next actions, the team headed to the Prince of Ochre tavern, a run down dive, with bad customers but a better atmosphere. Upstairs there was a small stage, and under the pretense of practice, OBD played an entrancing hour long solo. Under the cover of the music, Ulunnuh and Szithluon "acquired" a fair amount of cash for the spell-bound crowd.

After the performance, a local music troupe called the Greenland Players asked if they could be the backing band for OBD at the Gala. With that in place, the team returned to their quarters.

The next couple of days were spent recovering, repairing gear, training,playing with toys, getting pyros for the Gala, and practising with the Greenland Players. Most importantly they decided on a band name: MaüsRätte!

And with that, the team turned in, ready to head to the Gala.
