@Guardian Angel Haruki Well I am definitely playing a clown bard. He's a renegade artist who performs clown-like escapades and does very silly graffiti as an act of rebellion. In reality, get ready for a bard with a disguise kit. Disguise being a clown.
@Birdboy Great minds think alike it seems. I'm planning on making a clown too, though she's a hexblade warlock rather than a bard.
They both sound like fun characters. And I am now asking myself, "Oh Dear God, What have I done?!"
Pacha looks to Kida as she offers to go with him as well, and he answers her, "Oh! Thank you! And it's nice to meet you Kidaga--....." It's clear to see that he is having trouble saying Kidagakash's full name, so he asks her politely, "I'm so sorry, is there a nickname I can call you by? I'm having a little trouble..."
Upon hearing that Mabel, Ariel, and the Huntsman were planning on going to shop, he answers Mabel's question, "There should be one in the Adventurer's Shopping District. Now that I think about it, I do need to get some chores done after my meeting with the Emperor. Perhaps we can meet up again there? I'll try and find you at the Cartographer's shop. I still want to thank you for your help today,"
With a plan agreed upon, Pacha starts to head off to the Palace. Unfortunately, as the group leaves, the same waitress informs them to never come to any of their establishments again. They clearly didn't like that a fight broke out there.
Kida, Shang, and Pacha reach the palace steps without incident. The trio are able to climb the numerous stone steps without issue, but Pacha is a little slower than Kida and Shang. Upon reaching the end of the steps, they see the two guards. The guards definitely stand out from how their bodies are painted/tattooed? One half of their bodies is blue and the other half is red. They are not wearing much armor, but they look strong as they hold spears and shields vigilantly at their posts.
Pacha asks one of the guards, "Uh, excuse me. I'm here to see Emperor Kuzco. You see, I got this summons--"
The guard immediately cuts him off and stoically answers, like he's answered this question a million times before,
"Inside, up the stairs and to the left. Just follow the signs,"
"Oh, great. Thanks a lot!" Pacha quickly thanks the guard before asking Kida and Shang, "Well, shall we then?"
During the walk there, Kida and Shang both immediately notice something. A frail old man is tied up in a banner's fabric with the post bent and almost broken and frayed.
Pacha doesn't notice until after the old man's sandal falls on his head.
"Ow!" Pacha quietly exclaims before successfully catching the sandal in his hand.
The old man's hand reaches down and taps Pacha's should before he feebly speaks, "Uh, pardon me. That's mine,"
Pacha casually hands the sandal back to the old man, "Oh, here you go,"
"Thank you," "You're welcome,"
Pacha moves like he is about to walk off again, but the realization of the old man's precarious position hits him like a speeding vehicle of any kind. He stops himself and sprints towards the old man and moves to get him out of the tangled banner.
"WOAH! Hey, are you alright?!"
Pacha seems pretty strong, but it looks like he could still use some help getting the old man out. The old man is tangled in the banner pretty badly.
Pacha rolled a 16 Dexterity Check to catch the sandal. Success!
Pacha rolled a 17 to get the old man down, but he will still need help. Thanks to his high roll, the DC will be reduced. I will need an Athletics or an Acrobatics if Kida and Shang want to help the old man down.
Before leaving, Pacha would have given the three directions to the shopping district. Not only would the Cartographer's shop be there, but there would a great deal many other shops that any adventurer could want or need.
And they find the district true to Pacha's word. Along with the Cartographer's Shop, they see armories, smiths, fletchers, and a wide variety of shops. If the party wanted to shop for weapons, armor, supplies, they can do so here.
Ariel would notice one particular shop of interest. The shop exterior is painted in a variety of shades of purples and blues. The sign reads, "The Octavinelle Shop of Magical Supplies and Curiosities,". The shop logo is that of a familiar spiraling conch shell.
So, yeah! This is the Shopping district! Feel free to shop if you want to buy anything with the gold you have,
I'll wait for at least one more person to respond before I put anything else, though I will take this moment to clear something up, because Stargaze's comment about 'Vipereyes picking fight with the older dragons' actually got me thinking.
Vipereyes, Garrock and Fogdance are all in the Bearded Dragon age bracket. I've already established that Garrock is Pretty Old(TM) given I've mentioned he's not far from becoming an Elder Dragon... but funnily enough, Vipereyes is probably not that much younger than him (though Stargaze would be forgiven for thinking otherwise, given I imagine Vipereyes wears her age a little more gracefully).
Fogdance is on the younger end of the Bearded Dragon age bracket... or at least she was, until magical aging shenanigans occurred. Due to the ceremony, she's actually catching up to them a bit, though still physically younger. Fogdance is also probably wiser and more emotionally mature than both of them, at least in my opinion.
Just a fun character fact that I thought I'd throw in since I realise I haven't really specified Vipereyes and Fogdance's ages.
Thank you! I wasn't sure about the ages, and I figured Vipereyes might be at least a little younger when I wrote my post. ^^"
Alright, I'm going to get a DM post and commence the Splitting of the Party.
@InnerFlame@Lucius Cypher can still decide who their characters went with when they can, and we can write as though they had been with the respective party all along.
