After Ariel asked about the three of them knowing who she was, the twins laughed to themselves, "Humans, she said,"
"How adorable,"
Azul chuckles as he answers Ariel, "I make it a point to know as much as possible. Knowledge is power. But it looks like I owe you an apology. It seems like you were keeping it a secret from your allies here,"
Azul then asks, "Aside from that, is there anything in particular you're looking for? This shop has a wide variety of magic items to choose from, as well as everything mundane for all of your adventuring needs,"
@Crimson Flame I'll need Ariel to make either an Arcana or an Insight Check. (In the Dice area, that will be a 1d20+2 for Arcana or a 1d20 for Insight)

The Old man feebly shakes as he straightens himself out and lowers his walking cane to the ground,
"Well...I...I threw off the Emperor's Groove,"
Pacha looks confused at first before he asks, "What?"
"His Groove! The rhythm in which he lives his life! The rhythm in which he lives his life! His pattern of behavior! I threw it off, and the emperor had me thrown out the window!" As he spoke, he became much more animated as he made small gestures before making the large arch gesture at the mention of being thrown out of the window.
Pacha's mouth was agape with horror at hearing what happened to this old man, before he speaking (clearly somewhat at a loss for words), "O-Oh, really? I'm supposed to see him today--"
"DON'T THROW OFF HIS GROOVE!" The old man reacted with horror. His small, frail body leaps upwards so his feet was against Pacha's chest and he held Pacha by the green poncho. Pacha stared with wide eyes as he answers, "Oh, OK!"
After receiving that reassurance the old man hops off and starts to walk away. Pacha calls after him, "Hey, are you going to be alright?"
The old man doesn't answer. Instead he keeps on walking and he speaks again, shaking, "The Groove...!"
The elf answers Tsak first, "I do not know. My apologies,"
After Gabriel speaks, he looks to him and answers Gabriel's introduction, "My name is Octavian Meliamne. It is good to meet you,"
He speaks again, his voice still devoid of emotion, "I realize my words may seem disingenuous, but I truly cannot feel any emotion after I lost my heart..."
Downfall: Enroute to D11
The boat comes over to them, and Jub and Brutrumukk are able to jump on the skiff and hop off to reach the next location. In front of them, they see a ramshackle hall built around a big tree. Two of the tree's limbs reach out through the walls like enormous welcoming arms. The interior of the hall is roomy, with an open floor plan that allows occupants of the upper story to look out over the lower one. Bullywug courtiers are crowding into the space, filling it with their guttural croaks. Their clothing is faded and stained with mud.
