"Perhaps one of us can get the room with the wash and we can share a bath?" Lu turned to flash Mags a mischievous smile.

He'd assumed she'd been referring to the other females. The thought of his female traveling companions sharing a bath had been enough to damaged his calm. He'd mentally shrugged off the image, but then Lu's naughty smile...

One of Lu's bags, slung over Mags' shoulder, slid off. He reached out to catch the bag--his reflexes were surprisingly quick--but his hands were full. He tried to catch the strap with an elbow, but failed, dropping a second piece of her baggage.

He was glad for the distraction. Red faced, he did want to look up and give Lu the satisfaction. So he took his time picking up the baggage. He was just standing when...

"Then, you did want a bath and I could use someone to wash my back, how about Lu and I could push the beds together to make room for the three of us, ya?"

"Wha--" He started to speak, but his mouth stopped working when he looked up to meet Billie's eyes. This time it took several mental shrugs before he could cast off the image Billie's words had painted in his mind. He struggled to make his mouth work again, but only managed to ramble nervously. "In... a... Snore! I, eh... I snore. Really loud. Like a blacksmith's hammering. You wouldn't want to, a... I'd keep you up all night." His face suddenly flushed. "NO! I mean, with me in the bed, you wouldn't get any sl-- Um, I mean, with me snoring in the bed, you wouldn't get any sleep."

Mags looked away and let out a sigh, cursing his useless tongue. When he spoke again, his words came slow and steady. "It might be best if I pay for a room of my own."

Background Hedge Wizard Background Feature The Common Folks' WizardWhen you arrive in smaller communities in your role as hedge wizard, you receive free lodging and food of a modest standard. In addition, your work (reading fortunes, conducting séances, providing herbal remedies to the sick, selling protective trinkets...) leads your clients to open up and tell you things, allowing you access to information they might not publicly share about themselves or others in their community.

Actions

Booming BladeEvocation cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (5-foot radius)
Components: S, M (a melee weapon worth at least 1 sp)
Duration: 1 round

You brandish the weapon used in the spell's casting and make a melee attack with it against one creature within 5 feet of you. On a hit, the target suffers the weapon attack's normal effects and then becomes sheathed in booming energy until the start of your next turn. If the target willingly moves 5 feet or more before then, the target takes 1d8 thunder damage, and the spell ends.

This spell's damage increases when you reach certain levels. At 5th level, the melee attack deals an extra 1d8 thunder damage to the target on a hit, and the damage the target takes for moving increases to 2d8. Both damage rolls increase by 1d8 at 11th level (2d8 and 3d8) and again at 17th level (3d8 and 4d8).

Cunning ActionStarting at 2nd level, your quick thinking and agility allow you to move and act quickly. You can take a bonus action on each of your turns in combat. This action can be used only to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action. (Dash, Disengage, Hide, Mage Hand LegerdemainStarting at 3rd level, when you cast mage hand, you can make the spectral hand invisible, and you can perform the following additional tasks with it:

>You can stow one object the hand is holding in a container worn or carried by another creature.
>You can retrieve an object in a container worn or carried by another creature.
>You can use thieves' tools to pick locks and disarm traps at range.

You can perform one of these tasks without being noticed by a creature if you succeed on a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check contested by the creature's Wisdom (Perception) check.

In addition, you can use the bonus action granted by your Cunning Action to control the hand.)
Steady AimAs a bonus action, you give yourself advantage on your next attack roll on the current turn. You can use this bonus action only if you haven't moved during this turn, and after you use the bonus action, your speed is 0 until the end of the current turn.

Reactions

Silvery Barbs1st-level enchantment
Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when a creature you can see within 60 feet of yourself succeeds on an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw
Range: 60 feet
Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous

You magically distract the triggering creature and turn its momentary uncertainty into encouragement for another creature. The triggering creature must reroll the d20 and use the lower roll.

You can then choose a different creature you can see within range (you can choose yourself). The chosen creature has advantage on the next attack roll, ability check, or saving throw it makes within 1 minute. A creature can be empowered by only one use of this spell at a time.

Cantrips Booming BladeEvocation cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action

On a hit, the target suffers the weapon attack's normal effects and then becomes sheathed in booming energy until the start of your next turn. If the target willingly moves 5 feet or more before then, the target takes 1d8 thunder damage, and the spell ends.

Both damage rolls increase by 1d8 at 11th level (2d8 and 3d8) and again at 17th level (3d8 and 4d8). | Mage HandConjuration cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 minute

A spectral, floating hand appears at a point you choose within range. The hand lasts for the duration or until you dismiss it as an action. The hand vanishes if it is ever more than 30 feet away from you or if you cast this spell again.

You can use your action to control the hand. You can use the hand to manipulate an object, open an unlocked door or container, stow or retrieve an item from an open container, or pour the contents out of a vial. You can move the hand up to 30 feet each time you use it.

The hand can't attack, activate magic items, or carry more than 10 pounds. | MessageTransmutation cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S, M (a short piece of copper wire)
Duration: 1 round

You point your finger toward a creature within range and whisper a message. The target (and only the target) hears the message and can reply in a whisper that only you can hear.

You can cast this spell through solid objects if you are familiar with the target and know it is beyond the barrier. Magical silence, 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood blocks the spell. The spell doesn't have to follow a straight line and can travel freely around corners or through openings. | Minor IllusionIllusion cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: S, M (a bit of fleece)
Duration: 1 minute

You create a sound or an image of an object within range that lasts for the duration. The illusion also ends if you dismiss it as an action or cast this spell again.

If you create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else's voice, a lion's roar, a beating of drums, or any other sound you choose. The sound continues unabated throughout the duration, or you can make discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends.

If you create an image of an object—such as a chair, muddy footprints, or a small chest—it must be no larger than a 5-foot cube. The image can't create sound, light, smell, or any other sensory effect. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it.

If a creature uses its action to examine the sound or image, the creature can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes faint to the creature. | PrestidigitationTransmutation cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 10 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Up to 1 hour

This spell is a minor magical trick that novice spellcasters use for practice. You create one of the following magical effects within range:

>You create an instantaneous, harmless sensory effect, such as a shower of sparks, a puff of wind, faint musical notes, or an odd odor.
>You instantaneously light or snuff out a candle, a torch, or a small campfire.
>You instantaneously clean or soil an object no larger than 1 cubic foot.
>You chill, warm, or flavor up to 1 cubic foot of nonliving material for 1 hour.
>You make a color, a small mark, or a symbol appear on an object or a surface for 1 hour.
>You create a nonmagical trinket or an illusory image that can fit in your hand and that lasts until the end of your next turn.

If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.

Spells Disguise Self1st-level illusion
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 hour

You make yourself—including your clothing, armor, weapons, and other belongings on your person—look different until the spell ends or until you use your action to dismiss it. You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller and can appear thin, fat, or in between. You can't change your body type, so you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you.

The changes wrought by this spell fail to hold up to physical inspection. For example, if you use this spell to add a hat to your outfit, objects pass through the hat, and anyone who touches it would feel nothing or would feel your head and hair. If you use this spell to appear thinner than you are, the hand of someone who reaches out to touch you would bump into you while it was seemingly still in midair.

To discern that you are disguised, a creature can use its action to inspect your appearance and must succeed on an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. | Find FamiliarCasting Time: 1 hour
Range: 10 feet
Components: V, S, M (10 gp worth of charcoal, incense, and herbs that must be consumed by fire in a brass brazier)
Duration: Instantaneous

You gain the service of a familiar, a spirit that takes an animal form you choose: bat, cat, crab, frog (toad), hawk, lizard, octopus, owl, poisonous snake, fish (quipper), rat, raven, sea horse, spider, or weasel. Appearing in an unoccupied space within range, the familiar has the statistics of the chosen form, though it is a celestial, fey, or fiend (your choice) instead of a beast.

Additional animal form choices may be available at the DM's discretion.

Your familiar acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands. In combat, it rolls its own initiative and acts on its own turn. A familiar can't attack, but it can take other actions as normal.

When the familiar drops to 0 hit points, it disappears, leaving behind no physical form. It reappears after you cast this spell again. As an action, you can temporarily dismiss the familiar to a pocket dimension. Alternatively, you can dismiss it forever. As an action while it is temporarily dismissed, you can cause it to reappear in any unoccupied space within 30 feet of you. Whenever the familiar drops to 0 hit points or disappears into the pocket dimension, it leaves behind in its space anything it was wearing or carrying.

While your familiar is within 100 feet of you, you can communicate with it telepathically. Additionally, as an action, you can see through your familiar's eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses that the familiar has. During this time, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses.

You can't have more than one familiar at a time. If you cast this spell while you already have a familiar, you instead cause it to adopt a new form. Choose one of the forms from the above list. Your familiar transforms into the chosen creature.

Finally, when you cast a spell with a range of touch, your familiar can deliver the spell as if it had cast the spell. Your familiar must be within 100 feet of you, and it must use its reaction to deliver the spell when you cast it. If the spell requires an attack roll, you use your attack modifier for the roll. | Mage Armor1st-level abjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a piece of cured leather)
Duration: 8 hours

You touch a willing creature who isn't wearing armor, and a protective magical force surrounds it until the spell ends. The target's base AC becomes 13 + its Dexterity modifier. The spell ends if the target dons armor or if you dismiss the spell as an action. | Silvery Barbs1st-level enchantment
Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when a creature you can see within 60 feet of yourself succeeds on an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw
Range: 60 feet
Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous

You magically distract the triggering creature and turn its momentary uncertainty into encouragement for another creature. The triggering creature must reroll the d20 and use the lower roll.

You can then choose a different creature you can see within range (you can choose yourself). The chosen creature has advantage on the next attack roll, ability check, or saving throw it makes within 1 minute. A creature can be empowered by only one use of this spell at a time.

Rituals Augury2nd-level divination (ritual)
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (specially marked sticks, bones, or similar tokens worth at least 25 gp)
Duration: Instantaneous

By casting gem-inlaid sticks, rolling dragon bones, laying out ornate cards, or employing some other divining tool, you receive an omen from an otherworldly entity about the results of a specific course of action that you plan to take within the next 30 minutes. The DM chooses from the following possible omens:

>Weal, for good results
>Woe, for bad results
>Weal and woe, for both good and bad results
>Nothing, for results that aren't especially good or bad

The spell doesn't take into account any possible circumstances that might change the outcome, such as the casting of additional spells or the loss or gain of a companion.

If you cast the spell two or more times before completing your next long rest, there is a cumulative 25 percent chance for each casting after the first that you get a random reading. The DM makes this roll in secret.

Mags' reaction made the scarred girl's wolfish grin widen, but holding her armor and supplies was getting burdensome. She leaned in a little closer to the redheaded oracle and spoke softly. "Mags, we can figure out the details later, right now I need you..." She waited for him to either look at her or start to respond, then continued. "...to carry Lulani's stuff to our room, ya?" With a boisterous laugh she gave him a little hip check. "Come on, lets all put our things away and get our pies. Besides, Dae is right, sleeping alone is a bad idea. Can your magic heat up bath water when it gets too cold by chance?"

She did wink at Dae and spoke in elvish. "Cin tur flien nia hon, ya?" Her accent was fluent and musical, clearly a native speaker of the tongue. With a name like Dae, she trusted her to get the joke, or not, because that would be just as amusing.

Elivish translation if you know Elven, take from it what you want 🙂It means something like: "You will/can take care of him" but could also be translated as "You will watch over him" a poor or amateur translation could get mistake the grammar and it come out like "You can lean over him" or rather, "you can bend him over" In elvish culture it's most often used in reference to caring for loved ones, but some youth use it to mean other things...

Billie leaned in a little closer and spoke softly. "Mags, we can figure out the details later, right now I need you..."

Mags took in a sharp breath and froze. He didn't look away from Billie's black eyes. He didn't speak to her. He'd didn't react in any way. Indeed, Billie realized the guy wasn't breathing. "You--"

"...to carry Lulani's stuff to our room, ya?"

With a boisterous laugh Billie gave him a little hip check, which he--anticipating worse, and overreacting--countered instinctively with a t-stance and readjustment of the baggage he carried, the move putting him face to face with Billie. He knew she was laughing, but somehow the sound didn't penetrate from his ears into his brain. He could only think of what he'd been about to say. He thanked his stars in the heavens that Billie had cut him off before he could finish his thought.

You smell good.

You smell good?! What the Halycia kind of thing was that to say to a woman?! Especially one who'd been out in the sun engaged in athletic competition! Nezeris take my voice! I'm an idiot!

But she did smell good.

"Come on, lets all put our things away and get our pies. Besides, Dae is right, sleeping alone is a bad idea."

Mags nodded, heading for the stairs, looking just a little downcast.

"Can your magic heat up water when it gets too cold by chance?"

"No, but I can heat up the tub or the bath tiles--which will achieve the same effect" he replied matter-of-factly. Questions about magic were easy--even when talking to... people like Billie.

Why can't I talk like that all the time.

Range: 10 feet
Components: V, S, M (10 gp worth of charcoal, incense, and herbs that must be consumed by fire in a brass brazier)
Duration: Instantaneous

You gain the service of a familiar, a spirit that takes an animal form you choose: bat, cat, crab, frog (toad), hawk, lizard, octopus, owl, poisonous snake, fish (quipper), rat, raven, sea horse, spider, or weasel. Appearing in an unoccupied space within range, the familiar has the statistics of the chosen form, though it is a celestial, fey, or fiend (your choice) instead of a beast.

Additional animal form choices may be available at the DM's discretion.

Your familiar acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands. In combat, it rolls its own initiative and acts on its own turn. A familiar can't attack, but it can take other actions as normal.

When the familiar drops to 0 hit points, it disappears, leaving behind no physical form. It reappears after you cast this spell again. As an action, you can temporarily dismiss the familiar to a pocket dimension. Alternatively, you can dismiss it forever. As an action while it is temporarily dismissed, you can cause it to reappear in any unoccupied space within 30 feet of you. Whenever the familiar drops to 0 hit points or disappears into the pocket dimension, it leaves behind in its space anything it was wearing or carrying.

While your familiar is within 100 feet of you, you can communicate with it telepathically. Additionally, as an action, you can see through your familiar's eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses that the familiar has. During this time, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses.

You can't have more than one familiar at a time. If you cast this spell while you already have a familiar, you instead cause it to adopt a new form. Choose one of the forms from the above list. Your familiar transforms into the chosen creature.

Finally, when you cast a spell with a range of touch, your familiar can deliver the spell as if it had cast the spell. Your familiar must be within 100 feet of you, and it must use its reaction to deliver the spell when you cast it. If the spell requires an attack roll, you use your attack modifier for the roll. | Mage Armor1st-level abjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a piece of cured leather)
Duration: 8 hours

You touch a willing creature who isn't wearing armor, and a protective magical force surrounds it until the spell ends. The target's base AC becomes 13 + its Dexterity modifier. The spell ends if the target dons armor or if you dismiss the spell as an action. | Silvery Barbs1st-level enchantment
Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when a creature you can see within 60 feet of yourself succeeds on an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw
Range: 60 feet
Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous

You magically distract the triggering creature and turn its momentary uncertainty into encouragement for another creature. The triggering creature must reroll the d20 and use the lower roll.

You can then choose a different creature you can see within range (you can choose yourself). The chosen creature has advantage on the next attack roll, ability check, or saving throw it makes within 1 minute. A creature can be empowered by only one use of this spell at a time.

Rituals Augury2nd-level divination (ritual)
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (specially marked sticks, bones, or similar tokens worth at least 25 gp)
Duration: Instantaneous

By casting gem-inlaid sticks, rolling dragon bones, laying out ornate cards, or employing some other divining tool, you receive an omen from an otherworldly entity about the results of a specific course of action that you plan to take within the next 30 minutes. The DM chooses from the following possible omens:

>Weal, for good results
>Woe, for bad results
>Weal and woe, for both good and bad results
>Nothing, for results that aren't especially good or bad

The spell doesn't take into account any possible circumstances that might change the outcome, such as the casting of additional spells or the loss or gain of a companion.

If you cast the spell two or more times before completing your next long rest, there is a cumulative 25 percent chance for each casting after the first that you get a random reading. The DM makes this roll in secret.

Dae

Dae wasn't sure if Mags was accepting her suggestion to share a room with her and Damaia. She hoped so, for the safety of the three of them, but she couldn't force him. With good reason, he was distracted by Lulani and Billie's banter. Was I ever so playful? Perhaps, a lifetime ago.

In truth, Dae was distracted too... but by the gaze of a certain dark elf with star-like eyes. She responded to Billie with a nod, perhaps disappointing the wolf by taking her statement literally and responding in common. "As strange as it seems now, I guess we need to take care of each other."

She continued to the group, not daring to glance at the Drow again. "I will find us a table and receive the promised food and drink. I can take my things up later." With some care, Dae looked for as private a table as she could find that had a view, preferably of the back, of the Drow who was watching them so intently.

She sat down, placing her pack beside her chair. She breathed. This place was so full of life. Memories crashed over her like she was caught in a riptide. There had a time in her life when she had been a musician in the corner, entertaining a full tavern. It seemed very far away. The fingers of her left hand twitched under the table, as if practicing the fingering of some instrument.

She shook her head and directed her attention to the task at hand. She wanted to surreptitiously watch the crowd, and in particular the sailors. If any of her new companions went up their rooms, she wanted to make sure they were not followed.

Lulani Zenar'inan - Shadar Kai Hexblade Warlock of the Tome

AC: 14 | HP: 21/22 | Initiative: +3 | Passive Perception: 13

Lulani nods along and licks her lips at the promise of mead. She was looking forward to trying the local food and hoped it wasn't too spicy. Lulani's chuckles become a laugh at Mags' reactions, she hoped he wasn't going to get too used to them playing with him any time soon. Perhaps she should lay off for a little while though... it was hard to when it was so easy.

"Go on with Billie, Valvy." , Lulani instructs the dog with a light pat on the rear as an affectionate encouragement.

"As strange as it seems now, I guess we need to take care of each other."

Lulani stewed on what Dae said as the bard chose a seat. She had been a bit distracted, but the thought had been in the back of her mind for some time now. Here they were, a bunch of strangers, stuck together because of fate and expected to safe the world? Were they going to save the world? Most of it? Or was it just going to be them? She shuttered to think of it. Fate can change. That much is apparent. , she thought as she thought of the name that was crossed out. Perhaps they can stop the destruction all together. Her thoughts came back to the fact that they were strangers and suddenly they had to trust each other.

Lulani didn't like it. She didn't like the thought of sharing a bedroom with all these people she didn't know, didn't trust. Should she trust fate that much? Should she test these people by sleeping in the same room to see if they are trustworthy enough to at least do that? She found herself willing to do so. After all, her sister only meditated and thanks to their elven heritage, they were pretty light sleepers. Plus she had an extra pair of eyes that can watch over her, thinking of her familiar, who was currently just outside perched on the top of the Pillar.

Taking a seat with Dae and Damia. She had already seen some of what the others were capable of, what more did she... did they all need to know from one another to help with another fight and survival? What was their next step? They certainly needed to cover that. The thought of sharing what her and Billie could do somewhat irked her. She would rather show it off and let them find it for themself. Lulani bobbed along to the music and twirled her white hair around her finger thinking how much she should share and how much she wanted to know. Her blue-green eyes fell on Dae, It's good that the rest seem rather alert and watchful. I wonder if this one will bolt on us though? Dae had held her own, but what if one of the others went down? She pushed the thought aside. There wasn't really anyway to know until it happened. Lulani takes a moment, closes her eyes. She thinks about the battle they had, trying to envision it, until she hears the others come back.

"I think it's obvious that we do not need to know each other's life stories. It is also obvious that each one of us has magic in some way or another. As we fought, it seemed as though most of us are comfortable with face to face combat. As I am sure you figured out, I am more comfortable at a distance. My spells may be limited, but I can blast until my hearts content. I have a spell to charm and one to fear. One of the spells that I can do as many times as I want can make someone prone. I am more knowledgeable in the arcane and history." She left it at that, feeling she said what was important.

Dae

As the others joined her, Dae leaned forward listening intently to what the elf was saying, trying to register her intent as well as remember her words.

"I am not a fighter. My bow is for hunting and my dagger for skinning. I suppose, if I had to, I could..." She pouted at the thought and then continued. "I have some influence over the minds of others, but... I prefer to help my friends than harm my foes." How could she tell these strangers of the dark well she had to tap to cause people pain?

Her voice dropped to a whisper. "You should know, that when we entered the inn, the table of sailors to the north-west of us were staring. The one, the Drow, his gaze lingered longer than it should have. I believe they merit a surreptitious eye on them."

She described himA Drow with sharp features pointed ears, and skin as dark as ebony. His eyes are a bright and piercing shade of silver, which seem to glow in the flickering light of the tavern's lights.

He wears a long, flowing coat made of black leather, which is adorned with silver buttons and intricate stitching. His boots are tall and made of the same dark leather, which extends up to his knees. A silver belt encircles his waist, which is studded with precious gems, and has a small dagger sheathed at his side. Dae would notice a thin, jagged scar that runs from his left eyebrow down to his cheekbone and another smaller scar just above his upper lip as best she could, so they would not have to turn their heads to look at the table.

AC: 16 | HP: 35/35 | Initiative: +2 | Passive Perception: 13

Upstairs, she laid out her gear, she didn't want her armor to get creased and uncomfortable. She also took the painting out and hid it between the mattresses. Her bow and other gear she left, taking only her sword. It was odd, being alone with Mags here, she hadn't expected that, but it wasn't an opportunity she'd let slide. "Mags, before we go back down I have a question." She locked the door and leaned over the railing, stretching to her tiptoes before sinking down to her elbow and surveying the people below. The gentle breeze played with the loose strands of her hair and the falling sun cast a swath of growing darkness across the courtyard below. "You said trust yet verify, so... how'd you know my nickname." Her tone was so calm and quiet, Valyv even lid down by her feet.

"The gods give you flashes of insight that help you bring your efforts to fruition. When you make an ability check, you can roll a d10 and add the number rolled to the check.

The sight of the two beds conjured Billie's earlier suggestion anew. Mags pushed the image away more easily this time. He noted the bed Billie had chosen, and moved to the other bed to lay out Lu's considerable baggage. Calling to Valyv, he unpacked the heavy laden mastiff, setting the rest of Lu's things on the bed. He gave the dog a final pat. "There you go boy."

He exited the room and Billie locked the door behind him. He was heading for the other room when, on a whim, he decided to join Billie for a quick look out over the balcony.

"Mags, before we go back down I have a question." Billie leaned over the railing, stretching to her tiptoes before sinking down to her elbow and surveying the people below. The gentle breeze played with the loose strands of her hair and the falling sun cast a swath of growing darkness across the courtyard below.

There was something different about her. Her tone. Her posture. He could not say with any certainty if this was Billie being vulnerable, Billie at her most dangerous, or both. But whatever it was, it settled him. In that moment, she was more attractive than he'd previously imagined. But this Billie he could deal with. This Billie he could talk to.

"You said trust yet verify, so... how'd you know my nickname." Her tone was so calm and quiet.

"Heh," he laughed easily, almost playfully, recalling his visions. "I've seen you before, Billie-with-the-black-eye."

He spoke as one recalling fond memories. "You couldn't have been more than eight or nine years old the first time I saw you: a little girl with tousled, dirty hair and slippered feet, running through the streets of Fray challenging the biggest boys to combat. You were so damn cute! And frightening!" He laughed again, a hearty laugh.

And then he turned and met Billie's eye, and she saw a man of wisdom and experience beyond his years. He spoke as a man might speak to a friend, yet there was bronze in his words, and surety beyond the ken of mortals. "I'm an oracle, Billie. I've seen you many times before."

He turned back to look at the crowd. "I can't control what I see. And for some reason, I always saw you as a girl: sometimes you were eight or nine or ten, other times you were eleven or twelve, maybe thirteen. I think the oldest you appeared in any of the visions was that time you were fighting the boy with the ponytail--what was his name, Nikovius?--and you started your first blood."

Perhaps he should have spared her that memory. But no, this was Oracle work: he would speak plainly and say what Billie needed to hear. "Don't worry, I didn't write that detail down in my vision journal."

He paused, giving her time to absorb his words.

"That's were my visions of you end: you're in that awkward space between girl and woman. I didn't know until today that you were," he turned to look at her with eyes that saw more of her than she'd imagined, "a grown woman." His gaze lingered admiringly for a heartbeat before he turned back to the crowds below.

"In fact, a couple of years ago, the Master an-- my mentor and I were passing through Frey and I looked for thirteen-year-old you all over the streets for the better part of a day."

Upon further consideration, he added, more thoughtfully, and warmly, "I'm glad I finally found you, Billie-with-the-black-eye."

He turned and walked away, still needing to dump his traveling gear in the other room.

The room was nearer than he'd thought. Using the key he'd been given, he entered the other room--the one he'd be sharing with Dae and Damaia. He closed the door behind him, locked it, and dumped his blanket, bedroll, and waterskin on the floor away from the other beds and the bath. He didn't want to let poor Dae sleep on the floor. She looked too haggard for that. Alternatively, he'd been sleeping on the floor all of his life. By his count, he'd only ever slept in a bed thirty-seven times. And so, he spread out his bedroll against the wall, covered it with his blanket, and placed the water skin for a pillow.

Sitting down on the bed, he took a moment to quickly inventory his gear, checking to see if anything had broken in the fight. Satisfied that all was as it should be, he drew the small magical compass of corruption and took another reading, attempting to determine if it still pointed in the same direction. He made a note of his findings in his travel journal--date, time, and direction--and returned the box to its pocket.

Mags had been bothered by his reactions to Billie and Lu's teasing, but his time with Billie on the balcony had given him hope. Granted, his words had come because he was speaking as an Oracle, and that was not a fireplace he could light whenever he pleased. So something would have to change. He could not afford to be so easily distracted. That was dangerous. He guessed he was better trained at counter-espionage than any of the others. It was important that he remain focused and alert--but that wasn't going to happen until he learned to overcome Billie and Lu teasing.

With a sigh, he re-summon his invisible arcane hand and exited the room, locking it behind him. He stepped out onto the balcony and studied the large open-air courtyard that served as common room for the inn. He committed the layout to memory, analyzing what he saw in terms tactical details such as access points, sight lines, likely bottlenecks should chaos ensue and the patrons flee for their lives.... Continuing his observations--his favorite part of visiting a city had always been sitting on a bench somewhere and observing the people who passed--he turned his attention to the patrons and others within view, not looking for anything in particular, but simply taking it all in and letting his gut tell him if something or someone felt wrong.

His observations complete, Mags took the stairs back to the main floor and found the table Dae had secured for them. He was the last one back, and was forced to take a seat between Billie and Dae.

Relax.

Settling in, he took up the empty mug before him and poured from the pitcher of water rather than the amphora of mead--he'd had enough experience with mead to know that it did not serve to quench one's thirst on a hot day. He emptied the mug in one long pull. Then he refilled the mug and looked to the others. He listened attentively to Lu and then Dae, considering how he might summarize his training, skills, and gifts.

But then Dae whispered her warning.

He laughed--not with derision--genuinely delighted that the little fox hadn't grasped the heart of the situation. He quickly shut his mouth, stopping the laughter before explaining. "Sorry, but when we walked in, the sailors, who've likely been at sea deprived of female companionship for longer than they would prefer, saw a cluster of unescorted hotties--and their overburdened manservant. As for the drow, elves are a rare sight in Baromenes. He might have any number of reasons for taking an interest."

"Or he might be chained and we'll need to kill him. Let's check." Mags snapped his fingers and the arcane compass box appeared in his hand. He opened the tiny box and--without making it obvious--checked to see if the sliver of corruption was pointing at the sailors. He left it open long enough for Dae and Billie to see. He snapped his fingers again and the box disappeared.

Apologetically, he added, "I suppose it's possible our enemy employs unchained agents."

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 minute

A spectral, floating hand appears at a point you choose within range. The hand lasts for the duration or until you dismiss it as an action. The hand vanishes if it is ever more than 30 feet away from you or if you cast this spell again.

You can use your action to control the hand. You can use the hand to manipulate an object, open an unlocked door or container, stow or retrieve an item from an open container, or pour the contents out of a vial. You can move the hand up to 30 feet each time you use it.

The hand can't attack, activate magic items, or carry more than 10 pounds. | MessageTransmutation cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S, M (a short piece of copper wire)
Duration: 1 round

You point your finger toward a creature within range and whisper a message. The target (and only the target) hears the message and can reply in a whisper that only you can hear.

You can cast this spell through solid objects if you are familiar with the target and know it is beyond the barrier. Magical silence, 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood blocks the spell. The spell doesn't have to follow a straight line and can travel freely around corners or through openings. | Minor IllusionIllusion cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: S, M (a bit of fleece)
Duration: 1 minute

You create a sound or an image of an object within range that lasts for the duration. The illusion also ends if you dismiss it as an action or cast this spell again.

If you create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else's voice, a lion's roar, a beating of drums, or any other sound you choose. The sound continues unabated throughout the duration, or you can make discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends.

If you create an image of an object—such as a chair, muddy footprints, or a small chest—it must be no larger than a 5-foot cube. The image can't create sound, light, smell, or any other sensory effect. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it.

If a creature uses its action to examine the sound or image, the creature can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes faint to the creature. | PrestidigitationTransmutation cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 10 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Up to 1 hour

This spell is a minor magical trick that novice spellcasters use for practice. You create one of the following magical effects within range:

>You create an instantaneous, harmless sensory effect, such as a shower of sparks, a puff of wind, faint musical notes, or an odd odor.
>You instantaneously light or snuff out a candle, a torch, or a small campfire.
>You instantaneously clean or soil an object no larger than 1 cubic foot.
>You chill, warm, or flavor up to 1 cubic foot of nonliving material for 1 hour.
>You make a color, a small mark, or a symbol appear on an object or a surface for 1 hour.
>You create a nonmagical trinket or an illusory image that can fit in your hand and that lasts until the end of your next turn.

If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.

Spells Disguise Self1st-level illusion
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 hour

You make yourself—including your clothing, armor, weapons, and other belongings on your person—look different until the spell ends or until you use your action to dismiss it. You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller and can appear thin, fat, or in between. You can't change your body type, so you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you.

The changes wrought by this spell fail to hold up to physical inspection. For example, if you use this spell to add a hat to your outfit, objects pass through the hat, and anyone who touches it would feel nothing or would feel your head and hair. If you use this spell to appear thinner than you are, the hand of someone who reaches out to touch you would bump into you while it was seemingly still in midair.

To discern that you are disguised, a creature can use its action to inspect your appearance and must succeed on an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. | Find FamiliarCasting Time: 1 hour
Range: 10 feet
Components: V, S, M (10 gp worth of charcoal, incense, and herbs that must be consumed by fire in a brass brazier)
Duration: Instantaneous

You gain the service of a familiar, a spirit that takes an animal form you choose: bat, cat, crab, frog (toad), hawk, lizard, octopus, owl, poisonous snake, fish (quipper), rat, raven, sea horse, spider, or weasel. Appearing in an unoccupied space within range, the familiar has the statistics of the chosen form, though it is a celestial, fey, or fiend (your choice) instead of a beast.

Additional animal form choices may be available at the DM's discretion.

Your familiar acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands. In combat, it rolls its own initiative and acts on its own turn. A familiar can't attack, but it can take other actions as normal.

When the familiar drops to 0 hit points, it disappears, leaving behind no physical form. It reappears after you cast this spell again. As an action, you can temporarily dismiss the familiar to a pocket dimension. Alternatively, you can dismiss it forever. As an action while it is temporarily dismissed, you can cause it to reappear in any unoccupied space within 30 feet of you. Whenever the familiar drops to 0 hit points or disappears into the pocket dimension, it leaves behind in its space anything it was wearing or carrying.

While your familiar is within 100 feet of you, you can communicate with it telepathically. Additionally, as an action, you can see through your familiar's eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses that the familiar has. During this time, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses.

You can't have more than one familiar at a time. If you cast this spell while you already have a familiar, you instead cause it to adopt a new form. Choose one of the forms from the above list. Your familiar transforms into the chosen creature.

Finally, when you cast a spell with a range of touch, your familiar can deliver the spell as if it had cast the spell. Your familiar must be within 100 feet of you, and it must use its reaction to deliver the spell when you cast it. If the spell requires an attack roll, you use your attack modifier for the roll. | Mage Armor1st-level abjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (a piece of cured leather)
Duration: 8 hours

You touch a willing creature who isn't wearing armor, and a protective magical force surrounds it until the spell ends. The target's base AC becomes 13 + its Dexterity modifier. The spell ends if the target dons armor or if you dismiss the spell as an action. | Silvery Barbs1st-level enchantment
Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when a creature you can see within 60 feet of yourself succeeds on an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw
Range: 60 feet
Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous

You magically distract the triggering creature and turn its momentary uncertainty into encouragement for another creature. The triggering creature must reroll the d20 and use the lower roll.

You can then choose a different creature you can see within range (you can choose yourself). The chosen creature has advantage on the next attack roll, ability check, or saving throw it makes within 1 minute. A creature can be empowered by only one use of this spell at a time.

Rituals Augury2nd-level divination (ritual)
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Self
Components: V, S, M (specially marked sticks, bones, or similar tokens worth at least 25 gp)
Duration: Instantaneous

By casting gem-inlaid sticks, rolling dragon bones, laying out ornate cards, or employing some other divining tool, you receive an omen from an otherworldly entity about the results of a specific course of action that you plan to take within the next 30 minutes. The DM chooses from the following possible omens:

>Weal, for good results
>Woe, for bad results
>Weal and woe, for both good and bad results
>Nothing, for results that aren't especially good or bad

The spell doesn't take into account any possible circumstances that might change the outcome, such as the casting of additional spells or the loss or gain of a companion.

If you cast the spell two or more times before completing your next long rest, there is a cumulative 25 percent chance for each casting after the first that you get a random reading. The DM makes this roll in secret.

Dae

Dae contemplates Mags response, juggling the idea as a possibility. "I would have thought there eyes drawn to Lulani, Billie or Damaia then, not the group as a whole. When I met his eyes, there was no smile.

But, anyway, I did not think them chained. Deypho said that there are agents in this city who work against us. I don't think it will always be as obvious as it was this afternoon." She shrugged. She was tired and perhaps turning butter knives into rapiers. She took a sip of her water.

Below she noticed the mercenaries, to her they were old men, but those were the sort with stories to tell, it was odd to watch them while listening to Mags talk, reciting her past as if it were memory. It explained why he laughed when they first met, he was probably the only person to have laughed at her and not have it replied to with a kiss from a fist. Instead, she tilted her head back slightly to look at the sky and keeping the water in her eyes, so it wouldn't run streaks on her cheeks. He was an oracle, one who receives visions from the gods, that meant they were watching her. She had their attention. It validated what she had wanted so much and fought so hard for. It motivated her to push herself even further.

As he moved to walk away, her arm shot out and caught his wrist. To her this was still a competition and she couldn't let him get the last word in. Jerking him towards her and stepping into him, she brushed her cheek past his, whispering softly in his ear... "You think I'm so damn cute, do you?" Placing a hand on his chest, she peeled herself back, and snaked into place before him, meeting his eyes from inches away. They were a similar height, he had the advantage there, if only barely. She could feel his heartbeat beneath her fingertips as she stared into his dark eyes that seemed so much older than the rest of him. How had he matured so much so quickly in her mind, perhaps it was to being brought back to a time when she was so much younger? As if to exemplify the notion, her eyes suddenly crinkled with a very genuine and youthful smile. "Verified." She sang and spun away with a little hop in her step as she headed downstairs.

She hadn't bothered to elaborate much on her skills, as far as she was concerned you got what you saw, if if you didn't get it then you probably never would. There was something she could tell them though. "I hit things with my big sword, and this thing is enchanted to warn of danger. I think it might extend to you lot, I know it does to Lu and it has with other people I've traveled with in the past, you need to be within about dozen or so paces of me though." By the time Mags had come downstairs, Billie was well into her pie and wine, but she didn't tease him. Instead she continued to stuff herself, licking her fingers as she commented on the sailors. "They won't try anything here, see that table there?" She nodded to the one with the more seasoned patrons. "Old Lord's Watch. Tough old bastards, retired knights and the sort... but I can just walk over and ask the dark elf what he's eye banging you for, ya?" She took another gulp of wine, and raised a brow in case there were any objections or if anyone wanted to come with.

Dae

Dae had been eating with much reverence of the meal, taking small thoughtful bites, chewing it slowly and pausing between swallows. The meat pie was a third eaten and she took the remaining and wrapped it up, tucking it into her sack. She leaned back, seemingly sated. Without thought or bidding, her toes tapped in time to the music in the room.

"I wouldn't say he was "eye-banging me"... I would say he was staring at us, as a group. And, if it is nothing, if it is me seeing shadows when there are none... then I feel we shouldn't draw attention to ourselves. If we do, then any such agents will surely hear of our presence."

Her expression revealed that she knew it was too late... they were too different, they stood out in Baromenes, and they had entered the inn too boldly. Whatever was going to happen, was going to happen. Dae raised her hands in a helpless gesture.

Billie looked at Dae and nodded as if understanding, she was very different from her, not in the same way as Lulani, but as if their minds just spun in opposite directions. "So eye banging the lot of us... got it. I mean, I'll talk to them later, but that happens to Lu always and both of us often enough." She leaned back on her chair, taking in the folk as she decided to address the unspoken issue. "So, its up to us to save the world or something. How's that sittin'?"

AC: 14 (17with Mage Armor) | HP: 30/30 | Initiative: +4Oracular Insight (I'll often use this for important initiative checks)
"The gods give you flashes of insight that help you bring your efforts to fruition. When you make an ability check, you can roll a d10 and add the number rolled to the check. You can wait until after you roll the d20 before deciding to add the d10, but you must decide before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest." | Passive Perception: 17 | Spell Slots 0/2 (1st)

Mags was caught off guard by Billie's sudden reaction. Before he knew it, her cheek was brushing against his, her body tantalizingly near his.

"You think I'm so damn cute, do you?"

The oracle in him opened his mouth to correct her. He'd actually said that she was cute--when she was eight. And of course, she'd overlooked the part about her being frightening--even at that age. But he'd seen in her reaction that his words had served their purpose. She'd received whatever message they were meant to convey. Such was often the case: he delivered the words, but he did not always know what they meant to the one receiving them. He closed his mouth.

And inhaled a slow deep breath of her. And possibly, he released the tiniest hint of an "mmm" sound.

And then slowly he nodded in reply to her question, his cheek brushing hers.

But the nearness of her, or perhaps her scent filling his lungs, was banishing the oracular spirit that had come upon him. His heart began to pound with renewed effort. She put a hand on his chest and away from him, her black eyes looming near like threatening storm clouds. He wanted to put more distance between himself and those eyes. He wanted to lean back in and feel her nearness again. His heart was pounding hard against her touch.

As if proving him wrong, her eyes suddenly crinkled with a very genuine and youthful smile. And suddenly, he saw that she was still as cute as she'd ever been.

"Verified."

She spun away and bounced down the stairs.

Mags remembered to breath.

Dusulla's waggary! What just happened!

"So, its up to us to save the world or something. How's that sittin'?"

Mags thought this a good time to start into his meat pie. He took a big bite, chewing very slowly, studying his companions.

Components: S, M (a melee weapon worth at least 1 sp)
Duration: 1 round

You brandish the weapon used in the spell's casting and make a melee attack with it against one creature within 5 feet of you. On a hit, the target suffers the weapon attack's normal effects and then becomes sheathed in booming energy until the start of your next turn. If the target willingly moves 5 feet or more before then, the target takes 1d8 thunder damage, and the spell ends.

This spell's damage increases when you reach certain levels. At 5th level, the melee attack deals an extra 1d8 thunder damage to the target on a hit, and the damage the target takes for moving increases to 2d8. Both damage rolls increase by 1d8 at 11th level (2d8 and 3d8) and again at 17th level (3d8 and 4d8).

This action can be used only to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action. (Dash, Disengage, Hide, Mage Hand LegerdemainStarting at 3rd level, when you cast mage hand, you can make the spectral hand invisible, and you can perform the following additional tasks with it:

>You can stow one object the hand is holding in a container worn or carried by another creature.
>You can retrieve an object in a container worn or carried by another creature.
>You can use thieves' tools to pick locks and disarm traps at range.

You can perform one of these tasks without being noticed by a creature if you succeed on a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check contested by the creature's Wisdom (Perception) check.

In addition, you can use the bonus action granted by your Cunning Action to control the hand.)
Steady AimAs a bonus action, you give yourself advantage on your next attack roll on the current turn. You can use this bonus action only if you haven't moved during this turn, and after you use the bonus action, your speed is 0 until the end of the current turn.

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 minute

A spectral, floating hand appears at a point you choose within range. The hand lasts for the duration or until you dismiss it as an action. The hand vanishes if it is ever more than 30 feet away from you or if you cast this spell again.

You can use your action to control the hand. You can use the hand to manipulate an object, open an unlocked door or container, stow or retrieve an item from an open container, or pour the contents out of a vial. You can move the hand up to 30 feet each time you use it.

The hand can't attack, activate magic items, or carry more than 10 pounds. | MessageTransmutation cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S, M (a short piece of copper wire)
Duration: 1 round

You point your finger toward a creature within range and whisper a message. The target (and only the target) hears the message and can reply in a whisper that only you can hear.

You can cast this spell through solid objects if you are familiar with the target and know it is beyond the barrier. Magical silence, 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood blocks the spell. The spell doesn't have to follow a straight line and can travel freely around corners or through openings. | Minor IllusionIllusion cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Components: S, M (a bit of fleece)
Duration: 1 minute

You create a sound or an image of an object within range that lasts for the duration. The illusion also ends if you dismiss it as an action or cast this spell again.

If you create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else's voice, a lion's roar, a beating of drums, or any other sound you choose. The sound continues unabated throughout the duration, or you can make discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends.

If you create an image of an object—such as a chair, muddy footprints, or a small chest—it must be no larger than a 5-foot cube. The image can't create sound, light, smell, or any other sensory effect. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it.

If a creature uses its action to examine the sound or image, the creature can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes faint to the creature. | PrestidigitationTransmutation cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 10 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: Up to 1 hour

This spell is a minor magical trick that novice spellcasters use for practice. You create one of the following magical effects within range:

>You create an instantaneous, harmless sensory effect, such as a shower of sparks, a puff of wind, faint musical notes, or an odd odor.
>You instantaneously light or snuff out a candle, a torch, or a small campfire.
>You instantaneously clean or soil an object no larger than 1 cubic foot.
>You chill, warm, or flavor up to 1 cubic foot of nonliving material for 1 hour.
>You make a color, a small mark, or a symbol appear on an object or a surface for 1 hour.
>You create a nonmagical trinket or an illusory image that can fit in your hand and that lasts until the end of your next turn.

If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.

Spells Disguise Self1st-level illusion
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 hour

You make yourself—including your clothing, armor, weapons, and other belongings on your person—look different until the spell ends or until you use your action to dismiss it. You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller and can appear thin, fat, or in between. You can't change your body type, so you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you.

Duration: Instantaneous

You gain the service of a familiar, a spirit that takes an animal form you choose: bat, cat, crab, frog (toad), hawk, lizard, octopus, owl, poisonous snake, fish (quipper), rat, raven, sea horse, spider, or weasel. Appearing in an unoccupied space within range, the familiar has the statistics of the chosen form, though it is a celestial, fey, or fiend (your choice) instead of a beast.

Additional animal form choices may be available at the DM's discretion.

Your familiar acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands. In combat, it rolls its own initiative and acts on its own turn. A familiar can't attack, but it can take other actions as normal.

Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when a creature you can see within 60 feet of yourself succeeds on an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw
Range: 60 feet
Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous

You magically distract the triggering creature and turn its momentary uncertainty into encouragement for another creature. The triggering creature must reroll the d20 and use the lower roll.

You can then choose a different creature you can see within range (you can choose yourself). The chosen creature has advantage on the next attack roll, ability check, or saving throw it makes within 1 minute. A creature can be empowered by only one use of this spell at a time.

While she is watching the others in the room, its a little hard to see where she's looking with eyes like that.

She's also hiding her amusement at the interactions Mags is having to deal with, she is resisting the urge to get involved, the poor boy has enough on his plate.

"While I agree its a good idea not to attract too much attention.. I think this group is going to do that no matter what we do so maybe we should make the most of it?"
