Velon follows eventually, trying to be casual about it, slowly opening the door and slipping inside. He turns to see no sign of 'Penelope', having missed the transformation, and instead a tiefling complete with purple skin, horns, wings and a tail.

Surprised, he exclaims "Holy!..." and pulls his warhammer off of his back. Seeing that there is no fight actually happening however he lowers his weapon slowly and simply says "Ah, um, sorry… hi… nice… scarf?" It comes out more as a question than a statement as his confusion fades and he slowly starts to piecing together what is going on. Although sometimes quick with a sarcastic comment at a friend's expense, he never claimed to be the most quick witted or worldy member of the group!

The stranger would see a man fully clad in plate armor and adorned with various weapons, a necklace, a distinct belt and a golden chain of some sort worn like a sash. Although not nearly as large as Poljen, his overall bulk is close when wearing all of this equipment. He has an outline of Bahamut on the shield and in blue on an otherwise golden tabbard. Nothing about the man is subtle, from his expressions to the messy, fiery red hair and beard that contrast distinctly with the clean lines and polish of his gear.

Lia nods to her friends. "I must hear what she has to tell us." She waits for her turn to try to inconspicuously head towards the private room. Judging from the expressions on the faces of patrons that she observes she is failing at that. This gown of course isn't the best to blend in she thinks.

She waves to the others as she takes a seat in the room. Penelope will see a tall, breathtaking Wood Elf with copper skin. She has long, lustrous black hair that hangs down to her lower back and shimmering green eyes. Her eyes are matched by the skin tight gown that she is currently clad in. An amulet with a symbol of a beautiful red haired woman hangs on a necklace around her neck.

LIa devotes her full attention to the stranger. As he speaks and begins to change form she tenses up cautiously. She has guiding bolt on her lips prepared to strike him if necessary.

As he changes into his natural form a slight smile is visible on her face. She can be heard by those sitting close to her to mutter, "Damn, not again." She looks to the others that knew the previous tiefling bard in the group with a smile.

Poljen simply grins when Nikolaos reveals his ruse, and raises his pitcher to the bard with a quiet, "Nicely played." Then the joins the group in the back room. At Penelope's revealing of her own… well, his own ruse, Poljen begins to scowl. He finally growls, "If you knew anything about the Silver Blaze, you should be aware we do not take kindly to being duped, no matter the reasoning behind it. Consider this one strike against you. Now tell us the real reason you wish to speak with us. Or leave." He sets the pitcher down, after draining it, and rests a hand on the hilt of his great axe.

As Poljen lays down the law, Poppo speaks up and says, "The group needs to know it can trust you and disguising yourself is worrisome. It was a good trick though. Where did you learn how to do it? I am working on something similar but haven't perfected it yet. Perhaps Lawrance can give me some pointers. What made you decide on Penelope? Do you use that disguise all the time or is it just one you thought up? Penelope is a nice name. Do you have a relative named Penelope? I have a third cousin named Penelope Tosscobble. She's quite a laugh, I can tell you. One time she.... "

Chasorth inclines her head from the other side of the portal, "Well met Sir Cratol. I understand the others are in Adbarrim? That is fine, just let them know when they return."

"We have received word on an interesting lead from the Harpers. The current holder of the title White Wyrmspeaker is apparently a dwarf named Varram Ironjaw, though he calls himself Varram the White now. The castle you took from the cult was until that point managed by him."

"A man matching Varram's description was recently seen in the village of Boareskyr Bridge. He and a relatively small contingent of men were resupplying for some manner of expedition into the Serpent Hills. It is probable that they are seeking the White Mask or something of similar importance to make up for the loss of Castle Skyreach. That mask is after all supposed to be destined for him as far as his beliefs run."

"We hope to send a group after them to investigate, and believe that you are likely the best suited to the task. Please ask the others if they would be willing."

"I should warn you, the region in question is overrun by naga tribes. It is very unlikely Varram and his men would be the only threat you would face."

Perry turns to Poljen with a look of understanding and says, “Listen, I’m sorry for tricking you, but at least I tried my best to be upfront about it. It’s not like I joined your party and then, you know, weeks or months down the road I was like, “Surprise! I’m a demon!” That would just be rude! Who would ever do such a thing?”

Suddenly, Perry is startled when a large, well-armored man bursts into the room. The man freaks out and immediately pulls out his warhammer before awkwardly complimenting Perry’s scarf. “See, see!” Perry exclaims, “That right there is precisely why I prefer to walk around as Penelope!”

Perry then turns to Lia and, upon seeing her smile, he says, “You must be Lia, the beauty of Sune,” he bows, “I see that not even that title does your beauty justice. I greatly enjoyed writing that song about you, and I hope you'll forgive me for doing so without your permission.”

Perry then looks at the halfling quizzically and laughs, “I chose Penelope mainly because I wanted a name somewhat similar to my own in structure. Ah, actually that reminds me.”

Perry then turns to the group as a whole, “Where are my manners? I haven’t properly introduced myself! My name is Peregrine Maximillian Cornelius Pennington, but my friends call me Perry,” he gives a wink and a smile, “I hail from a noble family from the city of Neverwinter. My father and mother are Remington and Victoria, respectively. Everything I’ve told you so far about my motives has been true, I promise. I’m a performer and a storyteller who wishes to spread the good word of the Silver Blaze by way of poetry and song! I wish to join you on your adventures if you’ll have me.”

“I’m not much of a fighter honestly, but I do dabble in bardic magics. I can inspire a crowd and I’m skilled at charming creatures of all kinds. I learned much of what I know from my time in the Feywild, training with my master. I think that just about covers the important bits. Feel free to subjugate me to any manner of spell to verify my integrity. I will not resist.”.

Cratol listens as Lady Chasorth explains what they have to say and the possibility of finding another mask and get it to the good dragons. "Lady Chasorth I will make sure the others knows about this dwarf and his party heading in the serpent hills. I believe that we would much enjoy heading to take the joy of robbing this evil cult of another mask. I hope the others are back tonight and we can discuss this proposal together and get back to you tomorrow. Thank you my lady."

Lawrance stumbles a bit upon entering, seeing the overly large Tiefling in the room. Seeing no one other than Velon with a weapon out, who had immediately preceded him, he narrows his eyes, wary of spells in effect. With a sudden gesture, he cast a Dispel Magic on the hulking figure, suspecting more than a simple disguise.
Specific Action: Dispel Magic - all 3rd level spells drop, anything higher resists DC 10+level vs My roll.
