"The Raven" is welcomed into the building without any trouble. The man at the door ushers him into a large, though rather sparse, office.

Standing near the middle is a heavily armed human woman with a long black braid.

At the far end is a pinch faced and pale skinned half elf sitting at a large desk. He's furiously writing on a parchment concealed from Perry's view by a short partition at the moment.

Without looking up, the man flatly states, "Perry, isn't it? You can drop the disguise, this space is as safe as any. I must say, your arrival here is fortuitously timed, your group has been exceedingly difficult to keep track of ever since you liberated that castle."

"Perry, this is Morgaine. Morgaine, Perry here is a recent addition to the group I was speaking of. I cannot guarantee they'll help you, but your goals align for the most part. Its the best introduction I can make at the moment. Tymora seems to be smiling on you today."

---

Elsewhere, by both magic and more mundane means, the group is keeping track of the two tails following Poljen.

The first tail watches the barbarian enter the violet swan, then turns and slips down a side alley. He almost loses the group several times, but soon enough, he stops in a small yard hidden behind a warehouse. He appears to be meeting with a large group of heavily armed men. They look to be at least decently trained.

The second tail watches this exchange for a time, then turns to slip off in yet another direction.

Poljen grins with delight at the sight of the group of men. He is sure they intend to ambush him, most likely outside the Swan. Not even the foulest of thugs would wish to cause damage to the Swan, lest every other gang in the city take their revenge on him or her. Confident he has some time, he has Trammet continue to follow Tail #2, hoping to figure out if this is a friend or merely yet another foe.

Out of Character: : If any roll is needed, Daishain, either let me know or make it for me. Honestly, I am delighted we look to have some impending action! And so is Poljen… oh, and how much has his two trips to the Swan cost him? I know they are not free! And depending how the encounter goes, he might even make a third trip here to celebrate before they leave Baldur's Gate! .

EDIT: I also want a good count of the men… so when they appear he can count and call out he was expecting X more or something along those lines…

“Ah, your reputation precedes you, Mr. Creel,” The Raven says.

The Raven removes his hat and places it to his side. Then, the well-dressed human man seems to transform into a purple-skinned tiefling with large bat-like wings and a purple tail tipped in gold. The tiefling has two scimitars at his side and a mandolin on his back. He’s well-dressed in what appears to be noble clothing, his hair is well-groomed, and he smells of lavender.

“Hello Morgaine, it’s a pleasure to meet you,” Perry says with a bow. He turns back to the half-elf, “And hello to you as well Mr. Creel, it’s a pleasure to meet you for the first time. You have my humblest apologies, we’ve been busy… spelunking. Anyway, I assume you know why I’m here. I was tasked with setting up a meeting between you and the others, preferably somewhere where no one will hear us. Everyone is paranoid about spies and cults and whatnot lately.”

“So Morgaine, you’re looking to join the team? I haven’t fully joined yet myself. I’m more like an intern really,” Perry sighs. “You definitely look strong, however,” Perry eyes her up and down a bit. “Hmm, yes, you’ve got that “walking armory” look. Splendid! I think they will like you.”

Meanwhile, during plan Barbait…

Penelope, Mari, and lizard Velon are tailing the first group when they notice the second tail leaving. Penelope will try to eavesdrop on the group of armed men from a distance. She will signal Mari to go after the second tail just as the second tail goes to leave.

Out of Character: Welcome Susan! Also, in the second part there I'm going to roll for Perception to try and hear what the exchange is (With advantage because of the Sentinel Shield). Passive Perception is 17 if we are using that instead. I'm not sure how much of the exchange we can hear before the second tail leaves.

The Protector. says...

Tazskan, using his crystal ball continues to scry, but this time focusing on tail#1.
At the moment, he is more concerned with the threat posed to Poljen directly.

He also is paying an interest observing the large group of heavily armored men.
He prays, inwardly that a fight doesn't break out.
Tazskan, is also on the lookout, for the presence of any magic caster, in that group.

Lady of the Water says...

Morgaine, looks at Perry with her green eyes. They become a bit enlarged as she is a bit taken aback at he changes his appearance before her eyes. Not sure exactly what to do, she says, "It is nice to meet you as well, Perry." As she stands up and gives him a short nod and bow as best she can in her splint mail armor which has a few small dents here ant there. She is also wearing a cloak of Protection and has her "Club" at her side.
"I too am looking for an group of individuals, perhaps your group is looking for them as well. At least Mr. Creel here believes we may be looking for the same individuals."
"Would a meeting with your group be possible as well for me?"

Morgaine will then set quietly and wait and listen to Perry and Mr. Creel finish there chat.

Lia looks to Velon." Thank you. One day we will go. I would have you meet my mother at the least. My father you probably won't care for. For the time being I need to concentrate on the task at hand. The Realms are depending on us. "

Mari watches the two tails and shakes her head." It's never simple with us." In response to Penelope she breaks off casually to follow the second tail.

The Quiet Shadow says...

The drow doubted that you would ever be welcome among other elves such as Lia's kin, thus did not even begin imagining doing so. Zarra had a long way to go before even considering entering other elven communities.

Instead, Zarra turned to the crystal ball to being observed by Tazskan, noticing the tension felt unconcerned for Poljen and says, "Let's not worry quite yet. Though a bit reckless or stubborn at times, Poljen has proven his resiliency. I don't believe we even know the intentions of the tailed ones."

Vlizard tries to stay out of sight in Penelope's pocket, but watches her face and listens for what is going on around them. He looks at his golden lizard scales and thinks "This isn't what I pictured when Irdeith described learning to become a dragon." "They are shiny and pretty though," he continues.

Focusing back on the action, Vlizard waits patiently for something to come of this plan to… route out low level Zhentarim? "What are we doing again? We should probably be on our way to recover another mask by now," he thinks, letting out a low grunt of displeasure for Penelope to hear. When Mari is sent off to follow the second tail, another low grunt can be heard. "Splitting the party five ways here, excellent." Grunt.

Vlizard gets wind that Penelope has spotted something interesting but resists the urge to peak out of the pocket. He assumes if he is to exit the pocket and the polymorph removed, it will be because there is trouble. He thus prepares himself and his magic for some action, but is distracted by a small fly buzzing by. His tongue darts out of the pocket in a flash, capturing the meal.

"Hm, not bad, actually." Vlizard smiles up at Perry.
