Each of the groups meets at a tavern in Plateau City, having arrived separately both recognize the other from their trips to the Giggling Ghost. Introducing themselves they all discover that they are all headed to Float City, the actual home of The Giggling Ghost, that legendary tavern they have only visited in their dreams. Having had time to get some food and a couple drinks, the groups decide to travel together no longer being up to what they used to be, and friends are always welcome. While talking they all have a token good for one teleport to or from float City appear in front of them with a small flash of magic, apparently taking care of the cost of their teleport, for this trip at least. As the time approaches that the Teleporter to Float City will be going off the Group pays their bill and makes their way to the building that contains the magical device to transport them to float City. The Building is huge, it has a couple person sized doorways, but the outsized freight door is impressive. It measures 50' wide and 20' tall, it folds open in 4 sections making an opening big enough for just about anything that might need to be shipped. You each hand over the token for the teleport. A female elf says "Please remember to stay in the Blue zone, it is for your safety when entering or leaving the area. Have a safe trip." You can see the floor of the big warehouse is painted in four colors. one area is blue with a path leading in and out of the teleporter, with red slash lines in the blue path to the area where you are to stand. The other areas are Green and Yellow with red boxing the other colors as well. in the Green area is a pair of wagons with horses still attached. The yellow area has a few dozen crates of differing sizes stacked in it. In the Blue area are the what you assume are the two drovers for the wagons. The elf starts counting down, " 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1......" The wold goes dark, you feel like you are being squeezed in from every side at the same time, and it's a whole lot of squeezing. then suddenly you can see, not each other but it's white, like an endless room, in all white. you can't tell if time is moving, as you have no reference to determine one way or the other. After some amount of time it goes black again, the squeezing feeling once more takes effect on each of you. There's a very loud Popping sound, although you are not sure if it's just in your head or not. and you are once again standing in a blue area, but it's not the same one you were in, so you assume you are now in Float City. Just past the end of the red slashed blue walkway is a fat little gnome sitting on a tall stool behind a desk with a pair of really beefy looking guards standing near him., he has a quill in his hand and is briskly writing on a parchment while taking to one of the drovers, the other drover is already driving his wagon out of the building. You also notice that at least 20% of the crates have already been moved as well.
Do you get in line, make a break for the door or try to sneak out?

Evaris Wednesday June 17th, 2015 3:44:19 PM
Smiling, Evaris steps up to wait in line. "Ah, bureaucracy. Isn't it nice that it's the same no matter where you go?"
Roel stumps along beside Evaris, leaning on a cane. "Don't know what they think they're looking for," he grumbles. "Do they think theives and ruffians are just going to announce themselves?"
[OOC: I thought the official name of the place was "The Floating City." And that "The Float" was a nickname. I've never seen it called "Float City" before. Is that new? Or am I missing something?]
Edson Kazil(Shawn), AC 26,Touch AC 19, Flatfooted AC 12, HP 57/57 Wednesday June 17th, 2015 4:04:00 PM
Edson looked at the line, and then back at Barratore.
"Judging for best in show Barry, I hear your the front runner."
As he is joking, his eyes are scanning the line and exit. Growing up in the thieves guild, his thieving mind was screaming to get out of there. He had to choke it down a bit, and push forward. He was with friends, old and new and had to trust in doing it the right way.
He moved up behind Evaris and waited in line.
Ariach AC 29/15 touch/19 AC, CMD23; HP 89/89 Wednesday June 17th, 2015 4:58:41 PM
Ariach gets in line too. He is completely convinced that Roel´s comment is absolutely inappropriate. "The man is just doing his job. A very important one to maintain law and order. It´s thanks to men like him that our wold doesn´t descend into total chaos."

The transport to the Floating City was not fun. Arriving in the Floating City, Brom just stands in line and waits to get through the line faster. Brom doesn't say anything, but does keeps an eye on the scene occuring around them.

"Well that sucked more than a little" Barratore states to no one in particular. "Next time we walk" The minotaur glances about, notices they all seemed to have arrived and that is about it. [Perception 6] The others fall in line and he sighs, rolling his eyes and giving a sharp snort to Ariach's statement. Barratore glances down at Edson, not sure whether the humor was also an insult. Maybe he should hit him just in case. Barratore feels his left fist clench and his shoulder start to engage. His weight shifts slightly to his right foot and his hips turn out.
He then thinks better of it. Others would likely get all too excited and such. First impressions Barratore. You only get to make a few of them. Metascar's training and instruction resound in his memory.
So, Barratore takes and releases a great breath of air loudly and attempts to summon the reserves of his patiance

The gnome finally finishes up with the second drover with a "thump-thump"of a hand-held stamp on two pieces of parchment on his desk. He hands one to the drover and then looks up, seemingly seeing the group for the first time. Sense motive DC 28 Highlight to display spoiler: { He seems to thinking, "oh joy more visitors"} He smiles to the party, "Welcome to Float City, My name is Maximilian Burke. It's my job to clear people before entering our fine city. Are all of you traveling together or are you here separately?" He starts counting out sheets of some form, two for each group member. He starts with the questions after he gets a response.... "Name? Reason for visiting our fine City?"

Brom never much of a conversationalist hears the gnomes questions and with brief very short answers answers the questions.
"Yes." "Brom." "Movin' here."
After that, he looks down at Maximilian Burke waiting. (Local KS is for what Brom should expect during this process.)

(Sense Motive: 24, natural 1. i see the die roller is still cursed.)
Unusually quiet, Emrys stands back with perfect posture as his twinkling eyes scrutinize the surroundings and these people who are his friends. In all his glorious preeminence, Emrys seems slightly perplexed. Everything seems perfectly prim and proper, but odd at the same time. He can't put his silken finger upon it.
"My dear, Barratore." He says with the warmest of smiles, "No need to be so taut. Roel was most certainly jesting. Remember the last unfortunate soul that received one of your hallmark pummelings? He is still hearing colors, poor fellow."
Emrys steps forward elegantly with his fanciful walking stick, which appears to be dotted with blossoms as though it were still living. His warmth and loveliness, all aglow, shines for all to bask within. With a deep bow to Mister Burke, he introduces himself. (Diplomacy: 31) "My name is Emrys Myrridanmyl, younger Lord of Culverheart. I travel here with my friends seeking love, lore and adventure. We could use your brilliant and expert guidance.

Brom: (perc)The Drovers are all signed in and are starting to leave the warehouse, only moments after you've arrived. (KL)Clerks are usually petty and can be vindictive if irritated. Emrys: (Diplo) You seem to sway his irritation towards the friendlier mark, but hearing you announce yourself as younger lord of Culverheart off set most of the gain you made.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The fat old gnome starts taking names, flipping between pages as he writes the information on each page, mumbling as he does so... "Brom, no last name, wonderful. Emigrating, perfect.....
Evaris Leafgreen, servant with him, Roel Trexler. Adventurer, even better....
Ariach Gatelatch Here to solve all our problems.....
Emrys Myrridanmyl, younger Lord of Culverheart, wonderful some sort of Nobility. Another Adventurer....
Lanliss Drakeguard, at least not another noble person. yet another adventurer....
Edson Kazil Smart aleck, like we need more of them in the city with the guilds around...."
He then looks at the group and you can tell he dreads asking the next series of questions on his entrance list. "Length of Stay? Current source of income? We don't allow unproductive folks to enter Float City.?"
You can see a few more questions on his list, or at least you hope it's only a few more questions....
Barratore Steelwind (Dan K) AC: 33 (T 14 FF 26), CMD: 31; HP: 106/106Character Sheet Friday June 19th, 2015 5:40:18 PM
Barratore bares his teeth to Emrys, the minotaur version of smile. "That one deserved it." He says in a friendly tone. To the Gnome he answers, "I am Barratore Steelwind of the Starlight Clan and member of the Woldian League of Adventurers. I was presented this path to the Floating City by Gargul."
At the next set of questions he looks to the others and then back to the gnome."Not sure how long I will be here and the Woldian League is my source of income."
Edson Kazil(Shawn), AC 26,Touch AC 19, Flatfooted AC 12, HP 57/57 Friday June 19th, 2015 6:23:35 PM
Edson looks at the others, obviously at a loss for words about their stay.
" Eh.. as for the income. Brom and Barry have deep pockets, and are quite forgetful when drinking. "
Ariach AC 29/15 touch/19 AC, CMD23; HP 89/89 Saturday June 20th, 2015 7:48:22 AM
What does the gnome expect to achieve by these comments? Ariach has no idea but he knows that he doesn´t like Mr. Burke´s sarcasm.
"Either you are very busy or you are just a very unfriendly person. The first will be excused, the second never."
Emrys Myrridanmyl ac10 hp46/46 d20+15=34 ; Saturday June 20th, 2015 9:12:47 AM
Emrys shows only a slight degree of displeasure with the little gnome's attitude. Being quite fluent in the gnome language, he quietly tries to discern the gnomes origins by his accent (Linguistics: 34).
He then says, in the gnomish language, a well-known gnomish proverb about having a sour outlook on life, "Ekkin gera hissa á að findna mold í eyrun ef þú ferð í toadyy fyrir hatte." (Which roughly translates to, 'Don't be surprised to find mold in your ears if you wear a toadstool for a hat.'

After watching the gnome and the exchanges with the others, Brom lets out a sigh. Emrys had a way of putting you down without you knowing it, always a sharp-as-knives tongue. Edson always with the tongue as well, he was not as sweet talking when he was talking down at you. Brom wasn't sure this was the best time for a show of his witty vocabulary or the other sharp witted comments, but then again Brom had his own not so subtle issues...
"Yeah, no last name. Is that a problem." He says in a statement more than a question.
"Length of stay? Didn't I just answer that?"
"Don't have one. I...just...moved...here." He says with some impatience in this voice.
Evaris Saturday June 20th, 2015 12:29:15 PM
Roel harrumphs a little at the "servant" remark, but lets it pass.
"Our length of stay is presently undetermined," Evaris replies. "And we are independently wealthy. I trust that will not be a problem."

Lanliss looks at the group, each at turn talking with the gnome. he slaps his hand to the face, thinking to himself in a monologue .. Why didn't I sneak, why ?....in a few moments I could ..... He suddenly starts to speak In gnomish remembering he actually knows Gnome language but just not used to speak it.
"Length of Stay? probably indefinitely Lanliss says and smiles, and we are going to do some business for the Woldian League of Adventures mind you so you can assume that adventures always bring some form of wealth to the place they stay. Well then can we go now ? Lanliss asks politely

The grumpy Gnome seems a a lot put off as Emrys verbalizes an insult towards him. He looks to his left. "Bruno, please escort him to the secure room, and do a through search of him, pay careful attention to any produce or animals, or parts there of, as there may be a fine for smuggling involved." The big beefy half-orc puts his hand on Emrys' shoulder and points towards a doorway, gives him a toothy grin that doesn't suggest happiness and says, "In there, now."
The gnome is a bit calmer as Lanliss speaks, "There one like him every few days, for some reason, they either never come back, or have a much better attitude on their next trip. Now, you mentioned something about the WLA. They aren't exactly the popular, but then again most organizations aren't either." He pulls a small flask out from his portable desk and takes a huge drink from it, you can't smell booze though. "Any produce or animals to declare? Just last week someone smuggled in a monkey and well, it got messy, they only just caught it day before yesterday. People just don't understand why we have regulations."
Ariach AC 29/15 touch/19 AC, CMD23; HP 89/89 Monday June 22nd, 2015 3:37:28 PM
Although Ariach doesn´t know what Emrys has said to the gnome in his native tongue, he knows the bard long enough to trust him blindly. Therefore he will not accept such a behavior from Mr. Burke.
As the half-orc puts his hand on Emrys´ shoulder, Ariach steps next to his friend. One hand at his flail, he looks sharply at the half-orc and slowly shakes his head, as a sign for the half breed not to continue.

Lanliss gets the Helm he got from the Orc by the courtesy of Lady Bug. (description is on the very bottom end of the character sheet).
He then takes a berry from his backpack and gives it to the helm. the helm eats it. This is a living helmet, it's not dangerous. Lanliss says in Gnomish.
He then continues to speak We need Emrys in our group, he is a valuable member and I think he just had a bad day.....I think it's all a big misunderstanding.

Evaris pitches his voice to carry.
"Friends, please," he says. "We seem to have gotten off on the wrong foot. There's no need for us to be at odds. I'm sure Emrys is willing to apologize for his remarks, and I'm sure that my other friends won't do anything hasty with their weapons. And I'm sure that good Master Burke will realize that there's no reason to detain or search any of us, as we want only the best for the Floating City."

(Diplomacy: 29, directed at Burke)
"My comment meant no disrespect at all. In fact, it baffles me that one would become offended. I merely stated well-known Gnomish proverb, an expression with deep roots, originating from ancient Fey oral traditions. A timeless axiom many gnomes live by today, quite happily I have you. Surely, Mister Burke knows this to be true. Did I use improper enunciation? If I did, then I am deeply sorry. It's been too long since I spoke the gnomish tongue."
(Diplomacy: 42, directed at Bruno.) Emrys then turns his attention to the heavy hand on his shoulder and Ariach. "Ariach, thank you, but it isn't necessary. Bruno is only doing his job," he then turns and looks up at the muscular half-orc, "and a job he is doing very well. I don't wish Mister Burke to get Bruno in trouble for not doing his job." Emrys looks back up to Bruno again and says in the Orc language, "You are big, strong and very intimidating. Your voice sent a chill down my spine." He places his delicate hand on Bruno's and says with the warmest of smiles, "Let's go to your room, dear Bruno. I don't wish to deprive you any further." His warm expression doesn't contain the least bit of fear, more like a cat spying on a canary.
(ooc: there was no mention of Emrys' failure or success at identifying the gnomes homeland by his accent.)

Brom watches it all go down. He is prepared to step in and aid his friend. Before he has a chance to act, Emrys seems to diffuse the situation. Once done, Brom takes his turn and answers the annoying gnome's question.
"No." He says in response.

"The famous gnomish bureaucracy seems to be thriving" Barratore says it without thinking twice. he was beginning to think Gargul had a horrible sense of humor. He snorts as the one called Bruno puts his hand on Emrys's shoulder, but he knows a man doing his job and so unless Bruno gets over enthusiastic about it, Barratore did not plan on jumping in.
Barratore nods in agreement with Brom, "No." he states flatly to the gnome

Edson hand instinctly goes to his kuhkri, but even he is taken for by Emrys's diplomatic demeanor.
Turning to the gnome he answers "No" very direct, his eyes never leaving the half orc.
Co-DM John Tuesday June 23rd, 2015 1:32:19 PM
Ariach puts his hand on the haft of his flail and steps to block the Half-Orc from his duty. Lanliss states the party's need of Emrys. Evaris begs forgiveness for the group and any actions that may have been misconstrued. Emrys goes Diplomatic on Max and Bruno. Peza makes herself apparent and joins the chorus. Brom prepares to aid Emrys. Barratore figures it's just bureaucracy at work. Edson puts his had to his weapon, but replies to his questions....
The Half-Orc known as Bruno says, "I appreciate the complements, but I have my job to do and my boss will be very irritated if I don't follow Mr' Burke's directions. Now, please just go to the examination room where I can do my search for contraband and then you'll be right back here to finish answering questions, I don't plan on hurting anyone, and not to make any threats, but you are on Float City It is just after the last teleport for the day. Unless you can completely vanish, please don't cause a ruckus, it's more a hassle than anything else." He again indicates the door to a room at the side of the warehouse.
The Gnome watches the exchange and hears the others engage him in Diplomatic overtures. "It's been a very long day, and my patience is gone. There was someone who tried to smuggle in a couple pets, pets that if they escaped they'd be almost impossible to recapture. Then there was a man who wanted to bring a whole traveling circus to Float City yesterday, the nightmare that would be was thankfully decided at a level higher than me. The responsibilities continue even after people are here, that's why we are so through in our questions, and your friend, He leafs through papers and finds the name, Emrys, just happened to draw my ire, but once I've decided someone requires a close search, it's easier to do the search than the forms to cancel the search, as long as he doesn't have any proscribed items, namely produce or animals." He has a couple other minor questions, which he writes down on the sheets.
Waiting to find out if Emrys allows the search.....

"Hear that? Broms looking for the tavern already, means only one thing. Drinks are on him all night."
While being searched in private, Emrys cooperates most willingly and tries to make the experience as pleasant as possible. He strikes up some friendly chit chat. If Bruno shows profound interest in any particular item, Emrys weaves a fascinating tale about its acquisition. Of course, if the bard chooses to employ a little artistic license in his story, to inspire awe and wonder, he will do so sparingly. (Perform [Oratory]: 39)
Emrys shows interest in Bruno by asking him questions about his job and life in the Floating City. Things like: "Any family here? How are his accommodations? What is the most interesting thing you've found on someone?" "What happens to contraband once it's gathered ... do you get to keep any of it?" "Who is your boss? I'd like to tell him about the wonderful job you're doing!"

Barratore mostly agrees with Brom, "Want to drop gear somewhere first though, or at least know where to drop gear before you start buying drinks."
Barratore takes his lead from the others and just tries to get through the place without overly cheesing off the gnome. The little man reminded him a bit of Gerox and that sudden thought causes him to chuckle out aloud and mumble, "Damned little gnome"
Co-DM John Wednesday June 24th, 2015 1:32:42 PM
To Emrys questions Bruno only answers one, "My Boss, his name is Markus Simpson, he's Chief Adviser to the Overlord, and in general is responsible for security of Float City." _____________________________________________________________________________
After about 5 or 6 minutes, Bruno escorts his back to the rest of the group. "He's clear." is all he says to the Gnome. He then retakes his position guarding Mr Burke.
The Gnome sorts through the papers and files them away, he then lifts the desk top and pulls out another stack of papers. "OK, since this is your first trip to Float City, we have a few more things to discuss. First, here." He hands one sheet to each member of the group. "First: You can defend yourself in Float City, there is harsh penalties for starting fights, it usually involves time spent working on the trash level. Not really somewhere decent people want to be. Second: We are coming up on Mask Day, all residents partake in it. It's our method of selecting those who work for the City, in various jobs, from Advisers at the top to the Cleaning crews and guards for those who break our laws. I suggest making your way to The Masque, it is the premiere Mask Shop in Float City and the proprietor there is well versed on the Day and it's events. Lastly: While homes can be leased or even purchased, Float City only has two Inns. There is Message in a Bottle Tavern, on this level and a grubby pit on the Fence Level called The Giggling Ghost. I wouldn't reccomend the Ghost, it's not a great place to stay."

So where are we going folks, Lanliss asks the party. He adds after that. I would like to see the masks at The Masque, sound nice to buy a mask for a mask festival, it might help us in the future.

Ariach is relieved that finally everything went well. "If it´s a custom we should buy a mask. But why should a mask be helpful for us in the future?" Ariach is anxious to hear Lanliss´answer.

"I'm always lookin' fer a tavern. Ya know that." He says in response to Edson. "Don't think you can weasel yur way inta free drinks from me. Buy yur own."
"Okay, let's drop off our stuff first, then." he says to Barratore.
"Yeah a good mask. A demon mask or some other beast. Now that sounds like my kind of mask."

"We can make our way to the tavern .... take up a temporary residence .... while we figure out what we will do here ... then we can rent/lease a place more to our needs "
"then we can visit the masque .... this could be fun .... i wonder if there is meaning behind different types of masks "

"By all means," Evaris agrees. "Let us sample the hospitality of the Message in a Bottle before going forth to procure masks! What manner of masks are available, do you think?"
Evaris accompanies his companions as they leave the odd little gnome.

As they leave, Emrys pauses by Bruno and says in orc, "We all rest secure knowing you're on guard. If you find yourself in a tavern after work, have a fine meal and drinks, on me." Emrys takes two gold coins from his pocket and places them in Bruno's hand.
(ooc: I personally don't know the cost of living in Floating City, but the PHB says 2 gold is a day's wage for a skilled artisan. That should afford him a big steak dinner and drinks, and plenty left over for a tip.)
As they speak of masks, Emrys replies, "I've heard of this masked event, but not much more. Sounds quite mysterious if you ask me... but it feels almost criminal to deprive others my lovely face?"

" Brom, you say that now, but when your knee deep in empty tankards everyone in the room drinks on your copper."
" Only thieves hide behind masks, so lets keep our wits and coin purses in check."
