Meeting a queen in her pjs

by Marya Silverstring

Oh yeah part of the group just brought us the local princess
Aaand it's not an honorary title, more like actual nobility
Komaria and Zintris randomly found here in an alley and she said she killed her parents
And her name is Velina Kryn and maybe adopted?
Instead of getting the guard they actually brought the girl here รด.o
 
Seems like Komaria knows a guard called Greg that could help?
But otherwise Zintris actually seems like she wants us to get involved?
After some back and forth at least Komaria sees my point
Little girl or not, if she's in trouble with the local government, it's her issue, not ours
Our people were in enough shit recently and I will not endanger anyone in the group for her
And Zintris still wants to talk to here....~~~~
 
So we take the girl to a room to talk
The girl hesitates when confirming her name
She mentions another name "Vamwaeline Mithrilspine"
Dwarven name
Walked out of her room when people weren't looking
Seemingly has memories of the other person name, so more or less the same dilema as with Komaria and Zintris
No consecution for her though
Aaand she wants back
 
Finally we agree on getting the child back
So off to the cathedral we go
Get there pretty easily and without major issues
We see a royal guard on the way there and Komaria casually calls her out as Koana (?)
And as soon as she sees us she takes the girl in her arms via an Echo
Seems like it's the dusk captain, the queen's partner O.o
 
We quickly explain how we found the child and Komaria and Zintris put forth the whole consecution stuff as an explanation who we are
Okay and the rest of us are 'friends'
We're asked inside
Also Seb and Vera are busy?
At least they left the bar together earlier
 
So we go into the cathedral
And we get brought to the queen? o.o'''
Yep definitely gonna meet her and Koana is gonna wake her up for us so we can explain ourselves
And that's a queen in a nightgown and a cloak, didn't expect that O.o
She also seems pretty annoyed with the whole situation
For the meeting we get brought into a proper throneroom, holy heck oo'
And there's a huge beacon
Doesn't even stop there, there are more people coming in
Seems like they want to locate Seb and Vera as well
Essek scries Seb and seems very embarrased when it concludes
Very suspicious....
 
Then the mage teleports away, probably to get Seb?
After a couple of minutes he's back with Seb and Vera
Heck Seb is carrying Vera O.o
Those two didn't actually....
Or did they?
 
Quick zone of truth that's cast on us
Anyway, we all get to introductions
Aaaand of course they get curious about the affiliation to the Myriad I have
Also Vera is actually kind of affiliated with the Cobalt Soul
Though hey at least I didn't have to say anything about the Fey Pact or about the dragon
When they get to Silver, of course they're cautious about that
And after we're through, there's Molly there with us or Marloth or whatever
 
Aaaand Melech talks about the dragon in a general manner...... >.<
Goddamn idiot >.<
We mention the Myriad parts that wants us dead as well
And I quickly swear that I won't conduct any "business" in their lands
When the mage then asks about our work experience and other skills, pretty much only Melech doesn't have anything crime related
 
Then it's questions about the Dawn princess and what she told us
So we provide
And we're sworn to secrecy
Mostly in regards to the original identity of their daughter
We should gather here again tomorrow
 
Also if anyone is asking about me, a halfling, being here, I can tell them to take it up with Leylas Kryn
After some more talking then out we go
 
Vera seems to know about the Mithrilspine family
It's something with royalty
Aaand yep Seb and Vera definitely had intimate relations with each other
Marloth tries to get to get Zintris to visit her other family?
After Seb and Vera split off, Seb is also carrying her again
Yep that's gonna be awkward in the future, potentially really awkward
 
After that it's a long rest and a night of sleep
And I had the room for myself, neat
After some quick breakfast we then get to the lucid bastion
 
After a little wait time Seb and Vera also show up
This time there are more people in the throne room
Yep seems to be a full court
We get fancy cloaks and broaches which show the emblem of Kryn Dynasty, the dodecahedron
Just to make it clear that we're connected to and allowed here
We're very officially guests
In exchange we need to spend a little bit of time with Essek
Also for the moment they have a temporary arrangement at the edge of the firnament for us
And if we want to provide further aid and prove loyalty, then we'll be provided access to their smiths for armor and weapons as well as clothes
Seemingly they're expanding their population continously, but they're just slowly getting into the dungeon called the shadow shire
We can help with expanding into there and when doing this the families of Melech and Zintris would get houses there
Seems like we're kind of taking this job I guess?
Seb sidesteps jobs in regards to the war though, which is fair
With that we take our cloaks and broaches
 
So we get shown to our house and the mage sticks with us
It's a small house that will easily be filled up with the amount of people we have
Okay 6 rooms, but it's only for us, not for the families
First one being questioned is of course me, but it kind of works out okay I guess?
Only provide general info about previous jobs, though no names & locations, though I mention the dragon egg job
And once again, thankfully the whole fey stuff doesn't come up
And of course he spends a lot of time with Silver
Vera is also in there for quite some time
Sometime within Vera's time Silver also disappears again
 
Seems like not too many of us divulged too much stuff
Though Melech pretty much told him everything except for the dragon stuff
And Zintris was also very much open with stuff
Melech offers the option for confessions I guess, at least he offered to Seb
 
So after that it's off to shopping for us~
