A relaxed evening in the city that loathes halflings

by Marya Silverstring

Sooo Rosohna
And it's pretty darn weird here
Heck they have glowing lanterns everywhere here, like actual magical lights
Loads of dwarves, duergar, tieflings and other folk
And pretty much no halflings, welp that's gonna be fun
Yeah humans (so Vera/Silver) and me stand out here
Oh and did I mention it's decently dark outside?
 
And it seems we might crash at Komaria's family, either mother or brother
Oh and did I mention that people around here seem to be suspicious and weirdly racist about halflings?
So I'm the only person that has to disguise themselves
Very much thank you people for considering that before teleporting us
So gotta pull down that hood and braid my hair as a freaking beard
Halfway decent beard there
Darn.....
Place is also called Gordranis
 
We're heading pretty straight to the upper class district from the way stuff looks
Have a quick run in with some guards, but get away from them without any major issue
Zintris is a little weird when we cross one certain house
After some time we get to Komaria's place
And it seems like we're all shoved into the kitchen, the whole big group
And the mom is called Jaxi
Some talking about their families follows
 
So it seems we're going to a concert instead of hunkering down
And they ask for a badge of diplomatic immunity for me
Immediately outing me as a halfling
No badge, but we can take make-up
Seems like she's really hesitant because of the place we come from
 
Anyway, Komaria wants to see her brother who provided the Pahla intel before
And he is gonna play in a concert this evening
Though I really don't feel like exposing myself there
Luckily, Melech wants to look after his family
Pretty much everyone else goes to the concert but without weapons
Okay Zintris takes her blade with her openly, but that's about it
Melech and I are kind of dragged into helping with cooking dinner while the others go
 
Komaria brings a random kid to the house
Seemingly the dawn princess, the queen's daughter
