<Kotono> ----
<Kotono> > OOC: Sure. Bluff.
<Kotono> <Moore> roll 1d20+18
<Kotono> <Serith> Moore roll for Serith < 28 > [d20=10]
<Kotono> > roll 1d20+10 actually has a shot
<Kotono> <Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 14 > [d20=4]
<Kotono> > "Oh. That's not what I expected," The man goes on over, "I'm not even sure why this batch failed."
<Kotono> <Moore> "Well, maybe I can take a look at it for you. I'm sure if you could perfect it..." Moore considers, then looks at Pepo. "Maybe we could use it to flavor all sorts of things."
<Kotono> <Pepo> 'It would be interesting,' Pepo agrees, willing to investigate a bit further.
<Kotono> > The man shrugs and then gestures, "Come on in," he says, going to the door and inside.
<Kotono> <Moore> Moore will nod and follow the man!
<Kotono> The trio go inside. Inside is a warm and comfortable laboratory. It's warm without a fire or any sign of heat. in one corner is a table and chairs, which is where you're taken amid the magical equipment. On the table is a box full of more dust. "Take a look," he offers.
<Moore> Moore looks to Pepo for verification on the smell, but will actually cast a Detect Magic this time to see if there's anything magical about the dust at all.
<Pepo> Pepo gives it a sniff!
<Kotono> Oh, it smells amazing! Like the freshest fish! Like the magical, wonderful fish he came into this world with.
<Kotono> OOC: Spellcraft, Moore.
<Moore> roll 1d20+14
<Moore> OOC: Right.
<Kotono> OOC: Go for it.
<Pepo> 'Fish... incredible fish!' Pepo reports, starting to purr and salivate.
<Moore> roll 1d20+14
<Rei-chan>  6,0Moore rolled : 6,0 1d20+14 -->  6,0[ 1d20=18 ] 4,0{32}
<Kotono> Oh, this is rather neat. It's dust that mimics prestigidation's flavor changing effect. It's cheap, reasonable and works - but it's not finished yet. The spell's unstable, crammed too far and too ambitiously.
<Moore> "Ah. I think... I think I see where your problem is. It's still unstable because you're pushing it too far." Moore announces. "But this is a spell I know inside and out, so I can probably help you perfect the dust." He says with a smile.
<Kotono> The man rubs his chin, "That's generous of you," he remarks, "What do you want out of it?"
<Moore> Moore looks to Pepo for confirmation. "Well, I mean... I can already cast the spell, so... maybe free samples of the different flavors?"
<Kotono> "I can do that," he rubs his chin, idly reaching out to pet Pepo. "Plus we have a taste-tester right here."
<Pepo> Pepo purrs agreeably. Finally something worthwhile in this city.
<Kotono> The man shrugs and shifts - his features change. He's a young man with sharp, regal features and long, curly brown hair. He wears puffy white pants and a scarlet tunic along with a red sash. "Name's Lekim Wanderroot. The common people know me and bother me, so a little bit of magic is used to blend in."
<Moore> "Ah! Well, you can call me Moore, and this is Pepo." He says with a smile. If Lekim hasn't heard of them... well, that's not a huge deal.
<Kotono> "Oooooh!" He stops then, mid-pet on Pepo. He then eyes them anew, "Two of the heroes of the hour," he remarks, "You brought that gem back."
<Moore> "Ah... haha, yes, that's us!" Moore confirms, still smiling. "But we really... well, we helped as much as anyone else in the city did."
<Kotono> "Hmmm." At this he strokes his chin, "Say, what exactly is your group?"
<Moore> "How would you like me to answer that question?" Moore asks. "I mean, there are a few interpretations."
<Kotono> "Are you looking for new members, or are your mages looking for apprentices?" he asks, meeting Moore's eyes.
<Pepo> OOC: I still have read thoughts, what's his motivation?
<Kotono> OOC:  You can feel he's interested. He sees a chance to get on board with winners and get out of his rut.
<Pepo> 'He's looking to move up in the world,' Pepo tells Moore. 'Though I don't know if he'd impress Lucy enough to be an apprentice. Up to you,' he leaves it in Moore's hands.
<Moore> Moore looks over at Pepo and then back to Lekim. "I think we can always use talented individuals to join with us. However, we most likely will be working with the city for some time unless something calls us away from here... Would that still be acceptable to you, or do you just want to get out of here entirely?"
