Lucy's magnificent rod (Lucy)

[Corwin]

"Would you like some company, Mister Gold? I'm always eager to meet fresh suppliers of knowledge, and if I could be of service in some small part to the ventures of Aurora's officers, all the better!"

[Anastasia]

"Yes, tomorrow, before Aurora's offensive start in earnest," Gold says. "It is a holy place, one where your kind rarely tread. Is that a problem for you?"

[Corwin]

"It is a rare moment when I have problems with anyone," Lucy assures him.

[Anastasia]

Gold lets that one lie. Instead he says, "Alright."

[Corwin]

"Do you have any instructions for me, while we're there?"

[Anastasia]

"Mind your manners," Gold says, leaning forward, "Be respectful."

[Corwin]

"Most certainly, Mister Gold!"

[Anastasia]

Okay, anything else to chat with him about?

[Corwin]

It's okay, I can talk to him while we're away

[Anastasia]

Next move then?

[Corwin]

I'll go with Gold!

[Anastasia]

Any prep for that or just going as is?

[Corwin]

As is.

[Anastasia]

You meet Gold at Aurora's gates, "Come," he says with barely a word, going to the gate controller and briefly using his magic on it.

Dressed as normal?

[Corwin]

Lucy is dressed normally in her long, flowing skirt and a long-sleeved shirt in pastel colors, a darker vest over it. She doesn't have her sack or greatsword along, bringing only a wizard's staff with her while the head of her figurine pokes out of an inner pocket in her vest.

"Of course!" she chirps, coming over.
