"I think it best if we frame the audience as a request to make Tryll stronger so that he can better destroy devils." Moore says. "I heard through the grapevine that the Padisha had Afina kill a devil while she was there, so I think that's the best bet. Oh, Bubbles, is it expected that you have magical aid for talks with the Padisha? I don't know if she'd be impressed with or bored of my attempts at avoiding them."

Anastasia

"It's usually best to avoid too much," Bubbles says, "It's relative and she's a bit mercurial at times, dearie. I suggest that if you don't need them that you refrain or exercise caution."

<Yuthirin> Afina, giant parasitic rainbow space whale.
<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Nephrite

Moore nods. "Then I'll just use what I wear and leave it at that. It'll be a bit weaker, but it would be worse to come off as impolite. All right, so we're agreed on the particulars and what we're asking for. I remember she has quite a few titles that you're intended to use, can you refresh our memories on those?"

Anastasia

"More than you can shake a puddle at," Bubbles chortles, "Maharaja of the Oceans, though Waves is used as well. Great Padisha, Keeper of the Empire, Pearl of the Sea, Parent of the Waves, Emir of All Currents, Princess of Coral and Queen of all Marid are all also used. Sultana is technically correct, though this particular Padisha dislikes that title so it is not used. There's other titles as well that are trotted out at her will, but those are this Padisha's preferences for titles."

Moore nods again. "I think we can handle that. All right, then I think the only thing left is finding something suitable to put the water in to present it as a gift and then we'll be good to go. Did you want to come with us as well, Bubbles? You're welcome to if you want to visit some friends."

Anastasia

Bubbles considers and...

> roll 1d100+10 this is a luck check, +10 penalty due to previous bad dealing with Calleigh and Tryll
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 25 > [d100=15]


"I suppose I can," Bubbles finally says, "Honey, so long as you don't offend the Padisha it should be fine," her gaze is right on Calleigh when she says that.

"If that happens, I don't think any force beyond the Archomental of Water is going to help us much." Moore laments with a smile.

Okay, let's find a suitable container. Something blue crystal-y? They can probably check with Filbrez on it, something in the 100-150 gold range is sufficiently ritzy, I think?

Calleigh raises her right hand. "I promise not to pee in the water!"
What if they're not stars at all? What if the night sky is full of titanic far-off lidless eyes, staring in all directions across eternity?

Anastasia

"Charming," Bubbles drawls.

Up to you two, how much do you two want to spend on this?

Tryll can create nearly any material given enough time, so really it's all just up to the skill of the craftsman guiding him into creating the item desired. Telepathy and mind reading can allow Tryll to theoretically copy images from minds.

I think the container itself is less important than the actual item we're delivering, but whatever works. Moore can magic up himself Profession: Glassblowing or something if needed.

Anastasia

Sounds good. Gimme the gold you're putting on this and a rough sketch of what you want.

Could drop in up to 5k for a good crystal amphora.

Is there such a thing as water-aligned crystal?

Anastasia

It's difficult but yes, there could be such a thing, sure.

Yuthirin

Is it something that can be crafted, or must it be found naturally?
