'Your cover is blown,' Lixer says dryly, 'But only like a dragon to desire money. Very well, I can do business with dragons. What do you have for sale and how much?'
<Afina> Imagine a tiny pixie boot stamping on a devil's face.
<Afina> Forever.

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

Corwin

'Onyx, of course. I'm not missing on a good deal. Eight thousand's worth,' Seira responds, exaggerating by a thousand since Lixer's buying at higher prices and it would make a reasonable and, far more importantly, believable profit.

Anastasia

Several clangs appear on the ground, as gold bars appear before you. Several of them, big gold bars indeed. 'Toss the oynx to the ground.'

Corwin

Seira takes a moment to examine the gold as thoroughly as she had the crystal, earlier, and upon finding no traps collects it and drops the onyx to complete the trade.

'Plan isn't viable,' Seira thinks to her companions. 'Lixer is showing off. My only shot of getting inside is relying on stealth if you violently catch his attention.'
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Anastasia

'What happened there?' Elegy sends to you, 'I was keeping my mouth shut.'

Jessica sends after, 'We only caught some of that, yes.'

Replying to Seira, 'Can you evade his notice enough to sneak in now that subterfuge is broken?'

Corwin

'Lixer knew I was here, which we expected, but he also kept his eye on me the whole time, which we didn't,' Seira elaborates for the sake of Jessica and Elegy.

To Alicia, Seira sends, 'If you catch his attention, possibly. I'm willing to try.'
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Anastasia

'That's a problem,' Elegy sends smoothly, 'So we're on borrowed time?'

<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Corwin

'In a manner of speaking.'
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Anastasia

'Well,' Elegy says, then with a hint of amusement in his mental voice, 'Best make the most of it.'
<Afina> Imagine a tiny pixie boot stamping on a devil's face.

<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Corwin

To clarify, I'm waiting for a telepathic signal from Alicia, and then I will teleport instantaneously and recast my disguise to help throw Lixer off the scent.
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Anastasia

Yes, we'll get that going momentarily, once Alicia brings the thunder.

Ebiris

'Gating in now,' Alicia's voice sends to Seira.

Corwin

#43
At the signal, Seira and her party teleport!

They appear a bit over a mile from their starting point in their fresh guise of emaciated bearded devils, the two spells going off simultaneously due to being guided by the same hand. 'We're aiming for speed and stealth, now,' Seira relays to Elegy and Jessica, as this is repeated again and again for half a minute. 'Elegy, pick another entrance to Noir Jardin.'

Seira herself handles the Veil via Miracle, and SeiraAvatar greater teleports us all, this coordinated to perfection. If we're not stopped within 5 rounds, the 6th round will teleport us over to an alternate position Elegy supplies in the meantime, and we'll utilize stealth. Also, if this goes off, the five rounds will be used to cast combat spells on us, which I'll do as this resolves.

EDIT: To clarify, our disguises keep changing as well each time.
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Anastasia

Cool. What will the final disguises be?
