You ask around a little bit and find your destination. The Prancing Pegasus is a rather nice building, full of people coming and going. There's a communal tavern where you find the barkeep - a rather short human mans it, short enough to be almost dwarven.

Your mask lets you see the image of a female half elf with green hair and a lyre tatto-oh wait a minute, you know who that is. Anyway, clearly this is a case of the man being the result of magic, and that Laughing Laura is the barkeep. "Hi," he says, "House special is our own homebrewed ale, 1 gold coin per mug."

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles. "Hello. My name is Moore, and this is Moonlight, of Lathander. We're from Aurora, sorry for the fuss. We were hoping to speak to Laughing Laura." He clears his throat. "She seems busy tending to patrons at the moment, but do you think she could spare some time for us?"

He figures he may as well be honest in this situation to save her some time.

[Anastasia]

True to her name, she laughs. It's a rough, manly sound. "Perceptive as an eye tyrant! Hmmm," she peers at both of you, "You're newer members? You don't have the right hair to be Crystal or Afina, and you're the wrong body type to be Dana."

[Nephrite]

Moore just starts laughing as well. "I'm not sure whether Dana would be mad or happy to be compared to you, Moonlight. Yes, we're newer, I've been there for a few months. She came to us recently, just when the time was right."

[Anastasia]

"Anyway," Laughing Laura says, "It looks like Aurora could use some cheering up. Is that true?"

[Nephrite]

"Morale is something we're always dealing with, since our fight never ends." Moore responds. "I think you and I can work on a lot of projects together, I'm big on motivation myself. If you'd be willing to join us, I'd be happy to vouch for you -- this isn't something I want to leave on a shelf."

[Anastasia]

"Great," Laughing Laura says, grinning. "Can you prove to me that you're good at it? Give me a good, motivational speech."

[Nephrite]

"You know, I'm surprised you haven't heard of the story I told Lliira herself not a few days ago." Moore says. He takes the mask off at this to look her--- well, now it's a him, but whatever, in the eye. "I was here with someone important to me, looking for aid in a quest we're on. Well, the performance I gave was so good, it brought Lady Lliira right to me! It was exhilarating to in her presence, I've never felt so much joy and happiness well up in my heart. We spoke for a while -- I suppose the length of time is irrelevant to someone like Her, but I gave her my story... where it began, where it is now. Why, and I won't bore you with all the details, but i woke up in Venya a few months ago..."

He's going to basically summarize the events that led him to Aurora after that. This is a Perform(Oratory) check to be clear.

[Anastasia]

You get full attention, and by the end of it Laughing Lliira is clapping and cheering, "Oh, that's great," she says, "Just great! I'm in. I'm not much for combat, but I know just how to cheer up anyone, plus I can patch up any injuries you get."

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles and nods. "I'm glad to see that my meeting with her is already attracting some attention. I'm in the same boat as you are, I make other people better." He turns to Moonlight. "Say, I've probably bored you to tears with this adventure so far, so where do you want to go? I bet you Laughing Laura and I would make it interesting. You have some terrible evil castle or something you've been wanting to smash?"

[Anastasia]

Laura hops over the bar, spinning and turning back to her natural form. She's a rather pretty half elf with Lliira's holy symbol hanging on a necklace.

"Not right now," Moonlight says, "It's better than napping all day, which I was going to do as it is."

"Besides, I want to see Aurora and get set up!" Laughing Laura says, "Say, do you have shops there?"

[Nephrite]

Moore grins at Moonlight and nods. "Well, if you get some sort of divine mission to go somewhere, let me know. I want to return the favor." He turns to Laura and nods a few times. "We do, in fact. All sorts." Moore answers. "We were actually here to set up a bit of a branch of our own."

[Anastasia]

"Oh, that's nice," Laura says, "Brightwater's always a bit too mercantile for me, at least this part is. Money this, money that."

[Nephrite]

"Yes, I agree. I've been fostering relationships for Aurora not purely based on financial backing." He nods. "Anyway, I'll show you the way."

I think they're done here since I presume the contract stuff won't be done for a while and they'll notify us.

[Anastasia]

Sure, moving you along.

You return to Aurora to find things tense. The courtyard's full of soldiers training, more at the ready. "Hi," Elena says when you appear, "All officers are to rest and prepare."

"Oh, a ghost!" Laura gasps, hand to her holy symbol, "You must be Elena! Do you want me to put you to rest?"

"What's going on?" Moonlight says, "An attack?"

Elena's dressed fairly normally, just a simple dress today. "No, nothing like that. We got a message from Baator. Also, nice to meet you and I'm fine, thanks."
