From green to blue blood?

So today I felt good enough to put our plan into action. I think Alais and Illasaya both got too much entertainment of watching me dress up as a nobleman. Alais fussed over my hair for a while and then gave me the gold to buy the slaves we had to free in order to get the fruit she needs for Gia.

So we headed to the market. Alais looked like a pretty convincing servant and I think I made a pretty good noble. I even had the disdainful haughty look down just perfectly. There's a very slight difference between noble haughtiness and elven haughtiness, and I've been looked down on by both so I could effect either one convincingly enough.

Playing our parts was kind of funny for a while, like acting in a play with some very high stakes. I nearly laughed several times at the stuff Alais and I had to say, all the "yes my lord" from her and so forth and all the "hah! pour me some wine servant type person!" from me. But it s topped being funny at some point, I think it was when Alais sat down on the floor and cleaned my glass with her cloaks, that I realized that some people, that maybe even Alais or myself, might have to actually do that for real. I know Alais is saved from it by her will alone, and I suppose it was lucky she escaped the dungeons, or I might have been content to live such a life simply to hang around her.

I guess maybe that's one of the things that makes people be good and take care of eachother, the knowledge that they could, by a withdrawal of their deity's favor, be in the same situation. I know I could, and I probably wouldn't be able to hold out nearly as long as Ali has...

But anyhow, we bought two slaves from the merchant and they're both to be set free, and the one will become the consort of the trader we need to work with to get the fruit. Alais is handling htat. After the rouse was over I wriggled out of my disguise immediately and hugged her tightly, which really confused the women we'd saved. We both agreed to pray in thanks to the other's deity for keeping their eyes on us. I think as much as I've prayed to Mystra for her and she's prayed to Elistraee fr me we should both have two Goddesses on our side.

Once I'd rested and told Illasaya of our exploits I headed back to the surface for some reconaissance. I know there was a temple being built and I imagine that's where the drow patrol that was captured is being held. I'll need to bust in there and rescue them, but myrangers are depleted and busy, so I'm thinking of another plan.

I got home to see Quin for the first time in a month or so. She's the only one that calls me by this name she has for me, "Little wizard" and it was good to be called that again by her. She grabbed me by the ear and looked me over and she said she'd tend to my wounds tomorrow before she had to continue her inventory in the med room.

In the mean time Williow or someone seemed to have kidnapped a friend of mine. I went to investigate and she yelled at me and stuff, set the shadows on me and called me an immature brat and said I kept messing up her life. I told her that if her life didnt consist of kidnapping and torturing people I might leave her alone and then she stormed off. She did however say that she didn't have my friend and suggest that some guy named Sorak might. I'll look into that tomorrow.
