"Unfortunately I did not see the incantation, our brash young friend maintains possession of that. When he sits, we will discuss it with him. The council has seen fit to include you in this mission and I see no reason to doubt their wisdom. We each have our part to play."

Drake mumbles, "Like human shield." He looks around the room casually.

Kran approaches the barkeep. "Excuse me sir, some of your finest mead if you please, & some extra coin if you can tell me the whereabouts of a lady named Margalyse." The keep looks at you through the corner of his eye, "Manganese? Dunt know who'yer trying to call out to, son. Nut shur I know en'yun by that title."

A man at the end of the bar leans over and explains to the barkeep in a raised voice, "Not Manganese. Margalyse! You know, the old broad that hangs around here just after shift change. The one with the..." and the man makes a somewhat crass gesture with his hands around his chest.
The old man nods and turns back to Kran. "Oh! We'ya shudiv saidit to start. Givit afew, an shill be here. Kennit miss'er."

Kran gives the barkeep a little more coin then usual. "I thank you kindly and will wait for the fine maiden." He tips back the mead and totally ignores anything his party members are saying.

An or hour so goes by until the barkeep gives you a refill of your mead with a nod towards the door. Just entering is a dark-haired woman with streaks of grey. Her dress is lavishly jeweled - much too so for this district - and her makeup is just beyond overdone. She flashes a ruby smile at the old barkeep before taking a seat at a table just off the bar. A barmaid makes her way over and strikes up a quick conversation with the matronly woman.

Drake will look to Kran, "So, I'd say that's your cue. But we could expedite this whole thing if you'd kindly remove these cursed bindings." He leans in to whisper, "I am capable of detecting magic if she tries to lure you in with her charms."

Kran looks at Drake and says a incantation that sounds like gibberish. The bracers fall away from Drake, and Kran puts them into the wooden box. Kran says, "Time to prove your worth magic user," and sweeps his hand toward Margalyse.

Drake rubs his wrists and is clearly overacting at the amount of discomfort they caused. He waves his hand mimicking Kran, "And how should I do that? I doubt she just has an aura around her that makes me do anything she wants. She'll likely have to cast some sort of spell for me to detect. I guess we can wait for her to make a move on someone, or you could hurry things along by acting as b . . . er . . . engaging her in conversation. But I wouldn't eat or drink anything she gives you. In case she tries to slip you something. I'll be ready to reveal her treachery and Laohu to ensnare her."

Kran looks at Drake and rolls his eyes. "I thought you were supposed to be a valid part of this group? So, you're just going to "detect magic", tell Laohu to "get her", & then sit and watch?" What good is having a magic user when YOU CAN'T DO A DAMN THING!

"YOU'RE KIDDING ME RIGHT? I'm the only one able to tell if she's putting a hex on anyone. It's hard to cast a spell undercover when someone is staring right at you. Or did you forget magic requires ritual? I'll let Laohu decide. Who will engage?"

"BY THE DAMNED GODS!" Kran pushes Drake into the seat of another patron. Then he fakes being terribly drunk and stumbles up to Margalyse and says, "You the most bootyful lady me've ever seen." He also awkwardly caresses her shoulder.

Laohu looks at Drake with a sardonic smile and say, "I was going to suggest that Kran go over and speak with her but I guess this attempt will work just as well."

"I suppose the result is the same. Watch carefully though. If he seems to be falling for her charms, I will suss out her magics."

He also awkwardly caresses her shoulder. Margalyse looks at you with a worried glance and recoils her shoulder slightly, though doesn't entirely remove herself from the situation. "Maybe Grey needs to get you a cup of coffee to help you get over your obvious bad day. You should perhaps pick better friends, and in the meantime one of these lovely gentlemen would offer to escort you home."
