it would be local but K(local) Aren, for that is the city you are
in the country of Abes on the continent of Sira.
and yes callo does know.
there was a human named Drastin that once ruled hear and was over throne.

They have been dry for the last 8 months, so as long as we have shortage you must stand in line and pay like the rest of them. now move along we are done with your pestering us, we must stand guard so move along.
He gestures for you to move away from them.

Maybe it was because he had done what he was supposed to for so long or maybe the magic was getting control and he just needed a reason to cast it but probably it was the smile he saw when he looked back. Glass slipped around a corner and when nobody was watching formed a brilliant desert rose. (prestidigitation) Only noticeably magic to the right eyes.  Then Glass mumbled to himself (greater invisibility) and turned the corner, heading straight for Callo. This time he would slip the flower in her bag unnoticed. (Let me know if I need a roll here.) |

you found an empty tent to cast in there not hard to find and no one was in them or around them. with the crowds of people and the daily life the sound of incantations go unheard. now all he had to do was try and get it to her.

Nokomis didn't come here for water, she had no coins to buy any in any case. She was a stranger in this city, but she had heard that travelers sometimes came here. So she simply looked for anyone who looked out of place here. And Lady Callo looked out of place.
After she was finished talking to one of the guards (another sign that she wasn't from around here), Nokomis went up to talk to her.
Lady Callo saw a well armed figure approaching her. The figure was cloaked from head to toe in white desert robes and cloak. Even the eyes were concealed behind protective lenses. The figure had a long bow over one shoulder, both a quiver and backpack on it's back (but no bedroll under the backpack). Two scimitars were strapped to it's belt. Although well armed, and with face concealed, the posture did not indicate any signs of hostility. Rather the posture indicated confidence.
The loose robes gave hints that the figure within may be female, but it wasn't until the figure spoke that one could be sure. "Greetings and welcome to Sira. Is your business here in Aren, or will you need a guide to journey into the desert?" asked Nokomis bluntly.
OOC: I know that Callo is a native, but I'm assuming she doesn't look like one.
OOC2: The closest thing I could find for what Nokomis looks like is a Tuskan Raider. But she looks better than that!

" Greetings and welcome to Sira. Is your business here in Aren, or will you need a guide to journey into the desert?" asked Nokomis bluntly. Though she did not appear to be native the woman's clothing was similar to that worn by the wealthier merchants of Sira. Callo indicates to the newcomer to walk with her as she moves away from guards towards the gateway, "perhaps... tell me, is the city under siege? The dry rivers seem ... unusual."OOC: One of the side effects of Callos bound vestige is see invisibility... |

If Skar can get in he will go to the tent and try and enlist as a guard. Could do with a few more coins and a place to sleep before setting off into the desert again to look for more orc tribes.

(OOC: I was interpreting that, "at will," means you have to activate it and can't just walk around with it always on. Even if that is the case Glass doesn't know that. Also remember, I am not using slight of hand to take something from you but to give to you. Up to you and the DM for how to work that - I don't care either way.)
Glass walked at a hurried pace. He did not have long.
The girl was talking with someone else now. A tall someone else. He turned his attention again to the pack and tried to slip in the flower.
[dice=20] + 10 (I'm taking full bonus because I think I can't be seen. We'll see if that holds true.) = 13 (Well if you can see me, this will be laughable.)
Modded to add total.[rand=1126387845724821106617058720439672732812399277463603398411278612912]

Skar is able to make his way to the table but this time sees a human sting with a large scroll. and is inscribing with a quill on the parchment. there seams to be a few charts and maps on his table.
as you walk up, the human continues to write. then he looks up. and speaks in Orcish
are you hear to pick up pay or are you a possible new recruit we could use the add in numbers.

Callo indicates to the newcomer to walk with her as she moves away from guards towards the gateway, "perhaps... tell me, is the city under siege? The dry rivers seem ... unusual."Nokomis answers, " I just came in from the desert, I saw no signs of siege and no one opposed my entry of the town. As for the river drying up," she shrugged and continued, " the land has been getting dryer for the decades I've been alive. Some say the dragons are causing it, but I have seen no proof of that. But in any case, this river drying up is just more of the same." OOC: Had to wait for clarification from the GM as to what the character knew vs. what the player knows of the situation. |

to glass: it depends on how it is worded for if it is all slide of hands it would allow her to notice even when u give her things through said skill.
If it is only for taking things from her then she has to roll a spot, listen and she is in the middle of talking so it stands to reason she is fully distracted at said time. so even if she can see hidden things she has to be actively looking for them.

Skar is taken aback a little by the human speaking in orcish. Thinking the man may know a little orc history he goes on to say."MY NAME IS SKAR HELLSWORD OF THE BLOODFIST TRIBE, SON OF GRISHNAK DOOMBREED!" Pride swelling in his cheast as he say's his name, tribe and father. Realising he is being a bit louder then he think's he should be saying things like that he hushes his voice as he spots a few people looking at him and says "Im here to inlist"

Callo brushes back her hair as she considers the mercenaries words, briefly distracted by the bellowing orc nearby. "Good for the water sellers certainly"
There was coin to be made here, but selling water could be hazardous for your health, "where are the priests? I'd have thought they would be crawling all over a desperate population such as this"
(OOC - assuming it's the same DC to place an object as to lift it, Glass fumbles the flower and Callo doesn't notice)
[dice=20]+1 Spot
-Callo isn't going to notice but there is a chance Nokomis will see/hear something.[rand=12729555713253282761141396117908487857491913236547195970963301089]

Sounds like a move silently is appropriate?

( DM Faceplam: well in this instance now your doing a dance around each other kinda cute, sry i had to point it out. for you can't see him or know he is there. your in a conversation not paying attention so no listen or spot would make sense for ether of Callo or Nokomis. for this is a city and right now guards are everywhere, so it is very safe for the time being.
I looked up how slide of hand works and to take an object is DC 20. yet giving them something is a case by case as is taking. if they are distracted it is easier to give them some thing or take something from them.
so in this case slide of hand to give an object is not a DC 20 in this case. when people are distracted it is way easier to give them something, making it a DC 15.
because of any distraction give the person doing slide of hands when taking or give get a +2.
So Glass barely got the flower in the bag, yet you do get a spot to notice your bag was opened. and after that you do see footprints running of but no person.
even as an at will you must say your looking for seeing invisible things. without saying your looking around with it off. at wills does not mean always on all the time it means you can use it when you wish as much as you want, but you have to say you are when you wish to do so.
so as soon as you "turn it on" you see the same guy from before, and maybe can chase after him if you so wish. )

for some reason he can't give it to you cause well his rolls are not that good right now 
Invisible characters can still be heard, smelled, felt - it's actually only a DC20 check to get a hunch that 'someone' is there, at -5 when distracted. Not that Callo is likely to notice unless glass stumbles into her, especially in such a busy area. |

as to the quote i changed it a bit sry about the miss comunication he does get you the flower, but not by much had you not been talking or distracted he would not have been able to . he got lucky, on this one. and yes your right it is not easy to do.
you may do a listen check if you so wish, as can Nokomis. so to move things along see my next post. in this case if the two of you do hear him, and notice the open bag and see a flower there. by then he gets to double move. as he runs away you will turn to see the footprints, you turn on your see invisible ability and see him and can chase him if you so wish. .

Glass's heart was beating like a woodpecker having a seizure. After one hundred and eighty years of slavery and seclusion, this was his first crush. He couldn't think. The only thought that occupied his mind right now was getting back to the tent free from sight. Everything else would come later.
He walked briskly towards the tent, knowing that he was on the clock. (OOC: Referring to the spell duration.)

As Glass is walking away he is so determined that he does not think about the footprints he is leaving behind him. Not that far from him, as Nokomis and Callo are chatting they both realize while they were talking someone or something had opened Callos bag and left a desert flower. as they both look around to see what could have left it they both see footprints but no owner, yet there was something still making them.

the human looks up the bloodlines and the 9 clans and finds Skars name.
" very well we had to be careful, we have many who pose they are from clans but are not, if your from them you get better befits. do to that you are, your pay is 50 gold a week and are allowed 5 full jugs of water each week. your food is also provided.
report to the north barrack. he hands you a uniform. you may keep your own weapons or trade them in. looking at the sword, i take it your a close combat fighter, but i am just the recruiter your commanding officer will tell you where you will be needed. my you serve the Abes army well. "
