Post  Jenna of the Red Robes Tue Jul 14, 2015 5:22 pm

The ornately designed wrought iron city gates of Palanthas glinted strangely in the fading light. The sun was setting, casting its oranges hues across the surface – making Jenna think of a flickering flame, burning brightly only to soon be eclipsed by the coming of night. She leaned regally against a marble pillar, situated just outside the gates. Absentmindedly tracing a carving of a Knight of Solamnia in the stone, Jenna casts her gaze to the gates. She is waiting for the so-called Mage Squad meeting that was supposed to be happening well…now.
Are there people walking her way – or is it just shadows cast from the waning sunlight trying to play tricks on her?

Lorin has been sitting just within sight of the gate since midday that day. The white fabric she found ended up being too narrow to make anything resembling a robe out of, but she’s tied it around her waist like a sash. Here’s hoping it counts.

She’s jumped up every time she saw a mage pass, but nobody seemed related to the mysterious letter - until now. A lovely woman in red robes has reclined against one of the pillars. She looks to be waiting for something.

Lorin sinks back against the stone she was resting against, thinking nervously. It could be the right person, or it could be a stranger, or a threat. She rereads the now terribly crumpled letter, then stuffs it back into her pocket. Only one way to find out.

“Excuse me!” She calls brightly, popping up and bounding over to where the woman is. “Did you send this letter?”

Tereixa saw the sun setting and trotted off towards the gates, her red robes swishing around her legs. By the time she navigated the crowds -and a few interesting distractions -she saw that there were two people already waiting there. One was even wearing red robes. She looked familiar as Tereixa drew closer and then it dawned on her. It was Mistress Jenna!

Tereixa felt elation at the thought of being in a group with the head of her order. She wondered if Mistress Jenna set it up? She had the fleeting feeling that she might have been imposing, but she crumpled up the thought and threw it away.

"Hello!" She called out and waved.

Jenna raises one elegantly shaped eyebrow in a questioning manner. She sweeps her eyes over Lorin, the not-quite-a-white-robed-mage she had just met. The sorceress smirks faintly as she thinks that perhaps Dalamar was right in saying that this squad would just be rabble, seeing as Lorin wasn't even wearing proper robes.

Jenna was about to explain to her that no, she was not in fact the sender of the mysterious letters -- but before she could speak, she hears another voice shouting "Hello!". The red robe turns swiftly to appraise the newcomer, the action causing Jenna's ornate robes to swirl around her dramatically.

"Greetings..." She trails off, giving the new mage the opportunity to introduce herself.

It seemed his decision to hide in the shadows of a nearby alley was correct. Of all possible people in Palanthas it had to be Justarius' daughter to arrive first. The rumoured lover of Dalamar the Dark. His mind was calculating the different possibilities. Why send an invitation that included Jenna and specifically mention renegades? Was this a trap? Was Jenna the one who send the message? Or was this completely unrelated? Gaveley nibbled on the edge of his sleeve in dep thought but he couldn't come to any conclusion.
Perhaps it was luck then when he noticed two people approach Jenna, a red robe and a woman wearing a white sash - a white robe, perhaps? If he recalled correctly, some nations were quite flexible with their declarations to the Orders. But regardless this was his chance. He whispered a spell that would permit him to eavesdrop the conversation as if he was there and retreated deeper into the alley. Observe and analyze before making his move. This was much too risky.

"Tereixa Bliss," she answered when she heard Jenna pause for her name. "It's absolutely amazing to be standing here with you, Mistress Jenna," she couldn't help but add. Then, she turned to the woman wearing a white sash. "What's your name?"

Tereixa felt a tingle at that moment and glanced around. She knew that someone was paying attention to them in some form or manner, but she shrugged it off. Honestly, it's not like they were doing anything worth hiding.

Jenna glances around sharply, feeling a sudden uneasy feeling. She has the peculiar perception that they are being watched. She holds up her hand imperiously to halt the conversation. Trusting her instincts, the sorceress surveys the area -- looking for anyone out of place among the denizens of Palanthas. She sees no one suspicious. Narrowing her eyes slightly in annoyance, she turns back to the two mages.

"Pleasure to meet you, Miss Bliss." Jenna smiles kindly but her voice is cool. She gestures airily at the mage beside her. "And this is Lorin," She introduces the two aloofly, her attention still focused on finding who was attempting to listen in on the trio.

"I'm assuming you are here for this Mage Squad as well?" The red robe wizardess asks Tereixa curiously, forgoing her fruitless search. She assumes that the hidden observer will eventually make themselves known. Jenna pulls out the mysterious letter she had received summoning her to this meeting. "And I'm afraid that I am not the one who put this group together," She added, guessing their thoughts.

It takes Marya what seems like ages to make her way back to the city gates, and the sun is hanging low in the sky by the time she reaches Palanthas's outskirts.

Much to her surprise, she's only the fourth to arrive. Three people already stand in front of the gates: two other red robes and a young woman wearing a white...sash? If she's a mage, she's not advertising it very well.

As Marya walks up to the group, she notices that one of the red-robed women looks familiar. She's striking, with lavishly embroidered robes and brilliant red hair. Still, Marya can't place her...until she draws near enough to see the woman's cool, elegant face.

Jenna?

Marya has only seen the head of her order once before, during the Test, but there's no mistaking her. What is Jenna doing here? Is she the one behind this mage squad idea? That seems...uncharacteristic. Marya notes with relief that Dalamar, the head of the Black Robes and Jenna's lover, is not present. Curious as she is, the two of them together would be far more than Marya's prepared to handle.

Marya breathes in deeply and does her best to stand up straight, brushing at her travel-stained robes with one hand. It's rare for her to make an effort with her appearance - practicality trumps aesthetics when one lives in a forest, after all - but Jenna exudes an air of poise strong enough to make even Marya self-conscious.

Suddenly, Marya frowns. Something is right at the edge of her consciousness, pressing against her senses with the faintest touch. Magic...but whose? She looks around the area, but sees only the three women ahead of her. Perhaps one of them is responsible? She shrugs.

Staff in hand, Marya strides toward the mages at the gate. Time to find out what all this is about.

"Hello?" she calls. "I was told there was a 'mage squad' meeting here..."

Post  Krysnis Fallbrine Sat Jul 18, 2015 4:08 pm

Krysnis half-ran, half-walked along the streets, picking up her pace as she neared the tower. In her hand she clutched a letter, an invitation to a "Mage squad" of some sorts. She wasn't quite sure what that meant, but she decided to show up anyway. Or at least she hope she would. Nissa had spent a little too long conversing with the handsome young man at the bakery and now was quite possibly running late.

As she approached the gates, the white-robed Mage realized several mages had already gathered and she was a bit relieved when she realized one of them was also wearing white.

"This makes things a bit less awkward, at least I have something in common with someone" she thought.

She reached the group breathless and somewhat red in the face.

"Hello are you all here for the Mage squad...thing?" She panted, "Am I late?"

Once she caught her breath, Nissa realized who one of the red-robed mages standing before her was.

"Oh, mistress Jenna," she stammered out, a bit embarrassed and startled, "hello."

Jenna holds in a sigh, as she watches two more mages approach. "Hello," She says civilly, fixing the newcomers with her intelligent albeit, a tad unnerving, gaze.

Her eyes flash amusedly as she regards the red robe. She is shabbily dressed, her red robes clearly well-worn and were there...twigs in her hair?

Jenna looks towards the white robe, arching one eyebrow in surprise. The girl clearly has elven blood in her -- judging by her sharp looks and the pointed ears peaking out from behind her brown hair. If she had to hazard a guess, Jenna would say that she was a half-elf.

"Good evening," The red robed sorceress adds in Elvish, with a small smirk.

"This is indeed the Mage Squad meeting," Jenna begins to explain. "Some unknown person has brought us all together for some undisclosed purpose. Perhaps one of you has more information?" She asks without much hope. It was highly unlikely that this ragtag group of mages was the mastermind behind the squad. Still, it would be entertaining to hear their thoughts.

Marya shrugs, not meeting Jenna's eyes - the woman still makes her damned uncomfortable. Something about her makes it seem as if she's keeping a running tally of all of Marya's visible flaws, and maybe a few of the invisible ones too.

"I'm late to the party," Marya says. "I hadn't even heard of this 'mage squad' an hour ago."

She looks around at the other members of the group, gauging their reactions, and suddenly she notices something. Almost all of the others are holding...letters? The white robe who just showed up is clutching hers in a death grip. Looks like there was an invitation after all.

Shit shit shit! She can't get kicked out of the mage squad now, not before she finds out what's going on.

"Uh," Marya says, thinking fast. "...because an hour ago...was when I...read the invitation?"

Tereixa grew happy when she saw two more people arrive. She had no doubt that the little band would be perfect company and she listened as disheveled red robe began to speak. "I hadn't even heard of this 'mage squad' an hour ago." A pause, and then, "Uh, because an hour ago...was when I...read the invitation?"

Tereixa felt exhausted after that roller coaster of a sentence. She had felt elated that she wasn't the only one who had basically just found out about the Mage Squad, but then the red robe had added, albeit late, that she had received an invitation too and Tereixa's elation quickly plummeted into worry.

"Oh, ya, the invitation," she laughed, keeping a poker face. Act like you're supposed to be here. "What's your names?" She quickly changed the subject and focused on the two new people.

Post  Lorin Sat Jul 18, 2015 11:31 pm

Lorin looked from one person to the other, feeling rather lost. Jenna was in charge, that much was clear from her demeanor and the way the mages - the other mages - looked at her. There were a lot of people wearing red, but at least there was someone else in white. Even to her untrained senses, the amount of power in the gathering was palpable. Anyone thinking to defy the mages in Palanthas would be foolish at best.

Unless, a nagging voice whispered in her mind, they managed to trick a large number of them outside the main city at the same time.

Lorin's head jerked up at the possibility, and she hastily scanned the area, looking for anything - or anyone - suspicious.

Post  Gaveley Sun Jul 19, 2015 1:19 am

Gaveley released the spell with a sour, annoyed look on his face. So far eavesdropping proved to be utterly fruitless, outside of learning that Jenna was not in fact the one behind this gathering. In fact, none of the presently gathered seemed to know what was going on. Was the mastermind planning to make their appearance once all of the invited showed up. Impossible. There had to be mages who ignored the invitation... But thinking about this now was just as fruitless.

The half-elf retreated deeper into the alley and moved between the blocks a bit, finally resurfacing on the main street in a completely different spot. At the very least it was highly possible Jenna could sense his magic, in which case he hoped that this little time lag and displacement was enough to elevate any suspicion from him.

Wearing a mask when approaching the mages was not necessary. His nervousness was real enough the more he approached. Before it was hard to tell, but now he could feel the power emanating from the group. Jenna of course, but the others were formidable as well. He could feel the radiance of the Test from them all - no, not all, the one wearing the sash was similar to him, an apprentice perhaps. This made him relax at least a bit.

"Mistress Jenna" he bowed courtly once he approached the robed gathering, paying proper homage to a Red Robe of her stature. "Should I assume that this is the... 'Mage Squad'?"

Jenna inclines her head slightly to the mage who had just approached. She smiles at him approvingly, pleased that he had greeted her in the correct way, as custom demands. Plus, the red robe admits to herself that she just enjoys being bowed to in general.

"Hello, sir mage." She says politely, even as her eyes sweep over him in a quick assessment. She notes that he appears to be a half-elf, probably Silvanesti.

She smirks at him knowingly, her intuition telling her that he was the one she had sensed earlier. He was the hidden observer who had been watching their meeting. "Clever little spell," Jenna says grudgingly in Elvish, assuming that most of the other companions would be unable to understand the language.

Before he has a chance to respond, Jenna continues speaking. "You are correct in assuming that this is the Mage Squad." Whatever that means. Jenna says internally, having a bit of a caustic outlook on the whole idea.

The wizardess casts a surveying glance around the area. The sun had set completely and Solinari was beginning it's ascent -- casting its brilliant silver light across the group. The stunning marble architecture of Palanthas looks especially enchanting in the moonlight, a perfect backdrop to a city that prides itself on its beauty.

Marya relaxes a bit when the new arrival joins them at the gate. The feel of his magic, faint though it is, is enough to confirm that this man was their mysterious watcher from earlier. He doesn't seem likely to admit it, though; instead he simply drops into a ridiculous bow in front of Jenna, who murmurs something to him in Elvish. Marya's fluency in Elvish extends to asking for directions and not much farther, so she doesn't catch Jenna's words.

That's one mystery solved, then: this new mage might still be dangerous, but at least now he's in plain sight. Time to put together the rest of the puzzle.

Marya pushes her glasses up her nose and looks around at the group. "So," she says, "The mage squad has assembled...but what exactly are we supposed to do?"

Her gaze falls upon the other, nervous-looking red robe standing near Jenna and she remembers the girl's earlier question.

"My name is Marya Cutter, by the way," she says. "And we all know Mistress Jenna, of course, so who are the rest of you?"

Oh, no, don't start pulling out letters, Tereixa thought worriedly. "Nice to meet you. Marya is right, now that we are all here, what do we do?"

Tereixa wondered if that would be the end of it. Would some letters really be enough to hold everyone together? Would anyone here look at the group and decide they have something better to do with their time? Or would they all just accept that they were supposed to be here -mostly -and go on a fun adventure somewhere? She hoped it was the latter. She missed traveling with people.

Knowing the sun was setting, the elf knew he had been lost for too long. He was always bad with maps but never like this. Thankfully plenty of people pointed him in the right direction. He soon approached the gates,eating some bread he had brought with him. His long baggy red robes moves behind him like a dress as he walked at a leisurely pace. He didn't seem like he was in a rush to join the group,nor did he seem as... worried as the other mages.

He walked right up to the group,stopping beside one of the red robed mages, Terexia, and waved to the group. He made sure to sallow his food before he spoke,he knew not to be rude to his new friends.

"Hello. I am guessing this is the mage squad,yes? I got lost on my way here. I am not used to maps yet." Of course after he spoke his snack went right back into his mouth,not seeming to catch the mood that was in the air.

Jenna purses her lips slightly as she regards the still-eating mage. Having grown weary of the never ending introduction loop that the group seems to be stuck in, the sorceress quickly provides everyone else's name.

Now, on to the next problem. What exactly were they supposed to do now that they had assembled? They had a "Mage Squad" but not much more than that. No one seems to know what their next course of action should be.

Jenna wonders again who had sent the letters that had brought them here -- and to what purpose. Why summon a group of mages and then not attend the meeting? Could this have something to do with the Conclave? She knew that Dalamar had already discounted that notion but, still, it was a possibility -- no matter how slim.

"Perhaps, this is somehow related to the Wizards' Conclave?" Jenna muses aloud, wondering how her companions would react to her guess. She eyes them shrewdly, trying to determine if any of them knew more than they were letting on.

"Not quite, young one," A voice admonishes mildly. The group whirls around to face the speaker, a hooded man who seems to have appeared out of the shadows themselves. On his arm is a lady, also wearing the robes signifying that she too is a magic-user. Although the woman is clothed in Solinari's white, a stark contrast to her companion's deep black robes.

Jenna tenses as the two mages move towards them, slipping her hand into her spell components in case the two decide to become hostile.

"Who are you?" Jenna asks cautiously. The light from Solinari shines on their faces, illuminating the wrinkles that denotes their older age.

The woman smiles kindly, gesturing at the man beside her. "Why, we are the founders of the original Mage Squad."

As Adzeiryn saw the hooded figure,he slouched down and hid behind some of the other red robed mages. He seemed to stick by the same colored robes he wore himself,feeling more comfort of their nature.
Even if these people were the "Original Mage Squad",he couldn't help but have an uneasy at the pit of his being.

Tereixa raised her eyebrows in surprise. There was a group before them? She had never heard of them.

When the newest red robe tried to hide behind her and the other red robes, she gave him a small smile. At least she wasn't the only one who was a little nervous.

She itched to ask them questions, but bit her tongue. She wasn't officially invited and she hoped the old ones couldn't remember how many invitations they had sent out. Or perhaps they would assume she was someone who didn't show up. Either way, she didn't want to get asked to leave so she stood quietly, listening to what was being said.

Jenna is incredulous, she'd never heard of a Mage Squad before this one. She fixes the two elder mages with a questioning look.

"My name is Ellene." The white robe states pleasantly. She playfully prods the man next to her, encouraging him to speak.

He glares at the assembled mages, apparently in a foul mood. "I am Felzar." The wizard says finally.

The woman laughs quietly. "Stop trying to scare them, my love."

"Excuse me," Jenna interrupts the pair sharply. "But would you please explain what you meant by the 'original Mage Squad'? I'm afraid I have never heard of such an organization before."

Ellene turns towards Jenna, a benign sparkle in her eyes. "And there aren't many things you haven't heard of. Isn't that right, child?" She stares at the red robe intently and Jenna feels the decidedly unnerving sensation that the elder lady could see straight through her mask of cold indifference.

Before the sorceress could respond, Ellene begins her tale. "A long time ago, my husband Felzar and I formed what we liked to call the Mage Squad. It was a," She pauses, sparing a second to share an amused glance with the black robe. "somewhat clandestine operation. We assembled a group of mages that would exist outside the bureaucracy of the Conclave. Only a select few knew of it. Sure, on occasion we went on missions for the Conclave but that is neither here nor there."

Jenna ponders all this for a moment, trying to determine if the woman was telling the truth. She wouldn't really have a reason to lie...would she? She had a feeling that there was more to this story than Ellene was sharing, she just didn't know what or why.

Lorin took an involuntary breath at the sight of Ellene. She was so perfect and clean, so unlike her own dingy fabric. And it was nice to watch Jenna get snubbed, ever so subtly.

And yet... something about the pair struck Lorin as odd. It was not the pairing of white and black, although that was unexpected. There was a whole hodgepodge of robes here anyway. As the two talked, she closed her eyes and breathed in, steadying herself and opening up her senses to the still novel throb of magic.

Almost immediately, her eyes snapped open, staggered by the weight she had just felt. These two were old, older than they appeared, and older than anything she had felt except for maybe the spell tomes in the library.

"Are you retiring?" She blurted out, and immediately flushed at how rude that sounded. "I mean, you summoned us here for a reason, and I'm sure there were more than two of you at the beginning."

Marya stood in rapt silence as the two new arrivals addressed the group. Finally, some answers! And what she was hearing was far more fascinating than she'd hoped: a clandestine group of mages? Secret missions for the Conclave? If all this was true, the original Mage Squad must have been one of the best-kept secrets in the magical world. It sounded almost too strange to believe...and yet too tantalizing a prospect to dismiss out of hand. The woman, Ellene, and her grim husband had a feel of immense power about them, a presence so strong it was an almost physical weight in the night air. Even the formidable Jenna paled in comparison, like a candle flame to two burning suns. It was not hard to imagine these two as leaders of their fellow magic users, keepers of an ancient and dangerous secret.

But still, Marya wondered, why this new gathering? Why had her fellow mages in particular been chosen to attend? And, most importantly - would these strangers realize that Marya was an uninvited guest at their little party?

Marya frowned and did her best to shrink into the lengthening shadows of the gate - not too hard in her faded robes and dark trousers. Although she had a thousand questions tugging at her lips, she kept silent. Better to avoid notice for now.
