OOC: Before Tarlyns post!!!
Deari whole heartedly agrees, and as she carries out the last of the food, she pulls the bread from the oven and carries it to the table. "Yes I think so unless you don't like it hot..." She walks around and begins to serve out portions of the meal to everyones plates and filling each glass again with some more of the wine. Upon finishing serving she gives Lucius a kiss to the cheek and then takes her seat next to him to eat and enjoy the night as well.
Hobert sits under her legs and enjoys the bone he was given by Delsenora and she smiles as she thinks how he will manage them both when he gets the ham bone later tonight...
Looking over at the two Drow as they speak together in the conversation she thinks that maybe she has misjudged Delsenora some, yet wonders how she can be so very different than her father. She also wonders if Cornelius is still as unaware of the new arrivals intentions as they talk and laugh together. She will have to make sure to tell the dwarf one day that she has named him Hoberts god owner...
Vassili is rather distracted as he is eating and she glimpsed him sip the wine and swallowing that drink make a rather sour face... She wonders what the small boy is so impatient about and further still she wonders what he thinks of her. Children tended to be cut off from her in the past, and she has nothing to relate to them and often felt scared for them. Still she was glad to see him all dressed up and he looked quite proper... She went over taking his wine and filling Jacobs glass with it, and refilled it with some apple cider to drink giving a slight smile and wink as she did.
William seems to be also enjoying the meal and she cannot wait to see both his and Jacob's faces when the gifts are handed out. Even if it is Jacob's night she would not let him get away without giving some of the attention of the evening to him as well. He goes around the table with conversation and mostly he and Jacob speak on the university and its merits.
Van however is speaking animatedly with Lucius and they are going over something having to do with some arcane magic theory she gathered. Still they were both quite enraptured in the conversation and she smiled listening in and understanding every other word.
She looks around the table and enjoys the feelings of happiness and the common bonds that they had built around them... With that in mind she joins in the conversations as best she can while keeping her mind light and free of any troubles that may come up...

OOC: After Tarlyns post!!!
"That is very good Vassili!" Deari applauds quite impressed with his excellent display of magical learning... She often wonders why her magic is so different from those of these wizards that walk with her. Still all that practice and work had bore fruit and she was happy to find out what he wished to share with them all.
She then also decides to whisper to Lucius if he agrees that now is the time for the gifts. She is excited as well and almost cannot wait to show them... Almost... And she waits while Lucius thinks it over for a second...

Delsenora moves to sit near Jacob. Doing so she can speak to him in the drow tongue, more comfortable this way with her father. "I'd like to go and talk to you about what I do here in Martira Bay, if you'll hear me out. I think you might be impressed, if you take the time to realize my doings here. Maybe I can help you with anything you need to know in the city, Father."
Jacob listens to his daughter and smiles. Spoken in the drow tongue as well. "Once they're done with me then yes I'll join you, Del."
The dark elf turns towards the young lad Vassili. He was quite proud of Vassili's spell. "Vassili, that was very well done, young man! I will begin instructing you on a new orison on the morrow as a reward. I am quite impressed with you."
The youth watches Jacob talk to Delsenora, wondering what they're saying. Judging by Jacob and Delsenora's body language it was a pleasant conversation. He was beaming and when Jacob complimented him, he puffed his chest out and grinned like a cat playing in catnip!

<during dinner>
Lucius savours the food with pleasure, as Deari proved to be a really expert cook, and enjoys in all the happiness around. However, as he noticed Delsenora is not drinking, he becomes self-conscious, and reminding how he and Deari had lost control of themselves two nights before, he decides to step back on his drinking and stays in very quantities.
Meanwhile, he was inquiring Van about the amulet he intended to make for him, and whether Van needed any help. He was proud that Van had acquired the skills to begin crafting that sort of magic, but inside he felt something of a hole, as he talked with Van. Something was changing in him...
<later>
Lucius cheers heartily and very surprised at Vassili's spell. He finds the young boy's face so funny that he can not but laugh.
"I have to commend you to your teacher, Vassili, that was very good. But tell me, what did you say?! I couldn't understand any of the words you used! Did you?" He winks suggestively at Vassili and Jacob.
When Deari whispers at his ear, though, he is brought back to reality. He looks at her for a second. "I think it might be, and perhaps we should bring the harder topics later. I can see Jacob and Delsenora want to walk too" he says nodding in the direction of the two elves as they go about their exchange in Drow. "There's also something I'd like to tell you before I tell the others."

Deari is somewhat suprised by that and it stays in her mind even as she begins to get excited as she retreives the gifts... She grabs the two wrapped bundles and moves to the fore to gather the others attention...
"I think it might be time for us to give these two fine gentlemen their gifts... So from all of us, here are something to remember us by..."
She hands the appropriate gifts to Jacob and William. At which point she stands aside to watch as they open them up...

Jacob looks at Vassili and a smile appears on his lips. The lad looks at the dark elf and blushes, then turns to Lucius. "I don't know what I said, Lucius, but it sounds a lot like what Jacob and his daughter are speaking if you ask me."
When Deari hands Jacob the wrapped package he is taken by surprise. He holds it for a moment gauging it's weight. "I don't know what to say. I feel I should have brought each of you something, now. Well I guess there's only one thing to do I suppose."
"Come on Father. Don't leave us in suspense, open it so we can see." Delsenora is intrigued by the gift and was beginning to understand that these people really respected and admired her father. She was dearly hoping he would understand and at the same time, bless her endeavours here in Martira Bay. She was thinking perhaps if his friends left on another mission she might want to join them. But that was asking too much, she feared. She had never really belonged to any real circle of friends, if you can count a thieves guild in Zhentil Keep.
Jacob unravels the package to reveal a magnificent case. Running his fingers lightly across it, he tries to get a sense of it. "Well open the case, I bet there's something fun inside, dad."
He looks at his daughter and raises an eyebrow, then winking he opens the case. Inside are several scrolls. Pulling one out, he opens one to reveal a map of Darkon! Sighting Martira Bay on the map he smiles. Rolling it up he unravels another, revealing Barovia. He frowns, never having been there.
Delsenora is looking over her father's shoulder and hisses at the Barovia map. "I've not been there, father, but I have heard rumors about it's ruler and I'm not sure it's a place you want to go too. But this is all here say, since I've never been. Maybe one of your friends has and can enlighten you on Barovia."
"This is quite the magnificent case, Deari. All of you, thank you for the case and the maps. It is a perfect gift for me as you know my intentions here in Martira Bay. As for Barovia, Del, I think maybe these men and women might know a thing or two about it, but that all depends on if they wish to speak of it. Now, before I go and talk in private with my daughter I'd like to ask of you all something. A favor, if it were.
You've all met Delsenora. I know you all and have grown to respect you. I would, well to put it mildly, I'd like you to accept her into your group. This would be beneficial for all of you, I assure you. She may have her faults but so do we all. I can assure you, from personal experience, she is very good at what she does. Now that I know she is here, I will feel reassured if I know she is with you all. I am not asking you to babysit her, far from that. I just want Del to know what it is like to have friends like you. She never has had that opportunity in her life. I am also saddened to say she never knew her mother as she was killed soon after
her birthing. So she has only known me as a parent."
Jacob looks at his daughter and smiles, gripping her hand before releasing it and looking at the ground. Delsenora puts her hand on his shoulder and speaks. "It's true, I never did know my mother. And by the time I was old enough, my brothers were all out of the house adventuring and whatnot. What my father asks is somehting I was going to ask you personally. I see how much he admires you and wouldn't mind being a part of your group if you let me."
She paces now, eyes looking at everyone as she wanders the room and adds more "I was going to speak to my father in private about what I've been up to here these past years. I think you should know what I do to pass my time here as well so you can better judge me.
I arrived here a little over ten years ago. I won't hide it, I am a rogue by profession. But I do things a little differently. I don't know if my father told you, but he has a sister. Her name is Bryzyne and she worships a different goddess by the name of Eilistraee. He too did once, but found the morninglord. She has taken a vow of poverty to help people in need. Though I have no beliefs in religion I admire what she does. When I was younger I tried to help people with my skills but wasn't very successful at it. As I grew older I became more adept at my skills and had better results.
This was before I arrived here. Well for the first few months I studied the city and it's nightlife, criminals included as well as any guilds working the city. There is more crime than you might think here. But that's another story for another time. With my experience I felt confident I could help the downtrodden and poor of the city. Thus began my career as The Shadow. I basically steal from the rich nobles of Martira Bay, those who can afford to be rid of a few pieces of jewlery hereor there so I can help the poor of the same city.
Many in the criminal areas of the city speak of me but know not who The Shadow is. I am very careful at what I do. I also know people and am quite good at getting information. So that's what I wanted to say to my father and now you all know what I've been up to here."
She looks around and stops pacing. "I'll go grab a bite in the kitchen. I have what you might call a hollow leg. I'll be right back."
Delsenora exits the room. "Well now I know what she does at night. It is a noble cause, I suppose. Her intentions are in the right place, that's for sure. I'm not trying to sell her idea of joining you. But as you can see she has made a name for herself here."

Lucius watches happily as Jacob's face reveals the surprise and contentment for his gift, but as he asks his favour to the group and Delsenora relates her tale, he involuntarily recedes and bites his lip, in thought.
His first comment was "You'd at least have to behave a little, Delsenora. And perhaps dress something more too". This he said half-jokingly, but then his tone became more serious.
"Those are noble intentions and doings, Delsenora, but I wonder if you'll have ever hit on my family. If you are trying to be a justiciar, how much effort do you put in finding about the people you steal from?"

Delsenora looks at Lucius with a straight face. She doesn't even take the time to think of her answer. "I always do research before I do what I do. I find out who the persons are, what they do in the city. Once that is done, I actually break into the home of the target in question and look around, see how they live. Once that is done I gather more information about this or these people. I then decide if I do pilfer or not. I hope that answers your question."
"I think she's telling the truth because she did enter my
new home and stole nothing, merely looked around but was watched by Rizzen in case. She then left." Jacob looks at his daughter and grins. If you could see a dark elf blush , then Delsenora was the one who would be blushing!

Lucius nodded, silently, content with Delsenora's answer. It was a relief to him that all this story of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor was not just a poorly crafted excuse. Many people, when trying to do good, are so blinded by their convictions that they do as much evil to others.
"Very well, I will welcome you in the group. You seem to be a nice kid..."
Then, as he waits for the opinion of the others, he takes Deari's hand and says for her ears only, continuing an interrupted conversation
"Perhaps this is not as important to all of you as I feel it is for me, but I'm going through a shift of perspective on my life... and on all this adventuring. I have taken a decision and that will eventually affect the rest of the group, but I wanted you to know first."

Van is surprised of how fast Vassili casted his first spell. This kid was a really smart one. Getting closer he ruffles his hair and says:
"Congrats Vassili, it's really amazing how fast you learnt your spell. I bet in a year you will be more powerful wizard than me! Very well done!"
When Jacob opens his gift Van smiles.
"This gift is perfect for you my friend. You will see Darkon and Martiar Bay pretty clear here! As for Barovia...Well we all have been there, with our friend Tarlyn. It's not the best place to be. We felt an oppressive atmosphere for the very first moment we get there."
Then Van narrates briefly their adventures in Barovia.
"Hope you really never meet this man Strahd Von Zarovich if you might get there. As you understood from my narration he is very evil and very powerful. Only Tarlyn's wisdom saved us there!"
The wizard makes a small pause and gets a melancholic smile as remembers Tarlyn and how he saved them with his potions.
When Jacob requests Deselnora to join their group, Van frowns. She doesn't know much about the woman but the only thought that she could do steal something from him make his shiver...However when Deselnora finishes her story and explained what she does he looks at her and said:
"I have heard about the Shadow. Indeed has helped many poor people and never harm anyone and only stole from rich people. I agree with Lucius, welcome to our group Deselnora."

After dinner, William found seated upon a rather comfortable couch in the den with his saucer and cup of tea. Setting them aside on a nearby end table, he produces his pipe and tobacco from his jacket pocket. A smoke after a fine meal was always recommended by the Captain. And what a fine meal it was.
He smiled at the boy, Vassili's accomplishments in the art he had been learning from Jacob. He chuckled along with the rest at Vans jest regarding the boys prodigious accomplishment.
When it comes time to receive his gift, He still can't help but feel as if he does not deserve one in light of recent changes to his plans. He gives Deari a somewhat saddened and appreciative smile. He felt no one need trouble themselves so much on account of him.
Unraveling the paper wrapping, he is caught by the glint of soft light reflected off the silver surface of the finest compass he has ever seen. "...By the Divinity..." Is all that escapes his whispering lips.
He rubs his thumb over the image of an anchor surrounded by waves, catching his reflection on the surface, not caring how stunned his expression looks as it stares back at him.
He the slowly opens the flip cover and pauses not expecting the simple yet beautiful inscription therein. The names of himself and his mates.
Unable to look up at first, he simply mutters, "I just don't know what to say." He then looks up at the faces of his friends and humbly says, "Thanks, mates." He then smiles.
After Delsenora explained her intentions to the group a short time later, William had finished his pipe and was knocking the remains into a nearby ash tray. Looking at the young girl who had sofar outlived him by generations, William cast her a scrutinizing eye and replied, "I agree on one condition. You work on that itchy trigger finger of yers!" He then smiled and gave a short bark of laughter at his own lame comment.

Delsenora walks over to William and admires his gift. "You have really nice friends, William. Nice gift." And after he is done speaking, she retorts with a twinkle in her eye. "As for me having an itchy trigger finger, maybe it's that effect you have on us women, William. And that man walked in the way of my bolt, so it's his fault, not mine!" To which she giggles uncontrollably, punching him playfully on the arm.

Deari is very happy to see that the gifts were recieved so well. She is beaming with joy and goes around to fill the glasses once more with the wine to finish the bottles off.
"Your welcome very much William..." She smiles warmly and watches as Delsenora comes over and shows some affection between them and some playful words. The dark skined elven girl is quite playful and she wonders how she maintainted such in light of her lifestyle.
Thoughts pass through her head, and they are all pleasant. It will interesting to have another woman in the group... Especially one as lively as her...
She hands Delsenora her refilled cup... "It will be good to have you along... I have some skill in thievery but you seem much more dedicated to it and for the right reasons!" She gives her a slight pat on the shoulder and gives another of her smiles...

Delsenora smiles at Deari. Sizing her up she says "Well I take my profession seriously, Deari. It is good to know you know some of my profession. I think you are more," sizing up Deari with a practiced eye, "A fighter type, maybe like my brother," she eyes Hobert and looks at Deari with a knowing look, "a Ranger maybe? My brother is one as a matter of fact. His companion is a pegasus. It took him almost two years to gain the trust and friendship of Rauvlay.
Incidentally that was my mothers name, from what my brothers told me. Father wont speak to me about her, which is normal if you consider the circumstances, really. I look forward to proving myself as useful as my father has been to you. Plus," winking and placing a hand on Deari's shoulder, "trouble seems to have this innate power of finding me. I am sure yourself and the others can handle trouble, can't you?"
Delsenora grins at Deari. She was glad she was being accepted amongst the group. That William was very serious but it was nice to see him joke with her. She had been around long enough to know this was no ordinary group.
"I can see that the guys and gals have their best interests at heart as well as yours, young lady! William, be careful else she beat you at your own game, my friend. She's more slippery than a snake my friend. Though I am not always around her I know my offspring very well. Spells can help you discover certain things as you all well know.
I can see that you all will get along fine. Lucius you are quite right in asking Del these questions. I would too if I was you. Deari you chose your man quite well. I wish you both success. I really appreciate this gift, guys.
Van I'll take your advisement to this Barovia place into consideration for now. I believe we met right after this place if I am not mistaken. With my research I will learn more about this place and others. I may actually return to where Tarlyn perished and retrieve his ashes to keep them so I may bring them back to Faerun one day. As an afterthought I can tell that pour new friend Vassili is doted with a great talent for magics, the arcane kind.
I plan to teach him properly in the arcane arts. In between that I will research the lands and once I knwo as much as I can, I will visit each land and see what may happen. Don't worry, Van, I promise to be careful.
The maps will help me greatly, I thank you all once more. The dark elf sits back and observes his former traveling companions. He had a lot on his plate for the next few weeks, but he would find the time to send the guys a gift of his own which would come in handy for their next mission. By then he would have studied enough of this Barovia to go forth there! Vassili would accompany him, that was a given. The young would learn more of the arcane, even on the road.
Closing his eyes, Jacob smiled, knowing his friends would accept Del into their group. He was proud of her, though he wouldn't let her know it!
