I've always wanted to climb it when I was a child. Maybe we'll get the chance this time, hm?" From her perch on the ship's prow, Menya pointed out the landmarks of Sothis as she remembered from childhood, as the ship sailed up the River Sphinx towards the port, regardless of the fact that Hanifa was probably the one more familiar with them. She was visibly giddy with anticipation of revisiting the land of her birth and had taken up her position at the fore of the ship, balanced almost precariously on the prow, as though being a few feet closer to Sothis would make her arrival that much sooner.<br/><br/>The catgirl nimbly leaped down onto the pier before the ship had even finished docking. She closed her eyes and breathed in the warm air, tinged with the sweet scent of dates growing on the palm trees along the waterfront, and listened to the sounds of the hustle and bustle of everyday life in Sothis. "It's everythinya I remembered, and more," she said with a pirouette in place, and gave a friendly wave to the fishmongers who were starting to stare at the unusually behaving new arrival to their city. On the way to the temple of Nethys, Menya was practically standing in the rickshaw as she turned this way and that so as to take in all the sights.<br/><br/>At the spire, Menya let Hanifa open the conversation with the priestess, as the guide who was more knowledgeable about the place. She listened intently and when the discussion hit a stumbling block, she was all too ready to jump in and strike a deal. "Like my friend said, we're with the Pathfinder Society, we solve problems like this before breakfast everyday! This is Hanifa, and I'm Menya," she said, gesturing to each of them in turn. "How about this, you let us in and we take care of your little problem for you? You'll save a whole bunch of time and gold this way. How about it? Now, what can you tell us about the conjured monster inside?"<br/><br/><hr/><br/>(Natural 20 on diplomacy check! 28 total.) (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=61269)
