Zia took a seat and listened to Lady Elvinor's briefing. She was being tasked with securing an ancient artifact from her family's history. No pressure or anything. The intimidation she felt to the stakes, Zia locked down, just as she had with the frayed nerves she felt on the night of a large performance. This was really no different--she just had to perform.<br/><br/>"I appreciate the offer of an assistant , Lady Elvinor, but I'm used to..." The young elf was going to insist that she could handle this performance on her own, but Zia stood up when a double of herself stepped out from beyond the screen. She had to blink a few times to make sure what she was seeing was correct. Being a user of illusions herself, Zia's instincts led her to examine her 'clone' closely.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Perception Check</div><div class="spoiler_body">At 2012-10-06 14:26:45, Zia (uid: 14136) rolls: 1d20a23 Result: 35 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=41482); Success</div></div><br/>She smirked. "A commendable effort," Zia said, walking toward the double. "But..." She couldn't resist reaching out and touching one of 'her own' breasts. "I'm a bit bigger here. I don't know if I should feel offended that you overlooked that." She smiled playfully , not hiding the fact she was teasing. Zia extended a hand and shook her double's. "Pleasure to meet you Jax."<br/><br/>"What more can you tell me about these adventurers," Zia asked, turning back to her auntie. "If they recovered his ancestral piece of ours they must be very capable treasure hunters. I can do the legwork myself, but is there anything you can tell me about them specifically? Who they are...what they like?"
