<div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/3O8HDVVm.png)</div><br/>Natasha Drozdov (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=2329869)<br/>AC: 13 (+3 Dex)<br/>HP: 8/18<br/>Conditions: None<br/><hr/><br/>Natasha fold herself trembling now as the adrenaline rush dies down, leaving her barely able to stand. It had happened so quickly that it almost felt unreal, except for the corpses of the snakes as a grim reminder of what just occurred. A startled squeak escaped her as the doors suddenly burst open, causing Natasha to almost jump out of her skin in fright. As she recovered her wits yet again the guards make short work of...well, the already deceased snakes, but in a way that makes sure they aren't getting up again.<br/><br/>Once she calmed down Natasha found herself remaining close to Senfra, feeling safer in staying near her mentor while the merchant raised a storm at his treatment. It didn't take much to appease him, or at least the offer was generous enough to stifle any further argument from him as he gave no further fuss before leaving. She almost objected when Senfra was led away, likely to treat her wounds, but realized that she hardly had any standing to protest this. Looking anxiously at the woman as she's questioned Natasha didn't even consider telling a lie. Maybe if she was more politically savvy it might have been something she tried. "The snakes came from there" she pointed to the bamboo chute "I...er...they were dropped in here while we were resting from this evening's activities." she said earnestly, wondering if she was going to get in trouble for fighting back. Luckily for her telling the truth was the wisest course of action, and no trouble immediately was incurred.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><br/>By the time Faizah approached Natasha to update her on the status of Senfra she had mostly calmed down. She was still a tiny bit jittery but not the bundle of nerves she had been earlier. "I...think I know the priestess you're talking about...I met her in the baths actually." Natasha explains, leaving out the part that she knew said priestess from her old life as well. "I'm glad Senfra is being taken care of." she added, figuring she'll get her chance to talk with Ellen soon enough...<br/><br/>A merciful and quite welcome couple of hours to recover herself before she has to go back to work. Not that she could really relax all that well given the events that just occurred. Thankfully she was given a chance to take her mind off of things by the approach of one of her fellow working girls. Natasha's eyes are drawn to the girl's ears and tail...it made her look exotic to her eyes, and a little cute if she was being honest. It would seem that the girl had something to tell her though, and Natasha was attentive to what she had to say. "My name is Natasha, by the way..." she introduces herself, amused at the description given to her. Perhaps Natasha is a bit too trusting but she readily opens up to what she discovers is a "beastfolk". An appropriate name to be sure. It would seem that Senfra has friends among the other working girls as well...not surprising, and probably what had drew Natasha to her as well. "Well, I'd like to find out who was behind all this. I know I can't do much, but I'll do whatever I can." she agrees to help, maybe a little too readily. In the following conversation Natasha is able to learn a bit more about the rather frightening woman she met earlier. Recalling the fight as well she also would ask her new friend about what happened to the corpses of the snakes. Something about those serpents had woke up something inside her, something that Natasha found herself wanting to know more about. In the end though she agreed to follow her new friend's lead to discover the truth behind the attack.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><br/>Investigation time!<br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Find the Sneks!</div><div class="spoiler_body">Since Natasha agreed to work with Zhandi no roll needed</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Pay Senfra a visit</div><div class="spoiler_body">Another auto-succeed since she told the truth to Thrasorn</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Heard it on the Grapevine</div><div class="spoiler_body"> Insight check: 14 Success!
