The man, craggy-faced but lean for his age, and faintly smelling of tobacco, gasped deeply as he noticed the visitors. He threw two splayed hands across his face - it seemed not so much a reflexive (and hopeless) physical defense instinct against an ambush, though, as a desire to obscure and hide his facial features. Aria chuckled under her breath; maybe a married man, or public figure, or both.<br/><br/>Elia seemed to notice, and when he spared one hand to push her face from his slick organ, she glanced over her shoulder with a gasp, then spoke in a somewhat cloyed and sticky voice, "I know one of them, V- I mean, sir..."<br/><br/>Ara laughed, dismissed her disguise glamer finally, and laughed, "it's me."<br/><br/>"...Both of them. They mean no harm - and they won't even know you or anyone else here; they were travelers, just passing through." Despite her ardent oral attention just now, one dose of cum already clung to her chin and another along cleft of her exposed cleavage.<br/><br/>"At unusual speed," the man mused skeptically, but studying Kass's facial expression, with his eyes peeking between his fingers, seemed to have a calming - and then<em>uncalming</em>, albeit in a somewhat different manner - effect.<br/><br/>Aria laughed lightly, "She's right. We'll just be-"<br/><br/>She noticed that Kass seemed more than happy to stay, which was quite fine with her. The man frowned, then spoke, "Well, as you saw my face already..." he seemed to admire Kass's face rather intently for a moment, cock flexing upwards as he did, "What man minds an audience of a few ladies more?" He looked critically at Aria, "I shall have to acquire an item of magic like hers, to change the guises of my girls - a different face and body every day and eve!"<br/><br/>He took a handful of Elia's blonde hair, and groaned as she resumed her energetic fellation. Frequently the man's eyes flicked to the other two, perplexed by by the tomes or other items they studied. Aria donned the monocle (which she didn't think suited her aesthetically, but no matter) to study their new treasures, agreeing it a fine use of her time while Kass pored through the six tomes. She periodically informed Kass of her inferences, at such moments as they both seemed not in concentration.<br/><br/>Few individual wizards could claim such a vast or lofty personal repertoire, but Kass would find no spell anything like the one they'd witnessed devastating the desert. Kass in her thorough search, though, would notice two slight oddities. Both of the Conjuration tomes had one spell in common,<em>Gate</em>, - a perfectly possible and hardly unheard of redundancy when wizards stole, bought, or (most often) pried-from-dead-fingers each other's spellbooks with natural overlap; though the observant Kass would also note both spells and spellbooks shared the same handwriting and notational conventions. The single Divination tome, meanwhile, had a slightly-too-thick back cover with acoustic qualities that suggested it held its own thin hollow sleeve.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Firion:<br/>amulet of nat armor +4 and con +6<br/>headbant of int +6<br/>rod of metamagic, Maximize<br/>ring of nine lives, 7 charges<br/>(will get exact text later - a ring of nine lives can be used to 'preemptively' heal 20 HP when dropped to/below 0 HP, or to make a failed save a success; the charges are one-time, not per-day, and IIRC the latter usage also has a 1/day limit)<br/>ring of spell storing, currently w/ Teleport<br/>dagger, light crossbow and 20 bolts<br/>six spellbooks<br/>copious research notes<br/>misc travel gear<br/>handy haversack w/ 15,000 gp of coins, gems, and expensive material components and foci<br/><br/>Leila:<br/>amulet of nat armor +4 and con +6<br/>circlet of wisdom +6<br/>rod of metamagic, Twin<br/>(Twin Spell casts two simultaneous copies of the spell, with identical targeting, etc.)<br/>ring of nine lives, 6 charges<br/>monk's belt<br/>morningstar, dagger, 4 chakrams, light crossbow and 20 bolts<br/>encoded journal<br/>misc travel gear<br/>unholy symbol of Shar<br/>handy haversack w/ 20,000 gp of gems, coins, and expensive material components and foci
