Session One: The Season Opens

The Gala
The Season is beginning in Skovur! Everyone who's anyone in the nobility will be there, and then some! The halls of the Vrelvelgix family are already practically full of song and dance--

Two people, however, have problems. Master Gillian Barrow has never landed an invite to this gala, thoroughly curbing his ability to gain noble patronage. Lady Ashes Arytevivex Shantzi of Blanchedfield grew red scales en route to Skovur, and is certain they'll unmake her if discovered.

Lady Ashes, Ulhar and Gillian meet at the Blue Flask, a tavern for adventurers proudly bearing the emblem of Shara Sunathar. Ashes speaks frankly of her situation, drawing the concern of Trithza, the owner, and Ulhar, for very different reasons. Ulhar tries to comfort her about her scales. Ashes and Gillian work out an arrangement: she'll get him an invitation if he can hide her scales. He can, and he does, and she does.

The gala goes almost flawlessly: Ulhar gets good facetime with the nobility, with Tatiana, the daughter of a Jeweler's Guild member, on his arm. Gillian rocks the halls and heavens with a crooning performance. Ashes gets to mingle with the nobility without her disguise being seen through, including with Lord Constantine Vrelvelgix.

There is, however, a single hitch: Lord Hadrian Vrelvelgix somehow knows, and lets Lady Ashes know it in no uncertain--and not particularly friendly--terms, as the night closes.

Still, everyone is intact and better for it by the end...
