Hey guys this is sad for me to write this, but I need to back out of the game. When I started this up I thought that I would have the bandwidth to be able to do it well, it has been the one thing too many for me. I wanted to write this out instead of just simply ghosting you all. I founded my own nonprofit about 4 years ago and recently it has been doing really well. Also on the side I do 3d animation as a freelancer. So between those two things and caring for my family my plate has too much on it. It is frustrating for me cause it is always the TTRPG that has to fall off when push comes to shove. I hate to have to leave you, but I cant stay. le sigh. I love what I do and I want to be able to put my whole heart into it. Playing with you guys for this short little time has been great though. The game has been a blast. I love the friendly rivalry between Alandri and Silas and the romantic awkwardness between Alandri and Thandeka to name a few things. I am not leaving because of you guys. You guys are great storytellers. If you like, keep Alandri as an NPC and very possibly if things open up I can come back. Don't stop telling stories. It has been a pleasure friends.

Done

sorry my reply was so slow. its up now.

My servants here know better what my sister wants. If you can produce in front of him or any of my other most loyal servants” Gives Silas a meaningful look. “These special chickens for my sister to their satisfaction then you can get paid handsomely. Otherwise, ill make sure your name is known among my circles to never shop at Seydou’s again.” Mechanics

They know all of your sister’s weird asks better than I do. So do you have any of those strange chickens that they described? Clearly these are not the right ones.” Alandri makes this last statement giving Seydou a withering displeased look. Affronted that he was given the wrong chicken. “Give me what my servants just described. I am not one to cross. If you do not bring me these chickens then my servants here will know.” Alandri gives a look around and adds in, “and while you are at it clean this place up or at least use some perfume of some kind. The smell is awful here.” Mechanics

sorry color is being weird on my latest post.

(edit: oh boy rolled a 6. Ill update this post sometime this weekend. I just got back from vacation and I am mad preparing for an event booth for today. So if I dont get it done Saturday definitely Sunday.) Alandri loved going to the market. It always brought back fond memories of when he was a child and going to the market with his mother. This nostalgia was brought on by all of the wide variety of scents that filled his nostrils. The cinnamon and honey baked goods, the lavender candles, an array of fresh herbs. It was a wonderful taste of home, a home he was no longer welcome at. To take it in as much as possible Alandri closed his eyes and took in a deep inhale to capture as much of the market and subsequently his nostalgia as he could. Cough. All yours, buddy. Cough. Just the person he wanted speaking in his head. *groan* Now it seams I have to hear your irritable voice in my head as well. Its ok leave it al...... The wall of animal stench was not something Alandri was prepared for. If the rest of the market was beautiful blend of sweet and savory scents, then Seydou's stall was opposite version of animal feces, piss, and vomit. Alandri's body couldn't handle it. Without his consent his stomach convulsed and the pastry he bought before coming here was now swishing around in his closed mouth. The sorcerer puts up a hand to the group conveying the universal sign of wait and goes around a corner out of sight. He returns looking a little flushed and gives a weak smile. "Well that was embarrassing." Seeing the shop keeper, Alandri puts on his game face and his teeth sparkle just a little bit less this time as he says, "Ah yes. These people here are my oh so humble servants" Alandri looks back at Silas and gives him a knowing smirk as he continues. "I am on an errand for my baby sister who is having a birthday party and I need the perfect gift. It has to be something small and cute." He brings his hands in close to gesture something small. "So some sort of baby and oh yes she wanted it to be a bird and you know something that wont fly away later. Oh and colorful. Do you have something like that?" Mechanics

Alandri clearly needs help.

Using his charm he starts to ask around. Mechanics

I can make the main diplomacy roll for gather information. I have a +7 to it. Why dont we stick together. If you all want to roll some assists.

I would love to do phoenix sorcerer with that kind of theme following the God of the sun. Is that permitted? I only ask because it's unearthed arcana.

Hey guys do you think we could move this along a little bit faster? I think we lost a little bit of steam here.

He tucks it in an extra fold in his robes instead of having it tied on his belt. At least it's a start. "It's in safe hands." *Eye twinkle* When Thandeka starts to make her way back, Alandri speaks up. "Thandeka, it might be best if we get going to the market. I am sure she is fine and she overslept. Well if she sleeps. I don't know, Esi and Haibram here can point Lily in the right direction. We can walk slowly if it makes you feel better." (What is a good landmark that Alandri could suggest be a meeting place for Lily to meet us at?) Mechanics

Dang bro. I'll be pràying for you. That is a lot

Sleeping in a bed that was no where near as soft as he was used to combined with his mind racing and reeling from his new life now at Magaambya. He only had a little bit of money on him and none of his possessions from his home. Maybe he could have his mom send him some of those. Discreetly. But this was his new life now and with a lot more alone time in a room smaller than he was used to living in he had time to think. Alandri was determined to prove himself to his asshole dad. Prove that his success was not because of his inherited status and wealth, but from his own merit. Laying down alone in a lumpy bed (in his opinion) was starting to give him some doubts as to his rash words to his father, but it was time to live with his decision. He couldn't help but lead with his heart no matter how stupid his father thought that might be and if he was honest how stupid he thought they might be. The new change in his life of being at Magaambya, though dramatic with a some challenges from where he was just a few days ago, it wasn't all bad. Being the social butterfly that he is he has been enjoying meeting the people, well for the most part. The lovely Lilly was such a sweet heart despite all of the tragic things that had happened to her. The unshakeable optimism she portrayed was a soothing balm with all of the chaos he was experiencing in his life. Kiakara, though terrifying, Alandri respected her passion and conviction. Silas despite being an ass was secretly a welcome challenge. And Thandeka he was still working out in his head which still felt a little fuzzy. Alandri did not have any extra clothes so he was forced to wear the same outfit that he wore yesterday. It was hard to accept the social fopaux. Wearing the same outfit two days in a row?! Well this was his life now and it was not like he had much of a choice. At least he could wash up. He grabbed a spare towel in his room and opened his door to head towards the baths, but just as he peaked out he saw Kiakara heading straight for it. In order to avoid the scary orc he simply waits in his room till he hears her leave and then sneaks in after she goes back into her room. He had to give it to Magaambya, this lavender bath was really nice. This makes up for the small room at least. Afterwards he heads back to his room, gets dressed and without thinking about it goes around the corner of his room to knock on Thandeka’s door. His hand hovers there as he realizes what he is about to do. He knew that walking her out to the Prerequisite was more than just a simple gesture of offering friendly pleasantries. Alandri knew himself and knew where his heart was. He shakes his head and says quietly to himself, “What are you thinking Alandri? Best to leave this one alone.” He walks away from the door and heads outside to meet with Esi. As Esi and Haibram laid out the task of going out to the Kafesi Market to the group, Alandri started to get excited. Now this was something he was more than good at. He was born to make deals. When asked about who should hold onto the money satchel, Alandri immediately steps in and says, “Ah yes let me take the money. Being from a merchant family myself, I think the money is safest with me. Finding a good deal is second nature to me. Ill be sure to take good care of it.” And maybe I could find some nice spare clothes. Mechanics
