This thread is my way of putting Zodika in Cormyr. While I know it makes encounters and discussions drawn out, I invite anyone interested in interacting with Zoe to join in.
This is an IC thread. Please stay IC. PM me with questions.
I won't discuss personal details that shouldn't be public knowledge and ask that you try to avoid bringing the roleplay towards that sort of information. As well, remember that this is the forums and Zoe cannot actually be represented in game. Please try to avoid RP that leads towards needing mechanics (like PvP battles).

Zoe nodded to the guards as she entered Valkur's Roar from the north. She was dressed in her common attire that plainly marked her as Zoe and she continued casually through the city towards her destination, Talbot's Table. Upon entering, she made her way to the bar where she sat, hood well over her head, and drank from an oversized mug, quietly speaking with Talbot with fingernails lightly clinking against the mug.
When it appears the conversation has run dry, Zoe stands slowly, pushing the mug towards Talbot and leaving a few coins next to it. She then makes her way towards the back of the room where she sits with her back against the wall, right leg crossed over her left. After lowering her hood she rests her hands in her lap. Zoe sits for a long time quietly watching those about the inn. She returns any looks her way with a cool, unsatisfied gaze, holding it until they finally look away.
Should anyone approach her they would likely feel a presence of power and confidence.

Zoe gives her a short unsatisfied look before returning to gazing around the room.
Her voice is calm and distant, as if uninterested. "Yes, Hello."

After a few days out of the city the tall and thin dark figure, dressed in black leather armor and covered with hooded cloak in various shades of black and grey ( Pako, for those who know him ) enters the inn in the middle of the night with almost soundless steps. Looks around briefly from under his hood without revealing himself before he rises two fingers to Talbot and gives him a sgin. Then briefly throws another scan at the crowd before stoping his gaze at Zoe. Then turns around swiftly and disapears trough the door into the night.
In meanwhile Talbot seems very busy. The scent that starts to spread across the inn gives away the preparation of a chocolate cake. Not long after the cake's being baked the shadowy person enters the inn in the same fashion. Throws at Talbot a small bag of coins while taking the cake along with a bottle of red wine and a room key. Gazes around again and picks the most distant table from the bar. Sits down and kills the candlelight on the table before opening his wine and starts eating his cake. Remains silent on his table while observing casually his surrounding.
Presents himself as calm and careless about whats happening around him. Seems like he's minding his own business.

Having spent the day and most of the evening sitting quietly, observing the patrons and eavesdropping on their conversations and the passing rumors, Zoe gathers herself up, tugs up her hood and moves towards the exit. Upon arriving outside, she takes a deep breath of the cool evening air and looks around. She scans the houses and rooftops taking note of which windows are lit, which chimneys have smoke, and anyone that might be seen moving about within. Seeming content, she begins a slow walk through the city, continuing her evaluation of the buildings and homes. She offers a polite nod to those she passes and addresses any guards she may know with a brief smile and "good evening".

Turns her head looking at Zoe. "I'm sorry have we met before? I have not been here for very long. I am Lynn Dove." Removing her hood her black hair falling around her shoulders. Her deep blue eyes sparkle as she smiles to Zoe. //I'm assuming they are outside, since both of our previous posts indicate our PC's are now outside. Zoe looks over towards Lynn Dove. The presence about her is cool and distant. Her hood shrouds her face, red glossy lips are barely visible in the dark. She speaks suddenly and confidently, " Never be sorry for anything, Lynn Dove. All mistakes and misfortunes teach a lesson you should be grateful to both give or receive." Zoe pauses for a moment before continuing in a more casual manner. Her voice is calm and smooth; it bears no defining accent, and comes in a seducing yet proper tone. " I do not believe we have met. I am Zodika... Do you live here in Valkur's Roar?" |

*Nods and smiles back, thus revealing his lips and continues eating. Half cake gone he orders another red wine and shifts with his eyes among the folks around trying to spot some of the other shady people he has seen the nights before.*

A man in black and dried-blood stained armour trudges past the two ladies, acknowledging them with a 'grunt' as he goes. His face is covered by a glowing-green-eyed helm, giving him a somewhat sinister appearance. Some may notice the brooch that holds his cloak in place is in the shape of a tentacus (five snake like arms each holding a longsword).
Upon entering Talbots, his gaze turns to Pako. He trudges over to the table and sits with a grunt, without waiting for invite or acknowledgment. He removes his helm, revealing a face covered with red tattoos (which could easily just be more dried blood), he regards Pako with his crazy-eyed stare before offering a grunt of greeting.

// While I don't wish to be rude, my intention is to keep this thread focused on Zoe's affairs & interactions with Zoe. If you'd like to RP between yourself and another please either start your own thread or move to private messages. Thanks.

Zoe stands quietly for a moment before she starts. Her voice is calm though direct, and that directness could, depending on the individual, be taken as apathetic and uncaring.
"I want to be clear to you so you do not misunderstand me. My concern with the destruction of your temple is not because I harbor a desire to aid the /Cripple's/ church. While my church may not wage open battle against The Cripple here in Cormyr, the nature of the two faiths forces us to be forever opposed. I personally find his faith hypocritical, poisonous and destructive to worldly growth. How they seem to have brainwashed so many is a wonder in of itself... If I indirectly manage to aid and or work together with the Cripple's church in such a task then so be it. It is a necessary evil... My intention is not to solve this crime for you, or the crown, but to rightfully clear my church's name, and, should my church end up guilty of such a crime, then I will work to 'create a solution' for those responsible." Her tone turns faintly flat hinting at sarcasm, "Surely the Cripples can take care of themselves."
As long as it is still offered, Zoe takes the drawing and appears to look it over.
"What is the name of the mage that did this and what did he look like? Do you know anything else about him? When did this occur? Were there witnesses? How was the damage caused, a specific spell or spell type?"

*The night providing no interest for Pako he stands up and motions Sieg to follow him as he gets out of the inn.*
*Would Sieg follow Pako, they would both disapear in the night. Otherwise Pako does the same alone.*

Zoe watches her walk off then grunts softly. She then turns in the opposite direction, looking for a few moments into the shadows of a dark alley. She flexes her right hand a few times and adjusts her hood before turning and continuing her walk through the city.

Over the next few days, Zoe can be found throughout Valkur's Roar. She seems to be keeping herself busy going from place to place through the city but she doesn't appear hurried. She smiles and acknowledges those she comes across and the overall presence about her is pleasant and friendly.
While she doesn't spend her entire evenings in Talbot's Table, she can be found there for a few hours each night. She typically holds a mug in front of her on the table, her sharp adamantine fingernails clicking casually against it, though she doesn't appear to drink anything from it.
Zoe is dressed in her common black and red attire with her hood pulled back off her head and is easily identifiable. Her bone handled whip hangs from her right hip and her red dragon bracelet holds firmly to her right wrist.
