The Wicked Witch

(Back Story: Prior to this point, Sabella had enlisted the aid of Myronides to help her find 'pretty' clothes. He had done so, but the best prize was out of her grasp thus far - a specific pair of shoes... but no one was sure where the elusive footgear could be found. Unable to accouter herself to her standards, Sabella fell back on her favorite thing to do - seduction and corruption. Individuals of Note: Myronides, Sabella, Abender Stormreaver, Tokugawa, Rubicant, Thaygar)

The Baths
[Exits: north]
You are in a spacious chamber. Marble benches surround the room, facing in toward the large bathing pool that fills its center. Steam curls up from its waters, and you are aware of the warm humidity that fills the air. Water flows forth from a statue in the center of the pool, keeping it hot and fresh. A marble archway leads out to the north.
Abender is here.
Rubicant is here.

Sabella gossips, 'Hey, Thaygar, I’m just trying to look pretty for when I die next...'.

IMM RECHO: I took your shoes.

Sabella gossips, '*wail*'.
Sabella gossips, 'That must be Lady Darkmoon... only SHE could be so cruel.... or Lorna. Lorna's a meanie, too!'.

Thaygar gossips (in old-common), 'Most pleasant to hear, Lady. This One shall see what He can do ... gathering something for its Loss would be a fitting task to send him on'.

IMM RECHO: Glad to know you think I'm a meanie.

Thaygar is hurt to not be included in that.

Sabella gossips, 'Any time, Lady of Chance... *mutters, 'Shoe thief!'*'.

Thaygar smiles at Sabella.

Sabella sighs.
Sabella pauses in thought for a moment.

Sabella gossips, Cept we think they're locked in the stinky ole Manor, and all the keys are missing... and Abe knows a way in, but he's being a meanie, too'.

Sabella gossips, 'And he won't tell how to get in!'.

Abender says, 'Now I won't ever tell you'.

Tokugawa gossips, 'thats not nice!'.

Sabella gossips, 'I even promised to stop attacking him and the warDancers for a whole WEEK!'.
Sabella gossips, '*sigh* But... alas.... to no avail.'.
Sabella gossips, 'I think he's _fibbing_ and he doesn't know HOW to get in.'.
Sabella glares icily at him.

Abender says, 'Your public proclamations are frivolous and serve only to anger me'.

Sabella says, 'I don't want to scare you.'.

Tokugawa says, 'oh, you dont scare me, you intrigue me'.
