Will be lead to servant area. Finzu will quickly show how they must prepare the goods, before asking to help out if asked, and saying he'll be back after he's gotten rid of the cart. ○ Party have to give up all their weapons.

Get party familiar with area) - Party arrives with cart at Navara Estate. Finzu Nisenblinch takes them to enterance, where they are greeted by Juan Halphen - Head servant at Navara Estate. and Margot - Teen servant girl of House Navara. Finzu introduces party to Juan. Juan then introduces Margot. Juan and Margot shows party where they should place their goods in servants quarter, and where they can do their preparations. A lot of stuff going on, so only room for at most 2 party members (if you really squeeze) working there at a time. ○ Carry in goods. ○ Finzu shows what needs to be done - i.e. honey-confetti must be unpacked and very neatly placed on serving plates in a particularly aesthetic way with a few other small ornaments. § Are several types of honey-based confetti he's had made. ○ Finzu then says he has to find a place for the cart for the night, and asks party to continue, and to also help out Juan where necessary. ○ Finzu leaves, says he'll be back later. He has to help out Marcon Pelluzi - one of 3 leaders of Wayfarers Union when he comes back, but he'll see them again by the time serving is to start. ○ . ○ Juan asks Margot to bring Narthael upstairs so he can clean himself up again. ○ Juan will ask if they could help out Margot with some of the preparations, since there's only room for 2 of them working there at most. She can show them around at the same time, so they know where things are for tonight. § Margot will show them around, and ask them to help carrying and placing furniture etc in the garden area. 1. Upstairs with Narthael/Washing area. (Goal: Introduce that there are hidden pathways in house. Introduce kids and context for them being there) ○ Can see kids running around on the 2nd floor. They seem to be playing a hide-and-seek type game. There's a LOT of kids. ○ Margot will show him to area where he can wash his face. She'll wait there with him. ○ Javion - Human male kid, around 9. will eventually "fall out of the wall" from behind a cabinet. Will note that Narthael "looks weird". Margot will respond that one shouldn't say such things to people's faces. § Javion will approach and inspect Narthael, curious. ○ Bonbelle - Female dwarf kid around 8. will arrive, and complain that "we said no hiding in the walls this time". ○ Margot will be a bit hesitant about them bothering Narthael, though if Narthael shows any sort of magic trick, then her curiosity will get the better of her. ○ If Narthael does anything interesting, he'll be swarmed by kids. Kids will ask Margot if Narth can play with them. Margot will relent with "if he agrees to it". ○ Margot will return downstairs to deal with rest of party. 2) Showing people around/Preparations (Let party know what the plans for the night are.

Margot will ask if a couple of them could help out with re-arranging the tables, chairs, etc. Some of the items are a bit heavy for the younger servants here, and the older ones have their hands full, and thus could use with some off-loading. 3) Arrivals (Introduce Edrian Navara as a good guy.

Peneli: I wasn't trying to convince you, merely stating that we may find ourselves in a situation where we don’t have a chance. Less mouths would lessen the risk.
