Arachne (♂ Human Villager form)
Not seeing larger conflicts as her responsibility, Arachne decided to to travel to the count's castle in order to meet the rulers of the region, and possibly offer her services to them.
'He' ate his meal, paid for it and read the memories of the people around to learn the location of the castle. Once she knew it... she headed out. 10 in Master Spy (Mesmerism, Read Minds) to learn the location of the count's palace.
Heading out after eating and paying for my meal.

You arrive at the castle and are stopped by a pair of guards. "State your business."

"I have come to offer my services to the ruler of these lands", the 'peasant man' said with a smile.

"You got some kind of special skill or service?" One asks. "We can't just let you pass on that alone. We'd be roasted over a slow fire metaphorically for screwing up like that." He declared.

Arachne (♂ Human Villager form)
"Quite a few, actually", the man said before teleporting 10 ft away, and shapeshifting into a perfect copy of one of the two guards. "I am a master spy, assassin, thief, bounty hunter, and sorcerer. Among other things." 1 in Ninjutsu (Teleportation) to 'jump' 10 ft away.
3 (Ef) in Shapeshifter (Shape Shifting) to transform into one of the two guards.

"Alright. That's pretty impressive. Fine, come with me." He said leading you inside.
Soon you are led to a lounge room where a blonde with black hairband is waiting wearing a shin-length strapless pale green evening gown with open-heel darker green pumps on her feet.
"You may drop your disguise elf." The woman said. "I can see through it." She said holding a sheathed white sword in her lap.

(OOC: **Little reminder of Arachne being not exactly sane and genuinely believing herself to be a giant spider in dark elf form, as opposed to a dark elf who can take the form of a giant spider.)
Arachne (♂ Human Villager form)
"That is impressive, the 'guard' said as he turned back to her dark elf, black leather clad and cloaked form. "Though I am no elf. I am a spider.** This is but my favored form to deal with civilized people", she explained. "I assume you are the ruler of these lands?" Dropping her transformation.

"That's correct. I am The Elector Countess Celestia Ralgris." She said nodding.

Arachne
The dark elf nodded. "...And I have several names. I am the Spider, The Many-Faced, The Many-Eyed, the Dream Weaver. I am the Lord of Nightmares. My Drow self is known as Naephree Halyass... but most who deal with me call me Arachne", she stated.
"I am an assassin... a thief, a spy. A bounty hunter and a sorceress. A necromancer and a shapeshifter. Mine is the art of death in all shapes and forms, but I can perform many other tasks as well. As a master of disguises, I am capable of performing countless different roles, but what I do not know, I can learn."
She bowed down slightly. "And I have come here seeking an employer in need of my services."

"I see." She said. "In that case. I may have a few jobs in mind for you." She said standing up and leading you to a balcony where in the distance you see a 500 meter tall obsidian tower. "You see that dungeon over there." She said. "I have sent enter companies of soldiers over there, and yet they come back with barely anything if they come back at all... If you can. Raid it and see what treasures you can bring back to me."

"Your request is acceptable. What do you offer me in exchange?" she asked.

"The lion's share of whatever treasure you find for one. In addition to a hefty pay on my end." She said. "Plus I would no doubt be indebted to you which would be useful in the future."

Arachne
"Very well. Then I accept. I will depeart immediately", she said. "Is there a specific form you would like me to take when I return to facilitate interactions with your men?" she asked.

"I will make sure they know to recognize you as not an immediate threat when you return." She said nodding.

Arachne
"...Understood. I will return with the treasure once I'm done with the tower", she said simply as she headed out, transforming back into a guard's form, although different from the earlier one this time. 3 (Ef) in Shapeshifter (Shape Shifting) to transform into a random-looking male guard.
Walking out of the castle.
