Guild of Mages (Pathfinder)

[Sethala]

Long ago, the world was rife with peril, dangerous monsters living in the countryside, and every day risking death for those that went outside the city walls.  It was in that time that the first Mage Guild was formed, with various spellcasters banding together to help out the populace.  While they were the first guild to do so, they were far from the last; dozens of other guilds sprang up to join in, some out of noble reasons and a desire to help others, some only wishing to line their own pockets.  Yet their existence shaped the world for centuries, quickly beating back the darkness and freeing the people from the constant fear of peril.

It's been several hundred years since then, and now, the guilds have become commonplace.  Even a small city has half a dozen different guilds, and any town with a name has at least one guild branch.  Jobs and desire for the guilds has started to become scarce, enough that some of the guilds have taken to fighting amongst each other in order to claim the jobs that do show up.

You, of course, belong to one of these guilds.  It's not an easy life, by far, but it's at least interesting, and as senior members, you've gotten quite a bit of money and control over what goes on.

And that's my new Pathfinder game.  As I mentioned, everyone is members of a mage guild, which means not all classes are available.  Specifically, character creation rules:

5d6 drop two lowest for attributes
Level 8, standard gold (33,000 GP)
Characters must be able to cast 3rd-level spells, or able to cast 2nd-level spells from two different classes.  (Note that this is flexible, and if you have an idea for a spellcasting character that doesn't fit the criteria, let me know and I may ok it anyway.)
Max HP for first level, roll and reroll 1's and 2's for every level after first.

I plan on having this a more sandbox-style game, without a set plotline for the characters (but perhaps large events that are worth paying attention to).  I don't know how many characters I can realistically run for, but I'll try to keep it as open as possible.

Yes indeed!  Well, if Nicci is part of this I pretty much have to join in.  Anticipating a magus as well, but may vary that. 

Edit: my build largely depends upon whether a character I put together for another game gets in; will know by the 4th.  Based on that, I may tweak him for a replay or come up with something completely new. 

[Anon315]

I am interested in this game, and checking build possibilities.

EDIT: Would you be okay with a Synthesis Summoner / Oracle?

[Dracorion]

I'd like to also note my interest, thinking of a battle sorcerer, as I do enjoy the prospect of playing one in a game where most other people are likely to be squishy spellcasters.

[Yukina]

I'd love to play. I'll be getting right on my character.

Edit: What do you mean by "dropping two lowest for attributes" though?

Edit 2: Nvm, I get it now.

[Muse]

*waves*  I believe I'd like to try and recap a dragon disciple idea from an older game.  That said, if no one else wants to play divine... *Looks around, had someone said oracle earlier?*   

[Yukina]

I'm going to be making a universalist wizard.

Edit: What do you mean by "dropping two lowest for attributes" though?

Edit 2: Nvm, I get it now.

Just to be clear for anyone else, it means you rol 5d6, then drop the two lowest dice so you're only taking 3d6; still generating a number between 3 and 18 but with a significant trend towards the higher numbers.

[Yukina]

And for fun, I have chosen merfolk as my race.

[Dracorion]

Sethala, are you allowing monster races or templates?

[Sethala]

Monster templates and such will be on a case-by-case basis, so let me know what you're thinking (in general terms) first.

[indarkestknight]

Would the Swiftblade prestige class be permissible?

[NicciKotor]

Catgirl > fish girl.

[NicciKotor]

Would the Swiftblade prestige class be permissible?

You would need to take 6 levels in wizard to get it, but it would work. You would have to take a feat to get martial weapons as well.

Should work.

[EroticFantasyAuthor]

I would like to voice my interest as well.  ;D

Elf is more cute! So adorables!

I do need a Master for my kitty. The sort of master that only gets some after I feel horny enough, and takes care of all of my food and lodging expenses. Along with being a good masseuse and knows how to cook properly for me.

True.  But the mermaids from Pirates of the Caribbean were not unsexy.

Nah, he can still fuck me as much as he wants, but only when I feel like it, and usually after I romp around with other men first. All the while, he still needs to pay for all of my toys and food and housing, and do all of the house chores and other tasks.

[eBadger]

Yeah, exactly, a sub!

Should you instead want to try out a Master who takes you when he feels like it, passes you around or keeps you frustrated according to his mood, kicks you off the foot of the bed when you're squirming and likes you in a glittering collar, leash, and nothing else, lemme know :)

Alas, some catgirls simply aren't clever enough to be trained properly.  Bad breeding, I think; or possibly their mothers drank too many potions while they were pregnant.  It's tragic and regrettable, but what is one to do?  They may look cute enough, but probably best to find one that appreciates her rewards and knows how to earn them.

Yep. That sort of master deserves to be locked out of the house, nude, with various other embarrassing things happening at once. Being unable to properly appreciate my adorable kitty self and how much fun it is to cook for me!

[eBadger]

Indeed.  Which returns us to your need for a submissive!

[NicciKotor]

I can still have a master that is scared senseless of me and my stabbing capabilities, and yet can still give me a good hard and rough fucking when I come a mewling and shredding off his clothes.

Oh, certainly, and I've little interest in any of those domestic breeds either; but there's no subtle difference between the mutual respect of a master and playful companion, and a fool who caters to the whims of a feral that bites the hand that feeds her and is incapable of training or polite company ;)

Best to send those sorts off to the wilderness, or perhaps put them in a zoo where their antics can delight and edify visiting crowds.

You just don't understand what a proper master means when it comes to proper petting techniques and knowing his place when it comes to trivial things like food and rent.

I love the image!  If I don't play Nys, maybe I'll have to find an interesting race to be instead.

[Sethala]

Sheesh, you two certainly bicker a lot.  Be careful, or the guild leaders will have to strip and chain you both up  >:)

Anyway, before we get started I'd also like to plan out a bit more about how the guild works.  Here's what I'm thinking:

Your guild is based in a fairly large city, with three or four other large guilds to contend with, as well as a few smaller guilds.  The guild house offers plenty of amenities to the members: a large enough library for researching and learning spells, alchemical laboratories, quiet rooms for crafting magic items, as well as your own private quarters and a staffed kitchen.  The common areas of the guild house are taken care of by a cleaning staff, though your own personal belongings and private quarters are your own responsibility.

In addition, the guild has several other guild houses in other cities, as well as a few smaller outposts in small villages.  All of the buildings are connected with a teleportation network that is free for guild members to use (the guild does allow others to use it, for a modest fee, so long as they don't belong to a rival guild).

I'm open to ideas of other features for the guild to have, as well as any more detailed descriptions.  The guild also needs a name, which I'll let you guys pick out.

[NicciKotor]

The Sultry Paw!

[EroticFantasyAuthor]

Hmm tough to narrow down the ideas and concepts.

Should I create a different version of a past character, or play something new. <ponders>

[Sethala]

Actually, I was thinking elven sorcerer 6/swiftblade 2. Racial weapon proficiencies.

Though actually now that I think about it, city-raised or chain fighter half-orc may be a better choice...

Ok, checked out a few threads on the swiftblade in Pathfinder.  The general consensus is that it's a fairly powerful prestige class, and doesn't need much buffing beyond increasing the hit die to d10.  I would also say that the prerequisites for skills should be tweaked, removing the Concentration skill (as it doesn't exist) and lowering the requirement of Spellcraft down to 4 ranks (remember that you could get 6 ranks in a class skill by level 3 in 3.5, as you can put up to 4 ranks in a skill at first level).  This wouldn't make it possible for a lower level sorcerer to take it, since you don't learn Haste until 6, but a wizard could take it starting at level 5 instead.

[Re Z L]

Thinking of putting together an Arcane Trickster since we seem to be missing out on all the rogue-y goodness  ;D

[EroticFantasyAuthor]

Just for reference, I believe by RAW 3.5 to Pathfinder conversion of skill prerequisites is -3.

[NicciKotor]

Our guild should be more local, and only have that one branch. That way, we are more low key and desperate for more work, on top of needing to go to extreme lengths to pay for property taxes and utilities. Which means we should be running a cosplay cafe out from the front room of the guild house. Get in some extra cash without going on any dangerous missions and being hired by lewd perverts that want to pet my tail!

Nys Vendatti
Elven Transmuter
116 years old, 5'8", 150 lbs.

Nys Vendatti (Niss Venn dot ee) is the young scion of the Vendatti clan, a group of elves committed to trade, diplomacy and neutrality.  The clan has a long history as nomads and craftsman, and several hundred years ago used their travels and knowledge toward trade.  They now stand as a wealthy group with a mixed reputation: they are known to trade with anyone, for anything.  They are the source turned to for the exotic, strange, or blatantly illegal.  Recently they’ve gained both renown and condemnation as sellers of exceptional slaves. 

The physical appearance of the clan – silver hair and black nails - is said to derive from a history as dusk elves coupled with an influx of drow heritage, as they utilized marriage unions to gain entry into the markets of the underworld.  Relations are maintained to this day, and the Vendatti clan routinely roam the upper tunnels of the underdark.  Nys himself spent many summers during his youth with his beloved "Nana," a drow matriarch and the sister of his grandfather, the closest pure drow in his line.  Despite her fearsome reputation in the underdark, Nys is very fond of his Nana and often recounts stories of his adventures, mostly beginning with some sort of misbehavior - this sometimes gives him a unique viewpoint of understanding societies that don't adhere to the philosophies of men. 

Nys’ mother was killed when he was still a boy, about 70 years ago, when a lordling attacked them for transporting goods purchased from an enemy realm, and his father has never remarried; as the only son of the Highlord Varthen Vendatti, a remote and stern if loving man, Nys was raised with a certain expectation to one day assume a role of leadership within the clan.  Despite this, the long lives of elven kind imply any ascension to serious leadership is centuries away.  Varthen holds noble titles from many lands, given as reward or purchased for the convenience of nobility, and some devolve to Nys as well; however, they put little stock in them, and the only one Nys views as anything more than a credential is his clan title: the Silver Prince of the Vendatti.  His training has been long and practical, including swordplay, magic and business.  He's also developed a talent for body art, including piercings and both temporary and permanent inks, and sometimes utilizes slaves or friends as his canvas.   

Now still a young adult by elven standards, Nys is nevertheless well traveled and much older than most mortals he encounters.  He was sponsored to the Guild by his family, who saw it as an opportunity for training and experience as well as a lucrative business association.  His goals involve a swift rise to power, proving himself capable and bringing the Guild and his clan wealth and security.  As the only son of the Highlord, expectations of him are high – possibly unachievably so.  He is impatient and reckless by elven standards although most short lived races don’t have the same perspective on time.  He has never felt any lack of bravery or honor, though he views them much differently than traditional nobility.  Risk is foolish without promise of return and bringing the clan profit and success is the highest form of duty.  He'll certainly help the damsel in distress: he just won't be suicidal about it, and failure to compensate him for the deed, at least within their capability, would be offensive. 

His attitude towards others is likewise at times a bit mercenary, a carryover from his clan’s outlook toward business.  He values honesty, dislikes inflicting harm and understands antagonism is unproductive, but is ultimately goal driven and opportunity or desperation can quickly dismiss manners.   Friends are invaluable, but they don't expect favors for nothing.  A true ally is someone you can expect to keep their word; and those who can do so are very rare. 

Nys has extensive experience with slaves and sees nothing wrong with power and subservience, although he views them as cherished investments and decries unnecessary abuse as inhumane and an unforgivable waste of assets.  The family trade tends toward bondservants who are willingly sold into servitude to pay their own or family debts, with the expectation of training and placement where they will be a treasured asset with the possibility of eventual freedom: courtesans, artists, talented tradesmen and the like.  Many children have been sold to the clan by families incapable of providing for all their young or unable to provide a talented child's training to rise above subsistence.  None of this is to say the clan never takes a firm hand, but the Vendatti trademark is to shape and reward than to bully and force.   

Currently clan is the one thing sacred to Nys; nearly every action is weighed for its benefit to the family, and betrayal is unthinkable.  He would sacrifice anything to protect them – especially for his two younger sisters. 

Orientation: Nys is strictly dominant, and primarily heterosexual. 

   

Olivia Vendatti
Raven Familiar
A black raven with a single silver feather
Or sometimes human, early 20's, 120 lbs, 5'5", auburn hair and green eyes

Nys' familiar is a Raven named Olivia; as with other raven familiars she speaks common, with a lovely feminine voice.  In personality she is well matched to her master, if also a frequent source of frustration for him; she is normally submissive to men and a switch with women, highly sexual, voyeuristic and enjoys shocking others with periodic vulgarity and rudeness.  She takes particular delight in humiliating Nys' sexual partners: sometimes transforming simply to watch or taking advantage of his absence or distraction to taunt, tease, or torment.  Although bisexual, Nys has forbidden her from touching other men: something she finds "rather fucking annoying," but abides by with the dedication of a true submissive.  She is surprisingly (and rather pointlessly) kleptomaniac and often steals anything shiny and small that's left out, usually abandoning it once bored (although she is more capable of judging value than most humans, this rarely influences her desires.  She particularly prizes mirrors - she's a bit of a narcissist - bits of glass, beads, buttons, and coins).  She lives moment to moment, with no long term goals and a somewhat childish lack of foresight. 

Several years ago, Nys crafted a unique magical item for Olivia: a silver feather that allows her to alter her shape at will.  Both before and after this, the two have shared many intimate moments.  Although the shapes available to her are many, her favorite is a pale human woman. 

Olivia's Silver Feather: Although made of silver and inscribed with elvish runes, this feather is as fine as any real one.  It grants Olivia the ability to Alter Self, usually changing into a human although she sometimes enjoys other forms for mischief.  Because of Olivia's tendency to lose things and her lack of ability to carry items in her raven form, the Feather was designed to take the place of a natural feather and cannot be removed without significant pain and some injury.  Replacing the feather in Olivia - or in another creature - requires the use of a Piercer's craft.  The Feather changes to accommodate other forms; in her human form it becomes a nose piercing, while in others it may seem to be a silver claw, fang, or something similar. 

[spooky]

Okay, I have an odd idea... I want to make a kobold.. but well it's a kobold.. I want to make him an illusionist however and I feel like he could still be of interest. Good idea or bad? Honestly...

[eBadger]

I've seen kobold illusionists before, yeah. 

TBH I've never seen much appeal in the race, as they're sort of a classic "omnipresent but never described much" type...but as far as fitting in, we have a mermaid, a cat, and a ball of fire, so you'll be fairly tame by comparison.

True, though he's dropping one of the skill prereqs (as there's no more Concentration skill), so 4 sounds about right as he still can't meet the other prereqs until level 5 no matter what class he takes.

I might have to adjust him to be the straight man (as in This, he's totally hetero... or at least mostly hetero with bi-curious leanings. He is an elf, after all. Other male elves are pretty).

Perfect harem scenario lol. I love tv tropes!

It is! And we can keep the arcane trickster, because she's an air elementalish person. And because we might need one. Do we need more healing than my Wand of Infernal Healing? (hint hint. Maybe our kitsune transmuter could go Collegiate Arcanist, add druid spells to spell list.)

[eBadger]

Not a clue what that even is, but I'll look into it. 

My other-other alternative is to expand Olivia into a full character in her own right.  She promises hilarity and sexiness. 

Haven't really found a suitable race for her though, all the fluff-appropriate ones make for rather shitty wizards.

Collegiate Arcanist

They get druid spells (of max wiz spell level -2), and a buncha other fun good-related goodies. Protection from evil! As a constant effect! Feat requirements less than awesome, but hey, is otherwise good class.

[eBadger]

Hmm...will ponder.  Not a bad class, although most of the requirements are meh. 

And I'd have to be Good! 

[Dracorion]

Pfft, who wants to be good? Being neutral or evil means you can take advantage of others.

[eBadger]

Or play pranks on them without that irritating twinge of guilt. 

[Muse]

So, this is a wee hint of the hyperactive dwarf girl I'm working on: 


   Tarkanna's family were a low clan on the totem pole.  The dealt with outside.  They bread war mounts for alongside the mountain—great, fierce boars. They did mercenary work for human clients, and even pansy elves. 

   That’s reputation never so much bothered the Stoneskulls.  They work hard, fight hard, and love their family very much. 

   When Tarkana was a young solider, she captured some magical trophies from a goblin pyrotechnicst.  They were treatises on transcendental alchemy, along with some other trinkets.  She became very curious about the art, and eventually joined a mage guild to continue the study.   

[EroticFantasyAuthor]

I've having trouble deciding honestly. A favorite of mine seems to be elf wizards, but a gnome illusionist sounds fun, then again a cleric of a magic deity could work too.

[Muse]

Cleric would be a roll no one else is filling, E.F.A. 

And my alchemist wouldn't have to spend all her money on healing potions to keep us alive.  :P 

[EroticFantasyAuthor]

Healing potions are a waste of gold. Better to buy a wand, and if 3.5 material is allowed, the Healing Belt from WotC's MiC is always a good decision. Might even go Mystic Theruge(sp)

[Re Z L]

Again, A) I bought a wand of infernal healing. Like a wand of lesser vigor, best level 1 downtime heals.

B) Oracles also get the spontaneous cure/inflict and often allow for fun if you don't wanna be a cleric. Potions are bad.

[EroticFantasyAuthor]

Hmm maybe wizard/druid.

Edit: But if the guild is based in a city, not too sure how well that'd work.

So, I mentioned this in PMs but never in the main thread:

Item creation feats specifically allow the player to start with spending the cost for an item instead of the normal price out of their starting gold.  However, I'm still capping that at only half of your starting gold can be spent on item cost, as the assumption is that you still need to do something to actually earn all that gold that doesn't involve sitting around crafting magic items all day.

Specifically, you can get both belts with +4 for 16k total, and spend another 17k on the armor (for both mithral material and the enchantment, which you can't make yourself, as that requires the Craft Magic Arms and Armor feat), but that puts you exactly at your limit, which means you can't learn any spells beyond the free ones you get each level.

[Re Z L]

Na'vi Liss is coming along, should be finished sometime tonight.

[EroticFantasyAuthor]

Could we have a bit more information about the starting area?

[Sethala]

Still working on it, but....

The guild is in a large city.  There are a few small parks in the city, but mostly it's just a lot of buildings.  The city itself is in a mostly flat plain, with some farmland nearby, and a large forest, with several main highways leading out to other cities.  The city's population is around 50,000 people living within the city walls, with about another 10,000 living in the nearby area.

There are two other guild branches in nearby small towns, each with a population of around 300, which are connected to the main guild house via teleportation runes.  Guild members are free to use them as necessary, and it's not uncommon for people in the small towns to come to the branch and ask a group to teleport out to help.  Your guild is the only guild in those towns, but there's four other major guilds in the large city, and a dozen or so smaller guilds.

I'll plan out more about the area in a bit.

[Dracorion]

EDIT: Aaaaaand guess who didn't see the GM's response to this.

I disagree. We have many sultry women, and we have someone with a paw. We could call it "The Pet Shop", as we have an ifrit, a catfolk, a merfolk, and a creepy guy. (All we need is a sentient plant and it could be the little shop of horrors.)

Just in case anyone ends up wondering later, I made a houserule for Yugi's character and gave the kitsune's Change Shape ability to merfolk, with the drawback that they lose the natural armor bonus while in human form.  So Marissa won't end up completely left behind when you guys aren't underwater.

[eBadger]

Cool beans, there's enough transformation stuff out there that it's pretty easy to ensure he's included (see Olivia's feather). 

We do kinda sound like a magical sex store now.  Is our niche market enchanted dildos?  'Cause this does put a very different twist on a trickster transmuter.

Nature Clerics could work too, maybe using an archetype of some sort.  There's also the Nature/Wood mysteries for the Oracle.  A witch could work with the picture (though that's more on the fringe of things).  The Treesinger Druid archetype for Elves might be neat too.

As far as using Dex for attack rolls, there's really only a handful of weapons that it works with like you said, and I don't know of any off the top of my head that would work with a spear.  :-(

[EroticFantasyAuthor]

Basically just happy being able to use Dex for spears instead of Str. What would be the best way to do that? Just a weapon refluff? Or an additional feat that has Weapon Finesse as a prereq?

Thinking longspear.

For the character I am planning that she is based in the forest, member of the guild that checks in regularly. Pretty much nature's emissary in the city. Would that work, does it fit with the campaign world?

[Sethala]

Would you be ok with a spear that doesn't have reach or brace but works with weapon finesse?  Or is reach necessary for the character?

[EroticFantasyAuthor]

Reach would be preferable aye. I haven't done much planning. At this point pretty much using the picture for inspiration for character creation. Not even sure about druid.

I actually meant for that to be a +3 and not a +4. mithral chain shirt. It's even reflected as a plus three in the AC bonus I just missed that particular issue. I didn't want to go over half my starting gold on one item, and with all the other things I have I would be over the 33,000. After all I wouldn't have even been able to afford my own components pouch after that.

Noted.  Looks good, then.

[Re Z L]

Channel Smite into Guided Hand could be another possibility if you go Cleric (or some other class that has the Channel Energy class feature.  It's not Dex, but would let you use your primary casting stat (wis) for attacking with a spear, assuming you followed a deity that favored that weapon.

[EroticFantasyAuthor]

Having trouble deciding on a class currently.

Heh, when looking at the picture, what class does it scream?

For me, there's several candidates.

But with the mages guild, I'm thinking more arcane than divine.

[Anon315]

Well again, we really NEED divine. What about Oracle? There are some great options there.

[EroticFantasyAuthor]

I'll look into it, but I'm honestly not sure about divine at this point.

Thinking maybe a nature themed bard, witch is also something new I've yet to ever play.

Edit: I see the character spending alot of time in the forest. What ways could she keep in contact with the guild? Would it be possible for a teleportation rune to be set up in her favorite glade/grove? Though guessing that would be quite expensive. How close is one of the teleportation rune towns to the forest?

[Re Z L]

Personally I prefer to coming up with a concept before finding a picture for this very reason  ;)

Of course if you want elves, I can give you elves!

Also, witches get healing magic and are Arcane casters.

[EroticFantasyAuthor]

Came across the picture awhile ago via a kind poster in Finders & Seekers, seemed like a great campaign for it.

Currently looking over the witch.

Went with a Tengu Transmuter instead...pulled some ideas from my last concept and added a strong penchant for trickery.  She's very much a shapeshifter, though, so expect lots of forms.

Oh, and giving her Bartending to help with the guild slash brothel.  And alchemy to make the bartending more fun (aphrodisiac drinks, anyone?  Or was that the powder that turns your skin blue?  Whichever, have fun!)

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

   

Arianna Morgan
Kitsune Transmuter

Background:
Arianna began her life as a simple fox; perhaps a bit more lithe and cunning than her fellows, but unexceptional until she was summoned by a young transmuter to become his familiar.  Arianna was initially resentful, unleashing her ire at captivity in surprising and destructive ways.  Fortunately her new master found the antics charming and slowly won her over: they spent many years adventuring together, working for a Guild, and finally in seclusion.  The name and exact fate of Arianna's master is unclear: she has stated at various times that he was devoured by demons, ascended to immortality, or was simply passed out drunk when she left.  Some members of the Guild suspect she's still in regular communication with him.  Whatever the real situation, Arianna was the recipient of a powerful form of transmutation before she was released; life as a Kitsune allowed her to keep her memories, her vulpine nature, and maintain some shapeshifting abilities of her own. 

Although at first somewhat adrift, it quickly became apparent to Arianna that she had learned a very great deal at her master's side.  Her smattering of absorbed magical knowledge and few humble skills were, she came to realize, far more than many so-called wizards could claim.  For now she's settled into the Guild as Mistress Artisan, forging equipment as she works on her abilities and adjusts to life as a human.  She maintains her sharp sense of humor; combined with her penchant for alchemy, the rest of the staff are wary of any food or drink she's handled.  She wouldn't harm someone, but sees little reason not to spike a chaste monk's drink with aphrodisiacs or turn a bard's voice to a croak for an evening.  The same humor sometimes becomes evident in her magical items, although she's careful to make these particularly subtle or somewhat positive. 

Perhaps as a result of her time as a familiar - a position where being ignored is routine - she is surprisingly fond of simple observation.  She is fascinated with people, sexuality, manners, and behavior.  At times she will even contrive a situation simply to take note of how people react. 

Although now technically a kitsune, Arianna has had few relations with others of her race and doesn't consider herself one of them.  She makes no attempt to hide her nature, but is more frequently found as either human or fox, with her kitsune form as a somewhat awkward halfway point. 

Orientation: Arianna is very mercurial and unpredictable, but she is typically dominant - or at least not submissive - and very voyeuristic.  Otherwise, her attractions are haphazard to say the least, but generally don't exclude anything.  She tends to "facilitate" between others, sometimes with their consent and other times despite it.  She's also been known to intentionally prevent coitus just to enjoy the passionate frustration of her victims. 

Maid's Uniforms: These four sets of clothing appear to be high quality, risque maid's uniforms: boots, stockings, elbow length gloves, hair ribbons, choker, corset and abbreviated skirt in black silk and white lace.  They have no effect when worn; however, when activated with a command word they rise into motion as though worn by an invisible girl.  They perform menial duties as commanded, as per the Unseen Servant spell, and serve as domestic staff and waitresses.  There's a certain erotic styling to them: the figures are lithe and graceful, with no covering on the chests or undergarments.  There's nothing to be seen, but the feel is completely realistic: and depending upon Arianna's whim the Maids can sometimes be turned to other uses.  Inspirational image.
