I'm here and ready to keep confusing the hell out of everyone I meet.

(click to show/hide)So you recognize the pouch that's partially concealed by her robes as a spell component pouch, telling you that she's probably a wizard or sorcerer. You've heard of the Spellkeys. They are a kind of focus that allows beings to use arcane or divine spells, which are strictly controlled by the governments of all the major city states, themselves which are organized into loose (but competitive) confederation. Doing so without them for casters whose spellcasting ability is not innate is impossible in the modern era (but wasn't in the ancient past). You have some ideas why, but not enough to be certain (we can talk about that in PMs). Some subtle designs in her robes tell you that she's likely from the city state of Heliopolis, which you understand is the closest one to this location geographically.
Alas, I have no reach. I'll try a tumble to get close, for what it's worth.Tumble: 26Sorry for the delay. Hopefully that'll do it!
