I finished my first chapter! Well, sort of. I might go back and add more encounters and it needs some cleaning up but it's written down in it's first form :-)

The gang needs to infiltrate a fancy party. Warren and Nori will pose as wait staff, Warren had experience and a Yolani servant is a common sight, and Nori can be unassuming if need be. Delvanna and Elsan however are a bit more noticeable and would likely draw questions from other staff. So instead they have to go the unsubtle route and enter the party as Guests, however that means fancy formal dress for them both, something that neither of them are familiar or comfortable with. Elsan may be very confident in herself and her body, hell she often fights half-naked, but dignified parties are a far cry from a fighting ring or battlefield, and light flowy silks (the only thing they'll be able to find in time that can be made to fit her large frame) make her feel exposed. Delvanna is more familiar with formal events, but she always attended them as the Son of a High Ranking Nobel, never as woman. This would be one of the first times she's ever had to be 'Pretty' and 'Ladylike', something she is far from confident as, and she fears that she won't really Pass and will only elicit awkward looks (on top of the many looks they are already going to get as a Telk and Rhokosh at a mostly Human party). Elsan and Delvanna prepare together, both nervous, but attempting to encourage the other. Their fears are somewhat alleviated when they exit their room to find Nori and Warren, already dressed as staff, with their jaws practically on the floor.

K you know how in lots of stuff with magic it will like manifest in like cool geometric glyphs when people use it? In Corelight it manifests in Fibonacci/Phyllotaxis spiral patterns because yeah
