The Enigma Society: Curators of the Occult

GM-Info!
Work in progress!
Slightly NSFW!
In the outskirts of Bridgeport, where shadows dance to the tune of secrets, lies the enigmatic treasure trove known as Warehouse III, concealed within the city's northern rocky bosom, underneath the Conservatory. The owners go by the cryptic moniker The Enigma Society: Curators of the Occult - or simply TESCO.   For ages untold, these covert sentinels have kept watch over the strange and sinister, tracking malevolent artifacts to their lairs. When an unholy relic stirs, a TESCO operative strikes like a phantom, meticulously documenting and locking the eldritch oddities away in the endless depths of their vaults.

In their masquerade, you'll find Plektrum Rockbreaker, a dwarf from Skulk, navigating the city streets within an obsidian carriage, drawn by ebony steeds.  
Grandolph Grieck by Dean Spencer
And then there's Grandolph Grieck, an orc with a taste for cigars and the art of a swift exit from any disagreeable discourse. His talents extend beyond mere debate, crafting ephemeral smoke rings and floral distractions that serve as his curtain call.   Both, in their polished attire and dapper toppers, are the epitome of decorum, seldom absent from society gatherings. They hold lectures about the plants of The Conservatory for the students of the Arcane Academy as well as for everyone who is interested.

As one would expect, they are also esteemed members of the society known far and wide as the Honourable Men, a covert fellowship committed to procuring and bartering the most remarkable and eclectic treasures - whether they be earthly pipes, whimsical headwear, enchanting music boxes, or the most exotic flora.   At the front lines as the Conservatory's face stands Mila, a gnome of discretion. She tends to its botanical wonders, all while harboring a silent awareness of the mysteries concealed beneath the surface. Yet, her silence is compensated handsomely, for some secrets are best left unspoken in the shadows of Bridgeport.

I love your artwork! Is that commissioned? Or do you use an image source website that I'm not familiar with?

The dudes are stock art from Drivethru. All my icons like the ring are from either a-ravlik or REXARD (see footer), the building is a snapshot I took in Second Live, a virtual world. :)

'distracting people by blowing smoke rings and flowers and then vanishing quickly into the opposite direction' This would work on me, not going to lie.
