Dannylonglegs Posted August 12, 2013 Author Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) William stays outside and digs with his shovel William stuck his shovel in the street of the Town, looking for who-knows-what. In the darkness of the evening, William could only find dirt, and a sharp stick of wood. He picked it up on a whim. Maybe he could stab someone with it? William found: (Shard of Wood: WP:1 Dagger) While he dug, he saw Dice and his companion walk down the road to a merchant's tent, and discuss business with the man he seemed to be friends with. They chatted, and Dice gestured to his wares repeatedly. He then stated something with his hand covering his mouth, and the two walked into the tent.

"What do serve here to drink?" Alexandre hopes for a grand potion. The Bartender smiled and stated, "Well, we've got Ale for a gold, good beer for two, Wine for three, and a nice barrel of northern mead. You could have a flask of that for 15 gold." "Well, I don't see the problem of added security." "There's nothing added about it! They're completely replacing us!" "I understand you. Isn't your leader real friendly with the Queen though? Why isn't she taking this up with her?" _________ *pause* "Hmmm." "Do you recall last weeks sermon?" "Aye. 'Just as the wolf hunts the weak in the dark forest, so to do lies and betrayals hunt the believers in the forest of doubt.'..." "True words. True words." Edited August 12, 2013 by Dannylonglegs
Capt.JohnPaul Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 "No, I'll pass." Alexandre continues to listen, and see if they say anything else. "Hey Arnulf," Alexandre whispers, "maybe you could talk with those guys over there about the security of the different roads, and the Black Guard. They seem knowledgeable. I'm afraid they won't trust me, I look too much like an armored mercenary- exactly the kind they seem to resent."
Shoker86 Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 "No problem Alex, I'll find out what I can" Arnulf then aproached mercenaries "May i join you for a drink mates?"
Dannylonglegs Posted August 12, 2013 Author Posted August 12, 2013 "No problem Alex, I'll find out what I can" Arnulf then aproached mercenaries "May i join you for a drink mates?" Arnulf, who suddenly felt the weight of another chaotic bomb magically fill his pocket, made his way over to who he suspected were mercenaries. "Uh, yeah, sure." chuckled the un-armoured one. "What's the name, son? I'm Private Krimlock of the Queen's personal guard, and this here's my friend Ben." _______ "...'and for those who succumb to pride or hubris, eternal damnation awaits in the deepest pit of hell. Those who feel they know better than Ennoc, who seek out other gods to pray loyalty to--those who betray our lord--must burn in the flames of their own folly.'..." "That is precisely what this nation needs. The Heathens who hide their cowardly forms in the dark forest should burn at the stake."

Dannylonglegs Posted August 15, 2013 Author Posted August 15, 2013 "Name is Arnold, if I understand you there are some problems on the road, I thought I might ask you guys, you see I'm a stranger in this land " "Ah, you're here to see the First Harvest Festival, I take it? See the Lords and all their pomp, and the Queen pulling their leashes? Come to see the Barmaids out-drink the farm boys and shepherds? Ah, Festival's a great time of year." mused 'Ben.' His friend was a little more serious. "Yes. Do not enter the forest. This road becomes a very dangerous path through the woods. No one goes there anymore except those who wish to hide. Take the Westway road if you're headed North." He stated, before taking a sip of his Ale. He turned to his friend. "Nothing good comes from the north. I don't see why the Blackguard doesn't deal with the wolves themselves. Perhaps Cecil's over-proud of his army." The thought appealed to the soldier, and he chuckled. The other table had fallen quiet, with the two murmuring prayers.
Fred Daniel Yam Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 William walks in, "Anything else we need?"
Capt.JohnPaul Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Alexadre turns to William, "I don't need anything, though Arnulf is getting some local info." Alexandre is ready to leave.
Shoker86 Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 "Thank you lads, it is time to go" Arnulf raised up to follow Alex
Dannylonglegs Posted August 17, 2013 Author Posted August 17, 2013 "Well, enjoy the festivities!" With the Party finished talking, they left the inn and waited for Dice to come back. Just then, they heard a banging noise from the tent that Dice had stepped into. What would the party do?
Capt.JohnPaul Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Alexandre puts his hand on his Sword Hilt, and lifts it slightly. "What was that? William, I think it is your choice on what we do."
Capt.JohnPaul Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 "I think he was curious about that noise we heard from the tent Mr. Dice was in. I don't want to barge in, weapons drawn, so it is your choice."
Fred Daniel Yam Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 "I think he was curious about that noise we heard from the tent Mr. Dice was in. I don't want to barge in, weapons drawn, so it is your choice." "Let's go in then, without weapons."
Dannylonglegs Posted August 20, 2013 Author Posted August 20, 2013 The Party members, slowly decide to react by entering the tent without their weapons bared. They coalesced around the green striped merchant's tent. The Party saw the cause of the noise. A crate of flat sourbread had been dropped. It seemed that Mr. Lawrence and his trading associate weren't strong enough to carry it well. Dice chuckled and scratched the back of his head. "Well... We can still eat these." Dice stated to his associate. "Uh sure." The goateed man shrugged. "You already payed for them anyways." he chuckled. "Don't remind me Pat. How are these sourbreads so expensive?" "It's Festival tomorrow. Orsedd'll be entertaining nobles from around the nation. That tends to jack the prices up." Pat smiled weakly. Dice slapped Pat on the back. "I know, I know. I'm just giving you a hassle." Yoro reached down and picked up a bread. She stuffed almost half of it in her mouth and began chewing vigorously. "Mmmm! Oh yes, we can certainly eat these, Dice Lawrence!" She exclaimed. What would the Party do?
Capt.JohnPaul Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) "Do you need any help, monsieurs?" Edited August 20, 2013 by Capt.JohnPaul
Shoker86 Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 "We could carry those boxes Dice, seems like a heavy load"
Dannylonglegs Posted August 22, 2013 Author Posted August 22, 2013 "Do you need any help, monsieurs?" "Sure!" Stated Dice. "Wow, you lot are quite helpful. I made a great deal when I hired you. Here, take this crate and walk it over to my cart over there. These'll be rations for our trip." He stated, directing the party to his cart. "Alright Pat. I'll see you tomorrow morning before we leave." Stated Dice in farewell. Yoro curtsied a slight farewell. He and Yoro followed the party to his crate and he tied it down. "Alright guys, we'll be meeting the Shepherd tomorrow as we leave the city. She'll accompany us on our journey. Her safety and the safety of her sheep are paramount to the success of our endeavor." Dice stated silently when they were alone. Yoro looked around to see if anyone was nearby. "We'll leave after we catch the parade. You should have time to buy whatever you please... But first. Let's sleep!" Stated Dice, a grin on his face. He lead the party back to the Inn, where they found the same lodgers as before still talking. Dice spoke with the barkeeper and walked the Party to their rooms. Would the Party Members go to sleep?
Capt.JohnPaul Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 "I suppose I'm a bit tired, good night all." Alexandre goes to his room, and falls back on his bed, armor still on.
Dannylonglegs Posted August 23, 2013 Author Posted August 23, 2013 The Party decided to sleep. They each entered their own rooms and went to bed. Following a restful night, the crew each woke up at the crack of dawn to knocks on their door from Dice. "Wakey wakey." stated Dice. "Alright, the festival's started. Do you want to watch it through, or do you want to do other chores while it progresses? We'll leave town after the Parade around midday."
