B6: The Veiled Society - IC

[kinem]

Rezak waits in his corner, either ignoring Celythia's signal or not seeing it.

everyone but Rezak

Theosius finishes his ale. "Very good. Well, since I'm giving you the room, I'd best head out and get over to my friend's place. I just got the key myself; here it is. Good night, my friends. You'll be contacted here." He hands Celythia the room key.

The scarred man gets up from the bar where he was sitting with the others and heads outside.

"Well, I'd say we've had a fortuitous start to the day," says Celythia to her companions. "A free room, a bit of gold, and the promise of paid work? Not a bad way to start a visit to Specularum."

[jkason]

"Indeed," the bard agrees, smiling. "Now, perhaps we should inspect these rooms and figure out sleeping arrangements?"

[Theroc]

Kynar nodded. "Indeed, arrangements are best made before they are needed. I suppose we should investigate this room first, while we are here. Oh, and Caridoc, how much did the other room cost you? I can help recompense you."

[ghostcat]

"Don't forget we also have a room down the road. My feeling is that we cut our losses on it and all stay here. However, that means that Celythia has to share a room with one of us.

[Rhun]

"I suppose it can't be much worse than sharing a camp with you on the road," says Celythia.

[HolyMan]

ooc

just saw the post reading everyone gets up and goes outside since Rezak would keep a small lookout (from the corner of his eye) he would see the group leave, but wonders what is up

is it possible to trail the group outside and "hear" what was posted from the post that read

"Well, I'd say we've had a fortuitous start to the day," says Celythia to her
companions. "A free room, a bit of gold, and the promise of paid
 work? Not a bad way to start a visit to Specularum." 

on down or would you like to play it another way??

[kinem]

ooc: Only the man the other PCs were talking to went outside. The PCs are still at the bar, and seem to be ignoring Rezak, who broods in a corner.

The room is still crowded with drinkers, so I don't think Rezak can hear what the others are saying over the din.

[ghostcat]

Seeing that Rezak was still brooding in a corner, Caridoc smiles at him and signals for him to come over and join them.

[HolyMan]

Rezak notices that the man the group was talking to is gone and hurries over to the bar.

"Ye nay be a believin' wats 'ust happens ta mees." He says throwing the small pouch up onto the bar.

ooc

Hopefully someine will say "You won't believe what happened to us." so I can go back and read all the everyone but Rezak sblocks LOL

Barek quirks up an eyebrow. "Do I want to know how you got that?" he asks, then shakes his head. "No matter, we've had our own encounter..." he then proceeds to recount events in Rezak's absence.

[Rhun]

While Barek and Rezak talk, Celythia takes the key to the room, and goes to check out the state of the accommodations.

[kinem]

ooc: To be honest, I'd prefer if you just tell what happened in your own words, rather than having people read the sblocks. Because it's not obvious, IC, that you trust each other completely or remember everything exactly. Reading what actually happened kind of ruins that.

In the module, the scarcity of rooms was supposed to divide the party, leading to two different encounters.

[HolyMan]

ooc

I havent read them yet and I was going to have Rezak take the room at the first inn the group was at i didn't want to stay were these fellows could find me.

[kinem]

ooc: OK. jkason, please go ahead and recount Barek's tale.

[jkason]

((OOC: Sorry, been out of contact for a few days))

"The long and short of it is that we've gotten another room thanks to the man who just left. Also, a few gold. Oh, and a job," Barek says, smile growing as he relates each bit of good news.

"We've just signed on with The Torenescu for some private work ... heading off trouble. I'm afraid we didn't get anything much more specific, though we did try. He claims he might be able to get our weapons unbound, though he also seemed a bit drunk, so it's unclear exactly what he can or can't do. It may turn out he just wants us to do his housecleaning in the morning." the half-orc adds a wink with the last bit.

[HolyMan]

"Ah jobs be good. Did in ye members ta ask bouts the pay?" Rezak replies to Barek. "Buts more important ye say ye has a rooms here too. That may come ins handy, cuze wats happens to me."

The thief then orders a drink and after a gulp he points to the small pouch. "Givin' me bys some wierd man with a bunch 'o henchmen in masks with 'em. He says 'Ye stays here good I mays have'n work for ye.' ana he gives me tat. Not sure wats be a in its." He says taking another drink looking at the pouch over the rim of the mug.

[ghostcat]

At Rezak's disclosure starts swear under his breaks. "Well it looks like we are working for two rival factions. Next thing we know, we will be ordered to kill ourselves."

[Theroc]

Kynar chuckled faintly at the response to Rezak's story. "I would suggest we ask around and try to find out who these people are that want our assistance, from someone not under their sway, so we may assess how we wish to proceed."

"Well, there's the room, and we each received some coin as a sort of gesture of goodwill, but honestly, I don't think we did establish our rate," Barek admits mildly. "I think the assumption was we'd be paid for each job on its own scale."

Barek laughs, a rich sound itself. "Now wouldn't that be a tale to tell?"
