[LPF] Rodents of Unusual Size, pt 3

[section][/section]

Commander Jacobson
Having delivered the gold, the White Cloak watches and listens as the heroes make basic plans. At times it seems she is still actively sizing each of you up. As the time frame solidifies, she speaks, "Two hours is fine. When you return, report to me at the White Cloak station in Incudine. I will pay you then."

[sblock=Timing]Two hours should put you on the road before noon.[/sblock]

Joren nods with a smile, picking up his coins and standing up, energetic and eager to get going, "Two hours sounds great. I'm going to look into getting some food for the road, and I'll meet you at the stables."

[sblock=OOC]Should I put in my purchase list now, or wait until we're at the stables? And, Jacobson said, at first, 100 gold, then later 120 gold, so which should I account for? [/sblock]

Dunkel says, "I've no further business at the shops. Two hours is also fine with me. Gives me time to enjoy a smoke before we head out." The dwarf leans back in his chair and smiles as he gathers some tobacco from a pouch and places an empty pipe upon the table.

[sblock=Mystie]Happy 3rd birthday. You may begin work on your level-up. [/sblock]

"Very well then. I shall depart and return in the allotted time. Until then, a good farewell..." He bowed, and with that, the strange man left the room.

Cruendithas accepts his payment and follows the others out to run his errands and prepare for the upcoming adventure. "See you all at the stables" He replies on the way out.

Commander Jacobson
[section]With that, the White Cloak Commander rises and addresses the group, "It seems you all agree, so I should be going. The map and directions to the site are yours." She turns and heads to the door, only to stop and add just a little more.

Turning back slowly, Jacobson seems to give her words a little extra consideration before speaking. "I see inexperience in several of you. So, I'll tell you this: I chose you because I think you can do this. Work as a team, trust your friends, and leave nobody behind." In an uncharacteristic moment of expression, she smiles to you all and concludes, "Good luck."

As the commander leaves the room, the only sound is Bubba making short work of his food. He is likely to be done well before Mystie.[/section]

Grunger, Dwarven Warrior
[section]As you funnel out of the meeting room on your own schedules, the increasingly intoxicated Dwarven Warrior, Grunger, hails you with huzzahs, calls for good luck, and a plaintive, "Take me wif ya! Pleeeeezzzzeeeeeeee!" He waves in your direction.[/section]

[section]The trip to the stables passes uneventfully for those who need to locate a mount. Gentle, refreshing breezes seem to almost magically spring up as you approach, and a man named Jaycus listens to your needs and has stable-hands bring out mounts by name, tailored to suit your needs. In particular, Jaycus deals with Jonas' request by having his hands bring forth a mare named 'Myrtle.' If anyone thought to snicker at such a name, the thought is quickly ended when Myrtle turns out to be a beautiful chestnut heavy horse--clearly one of the finest of the lot.

Anyone needing instruction is quickly taught the basics of riding before they leave. Jaycus seems to take a certain pride in his work, and nobody gets a mount that is too spirited for them to handle.

[sblock=The Deal]Ponies=20gp/week, horses=25gp/week, Myrtle=40gp/week. Pay one week in advance. Comes with saddle, equipment, and food. All gear comes with color coding that matches the mount in question, and includes the mount's name.[/sblock][/section]
