Svexyn, Folg and Mogan
Svexyn:
Svexyn notes the cart nearby and points it out. "I'll take the cart to go with Meynan. Apparently, I will need a better way to haul gear around. Load it with 2 of those small barrels of water, the weeks' worth of feed, two of the tents, the shovel, 2 more filled waterskins, the rope and saddlebags, and I think I'm finally set. Unless you can think of anything else I may have missed, I think this should cover it..."
He pulls out a pouch of 50gp from his pouch, and then adds 5 more gold pieces along with 9 silver pieces. As he hands them over, he then pulls out the small piece of amber, adding it to the payment.
"I trust the quality of this gem to cover the rest of the payment. There should be a few silver pieces extra to compensate for my lack of knowledge in items to get as well as the help in getting the cart rigged up and loaded. I'm sure your time is better served elsewhere, than to fetch items for wayward souls that seem out of place, but your time and efforts are most welcome."
Svexyn then begins moving to assist in getting the two wheeled cart in place. He speaks as he continues working, not one to easily make others do his own work, but also to get a feel for Tamas. His aged eyes seem to hold secrets that Svexyn would like to hear about. Any of those long lost secrets might be the next clue to finding his next step in this journey.
"You see, I figure this was as good a place as any, and maybe even a better place some would say, to seek out adventure, treasure and hopefully a little luck. It seems that there was a fight outside the inn just a little while ago. Guy named Drasus skewered a half-orc with such practiced ease, it was mesmerizing! I figure the body wasn't going to bury itself, and soon enough it would stink up the area as well and wasn't such a pretty sight laying at your inn's front doorway. So, I offered my services to bury the body, claiming scavenging rights if Drasus agreed."
Svexyn finishes placing the cart where it seemed best suited to be pulled out once Meynan was hitched up to it. He then moves to the push cart with his gear, as he begins to transfer the load as he continues his talking.
"So, Drasus agreed, but waived off my offer of payment. Said to meet up with him, buy him a drink, and we'll settle up then."
Svexyn plopped down the two tents into the cart with ease, as he was used to hard work growing up. Though his frame would hint at one not so strong, he easily hefted both tents without straining himself. He shifts the tents over to one side, as he looks to Tamas.
"Drasus seems a bit of a dangerous one, being as though he dispatched of that half-orc so easily. Hopefully settling up with me doesn't mean anything bad. I'm just looking for opportunities to make some coin if things presented themselves. I saw an opportunity, I took a chance."
Moving back to the cart, he gathers the rope and shovel, as he is done with that part of the loading and tosses a copper piece to the stablehand that assisted in gathering the items for Tamas. He places the whistle around his neck, as he then moves to put the last of the push cart items into the newly purchased cart. He seems satisfied with the placement of the items, as he asks, "If you point me to the feed and barrels, I'll get them loaded as well."
He continues talking, as the feed and barrels are located, filled, and then he works on placing them into the cart as he rattles on. "I heard this place was famous for the Quresh in the area. Heard you all were tough as nails and were the real power out here in a hard place this desert seems to be. I was fascinated, and came our here to see for myself. I figure the best way to found out about someone or something is to get off your ass and make the effort to get first hand knowledge. Sure, books can offer you the same information, but I want to be the one writing those things in the books, not reading them. Someone had to see it, or experience it before it could be put into words. So, hopefully I live long enough to honor those that earn it with some immortality and place in history."
Once the feed and barrels are loaded, he turns to Tamas. "You look like you've seen plenty around this area and have many stories to tell. Or, likely you can simply tell me to shut my mouth and keep my nose to my own business. Either way, I won't be offended. Yes, I'm young, adventurous, and maybe naive, but I'm not one to shy from hard work, usually learn quickly enough, and don't mind getting dirty."
He brushes himself off, moving to the stall to work on getting the harness, bit&bridle and leads onto Meynan. "Like this.. I know the basics of a harness and all, but to get it working with the cart, I'm hoping you can show me the right way to get this all done."
He stands to the side, allowing Tamas to step in and show him how this whole harness works with the cart.
