[HandofMystra]

Geoffrey watches as several of the folks from the bar head towards the chapel. They certainly make a strange group of revolutionaries. " Not a real Californian among us, " he smirks, before heading to the front of the crowd to speak to the man in the suit.

" As it happens, sir, unlike my comrades to be I do in fact have my own sturdy horse and am an old hand at riding, " he says, after catching the man's eye. " If there is one respect I could perhaps use some assistance, however, it is securing supplies for such a journey. Providence has, unfortunately, left me temporarily short of funds. "

"There is no need to worry, you will be adequately supplied for your journey. Even if the Californians were not so generous, I could not, under good concious, allow a fellow former citizen of the Her Royal Majesty's domain to suffer as they work for the betterment of society."

Prof Hagen von Hacht

...

The man smiled upon hearing the Professor's accent. "(Spanish) What a most fortuitousness turn of events. You must be that German who applied for weapon patent up in Monterrey not to long ago?"

...

(Spanish) "Indeed I am. Always nice to hear that my fame outpaced me. Is my 'Levin Bolt' patent already through?
And I promise that this is just the first of many applications of my research!"
Von Hacht proclaims proudly.

(Spanish) "Indeed I am. Always nice to hear that my fame outpaced me. Is my 'Levin Bolt' patent already through?
And I promise that this is just the first of many applications of my research!"

The Englishman smiled. "Considering that their is no longer need to confer with Mexico about your patent's originality, I am certain it will now be granted once word spreads to Monterrey about our nation's independence."



La Placita Church, interior
Eventually, after answering all the individuals questions posed to him, the man in the darksuit entered into the chapel followed by the church's priest. "For those who are wondering, I am Don Juan Forster, a liaison to el Presidente Pio Pico." Don Juan approached the soldiers and momentarily glanced down at their work.

"Most of you will be riding to San Pedro and then sailing either towards the northern pueblos or towards San Diego. Others will be riding to the local rancheros, missions, or will be engaged in other tasks." Don Juan made a quick glance at the professor and scarlet. "As I mentioned before, to several of you, you will be given provisions, granted access a horse, should you require one, and will receive reimbursement for travel expenses accrued. You will be paid $2 prior to your trip and will receive $3 upon your return. After you are given your assignments feel free to report to the garrison to pick up your provisions."

Don Juan began to distribute maps, a billfold, and gave out instructions the various people within the chapel before turning to any of your group. "It looks as if I've gotten myself into quandary. He turned to Scarlet. "Under no certain circumstances would I, under any pretense, allow a woman like yourself travel alone while undertaking an important task like I have in mind for you. Nor would I allow you to risk your virtue by traveling with some of the men we have gathered."

He turned towards the professor, "Like wise, professor, you are too important to risk sending out without an escort." Don Juan smirked. "But luckily, fate had provided me with a few options."

"Madame, I will need you to travel to Sepulvida's Landing at San Pedro bay, and give this package to my associate, James McKinley. Professor, you are to join her because I am certain that my associate would be interesting in a trial demonstration of your creation."

Don Juan then glanced at Manual and Geoffrey. "You two are to escort the Lady and the Professor to Sepulvida Landing. On the route, you are to visit the adobes of the Sepulvedas, and hand them these messages. There are two indio villages in the area, one near by the adobe of Juan Capistrano Sepulveda, the other within the hills on the south western edge of the peninsula. I want you to give the indios word of our joyous revolt and assure to them that we will honor any treaties they may have made with the Sepulvida and Dominguez families." He paused for a second in consideration, "I should warn you, the indios who live in the hills are traditionalists, so if you are not wise to the old ways, then I suggest you find an indio who is and have them pass the message, because they are known to be violent."

"Once you meet my associate, he may inquire if he could hire your group for another task. If he does, then there is no need to hasten yourselves back to the pueblo until after his task is complete."

OOC: I am assuming that Ti'at is not with the group, and is waiting for the priest to become finish his duties as translator.

Prof Hagen von Hacht

(Spanish) "Very well. I will in need for a second horse, as some of my gear is so heavy, I need an assistant. But don't worry, I will pay him myself."

Manual responds to Don Juan "I know the Old Ways, and can bring your message to them"

 

[Thanee]

Scarlet

(English) “A true gentleman,” Scarlet says to Don Juan, showing a most ladylike smile as she curtsies.

“I will carry your package safely to your associate and see about what else he might have in mind for us.”

 

[Kaodi]

Geoffrey is not terribly thrilled by the news that he will accompanied by the Professor, but he puts on a brave face. At least a scholarly man ought to have some appreciation for history. " I am honoured to be entrusted with the safety of the young Lady and aged Professor, Don Juan, " he says, offering his hand to Forster to shake on it, and then to Scarlett, Manuel and von Hacht in turn, smiling politely. " Geoffrey Gold, humbly at your service. "

 

[Relique du Madde]

(Spanish) "Very well. I will in need for a second horse, as some of my gear is so heavy, I need an assistant. But don't worry, I will pay him myself."

"Alright, I will provide you with both, or would your prefer to be given wagon or a cart? We can spare one if need be."

"I know the Old Ways, and can bring your message to them"

"Very well, then. However, If you do find an native from the local community who you think can aid you in delivering a convincing message, be sure to report back to me so they can be provided for."




After shaking hands with the group and finishing his business, Don Juan makes a final bow and excuses himself from the church. "If I am needed, you fill find me at overseeing the construction near Pio's dramshop."
