[LPF] Don't Let It Go!

[perrinmiller]

~ Day 20, noon: Snowy foothills of Yarendel ~

Oaken took the money for the bottles and haggled a bit with Francis over the last of his cold weather gear. "Ya, business be brisk on the warm clothing to clean out inventory. But not so good for the swimwear, eh."

"And the snow makes travel difficult this time of year, but we can do okay. We folk are used to winters like this, even if it be still summer, ya. Good think sauna is nice in this weather, ya." He smiled big and wriggled fingers again at the family peering out through the window.

"But... okay, I can lower the price for you."

"Who knows, the Queen may come to her senses and let summer come back, ya."

Francis was sure the trading post owner was speaking plainly and not being evasive.

Charity, Human Female
Taking a last look through the shop, Charity nods as Francis gets the deal he was arguing for. "Well alright then, people. Let's hit the road." Turning to the shopkeeper, she adds, "Sir, it was a pleasure, good fortunes to you." With that, the guard maneuvers her lucerne hammer to the door and awaits the conclusion of her compatriots business.

[section]Francis John, IV - Self-Proclaimed Crown Prince of All Halflings


"Well I'll be honored!" exclaims the halfling at the point of sale. "My deepest pleasure doing business with you Mr. Oaken!" Francis puts the cloak on, and rest of his purchase on his pig's pack. "I suppose we will be off now. I shall speak highly of your name and this fine establishment on all of my future travels!" Francis makes way for the door. "Oh, er, um, final thought.... You wouldn't perchance be able to guide us to the castle eh? I'd like to give that queen a piece of my mind!"

Francis and Bacon are ready to go once all are ready too.

Yosephus put the two bottles he purchased in his back pack and then smiled at the shopkeeper. "Thank you, Mr. Oaken for the wine and your kindness to let us rest here."

The cleric started heading towards the door after Charity. But, he stopped and turned to face Oaken after the halfling asked him a question about the queen.

With his hands steepled on the counter, Oaken smiled. “Tis my pleasure to do business, ya. You be sure to come back when you get cold and enjoy the sauna.”

At the final question from the Halfling before the group exits from the warm interior, the shopkeeper gestured behind him with a thumb over his shoulder, “The Queen made some ice castle up higher in the mountains. It sparkles in the sunlight when you see it… might not be able to see it to well today though, ya.”

“Just keep on going along the road here, then head straight up towards the peaks of the mountains. Though, telling is that she is not welcoming guests.”

Francis profusely thanks the shopkeeper, and proceeds to follow his directions towards the castle. He asks his friends to walk in a single file line. He takes the rear as the halfling rides the pig backwards, enabling him to more easily use prestidigitation to clean up the tracks behind them.

As the others move to the door, Aishe follows. She nods politely to the shopkeeper as she passes, and says, "Our thanks for your hospitality... the chance to warm up a little was most welcome. Hopefully we'll be passing this way again soon and will be able to take advantage of your shop once more!"

Charity, Human Female
Making sure to be the last out of the shop, Charity bows to the shopkeeper before leaving and heading back into the spring-time winter wonderland. After a short while, she speaks, "He seemed less afraid than the townsfolk, which isn't entirely surprising. It makes sense, in a dark way. In any case, I am rather certain the people of this kingdom need relief from this winter gone amok, and hopefully we can bring it to them."

Yosephus headed out the door after the shopkeeper told the directions to the queen.

"Wow, we were lucky that Oaken told us the directions to the castle," he said,
relieved. "I hope the sun comes out more so the ice castle sparkles."

[sblock=OOC]Did Oaken have any rations available for purchase? If so, could we retcon him having purchased 6 days worth? If we can't retcon, can I have him go back in and I'll do an in character post?



Side note: Wow! Can't wait until the next encounter. Probably get level 5 with all of the time based XP.[/sblock]
