TUW: The Outpost

Defender of Oerth
Maka watches as Taylar approaches the man, and begins talking to him; after Taylar has been speaking for about 30 seconds, Maka stands up, and walks over to their table.
Maka nods to Taylar, and then to the man, “I see that you have met my friend. I too, am willing to help you. Mind if I join you?”

Taylar drains off the last of his mug and nods at Maka. He goes over to the stranger's table and says to him with a big grin,,
"Yes. Please."
Maka nods to Taylar, and then to the man,
"I am Vittero. Tell us your trouble."
The man conveys his tale as best he can. He is not stupid. He is obviously having difficulty explaining in the Thisidan language.
"My brother and wife and child dead. Two days. I show you tomorrow. I want to know why and who. My brother's wife like to travel, to see. She like hot. They walk and look. Animals not do this."

Vittero who rose with Taylar and seated himself at the man's table drums his thumbs on the table top then adds,
"I am Vittero. Tell us your trouble."

Taylar nods solemnly. "You have my sympathy for your loss. Answering a debt of blood is no small thing. Now on to the matter of payment. Two days walk to investigate the loss of your family is not so far for me. I will not charge you for that, but whatever we find a long the way belongs to us." He motions to the group. "If you can agree to that, then we will go with you."
Taylar looks at the others to see what else they want to add.
"But you still have not told us your name," Taylar adds.

Taylar nods solemnly.

"Name. Yes. Name. I am Liam. You help me? Yes?"
Vittero smiles his best smile. He speaks forcibly slower, using fewer words, and gesturing grandly.
"Yes I think we will. My big friend here is asking, 'How much?'."
The man nods again.
"Oh, yes. I not have much. I give 50 now. 50 for answer."
Taylar nods solemnly.

Adisakti is amused by the whole conversation. He barely manages to keep from grinning foolishly. He is quite excited by the prospect of an adventure. The money is an added bonus. Once the Vittero accepts Adi butts in, with an excited gleam in his eyes... his words fall from his mouth quickly, he nearly trips over his words... When do we leave? I have to finish my chores, collect food, get some camping supplies... will we be camping?...I'm sure ma and da will let me go but i'll have to ask...I wonder if the blacksmith has those caps on my staff yet? Adi catches himself, and stops talking, and composes himself...he attempts to look official, and slows his speech... We are saddened by your situation....We will of course, take your case my good man, our man Vittero will negotiate our fee... He looks at Vittero and winks, then sits back in his chair with a self satisfied look on his face.

Vittero tilts his head back and roars laughing. He lift his mug to Adi, as in a toast.
"That was great! This is even more fun than chasing a greased piglet at the Greening Festival when we were younger."
Vittero calms and holds up his hands in a halting gesture.
"We accept. We will help you. Tomorrow morning, we leave. Meet here, daylight."

The man shakes himself and takes a steadying breath.
"I leave this horse for you to use. I return to Outpost in the morning. I can wait 10 days. After that, I have no more coin. When you return to Outpost, I give you other 50 ocrin."

Having never seen dead bodies before, Adi is both shocked and curious...He starts to put is quarter staff out to poke the dead mans foot, but catches himself mid movement and puts the staff in the dirt and leans on it as if trying to get a better look without getting closer. He hopes no one saw him.
Adi approaches the man and uses simple words and gestures to get across his question. Do you know if they were robbed? And the child's body is gone... did you see it when you were here last?
