Adventure: Escort Duty (DM: KarinsDad, Judge: TBD)

[drothgery]

"I would imagine I would be right beside you if trouble would arise, if my presumptions about the skills and favored tactics of the rest of this group are correct." She said, trying to sound reassuring. "I try to make it my business to learn everything I can about people I will be guarding and the places they will be traveling."

 

[Son of Meepo]

"I will ride ahead, where my speed could be best put to use."

OOC: Sirrah will be mounted on a large mount at the front of the group.

 

[Voda Vosa]

"Marshal Rickert will be closing the line, with Tana at his side, then I shall walk along our employer, and his dog should be pulling ahead next to Rava. The undead can gallop a few steps ahead." Marshal Hilkalas sort of order. He stands next to Jasper, and after glancing over the rest to assume their positions, "Onwards!"


Marching order suggested:
SS P J R
SS R T H

 

[FourMonos]

Jayce nods at Hilkalas's recommendation and falls in step behind Jasper and next to Tana.

He risks some small talk with the gnome warrior. "Did I hear right in the Shard? Your name is Tana? Spend much time in Sharn?"

 

[drothgery]

"Lately. I'm a bit worried about my friends back at the Library; they haven't contacted me in some time." She said.

 

[FourMonos]

Jayce smiles to himself as they start walking. He starts to roll himself a tobac weed smoke, then when completed, before putting it to his lips, offers it to Tana. You never know, he thought, gnomes surprise you.

"I wouldn't worry too much, no one goes messing with the Library if they know what's good for them."

 

[drothgery]

Tana declines politely. "And people like me are a good part of why that's the case." She said. "But it's been a long time since they had work for me. Another few months of this and I would have broken down and started working on a proper dissertation. There are a few professors back home who think me picking up a sword was a waste of talent."

 

[FourMonos]

Jayce uses a flame stick to light the tobac. He takes a long first draw as the group walks. He exhales the smoke into the brisk morning air.

"Those professor friends would be in the minority these days. Take our benefactor, Jasper, making a two day journey through a civilized nation and feels the need to bring five sell-swords with him. Perhaps the day for swordsmanship will pass, but we aren't there yet Miss Tana."

 

[Son of Meepo]

Jayce's comment catches the ear of the deathless elf.

"My presence is proof of that. I am of a tribe of warriors. The way of the sword is only second to the way of the horse in my homeland. I have returned from death because of the need for that sword."

 

[FourMonos]

The Marshal looks over the rider many paces ahead of him, "True, Valenar. But who caused that to be?"
