Rezak notices that the man the group was talking to is gone and hurries over to the bar.

"Ye nay be a believin' wats 'ust happens ta mees." He says throwing the small pouch up onto the bar.

Barek quirks up an eyebrow. "Do I want to know how you got that?" he asks, then shakes his head. "No matter, we've had our own encounter..." he then proceeds to recount events in Rezak's absence.

While Barek and Rezak talk, Celythia takes the key to the room, and goes to check out the state of the accommodations.

ooc: To be honest, I'd prefer if you just tell what happened in your own words, rather than having people read the sblocks. Because it's not obvious, IC, that you trust each other completely or remember everything exactly. Reading what actually happened kind of ruins that.

In the module, the scarcity of rooms was supposed to divide the party, leading to two different encounters.

 

[HolyMan]

((OOC: Sorry, been out of contact for a few days))

"The long and short of it is that we've gotten another room thanks to the man who just left. Also, a few gold. Oh, and a job," Barek says, smile growing as he relates each bit of good news.

"We've just signed on with The Torenescu for some private work ... heading off trouble. I'm afraid we didn't get anything much more specific, though we did try. He claims he might be able to get our weapons unbound, though he also seemed a bit drunk, so it's unclear exactly what he can or can't do. It may turn out he just wants us to do his housecleaning in the morning." the half-orc adds a wink with the last bit.

"Ah jobs be good. Did in ye members ta ask bouts the pay?" Rezak replies to Barek. "Buts more important ye say ye has a rooms here too. That may come ins handy, cuze wats happens to me."

The thief then orders a drink and after a gulp he points to the small pouch. "Givin' me bys some wierd man with a bunch 'o henchmen in masks with 'em. He says 'Ye stays here good I mays have'n work for ye.' ana he gives me tat. Not sure wats be a in its." He says taking another drink looking at the pouch over the rim of the mug.

At Rezak's disclosure starts swear under his breaks. "Well it looks like we are working for two rival factions. Next thing we know, we will be ordered to kill ourselves."

 

[Theroc]

Kynar chuckled faintly at the response to Rezak's story. "I would suggest we ask around and try to find out who these people are that want our assistance, from someone not under their sway, so we may assess how we wish to proceed."

"Ah jobs be good. Did in ye members ta ask bouts the pay?"

"Well, there's the room, and we each received some coin as a sort of gesture of goodwill, but honestly, I don't think we did establish our rate," Barek admits mildly. "I think the assumption was we'd be paid for each job on its own scale."

At Rezak's disclosure starts swear under his breaks. "Well it looks like we are working for two rival factions. Next thing we know, we will be ordered to kill ourselves."

Barek laughs, a rich sound itself. "Now wouldn't that be a tale to tell?"
