B6: The Veiled Society - IC

[kinem]

"Thank you. I'm glad I trusted my instinct and let you in."

Outside, the remains of makeshift barricades still smoulder, and there are bodies in the muddy street. But all is quiet now, and a few people go about their business.

ooc: Back to the Tea Rex inn?

 

[HolyMan]

Rezak heads back to the Tea Rex by the shortest possible route. He keeps ahead of the group and stays silent and hidin' as much as possible.

Barek shakes his head at the sight of the aftermath, but says nothing, following Rezak through the streets, trying to keep an eye out for any more trouble this day might bring and hoping there is none.

As you leave the area of the riot, the scenes of life in the city become more normal - such as it is.

Finally you get back to the Tea Rex. The innkeeper is behind the bar and there are a dozen customers scattered across various tables.

The innkeeper comes up to you and tells you "Good evening! Come, I have to tell you something." He takes you to a quiet corner. "A gentleman came looking for you and left a message. The four of you - he was clear on that, Rezak wasn't on his list - he said you'd taken a job last night. The four of you are to, ah, go someplace and get a package. The Senator Eipistlo's house, that's where you are to take it. Ah, from the Jade Sea, a boat down by the wharf. And there was a warning, too, my friends! He said that there were those who would try to take what you carried."

 

[HolyMan]

"So ye all's find'n honest works now eh?" Rezak asks with a smirk. "An a dangerous by da sounds o' it."

Turning to speak to the innkeep Rezak shrugs and says, "Da be nots doin' dis ta-nites. Tae city be'n in chaos, so'n 'ets be havin' sometin ta eats."

"If no one wanted it, I suppose there'd be no need to have a party guard it across the city," Barek says with an exhausted sigh. "Did our employer happen to mention if this delivery was to happen this evening, or might we actually get a chance to rest before we manage to step hip-deep into more trouble?"

 

[kinem]

The innkeeper replies "Yes, he said it had to be done this evening. He seemed to think it was important. By the way, if you want to eat now, we have a pretty good stew."

Barek smiles. "Then let's have it, I say. I have a feeling it's going to be a long night, and we'll need our strength."

 

[Rhun]

Celythia smiles when Barek smiles. "Of course it needs to be done tonight," she says, shaking her head. "Well, I guess a bowl of stew and glass of wine will set the night off on the right foot."

 

[ghostcat]

Even though the others are smiling, Caridoc can only scowl. "Why do I get the impression that this town has got it in for us.

Anyway, tonight it is. But supper first. Although, I'm not drinking. Milk if they have it, otherwise a small beer."
