B6: The Veiled Society - IC

"Book the room, Caridoc." says Celythia, with a nod to her companion. "Then we can walk down to the Tea Rex and see what they have available."

Kynar was not particularly thrilled with dividing themselves up, but it appeared the alternatives was sleeping in the streets, which was not a particularly comfortable or safe thing to attempt.

He nodded to Celythia's comment. "Agreed. I hope Rezak won't be too disappointed if we find a room for him..." He joked with a grin as he moved to head back outside, checking his hidden dagger to ensure it was still easily reachable and secured properly.
 

Caridoc is a bit disgruntled that the others had left him to deal with the inkeeper, especially as he will end up paying. Trying not to let it show he says. "OK we'll take the room. Can I just pay for one person until we know who is sleeping there." Nodding in the direction of Celythia, Caridoc continues "After all we can't expect a lady to share a room with a group of men. He fishes out a gold piece, which he offers to the innkeeper. "This is to reserve the room and allow one person to sleep in it."
 

The bartender takes the gold and replies "As you wish. If more than one of you use it, you'll have to pay the difference later.

It would make more sense to charge a flat fee per room, but what do I know, I just work here" he mutters.

ooc: I assume you will all head over to the next inn. Will Rezak remain outside?

A block down the street is an inn with a large yellow crown painted above the wooden door. The crown extends out past the sides of the door, forming a T shape with it.

Inside, the inn looks similar to the other one but slightly higher class. It is lit by smokeless (everburning) torches in the ceiling. The crowd is similar but slightly better dressed.

Behind the bar, a blond man serves drinks.
 

Barek Fhald, half-orc bard

"I'll try this one," the bard says, and walks up to the barkeep. "We're hoping, friend, that you have a room or two still open?"
 

Rezak follows the others down to the second inn mentioned by the gate guards, keeping his distance and the others in sight. A small smile forms in the shadows of his hood as he noticers the marks in this area seem to be a little more well to do than the pervious area.

[sblock=ooc] Since Rezak looks and acts like a penniless bum it's best he stays outside till rooms are bought then it doesn't matter after it's already paid for. LOL [/sblock]
 

The blond man replies to Barek "You are in luck. We have one room still available. It's not that big but three people can sleep there. Three gold for the night."
 

ooc: From here on out, take care not to read any sblock meant for other PCs.

[sblock= Barek, Caridoc, Celythia, Kynar]
From nearby in the smoky common room comes a loud, tipsy voice.

A tall, scarred man points at you. He wears a green outfit that reminds you of the ones worn by the men who intervened in the dispute at the festival.

“Hey there! I see you need another room. Want some work? Here, sit and drink. Ale on me!" The bartender brings you each a mug of ale.

"I need strong bodies. Theosius is my name. You look brave, and honest. Do the four of you want to earn money? I have a room here but if you accept my offer you can have it. I have friends I can stay with.”[/sblock]

[sblock=Rezak]Rezak earns three coppers as folks pass by and a few of them take pity on him.

The street becomes noticably less crowded as most people have either gone inside or gone past the inn.

One man walks by. He lurches drunkenly along. He smiles and nods as he passes. Suddenly, three hooded men step around the corner and the drunken man turns around. None of the men carry weapons openly.

“So, new to town, eh?” asks the drunken man, who now appears quite sober. He takes a hard lok at you. “You look like you need some work. Now, we have some things that need to be done and you look fairly smart. I’m sure you would want to help us.

You staying here?” he asks, pointing to the inn. “Be a real good idea if you didn’t leave for a while. We’ll see you tomorrow night, one way or the other. Here, catch,” he says. He throws you a small bag.

With that, the men begin to walk away.[/sblock]
 

[sblock=For DM, Barek, Caridoc, Celythia, Kynar]
Celythia accepts the offer of a seat, her motions prim and proper as a lady should be. "Thank you, Master Theosius," she says. "Your offer is intriguing. What sort of work did you have in mind?"[/sblock]
 

[sblock=Barek, Caridoc, Celythia, Kynar]Theosius replies "I'm looking for trustworthy people to perform occasional duties. None of it involves doing anything illegal, but there may be danger involved. You look to me like people who can deal with that. I can't say too much right now, but it could be something like bodyguard duty. Scarin' off trouble, not making it."[/sblock]
