B6: The Veiled Society - IC

[sblock="For DM, Barek, Caridoc, Celythia, Kynar"]For some reason, Caridoc does not trust Theosius and if it was up to him he would have rejected the offer. However as Celythia had already seated, he goes along by sitting down and sipping his ale. Caridoc keeps silent and lets the others do the talking.[/sblock]

Celythia takes a sip of the ale that Theosius had purchased her, grimacing at the taste. It certainly wasn't to her liking. "I must say that it seems as though this...dangerous work....should be worth more than the cost of a room?"[/sblock]

[sblock=everyone] Am i the odd man out and the reason for all the sblocking??? LOL going to solve that problem now ;) [/sblock]

After watching the strange men leave Rezak takes his newly aquired small pouch along (holding it like he would a dead snake) as he hurries into the inn. Quickly looking about for any member of his group he will try to get someone into a corner or other private area to talk.

"Cert-" the drunk man hiccups. "Certainly." Theosius reaches into his pocket and places three gold pieces in front of each of you. "This is for a sign of good faith. There's a lot more where that came from. Accept it, and when you're needed, I'll let you know. I may be drunk, this festival night, but don't let that fool you. Those in our employ will be well rewarded, if they prove trustworthy."[/sblock]

At this point, Rezak walks into the inn, and sees the others at the bar with the scarred stranger, who looks in disgust at the bum who just walked in. "This place used to be classier."
 

[sblock=For DM, Barek, Caridoc, Celythia, Kynar and Rezek if he approaches]
Celythia nods. "If as you say, this work is legal and abides the laws of the city of Specularum, then I am interested in your offer. I cannot, however, speak for my companions."[/sblock]
 

Rezak stays near the door but looks a little anxious, when he makes eye contact with Kynar he shakes his head towards the corner of the room then heads there not looking back.
 

Kynar takes a seat as well, listening to the exchange between the two, spotting Rezak in the back before turning to reply to the man.

"Hm... I'm interested... but tell me, would there be the potential benefit of unbinding my blade? Carrying them bound as they are produces little discouragement for one skilled with a knife... or other more dangerous implements..."

Deciding to ignore Rezak for now, Caridoc takes up the conversation with Theosius.

[sblock="DM,Barek, Caridoc, Celythia, Kynar"]"I know I am been rude, so feel free to tell me to get lost. I won't be offended. However, we are new in town and if we are to become players, however minor, we need to know the ground rules. So, who are you green cloaks and what actually happened at the procession this afternoon?"

By the way, that bum you just insulted is actually our scout/lookout. Convincing isn't he.
The latter was said with a big grin on his face.[/sblock]
 

[sblock="Barek, Caridoc, Celythia, Kynar"]Theosius replies "Ah, indeed. Green cloaks? Oh, of course.

"They are servants of Baron Vorloi, the shipping magnate, and his family. I don't serve the Vorloi, I just wore this to help me pick up any rumors of trouble they might know of.

The festival of Lucor is very important in the city. It's held to honor the famous priest of ancient times. It's a great honor to lead the procession. This year, that honor went to Lady Magda, who is part of the Torenescu family. That's who I serve - old money, reliable patrons." He drinks.

"I didn't see everything, but I gather that some ruffians tried to cause trouble with the bearers of Lady Magda's sedan chair. That would have been a great embarrasment to the family, if something had gone wrong. The Radu may have put them up to it - that's another family, upstart merchants really. The Vorloi" he takes a long drink of ale "don't want instability, so they stepped in to stop it."

(to Kynar) "The Torenescu have the Duke's ear, my eager swordsman. I expect that if you serve well, a weapon permit could be arranged."[/sblock]
 

Barek Fhald, half-orc bard

[sblock=Everyone but Rezak?]Barek lets the others run the conversation and negotiation for a while, intrigued by the spontaneous job offer. When it becomes clear most are inclined toward it, he add his charm to the mix.

"This sounds like quite the offer, all told," Barek says. "And I'm certainly inclined to try to stop trouble rather than seek it out in general. Might as well get paid to do it, eh?

Now, is this personal work, or is it sactioned by the city in any way?"
