C&C: A Lion in the Ropes

Fatcoin

"Nay, I think it is unwise to stay here too. The odds are the wof-beast escaped. That means it will be coming back...and with greater numbers."

Turning to goateed man,
"You are welcome to join us on the road, but as my dwarf-friend Norgim just said the nearest town is to the East. If you travel alone in the dark, likely the creatures will be upon you before you know they are there. But it is yer own choice."

Fatcoin gravitates away from the fire to get a good look up at the sky registering the cloud cover. He is trying to remember whether the moon was waxing or waning last night. And he is doing his best to look for any possible change in the weather.

Johan shakes his head as his troupe gathers up gear, hitches horses, and ties down equipment. "No gentlemen, your offer is most appreciated. However we have come north and must head west..to Verbobonc City and a ferry and then north to Furyondy. We have many performances scheduled and cannot be late."

Telion appears at Johan's side. "If you are headed east," he begins, "Arles is still but six miles from here." The elf looks skyward. "It shall be dark in perhaps 3 or 4 hours..I suppose with a steady march you could arrive near midnight."

Telion pauses as if unsure then continues, "I fear to ask, for you have done so much already, but if you do happen toward Arles, would you keep an eye out for Pugh, our strongman? He is easy to spot- a grey beard and a physique like a small mountain. All I ask is for you tell him to come to Furyondy.. he knows where to come."

Johan nods grimly. "Aye,if he has calmed his temper."

Norgim

"Aye me friends, of course.. of course.." Norgim says as he peers off to the east as if trying to find the dwarf already. "And if ye don't mind me askin', why's brother Pugh's temper lost in the first place?" he adds, turning to regard the troupe. "Could help us find'em I'm thinkin'..."

"i'll not speak for any but myself but, after the excitement, i'm ready to rest for a while. If, however, the rest of the group wishes to press on, I will follow. I am not so foolish to stay by myself."

OOC Missed this. The skies both day and night have been cloudy, almost completely so. However the moon is in a waxing gibbous phase.

OOC: werelions here we come!

"With the curves and hills it will likely be a rough six miles. If no one is hurt, I would prefer to continue our journey as soon as possible. The creatures are as likely to trail us as these folk here." Bufo gestures towards the gypsies.

Telion smiles at the dwarf. "If you knew Pugh you would understand. Sober, he is short tempered, prone to argue, and fond of it as well. But usually he is of a good natured sort."

"Indeed, but when he drinks, which is too often, "Johan interjects, "his good naturedness disappears, and his mood turns ugly."

The bald man shakes his head ruefully. "Pugh always quarelled with me over his pay. He was a fine atraction but his drinking barely made him tolerable. Still, I would wish him no ill will. He would be welcomed back if he thought to return."

Yondo

"If we're going to press on, let's get to it," Yondo grumbles. "I'd not like to be out walking all night."

 

[mps42]

"As said before, I would prefer to rest but, if we choose not to, I agree with Yondo. Lets get a move on."

 

[Andrew D. Gable]

"I agree, also," says Colm, kneeling to clean his morningstar on the grass before returning it to his belt. "If we were attacked by goblins and worgs in the daylight, one can only imagine what may stand in our way after nightfall. Yes, let's go."
