City of the Spider Queen

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Hearing of the horses and deciding he had no real business to do, Jyren nodded his thanks to the priest of Tyr, and started back to Morn's place. It interested Jyren to see places of faiths beyond his own, as he found that they each had their own quirks and certain kinds of people they seemed to attract. Smiling to himself as he thought about this, Jyren did his best to find Lord Morn again to ask about horses.

Day 1 - At Randal Morns - Hazrael

Lord Morn studies the young man a few moment before he answers. You know, you have become somewhat of a legend among my trackers and scouts. They talk about you with admiration and reverence in their voices, as if you were a Master of some sort. I suspect you might be just that. I know of some of your... unfortunate... background, and I would like you to experience that not all are as you might believe.

However, the reason I asked you is a different matter all together. Of all the four of you, you are probably the most experienced in matters like these; fighting enemies that wants you dead, surviving in harsh enviroments... I think you'll be able to lead them through the dangers you might encounter against these chaotic elves.

I understand your trepidations about going out with the others, especially the human ones, but I hope, and believe, that you will come to like them as your friends after a while. If you find this is something you rather not do, then you are free to return back, and never think about this again, but I beg you to give it a chance. If not for me, then for yourself.

Day 1 - At the Magic Shop - Merion

The old lady grins up at you, and walks behind her counter. From underneath it she takes out a bag with everything you asked for. I've go' i' all here. Knew you'd ask for i', you know. She taps her temple. Sigh' of the inner eye... This is the best material you'll find in all of the Dalelands. Thousand gold coins, that'll be. The grin appears again, and she laughs silently to herself.

You pay her, and leaves the shop with what you came for. The sun is still shining, and you enjoy the time untill the apointed meeting at the gates.

Day 1 - In Dagger Falls - Jyren

You leave the Temple and heads out in the sun. The sun is shining hot today, but you can feel the river not far from the city. You walk through the city, and soon find back to Lord Morns mansion. You enter his study again, and find that Hazrael is still here. They seem to be finnishing some business, and you ask about the horses. Yes, I knew there was something I forgot. I've got a prime stock of horses out back. Take wichever horse you need, and I am sure my stableboys will help you with the preparations.

They sure did, and less than two dozen minutes later, you are outside Lord Morns mansion, on horse and ready to go.

Rashak Varin thanks Tunfer the Stout and Randal Morn.

Going to the stables, he selects a heavy warhorse. Loaded down with weapons as he is, only a heavy warhorse can carry him without being loaded down.

Though he has no training in riding, his natural balance and instincts allow him to handle the horse with a fair degree of skill. He meets the others at the south gate, ready to go.

 

[DemonAtheist]

With an unspoken, yet palpable, admiration of Randal Morn, Hazrael bids his farewell to the Lord.

I think I understand. Again, I am honored that you would choose me from all of your trackers, whose opinions of me I hope have been inflated out of kindness. I will go with this party. Thank you for your time, and the generous payment

Hazrael walks away from the building.

It has been a long while since I have met a human that i feel I can trust. Since that cleric in the woods showed ... Enough of memories! In any case, perhaps these two humans chosen by Lord Morn deserve at least my companionship, if not my friendship and trust. I will give them my services, that at the least.

On the way to the south gate, Hazrael walks by a weapons shop. He checks in, and asks specifically for arrows effective against elves and their kind. At the word 'their kind,' the shopkeeper glares at Hazrael.

and maybe i was right to begin with...


OOC: if the shopkeeper has any +1 elfbane arrows, Hazrael will buy 1000 gp worth (if 50 are worth 8350 gold, 7 arrows should be worth 1002 gp). If he does not have any of this type of arrow, Hazrael will attempt to buy an oil of flame arrow (750gp)

EDIT: I'd also like to buy 40 regular arrows and another quiver


Although Hazrael also stops in at the stables he heard Morn mention to Jyren, he does not pick out a horse, but says a few kind mental words to them, making sure they are fed and watered, well cared for in general. He then passes by the temple of Tyr, remembering to donate to the temple of Mielikki in the future.

Hazrael heads for the south gate, where he can see the two humans talking to each other.

I hope this was the right decision

Day 1 - On the way to the gate - Hazrael

You leave the mansion after looking in on the horses, and leaves for the gate. On the way you stop by the weapons shop and pick up some arrows. Although the shopkeeper didn't really like some of what you were after, he had five of the requested special arrows in a locked closet underneath the counter.

He then heads for the south gate to meet up with the others. They are all there, all three of them. He nods in greeting, and now they are all set to go.


OOC: 5 elfbane arrows = 700gp.

Finally at the gate, Jyren does his best to not look any more awkward than he already does atop the horse. It wasn't the first time he'd ridden such a creature, but he'd never really gotten the hang of it. Looking down to the others, he managed a nervous half smile, "We um...are all ready, I assume?"

Day 1 - At the gates

OOC: So, what do you do?

 

[silentspace]

OOC: I think Merlion wanted to go to the raided villages, presumably to see if we can learn more about the raiders. If not, I guess we go to the 'X'
