Clutches of Evil - IC: Chapter One

[SBLOCK]“Well with you to come back to I’ll make my best effort, not that I’m usually careless of my own safety, but you do add extra incentive to take even more care Dahlia,” Keryth says smiling.

“Home already, and I was so enjoying the walk and your company,” he replies grinning as Dahlia pulls out the gold coin, “Well that I will take as I can always use all the luck I can get.” Taking the coin he places it in the back of his left gauntlet. “With its aid my defenses should not falter and I can return all the more swiftly, thank you,” Keryth declares, kissing her cheek softly. “You never know you may be coming into some money soon, so you may not need those tips after all,” he says with a wink, leaving how he might know of such a windfall unsaid.

OOC: I was just going to ask whether she’d taken the gold back. [/SBLOCK]

Keryth:

[Sblock]Dahlia lingers for a moment, enjoying the kiss and the mystery of the windfall. "Ah, my wealthy old suitor has finally arrived!" She adds with a chuckle and a wink. "Seriously, Keryth. Do take care of yourself. I overheard people talking about what the merchant Dreeves said. It sounds quite dangerous indeed - especially that scorpion part. At least you have Bahamut taking care of you."

She forces a smile upon her lips as she knows she must leave. Her eyes have a sense of longing for more time with Keryth, but her mind tells her that tomorrow is coming quickly and Keryth more than anyone will need his rest - and time for meditation. "Good night, my brave hero."[/Sblock]

[SBLOCK]“Goodnight Dahlia, may Bahamut watch over you as he has always watched over me,” Keryth replies, clearly lingering for a while longer then necessary after he utters his own goodnight and benediction, before letting her hand slide slowly from his own as he turns to begin the trek to his lodgings.[/SBLOCK]

Bahruul holds a large finger to his lips as he and Destiny quietly move up the stairs towards Byn's room.

Byntrou

OOC:[sblock]Since magic_g's laid up, I'm going to assume Pwent told Byntrou why he shook him in such a rush. He's a pretty straightforward guy, so I think that's a safe assumption. Let the chaos begin. [/sblock]

"You woke me up for what?" Byntrou bellows, the sound echoing down the hallway. Delcoi curls, agitated, on her master's bedpost.

 

[Nonlethal Force]

OOC:
[Sblock]Works for me. I was going to give him a day to respond ... but it has been a day and it isn't like this point is a significant point in the story. So we'll move on.[/Sblock]

Byntrou, Pwent:

As Pwent tries to explain about looking at the money retrieved from the merchant Dreeves, Bahruul appears in the doorway.

Bahruul:

Bahruul and Destiny hear Byntrou's last statement of disbelief through the door. Opening the door reveals Pwent leaning over Byntrou still slowly shaking him.

Keryth:

Keryth arrives at the inn to see Karen sitting in the kitchen praying. Lifting her head, she smiles as she sees Keryth. "Your friends are upstairs. I was just thanking Pelor that you all were kept safe and no harm came to you on account of our negligence last evening."

Keryth, Male Drakontos Cleric

“Well I don’t think there’s much anyone could have done last night Karen, but thank you for your concern and prayers. Upstairs you say, I suppose I should join them then as we have an early start tomorrow, goodnight Karen,” Keryth replies heading for the stairs and their room.

 

[magic_gathering2001]

OOC:[sblock]apparently I missed something. When was I laid up?[/sblock]

Pwent points to Bahruul and guiltily states, "It was his idea!"

 

[D20Dazza]

You don't strike me as a teller of tall tales oh stunted one" Bahruul says with a smile "And besides I have travelled with Bryn for sometime and know how he can get when rudely woken so I know not to suggest such a thing"winking at his herdmate he continues "But seeing as though you have woken the sleeping giant let us see what we have in the bag eh?"

Byntrou

OOC:[sblock]What Nonlethal said in the other thread. I only meant you'd said you might have trouble posting from the concussion. Sorry for the confusion[/sblock]

Byntrou growls at the human who woke him, but his herdmate's always been one with an infectious humor. Byn relaxes his shoulders, reaching out to let Delcoi climb up his arm to get a vantage point on his horn.

"As you say. Since I'm up anyway, let's see what we have to work with."
