Clutches of Evil - IC: Chapter One

[Nonlethal Force]

Keryth arrives in the room just as Destiny squeezes into the middle of the group and settles on the floor. Out of her own pack she pulls out a large pack for a small person, although it is a normal sized human moneypouch. Destiny shakes it, and the distinct sound of coinage can be heard. With a little glee, she opens the bag's leather ties and tips it over onto the ground. The contents fall about a foot to the ground and clank when the hit and bounce. A quick count of the contents reveals about 20 gold pieces scattered about the floor - and an emerald.

Destiny snatches up the green stone and her eyes widen. "Pretty ... eh, Byntrou? Worth waking for?"

She hands the gem to the smaller of the Boes, half-feeling guilty that it was her suggestion that lead to his awakening.

“Well it appears I arrived just in time for the unveiling,” Keryth says smiling as he moves into the group surrounding Destiny, “Hmm, looks like the gold will be enough to set us up with some basic travelling gear and food for a few days at least, while the gem I think is at least some compensation for our inconvenience.”

Byntrou's eyes widen as he looks at the gem.

"I should say so, Destiny," he mutters as he turns it in the light. "We can equip ourselves quite well with this bauble, yes?"

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Destiny's eyes widen at Keryth's talk of compensation. Her face begins to take on a shocked expression. As Byntrou speaks, her mouth falls open to reveal even more shock. "You'd dare sell such a pretty stone?" she says aloud.

She then winks at Byntrou to reveal she is completely kidding about being shocked. "I'd say the merchant Dreeve's bit off a little more than he could chew this evening."

"I'd say so," Byn says with his own smile, returning the gem to the pile of coins. Then he stands and stretches.

"Now, if we've no other business this evening, I'll retire again. I find my casting power is severly restricted if I don't get enough uninterrupted sleep." He gives Pwent a steady glare as he emphasizes 'uninterrupted.'

Bahruul Bous Barbarian

Impressed with the haul Bahruul agrees with his friend and sits against the wall, sword propped against his right leg "Just in case that goblin got wind off us and thinks to take us out at our most vulnerable again I'll stand gaurd this evening. In the morning then" he says

“Well I could use the sleep, so I think I’ll turn in as well,” Keryth says, removing his armour before he heads to his bed, “Wake me if you get tired of watching Bahruul.”

 

[Nonlethal Force]

The night passes quite smoothly, in fact. There are no intrusions and no significant interruptions. Bahruul occasionaly hears a few odd noises, but they are easily dismissed as the inn settling in the cooler nighttime air. Before too long, morning is upon the party and the smell of bacon grease is in the air.

Destiny rubs her eyes and yawns. Only then does she realize that she slept on the merchant's coin purse as a pillow. Looking half embarrassed, she smiles and adds, "I, uh, kept it safe all night long!"

Keryth, Male Drakontos Cleric

Waking at dawn Keryth begins his prayers quietly in draconic so as not to wake anyone else, beseeching Bahamut for the power to fight evil. After about an hour he rises and dons his armour and takes up his weapon ready for a new day, making sure the coin in still in place. As the others start to stir he smells breakfast cooking, and heads downstairs after shaking Bahruuls shoulder in case he’s dozed off after his long watch.

Bahruul rises from the floor with the grace of a cat and follows confidently behind his friends looking forward to another of Karan's breakfasts.
