Clutches of Evil - IC: Chapter One

Keryth, Male Drakontos Cleric

While Karen is out of the room Keryth suggest to his companions in a whisper, “Well I think we should only spend the coins for the time being, as the gem may draw too much attention for people who were just robbed.”

Byntrou, Sorcerous Barbarian

Byntrou doesn't speak, as he's currently stuffed a rather large helping of porridge in his mouth, but he nods his head at Keryth's suggestion.
 

Destiny also nods in Keryth's direction at the suggestion. "Besides ... if we go after that goblin, the exploration of his realm would give us the perfect excuse as to why we'd have it ..."

Shortly after Destiny speaks, Karen returns with a clean scrap piece of material that looks as if the rest of it had been used to make a blouse of some kind. The material looks large enough to hold a bundle of the burrito-like sandwhiches. "This should do the trick, boys. If there's anything else you need, let me know."
 

Byntrou, Sorcerous Barbarian

Byntrou starts stacking the wraps the party has so far made in the middle of the fabric so they can gather it up easily to create a makeshift sack. "This will be perfect, Karan. Thank you."

When he's done, he leaves the fabric out so others can supply however much they think they'll need, and finishes off his porridge.

"Whenever everyone's ready, we need to make a fast stop to get our basics, then I thought we'd start our tasks with the guard station. Since the bowmaking guild and the temple are both in Great Bend, it seemed best to start close and work our way there."
 


Keryth, Male Drakontos Cleric

“That was my thought exactly Destiny,” Keryth replies, just as Karen returns.

“Yes that sounds sensible Byntrou, we don’t want to waste any time we don’t need to,” he remarks. His porridge finished, he begins turning what’s left of the pancakes, eggs, and bacon into wraps and placing them on the cloth with the others.

“Well I suppose you can carry the food Pwent...as long as you promise not to start eating it all,” Keryth quips, as he watches Pwent surreptitiously eyeing the food piled on the cloth.
 


Destiny adds, "I don't know about you guys ... but I'm in a hurry to go and exact some revenge on that goblin. Plus, I wouldn't mind having my cloak and my wristguards back. If we trust everyone with the money - and I do - someone could head to the guardhouse with Byntrou and the rest could go gather the general supplies. We could meet up in Great Bend somewhere. Keryth, didn't you say something about a morning appointment with with some high priest or something or other?"
 

Keryth, Male Drakontos Cleric

“Yes Destiny we have an appointment with the superiors of the small temple of Heironeous in Great Bend this morning, something about locating a temple of theirs they haven’t heard from in months,” Keryth replies, “I wouldn’t mind getting on our way after the goblin as quickly as possible either, especially considering he may have been warned. So shall we go with the groups we had yesterday when we split up in Great Bend?”
 

Byntrou

As Byntrou is folding up the makeshift sack to hand over to Pwent, he pipes in "Since we don't know if the goblin--or Dreeves--are already out to get us yet, I might prefer to have some of my herdmate's martial prowess if we're splitting up. No offense to you, Destiny, of course. Besides, if we're attempting to further intimidate the guildmaster, two Boes are bigger than one; especially when the one is only me," his eyes indicate not only Bahruul, but the impressive heights of both Keryth and Pwent.

"As Destiny already has charge of the funds, and Keryth is the temple contact, perhaps we can do this: Bahruul and I will head to the guard station, while Keryth, Pwent, and Destiny gather gear and head to Keryth's temple appointment. After we've finished with the bowmaker, Bahruul can guide us to the temple to meet you. Hopefully, that will half our time, and we can still make a decently early start on our main objective."
