[Conan] Saga of the Ages 1: A Cat in the Dark

[Andrew D. Gable]

"I heard your desert raider friend speaking of Count Drusus," says the girl. "My name is Jamila, formerly of the Zuagir tribe. My sister and I were captured by slavers in the mountains south of Zamora. I am a slave in the household of the nobleman Tiberio, but he is a nice man and lets me work here at the tavern, too. My employer may be able to tell you more of this count you were hired to kill."

Thorkin nods and smiles towards the lass "Well now that be a bit of news there lass... now tell me, this Count, he is rich is he not? And you master... he might wish to...help? What might be in it for you my dear?"

Thorkin nods and smiles towards the lass "Well now that be a bit of news there lass... now tell me, this Count, he is rich is he not? And you master... he might wish to...help? What might be in it for you my dear?"

"I'm sure he has wealth, yes, but Tiberio would know better than I. In it for me? Oh, a bit of revenge of mine own, I suppose. For I believe it was Drusus who ran the slave ring that captured me. Anything other than that..." The girl flashes another small grin.

Thorkin and Jamila are interrupted by the gruff voice of the pocked and scarred innkeeper, and it is then that the Vanir notices that most of the tavern's patron's have gone, scared off by the bloodshed that occurred here, no doubt. "You can speak with your friends later, Jamila. Finish your work and you can go." The Zuagir girl nods and holds an upraised finger in Thorkin's direction as she turns and finishes scrubbing another table.

Thorkin looks that the innkeeper and frowns a bit, but then returns to the other two. "So lads, whats say you we retire to our rooms..." and then in a low voice "Mayhaps money is involved iffin' ye wish, could talk with the lass after her shift..."

Lifting his tankard of ale Balavous smiles wolfishly If that wench knows of a job then I'm all for it.

 

[Vigilance]

It sounds as though Tiberio is the man to talk to.

Perhaps the girl could make introductions?

Thorkin nods his head and says "Aye then, we wait for the lass to get off of work, and she should be able to helps us out"

Thorkin will then order another mead and causally watch the girl to see when she might be leaving...

 

[Andrew D. Gable]

After several minutes, the Zuagir girl walks back towards the party. "So, it's off to Tiberio, I imagine," she says, turning around and walking towards the door. She walks into the darkened street, beckoning for the party to follow her, and points to a house that sits up ahead, light shining dimly out its windows. "That is Tiberio's villa," she says.

 

[ferretguy]

Eyeing the lasses figure as he follows, Balsavous grins Well then Lass, lead on and we will but follow. I am sure you could provide the proper introductions to your master and....the 3 of us could surely provide you with safe passage back to your home yonder.

Thorkin nods "Aye there missy, wat say ye take us to yer master... I be interested to hear what he has to say"
