Conquest of Bloodsworn Vale [IC]

Aelish Karn (Human Male Herald) HP: 33

"From what I have heard it would be the 'Boar's Bones' and I will be happy to take you there, fair dwarf, after we meet with Captain Torgrith. ". Aelish says just loud enough for the advancing dwarf to hear.

He smiles exchanging the thought with Shandul that they both may know a little more about the place than they may let on. He tips his head towards the Keep as he looks to Shandul in suggestion that he follow us.

I think that we me may find each other of use to one another.

" Aelish says to Shandul as he makes his way towards the keep.

OOC: Aldur was moving from Shandul over to Aelish who I gathered was still talking to the guards.

Percivilis and Jerivan

"Ah, our long journey is at last at an end," He says to his junior, Jerivan,"May Iomedae's infinite wisdom be praised."

Percivilis looks briefly at the sky and touches his chest, mentally giving a quick prayer to his patroness, with Jerivan quickly doing the same. Percivilis pulls his mount up alongside Jerivan and whispers quietly to him -- "Keep your eyes peeled for any foul influences in this fort..."
To the others,"Well, we have been graced with a respite from the ardors of the road. Let us find proper lodgings for ourselves and our mounts, then perhaps pay a visit to the good Captain."

Percivilis beckons to one of the guards,"Good man -- where would we be able to find proper accomodations for our equine friends?"
Once the guard mentions where they can stable their mounts, Jerivan will take both of their warhorses and get them situated.

As Jerivan leaves with the two warhorses, Percivilis walks over to the dwarf,"Now, my friend, perhaps we can see into that drink -- I, too, would like to remove the trail dust from my mouth -- and not with well water.... Perhaps they have some dwarven ale?" He pats him on the shoulder and turns towards the Boar's Bones. "Shall we?"

He beckons to the reclusive elf,"Besik - you care to join us?"

As for the woodsman and Aelish,"Once you two have finished with your odd incantations, why don't you join us for a drink at the Inn before we head over to see the Captain?"

---------------------------------------------------------------------
OOC: Jerivan will keep his senses peeled (i.e. detect evil) for any people to keep an eye on in the fort.

Also, I'm trying to get a feel for whether Aelish and Percivilis would be more on the same page after the travels -- obviously they both have good people influencing and information gathering skills. It seems that Aelish is working for some group and wanting to keep it a secret from the rest of the party, is this intended? (No problem if it is, just want to understand)

Aelish's nose scrunches as Percivilis mentions his desire to go to the bar prior to seeing the Captain. His conscience relents for the moment because as he prefers getting business done first, as he says "Yes, that is a good idea. Lets head to the bar first to relax for a moment before we really get down to business." as he joins the rest of the group in their desire for some bar time.

[OOC:

Spoiler

Aelish is trying to keep his position hidden at least for now. He took this mission to help out the kingdom, yes, but primarily to flee from familial duties.

He would rather not have his being a Herald to be an issue over much with the group or others. He would rather have his position be a matter of serendipity or happenstance. "Oh, hey, your a Herald! Isn't that neat." - something that he can use when it is beneficial or to make things more expedient.

I think we would definitely be on the same page or so. He is a generally likable fellow who may be just a little uptight and always on the job or busy planning something. Rest is not something that he generally does, but does not mind small talk as that is something that is also useful since you can learn about a person, their goals, and where they have been, and possibly what is happening in the world which is very useful for his job.

Aldur smiles at Percivilus. "Sanity at last! Let's go."

Surely, my friend, there is something that is missing from this map or could be added from your extensive knowledge of the area. ... and how well do you know the local druid?

" Aelish smiles disarmingly.

[sblock=Sylvan]"The map is fine. There's no end to how much detail can be added to a picture on a parchment. Why not just ask? As to the local druid ... that'd be me."[/sblock]

Shandul makes no response to Aelish's second comment.

Besik looks at Percivilis with suspicion in his eyes, his brows a little furrowed. He shrugs his slight shoulders and looks askance, "I suppose I could drink, but definitely not dwarven swill." His gaze shifts toward Shandul, acknowledging him for the first time, "It wouldn't be too much to dream that this place has fine elven wine?"

[sblock=YeOlde]How do you want to handle Besik's ability to community telepathically?[/sblock]

 

[Boddynock]

Shandul nods. "Fine elven wine? Don't know about fine, but the Bones has a stock of wine. I prefer the Dogbolter, myself."

 

[ethandrew]

"Sounds...delightful," Besik sighs and frowns slightly.
