Constables of the 14th Ward Part 2

[Lou]

Raul leaves by the back door after Bo

OOC: I think Bocephus is smart enough to get change first. He surely won't want the sorts he will be consorting with to know that he has that much wealth on him.

OOC: If you say so. An upset, drunk goblin with gold to jingle sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.

Raul takes a quick drink of his ale and moves out into the alley to see if he can catch a glimpse of Bo as he hurries away.

If Raul can see which way Bo went, Raul will follow for a bit to see if there's a spot to catch up to him.

 

[Rhun]

Brae remains quiet as his fellow constables argue back and forth, enjoying his stout. When the meal arrives, he quickly stuffs his mouth full of food, so as not to have to get involved in the current dispute.

 

[jkason]

Moru Sen, human conjurer

Moru joins Brae in silent eating, sneaking some of the fish to Retbi and trying to fade into the background as his coworkers sort out their differences over strategy.

Retbi Sen and Bruno

[sblock=chitter, chitter for Moru]"Num, Num, boss! Scrumptious fish! Hey, could you sneak me a fin or two in the next bite? Gotta have more roughage so I can stay regular![/sblock]

[sblock=Jonas]Bruno sits down right beside Jonas and put hishead in Jonas's lap in an effort to cheer Jonas up.[/sblock]

 

[xedr]

... And if you ever, ever accuse me of destroying sources or other behavoir that you have not one tiny iota of knowledge of, I will haul you out and thrash you." and Jonas turns back to his drink.

[highlight]"My apologies, friend Jonas, I have overstepped my bounds. I did not mean to accuse you of any misconduct. It's just that I find dealing with Bocephus to be ... frustrating. I will not presume to deal with your sources again."[/highlight] says Darius contritely.

[highlight]"Alarion, I apologize to you as well for leading you from the altruistic path. I was attempting to serve the greater cause without regard for the immediate consequence. I am truly a jackass" [/highlight]

Exit Raul, Stage Right

[sblock=Raul's Quote]If Raul can see which way Bo went, Raul will follow for a bit to see if there's a spot to catch up to him.[/sblock]

[sblock=For Raul]Yes, Raul sees which way he leaves. He's headed generally west-southwest (or is that north-northeast? the map is spinning in my head), the direction of Goblintown, anyway, whatever the actual direction may be. Raul can easily catch up to Bocephus, I'll assume, unless you say otherwise, that you do so about a quarter mile from the 'Staff. Slipping over to the other side of the street, Raul gets ahead of Bocephus, surreptitiously slips back over to the side of the street that Bo is on, and then slips down an alley. When Bocephus walks by, Raul gets his attention and motions him into the alley.

Bocephus says, "Hello, again, Constable Mameir! I thought that I just left you behind in The Polished Staff! What brings you all the way out here?"[/sblock]

[sblock=For the DMs]Raul will squat down to Bo's level and says, "I just wanted to make sure you were sober enough to not jingle those coins too much. Can't let our secret weapon get mugged or killed over a couple of coins." Raul smiles at Bo. "Here, have some coppers and a silver. No need to be getting change while the liquor is still flowing. And remember, we need information. We've got our hands full right now. So get back to us as soon as you can!"

OOC: Raul will deduct 4 CP and 1 SP from his cash.

[sblock=Raul]"Awww, thanks Constable! Bo winks at you, hinting that he's not nearly as drunk as you thought he was, but he still snatches the cash from your hand as fast as a cobra strike. "Don't you worry about a thing. I'm sure it'll take me a couple of days to get some good info for ya, anyway. You don't want me rushing back with nothing for you to work with."[/sblock]

 

[Helfdan]

Alarion of Tovarre

Alarion sips his wine thoughtfully before answering, trying to keep his own temper in check. "You need not apologize to me, Darius, as you have done me neither harm nor insult. As for you, Jonas, your concern for Bocephus does you credit. But I insist, I was neither cruel not threatening. A knight of Tovarre is neither of those. And my words are spoken plainly, never "Veiled," as you claim. I openly told him that, an he did not deal fairly with me, I would not be his customer again. Hardly a threat of bodily harm... or of any other sort, as I am not his only customer... bah!" He returns to his wine moodily.

Raul returns

Raul returns through the back door to reclaim his mug of ale. Sitting back down with a stupid grin on his face, Raul remarks, "So once again Bo the con artist strikes the constables. I propose a toast to our small snitch. May he enjoy his coin and return to us with valuable information this time!" Raul starts laughing. "I expect him back with news by Saturday. If he remembers, in-between wooing his 'ladies.'.""

OOC: I've assumed that this is the Wednesday evening meeting. If later, then I'll adjust for 3 days from that date.
