Curse of the Azure Bonds chapter 1: Tilverton

[Voadam]

Xi Selorn steps fully in front of the gnome and crouches down, his eyes pinning the poor fellow to the spot as his massive presence physically boxes the innkeeper in. "Greetings and well met Triblane. Before you get us food I would know from you what you saw when we came in that day and a half ago. Do you remember others with us at the time? Tell me how you remember it." The words are courteous but from the looks of the giant, he is determined to get answers.

 

[bluegodjanus]

Maesnir stands next to Xi Selorn, holding onto the brush. When he's had his questions answered, she has a couple of her own.

 

[Eva of Sirrion]

"Ze exact circumstances of your arrival were not all that atypical around these parts." Thungor begins his spiel. "A man in red robes comes in, he enquires about renting the loft for ze tenday, I rent him ze loft, he pays. Ze next night, ze red robe returns, a number of other red-robed men are with him, and they carrying your bodies. He asks me to put you up, I say fine. You sleep and sleep, I figure you have too much wine and leave it at that. You sleep some more, I wonder how much wine you must drink to sleep like zat, but you are paid through the whole of holy Ippensheir, so I give it no further consideration. You could sleep all through Ippensheir, I do not care, so long as ze snoring does not disturb ze other guests.

 

[Thanee]

Dawn

“They must have been quite a few to be able to carry us...” Dawn wonders.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"Red... robes? Priests, monks, scholars, or wizards?" Sidra wonders aloud, looking at the innkeeper.

 

[Thanee]

Dawn

“I would say wizards... red ones. And they might just want to make us think that. It's a little too obvious, no?”

 

[Eva of Sirrion]

Zey say zey were holy order on pilgrimage. Thnugor replies. They were not priests of Gond, I know that for certain. Gondarran priests do not wear red vestments; they prefer yellows or browns with the various mechanical contraptions they carry about. Perhaps ze priests of Gond would know of zem? There is a service right now, but perhaps after you could head over and ask?"

 

[bluegodjanus]

Maesnir il'Jazariel

"Did the person who rented our room leave his name?"

 

[Raylis]

Ferrik of Rasheman

"Red Wizards!" Ferrik roars, his hunger forgotten as he pushes his way to the gnome, "Where are these Red Wizards little man! I will bash their heads and boot my boot to their behind!" the big man clenches and unclenshes his fists, desire for the outdoors and the rumbling of his belly forgotton.

 

[Scotley]

Charum

"Let us not be hasty, red robes do not red wizards make. As Sidra said they could be any of several types of order. I rather doubt Wizards would be a holy order on pilgrimage." He gestures toward the table. "Let us consider this rationally over food and drink."
