Curse of the Azure Bonds chapter 1: Tilverton

[Eva of Sirrion]

The kitchen staff is quick and efficient in its service. The fare is pretty common but more than satisfying (unless anyone has any peculiar tastes). Thungor continues conversing with you as he watches his staff. He seems very encouraging towards them and to be a decent boss to work for.

Of course zere are many businesses here that cater to adventurers and such. Things can get wooly here and arms and armor are essential I was an adventurer myself once. Ze best is Dundar's Fine Blades, just east of here. Dundar has had a bit of a falling-out with his now-ex wife recently, so he may not be in ze cheeriest of moods. As long as you can get past zat, he should be able to meet your equipment needs.

About 15 minutes after he says this, the gnome courier returns with a message. Thungor reads it. Filani has agreed to see you, you may visit her anytime you like.

People are now filing out of the temple of Gond but are not going far, but rather assembling in front of the temple steps. A crier steps out and bellows so loud you can even hear it inside.

Hear ye! Hear ye! It is my great pleasure and privelige to annouce that the Princess Nacacia and the priest Gharri have both been found alive and well! Further, they wish it to be known that, in 3 days' time here at the House of the Wonderbringer, that they shall be joined in the bonds of marriage!

A loud cheer erupts from the crowd, soon followed by chants of "Gharri! Gharri!"

 

[bluegodjanus]

Maesnir seems bothered as she eats her meal, often frowning and looking at the hairbrush. A.C. didn't seem to match the name of the person who checked them in at all, and she was trying to figure out what else it might mean.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"Thank you Thungor, you've been very kind to us," Sidra says with a smile, before going to sit with the others. She had barely eaten a few bites when the shouts from outside penetrated. She paused with a piece of bread halfway to her mouth, taking in what she heard. "Now that's very strange. A princess and a priest vanish, and then just were found without apparent harm, and now the princess is marrying the priest. That's very odd indeed," she says softly, then qualifies her comments. "Why in the Realms is a princess marrying someone not of noble blood? Strange upon strange... I think we'll have more than red robes and mysterious markings to discuss with Filani tonight."

[SBLOCK=OOC]No one said anything about them being captured by anyone. They just disappeared.[/SBLOCK]

Ferrik of Rasheman

Ferrik wolfs down serveral helpings of what is laid before him his agitation seemling forgotten as soon as food is laid in front of him.

He stops chewing for a moment when the crier makes his annoncements and furrows his brows "The Princess is found? How will we save her if she is not in danger? This is very strange."

He lifts a mug to take a drink finally noticing the tattoos, "When did I get these markings?"

 

[Eva of Sirrion]

[SBLOCK=OOC]Sidra can answer her own question by rolling a knowledge (nobility) check, or someone else can deduce the answer by rolling the same check.[/SBLOCK]

An even louder cheer erupts from the congregation, and more "Gharri! Gharri!" chants begin as a tall lanky human appears on the stairs to the temple. He raises his arms and the crowd settles, allowing him to speak. It is true. At long last and many many years of ups and downs, the princess and I are finally going to take the next step in our relationship, and willl be uniting in blessed union in the eyes of Gond. Messengers have already been dispatched throughout the realm with the news, and it is my sincere wish that each of you gathered here today will join us in three days to bear witness.

The crowd explodes in a cheer as Gharri heads back inside. You each feel a slight tingling sensation on your tattooed arms as he speaks, but it subsides as he concludes.

 

[Voadam]

With the tingling, Xi stops eating and glances at his floating tattoos, then up at Ghari with a frown.

"We'll be attending that wedding." he says.

 

[Falkus]

"That was odd," Dominic muttered, rubbing his arm after he finished his meal. "Did anybody else feel that?"

He turned to face Xi. "I agree. But we should also get a hold of some equipment first, just in case anything happens."

 

[Thanee]

Dawn

Dawn is happy with a modest meal and a mug of water, quite the contrary of Kooga who greatly enjoys the food and gobbles down enough to feed four men at the very least, being occasionally reminded by Dawn to watch his manners while they stay in this civilized place, and after a quick ashamed look, concentrates on the food once again.

“Oh, a wedding. How gorgeous. We definitely must attend there!”

Subconsciously, Dawn rubs her right arm while Gharri speaks outside.

“Three days still, more than enough time to get whatever we need for now.”

Ferrik of Rasheman

Ferrik looks at each of the party members in turn, his brows still furrowd, "I am confused' he begins scratching at the tattoos,

"Is this not a thing of good? A time for jhuild? or is this chanting man a Red Wizard who needs his head bashed?"
