"May I offer my help too, Miss?" offered Danmor "My duties can wait, and I would do all that I can with pleasure to ease your worries. I am Danmor, servant of the Guardian. We'll be back with your father pretty soon." tried to reassure her before making his way after Jack.

"Is this warehouse by the docks?" he asked the guard "What' s happened, in your opinion? She seems rather shaken."


OOC: I don't think I'm supposed to carry armor, weapons and shield to go to the smithy. If the temple is on the way, I'll go and catch my stuff, otherwise I think I'll grab a stick or something.

Arthael looks a little confused, then responds to Danmor...

Err, I don't exactly know where one would go to look for items of value... They don't tend to lie around randomly... And those ruins you mention...

Arthael laughs nervously...

I've heard that it is a rather dangerous place...


When the young woman comes Arthael sizes up the situation...

Let it not be said that only I sherk from helping this lady. Everything here seems in order. If there is nothing to worry about than there will be no harm done in my coming. You may, however, find my insights to be valuable if there is some kind of problem.

Arthael turns back to Danmor

Besides, I want to continue our conversation. What exactly have you heard about those ruins?

Arthael falls in behind the others...

((OOC: I assume I just have my spellbook, dagger, robe and spell components... oh plus my 26 gp ))

"Is this warehouse by the docks?" he asked the guard "What's happened, in your opinion? She seems rather shaken."

"It's not far from the docks," Jack answers as he makes his way up the crowded street. "Her father has an fondness for strong drink. If he's had too much, he apt to wander off. More than likely, we'll find him passed out in the sleeping room of some tavern down portside... But you never know in that part of town, he may have run afoul of some foreign sailors, injured himself in a drunken stupor, or made a poor wager in a card game."

 

[tleilaxu]

Arthael turns to Jack and says (quietly so the young woman doesn't hear)

Sounds quite honorable... are all the guards of such outstanding character?

 

[Jack Haggerty]

Jack stops and looks at the apprentice. "Master Chandler is not a guardsman, he's a merchant who owns the warehouse in question," he says in a normal tone of voice, having left the young woman at the smithy two hundred yards back. "And no... Most of the guards are much less... honorable." He resumed his march toward the docks, with the living blasphemy that was Slort presenting himself as a shining example of the honorable guard in the back of his mind.

 

[Ashrem Bayle]

Having been tailing the other characters, Shade chimed in from behind. " Oh yes! The guards are very honorable.", he said sarcasticly.

"I have to say, I'm impressed with you... Jack is it? I am surprised you would take time for such a menial quest."

 

[Lichtenhart]

Dan shrugged answering to Arthael "Nothing sure. It is said that an old and mysterious temple of Nekrem lies somewhere in the forests to the South. The stories of the few that claim to have found it, and managed to come back were quite... frightening, though."

And, feeling compelled to enter the dispute, he remarked softly: "There are people who stay awake at night to make us sleep safe. Jack, here, is one of them, and I think they deserve a little more respect than that."

 

[turtle]

Arthael looks toward Danmor...

A man deserves respect for what he does, not who he is. Being a guard or a lord does not mean one is honorable and being a servant does not mean one is of questionable character. I have come into contact with many a noble and man of arms who exemplified none of the finer virtues...

Arthael turns to Jack...

Forgive my mistake. I wasn't listening as well as I should have. I was absorbed in my own thoughts. I assumed you were being called to rescue one of your fellow guardsmen...




((OOC: doh!))

 

[tleilaxu]

During the trip Arthael occupies himself with daydreams...


Here: Arthael advises the king


Here: Arthael returns home a man of power... He shows all those who doubted him that he is just as good as his brothers and sisters...


Here: Arthael is given the key to the city


Here: Arthael slays the dragon and saves the girl


Arthael is so wrapped up in his own thoughts that the outside world seems to fade into the background...

 

[tleilaxu]

All the while Arthael had been at the smith's, his Raven familiar had been flying around here and there. Raven flew up into the eaves of the smith's shop and ate worms. When the group set off Raven flew on ahead, taking in the scenary of the town...
