for Béar [sblock]
Hmm. I can understand your mission and how strongly you feel about your queen. It would be wonderful to discover that all you say about her is true. But I'll have to find that out for myself, I suppose.

You'll forgive the sarcasm that creeps into my voice, it's my primary language.

Scratching his head and blinking back the oncoming weariness after yet another adrenaline rush for the evening, Athelstan puts out his hand.

Athelstan. Nice to meet you formally. So tell me, you mentioned your queen being just. Were I to be up front with her and take on her mission, would she protect me from those predjudiced to me for the unfortunate accident of having green skin?

for Bill [sblock] Hey, I didn't want to come across too strongly with my ire in my previous thread, but I kinda think Athelstan is the kind of person to let his feelings be known about his distrust of others due to his past treatment from skin color even in the face of such a large and obviously able-to-crush-him person. I don't see him really getting to just talking calmly about any of this to a stranger (especially after everything that's gone on tonight) without blowing up a little bit first. Now I'm thinking he'll be more receptive to actually talk TO your character than AT your character. Make sense?[/sblock]

For Béar:

[sblock]Béar must make an EGO roll at +5 to avoid letting his temper get the best of him. His EGO roll is 12-, so under many circumstances he'll only explode (unless you want him to) if he rolls an 18 (12-, +5, is a 17-). Of course, in many cases this roll will be subject to other modifiers, as well.[/sblock]

For All: I'll be out of town and without internet until sometime tomorrow. Carry on!

OCC - Mike, relate the price of 1 noble per month in todays terms.

After everyone clears out I will go to Gealach and begin chatting. I will disclose nature of discussion after i know the pay.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

OOC: A Noble is a Gold Piece in D&D terms. One Noble per month is actually decent wage - middle to upper middle class wages in todays terms.

in the kitchen

for Athelstan:

[sblock] Béar will take Athelstan's hand and shake firmly.
"Good to meet you. My name is Béar. 'Sworn protector of the Queen'.
I have no doubt that my Queen would do all in her power to treat you, and have you treated, in no less than the manner that you deserve to be treated. I mean, look at my face. Kinda hard, isn't it? But she has no prejudice against me. I'm sure that your skin color will not concern her in the least. Only a coward or a treatrous soul will feel her wrath.

But enough of this seceret corner talk. Let us return to the common room."

[sblock] I was just trying a bit of role playing. I absolutely understand where your character was coming from. And my character would never have just let that go. However, I wanted our characters to NOT throw down. It's never good when two player characters do that.[/sblock] [/sblock]

 

[Mattress]

Athelstan follows his new aqquaintance out of the kitchen and into the common room, his left hand shooting out quickly and snatching what looks like a plum from a basket of fruit near one of the cupboards.

A little late night repast never hurt anybody...

Walking into the room, Athelstan stands around and sees what everyone else is up to.

to Bill [sblock] Bill, I completely understand what you're talking about. I kinda figured the both of us were going the same place with all that. [/sblock]

to Mr. Mike [sblock] Unless anything else is going on, Athelstan is going to go upstairs and sleep for those two or three hours that are left to him. [/sblock]

Downstairs at the Wick

OOC: Just to make sure everyone knows where he is -- Béar and Skáth are downstairs with Gealach, everyone else has gone up to bed.

 

[mleibrock]

Skáth

Skáth will just hang around looking inconspicuious until everyone but G. has left.

Athelstan dreams of fish

Athelstan hardly finishes undressing and climbs into bed before he's fallen asleep, dreaming of exotic fish and other sea creatures. In his dreaming mind, he thinks:

Is this an ocean? I've never seen an ocean before. I'd dearly love to see one before I die.

Soon the steady breathing of a sleeping body can be heard from his room.

ZZzzzzzz...
