Abracham

With a slight grin that is somewhat difficult to interpret, Abracham dismounts from his horse and begins leading the party down the road in the direction of Tearmann.

"I think suitable accomodations can be found for you to freshen up before your audience."

Athelstan

So now we come to it. 'Till now, my skin's been accepted as a matter of course by a group of fellow outcasts with secrets of their own. I can keep my face hidden well enough when it's just a matter of walking through town at dusk, but the thought of exposing my freakish skin to the Queen terrifies me. I wonder how she'll react . . .

 

[Scotley]

Gavril

Mounting up, Gavril seems in excellent spirits. He discusses at some length with Diddious which garments can best be cleaned up and readied for a royal audience. He sounds like a general planning the disposition of his troops for a crucial battle. Despite all the nattering on, his cocked crossbow remains at hand on the saddle bow, a bolt in easy reach. Diddious, for his part seems excited to focused once again on his master's wardrobe rather than the constant dangers of the past few days.

Skath

Skath will take his position riding a shoulder of Bear, if he will allow the little fae to do so.

Abracham

As the group makes it way toward Tearmann, Abracham proves an able guide and conversationalist. He keeps you entertained with small talk and a story or two about life in the messenger service, and gives a willing ear to any return conversation as well.

"Have any of you been to the palace - or the city - before? It is fairly large, and can be confusing if you aren't somewhat familiar with city life."

Béar

While listening to Abracham, Béar whispers to the Fae riding on his shoulder: "What do you think about our guide? He seems to be asking a few too many questions...trying to gain our confidence maybe?"

Gavril

OOC: [sblock]So has Gavril ever been to the city? We've established that he's traveled a good bit, but I don't expect he's been to the palace of course. If he hasn't been, but wants to bluff it to keep the guide honest has he at least heard some names he can drop? A well known shopping district? A resturant? Something like that?[/sblock]

Skath

OCC - Mike, am I getting any high levels of emotion from our guide?

Suspicions

OOC:

Nope - he seems very composed . . . though he is looking politely inquisitive as he waits for someone to volunteer an answer to his question.

For Gavril Only:

[sblock]Gavril's exploits have mostly been limited to Trocaire and Clun. He has Area Knowledge (Cities) but this is primarily knowledge of cities in general - how they work, finding inns/blacksmiths/etc. If you want to try to bluff him, I'll let you use your AK:Cities as a complimentary skill. Here's how that works: Roll a check for AK: Cities. Your skill is 12-, so for every 2 full points you roll under 12, you can add one to your target number for Acting (the closest thing to Bluff I could find). Unfortunately, your Acting skill is only 8-, so it's going to be a tough sell for you.[/sblock]

"Some of us have been to this city before while others will be experiencing it's wonders for the first time."

To Bear only, "I know what you mean, something is not quite right, but I can't really put my finger on it yet."
