Domhani Bairdéir 03

[Leif]

[sblock=Money Stuff]While a Críu is on circuit or assignment, they have access to discretionary funds to defray 'reasonable expenses.' Basically, the GM didn't want money to be a motivating factor in this game, so I'm trying to make it a non-issue. Everyone's been awesome about not taking advantage in regards to equipment - thank y'all for that![/sblock]

OOC: Would it be an abuse of our privileges if the Criu saw fit to honor our newest member(s) with a lavish dinner and a night of fine drink and fine music?

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

OOC:

Up to you - the Queen recognizes that the lives of her Bairdéir are fraught with danger and the life expectancy isn't long. In return for their service to Queen and country she generally doesn't keep too close an eye on their expenses. Sort of a don't ask don't tell thing . . .

Skath

"I can get out of town tonight. I think there's a Bairdéir waystation within a couple of hours walk south. I can shelter there tonight."

With that, Amhrán begins readying his gear for the journey.

"Does anyone have anything to send back, or messages for me to deliver?"

"I really feel uncomfortable sending only one person back. I would accompany but I am not much in a fight. Anyone have any ideas how to keep one person from making the journey alone?"

"I have no such ideas, friend Skath."

Sort of a don't ask don't tell thing . . .

Cairn hadn't planned to tell anybody!
"Let us visit the finest restaurant in town this evening! In honor of our new and improved criu!"

OOC: Dilis is an NPC, could we send her? Mowgli?

"I assure you that I am not a violent man by nature, and I only resort to bloodshed when it is absoultely necessary. Apparently I have quite a gift for bringing any fight in which I participate to an almost unbelievably swift and sure end. The fact that this end is due to the death of my opponent is a burden that weighs heavily upon my soul, but I find solace in the fact that all my actions are calculated to best serve our Queen."

"First statement alone would make me flinch. There is no absolutly necessary bloodshed. You are not violent, but you use any excuse to kill. And you justify it by saying you serve the Queen? You are obviously strong and that alone would be deterrent to most attackers, you could use something less lethal then those axes.

I encountered Bairdéir such as you before. But I never met one who is successful as Bairdéir. People need to have confidence in Bairdéir not fear them.

I didn't get the feeling Queen approves of killing for the sake of killing, especially when it is her own subjects being killed.

I apologize for this harsh statements, as a healer I feel I have to make my point crystal clear. In advance, not to get bogged down with potential disagreement in the middle of some other problem. I don't ask that you agree with me or change your ways, just to be aware I don't agree with such attitude."

Is there anyone of you who is wounded, tired or has some other reason not to go through with this mission and go to the Queen instead to report your findings along with ours?.

Cerallos

"I can go. Rhuarc is getting tired of lurking about outside the city, and would welcome the chance to stretch his legs. He'll be an added bit of protection on the journey as well. I, also, am more comfortable outside than in - I certainly won't mind seeing the last of this place."

He looks at Amhrán.

"When you're ready, sir! I look forward to getting to know you better."

[sblock=For Cyr]Cerallos will take an opportunity to catch Cyr aside before he leaves.

"Anything I need to know to supervise Amhrán effectively on the trip back?"[/sblock]

Cyr about Amhrán

[sblock=For GM]
No, not really. He is quite capable on his own. He is little bit dependant on me, we are childhood friends and we went through lot of trauma together, but he IS prince of Toir gan Toradh and fellow Bairdéir so treat him with proper respect. Be careful when in public places, he sometimes lets his temper take over too easily.

OOC: I don't have Amhrán's sheet so I know only what we discussed earlier. IF there are neurosis or phobias, I'll tell about them.

"I never said that I use any excuse to kill! Do not put words in my mouth. You say that you have encountered Bairdeir like me before -- that statement alone shows me that your mind is closed and already made up. I am willing to look beyond this serious error for a Bairdeir and give you due consideration for your youth and inexperience, figurative if not actually literal. Your point is very clear. I advise you to have a care to how you speak to those whose fate will be intimately tied to your own. Your words are sharper than any axe! Also, you would be well-advised to immediately work on developing your sense of humor! It will serve you very well with this criu!"

You didn't? You said that any fight with you ends up with quick and sure death of your opponent and that you have clear concience because you serve the queen. I apologize for harsh words again, truly I know you not. I may have judged to fast, based only on your one response.

But, please, try to understand how frustrated I get as a healer and peacefull man when people talk about killing. I will keep my mind open and re-evaluate my oppinion on-the-fly as we journey together.

Please, do same for me and don't write me off just yet.

"What I said about the death of my opponents in battle was intended to be a jest, but I know that you did not experience the events that I was referring to and so didn't understand that. You see, the first few times that I encountered danger with the criu and we were forced to enter combat, those combats ended in the way that I described. But, please take note that I did also say that this fact caused me much grief, too! If you judge anyone on only one response again, at least have the courtesy to understand their ENTIRE response, ok?"

"But I understand your frustration. The horror of the deaths that I have caused is truly a great onus for me. It is a burden that I try sometimes to lessen with the use of humor. I did not mean to trivialize the loss of these souls by that humor, and for that, I apologize."
