DT's Old School Campaign- (Chapter 4: The Guild and The Girl)

Edvan nods and gulps down the chunk of seared prime beef he was chewing. "Ya, Lola, a house would be right fine," he says waving a forkful of rare beef. "No more alleyways in winter. I also wouldn't mind some decent armor, maybe a bow like my Da had." He grins and looks over at Hilmdyn. "Maybe a box o' those glass globes in case Hill here gets a little saucy and needs ta be put back in line." He pauses and turns bright red. "A writing table..." He grabs up his mug of thick bitter brew and takes a deep drink to hide his embarrassment.

Hilmdyn tosses some peanut shells from the table at Edvan. "I'll give you globes," he mutters. Then, laughing, "A writing desk! Oh, do we need to buy a bigger house so you have room for your library?"

 

[GlassEye]

"Nothing wrong with learnins ta read and write," says Edvan still bright red. His eyes glitter with suppressed laughter as he continues, "But I wouldn' expect a uncultured barbarian likes you ta unnerstand."

Between snorts of laughter Edvan attacks his steak again. Soon, however, he grows serious. "Sills. Could be a problem. If he was workin' on his own then I thinks we're okay but if he wasn't... Lola, you gots a way with people, maybe you should check around, maybe see is Sills workin' for someone else. If he is we mights need ta spend a little to buy off the trouble."

"The scholar here has a point," Hilmdyn agrees. "Those thugs might turn up again, or whoever they were working for might."

"HA!" Lola let out a loud, infectious laugh. "That was funny!" She noted Edvan's embarrassment, "Oh, not about the writing desk but about the globes. That was funny." She poured herself another small shot of the clear elvish beverage, one of the fine delicacies she had been exposed to by a client. The client who was sitting next to her to be exact. "I believe I'm the only one at this table who can give you globes." She laughed again and shot back the smooth, sweet, strong flavored liquid.

"If we stick together, maybe one day we can have a large mansion full of libraries and training grounds and laboratories... well, maybe we'll put those out back in case of emergency. But I'd have rooms full of gowns and jewelry and a kitchen full of food and... and... " Then she quieted, she realized that it had been many many years since she had any thoughts of the future. She poured another drink and this time stared into it reflectively.

"I could take a gander around, yes. What's the deal with you and that guy anyway? Do you think he really just happened to be looking for you at that very spot down at the docks? That seems unlikely. But whether they just happened to be or not, I'm not inclined to give them any of our money.

How about we celebrate tonight and tomorrow we'll buy a place of our own and I'll look into who these guys work for?"

Edvan chokes on his brew and turns bright red yet again most likely embarrassed by Lola's comment. He quickly focuses on Lola's questions instead. "Dunno. Hill and me beat 'im out of a few jobs and when we worked together..." Edvan shrugs. "It went okay, he just didn' like that he couldn't boss us around. I'm not so much afraids of Sills but if he works for someone that coulds be a bit tetchy. And I ain't too keen on handin' my money over, either, but..." He grins and lifts his drink. "But, times enough for business tomorrow. Tonight we celebrate! Rove, you got a bunch of plans on what you gonna spend yer cut on?" He drinks and lightly pokes Hilmdyn in the ribs. "You brings yer dice?"

He drinks and lightly pokes Hilmdyn in the ribs. "You brings yer dice?"

"Always," Hilmdyn replies. "And you finally enough money for me to win more than the price of a bowl of soup."

"But, times enough for business tomorrow. Tonight we celebrate! Rove, you got a bunch of plans on what you gonna spend yer cut on?"

Rovan had been quite for some time. But smiled at Edvan "Yes Edvan, I do have plans. I always have plans my friends." says Rovan

"Now I agree with the lovely Lola here, I think a secure place for us to stay is important. We have things now, things that will be hard to hold onto as you sleep in an alley. Now as for Sills. Yes, if he was working for someone else, we may have a problem. But I doubt that. A matter of minutes pased between our being hired in the bar and us getting on that ship. Now either way I doubt we will have a problem with Sills and his crew. AFter the last time they called us out at least. Hell they may not have woken up in that alley, at least not with any coin in their pockets." said Rovan with a wink.

"So that will give them pause before they come after us again, not to mention you two in armor and with proper weapons and all" he says pointing to Ed and Hil.

"Even if they were working for someone, it will take some prodding to get them moving against us again." says Rovan slowly sipping his wine.

Edvan giggles when Rovan comments about Sills waking up with empty pockets. Maybe the numerous drinks he's had are affecting him a little. He leans over towards Hilmdyn. "Sorcerers is always bad business and secret plans. Right, Rove? Secret plans and bad soup. You thinks yer winnin' tonight, then you better thinks again, friend." No maybe about it: Edvan's drinks are catching up to him.
