Sando rewrites the divination in Dwarvish. You now have a copy of the divination written in Dwarvish.

OOC: So, as you can see, the answer is no. I thought about reposting the divination in another color text, but that'd be wrong. :) More tonight!

" [...] The Church stands ready to offer you 2500 gold for the successful completion of this quest. Please take some time to speak among yourselves and consider this offer. [...] "[

"I DO NOT CARE FOR YOUR MONEY," Carrach growls in disgust. "I will search for the children because they deserve it, but not because you offer me gold."

At this point, Carrach gains control of his flaring temper and ends his sudden outburst with a shrug, the nearest thing to an apology he can manage. Leaning back against wall, he reconsiders his first impression: Possibly the priest did not mean to insult him; it might be that payment is required even for such an undertaking in Cauldron. Strange are the ways of the city!

He does his best to fully regain his calm and replies gruffly to Rothgar's inquiry:
"I will do my best to find the children, either with or without you; everything else is secondary. But you are right on one point, there is no time to loose. We should hasten to the orphanage!"

Sando stands next to Jenya trying to remember if he saw anything of use while he was searching the area for her. "Are there any among you who can track? Perhaps we should look into the orphanage part of the church and see what we can find." [...]


Unable to contain a grin, Carrach turns to the gnome:

"I should be able to do so. Where I come from, you don't live long if you haven't learned to follow nature's path."
 

Jenya starts at Carrach's growl, and then smiles good-naturedly as he rephrases his objections. "I assure you that I meant no offense, and I do agree with your sentiment, but please consider the offer of payment more in terms of compensation — upon the successful completion of the job, we will compensate you for your time and reimburse you for any expenses you may have incurred during your time working for us. When I say 2500 gold, I mean 2500 gold in total. The Church is not prepared to offer more, despite the value of your work for us — it is only fair, however that I offer this as well as any and all aid that I can give."

She pauses for a moment, and then calls a novice in, whispers in the novice's ear, and then resumes speaking, "The novice you just saw has been sent to procure you a token of our good faith. I can have a list of recent kidnapping victims for you in the morning and, if you should need anything, do feel free to ask." The novice returns bearing a small tray carrying six stoppered vials, each labeled with the symbol of St. Cuthbert. Placing this tray on the table before you, she nods politely and leaves. "I have one potion of cure moderate wounds here for each of you. Please accept this token and Cuthbert's blessings as you look for the perpetrators of the kidnappings. The orphanage is on Lantern Street, I'm sure that Sando or one of the Cauldronians in your group can guide you there." She exchanges pleasantries and parting formalities with all of you as she guides you to the door — apparently this audience is over for all intents and purposes.

The rain continues to fall on the town and the night has gotten darker. The crowded buildings of Cauldron loom over you and a slight wind chills your cloaks. Flickering torches and lanterns provide the little light there is, casting long, ominous shadows over the dirty streets of the town.

OOC: I would have pushed along to the orphanage, but I didn't quite have consensus on that, and even if I did, it'll take you a little bit of time to get there — I'm assuming that you're traveling there right now, but if that's an incorrect assumption, please let me know. In the meantime, feel free to continue your conversations and all that, if you like. I do enjoy reading them. :) See the OOC thread for other pertinent information. Next move on Sunday.
 

"I DO NOT CARE FOR YOUR MONEY," Carrach growls in disgust. "I will search for the children because they deserve it, but not because you offer me gold."

'Indeed Carrach - it is our duty to help the orphangae in their time of need. Those children must be terrified to have been abducted so.'

Liandra turns to Jenya as she presents the potions to the party.

'My sincerest thanks, mistress Jenya - such a valuable gift will assuredly be useful should hostilities occur in our search for the children.'
 


"It certainly couldn't hurt to have a look around." Qoll folded his towel up neatly and placed it on a table next to the basin before he walked out. "However, to cause a ruckus at the orphanage at this late hour will not do. We should resolve to meet at the orphanage after breakfast. If you don't know the way, I'll assume you are guests in Cauldron. I will be taking breakfast at the Drunken Morkoth, if you would like to join me. I can show you the way."
 

"Pray that your mercenary attitude won't bring harm to our quest, gnome," Carrach growls, instinctively baring his fangs.

He nods his thanks to the (acting) high priestess while slipping the potion into an empty space on his bandoleer.

After getting shooed out of the temple, Carrach - wanting to get to the orphanage as quickly as possible - turns to his compatriots to ask for directions, when the cleric brings up a rather good point.

"You are right, of course. It won't do any good to disturb the little ones at such a late hour. In fact, it might only cause further fright for them. They shouldn't be denied their chance of a peaceful night."

"A good inn, you say? Lead the way! There's no point in standing around here."
