Dungeon of the Fire Opal, Part VI

[CRGreathouse]

The guards continue to eye the heavily armed travellers suspiciously and one steps forward.

"Gate fees for foreigners is one silver piece per person. No naked weapons are permitted in the city and bows and crossbows have to be unstrung at all times. Do not make trouble and you will find your stay in Teziir a pleasant one.

Do you have any other business in town ?"

(OOC -- to group) Will someone take Kytess' weapons?

 

[HeavyG]

Doesn't look like it...




One of the guards points at Kytess' chain as she's about to enter town.

"Sorry, miss. You'll have to stow that thing away while you're in town. Put it in a bag or something..."

 

[CRGreathouse]

Kytess frowns and puts her weapon in her pack.

"No, we are only staying for rest, as I said."
Murhid takes out a gold coin "For me and the chain wielder" he says as he hands the guard the coin.
"Do you men have any suggestions on a place to rest our heads? Any directions?"

 

[HeavyG]

The guard hands a bunch of silver pieces back to Murhid (8, in fact), saying "Here you go, sir. There are several inns right on the other side of this gate. All of Teziir's establishments are good places to rest, sir."

Meanwhile, a guard near the guardhouse says in a low voice "So she's your 'chain wielder', huh ? Hehe..." and he gets elbowed in the side by another guard to his right that says "Shuddup!"


(OOC: We'll assume the rest of the party pays the fee and go from there)

The party can indeed see a couple of inns through the gate. Judging by the signs, they seem to be called :

- The Leaping Salmon
- The Golden Coin
- Traveller's Rest
- Wolf's Tavern
and
- Madam Hippolyta's Room and Board

None of them looks particularly bad. Or good for that matter.

 

[Taz]

Taz pays the silver coin and hopes, that Kytess doesn't get mad about the silly guardsman, then continues into the city with the others with Sheela sitting on her shoulder.

“Let's find a place to rest first, does the Traveller's Rest sound good to you? It seems kinda appropriate. Altho, the scoundrels of this place probably check that one out for easy opportunities. Hmmm... maybe we should give Madam Hippolyta's Room and Board a try, it sounds like a friendly establishment.”

 

[drs]

"Lead the way Taz" Murhid will follow Taz.

 

[reapersaurus]

Meanwhile, a guard near the guardhouse says in a low voice "So she's your 'chain wielder', huh ? Hehe..." and he gets elbowed in the side by another guard to his right that says "Shuddup!"

Ubaar pays his way.

He walks by, saying to the guard "Ubaar not sure what you meant, but Ubaar heard that..." while looking dour and disappointed at him.

To the others - "How bout the Wolf Tavern"?

 

[Taz]

“Well, ok, why not, Wolf Tavern. They all look the same anyways.”

 

[reapersaurus]

"Say, guys - why don't we find out why Archibaldy is called "The Savior of Tezzir"?

It fun to see all these different places and all, but Ubaar want to drop off pretties to Archibaldy and get paid for all the hurtin' we've taken to recover the Opal.

About that - you sure it'll be safe with you, Taz?
These r' dangerous lands, filled with dangerous folk..."

*Ubaar sights a random passer-by and gives a penetrating look and intimidating face, for fun to point out the irony of his "dangerous folk" comment *
