Olot is always near his warlock friend. He is constantly looking around, keeping track of the people nearby.

 

[Voda Vosa]

The sight of the warlock resting on the wall of some house, and the half orc standing next to him, screening the surroundings, was a usual sight since the pair get to town about 6 month ago. Frundor was reading the letter again.
"I told ya Olot, this sounds really strange, but I can't resist the curiosity that it wakes up in me. And I can smell the sweet scent of coin after it, if you know what I mean" the warlock winks. "So what ya said? We go look for that inn? Anyway, he finish our last job tomorrow and we spend most of the money we earned in food booze and womens, Ha"

 

[OnlytheStrong]

Olot has always sounded more human than orc, which confuses most people, given his orc-like features. I prefer to not feel my purse empty. Where the hell is this Guilded Cup? A man walks by and stares at Olot and Frundor, which Olot promptly returns as he straightens his body up, showing off his massive form. To accent his point, he begins to toy with the handle of his greataxe.

 

[Voda Vosa]

"YOU..." Frundor says to the man "You will tell us where the Guilded Cup is. And you will do it now" he orders.

OOC: An intimidate roll in case it is necessary = 15 (http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1328273)

Meredith steps out of the home of her friend Halharath, examining a slim piece of crystal that he had given her. She tucked it into her belt as a young gnome came running up to her to hand her a letter.

She stuck her head back into the apartment with some annoyance that the messenger didn't even ask to make sure she had the right person. She looked down at the note to see whether she should call out to Halharath's wife or daughter only to find that it was, in fact, addressed to her.

"Alright, I'm impressed. How did you know I was in Overlook when I live in Crystal Bridge? I suppose I owe you something for that, don't I?"

She gives the girl a gold coin before turning to the note, leaning against the door frame. Never heard of the Gilded Cup. Asking my company and couldn't even do me the favor of telling me the district at least?

She stuck her head back in the apartment a second time. "Halharath? Ganatari? Panitari? Any of you have any idea where I'd find a 'Guilded Cup'? No, no, not a guilded cup, a place with that name. No? Well, thank you for your hospitality again. And the gift."

She stepped down from the apartment and exited the tower it was located in, reading over the message for a clue. Nothing here... Oh! I know, I'll order a skycoach, and ask to go to the Guilded Cup. With any luck, the driver will know where it is.

She walks into the middle of a skybridge and hails a coach to put that plan into action.

OOC: Heh, warlocks do tend to like scaring people, still that's the fastest I saw anyone use intimidate in-game.
Those who wish to use InvisibleCastle are of course welcome to do so.

Frundor and Olot, you see a poor peasant wide-eyed with fear. "I-i-i... do not know what you're talking about! Please don't kill me!"
You notice that some people start approaching, what you quickly realize is a situation very easy to misunderstand.


Meredith, a skycoach quickly reacts and a heavily scarred half-elf leans out to talk to you. "So... where might a beautiful lass like y'self be headed?"

Finn, Human Swordsage

Finn stretched in his bed in the Golden Horn and gently woke his companion, a comely half-elf lass he'd picked up at the Starfire Dragon last night.

"It's time for me to go, dearling. Your company was exquisite, and I pray I will see you again soon. Feel free to make use of the inn's amenities while you're here - just tell them to put it on my tab."

So saying, he kisses her gently then gets dressed (courtier's outfit over his light chain shirt, short sword at his hip, daggers secreted in various spots around his body) and sets off downstairs, intending to get a bite of food before his scheduled daily adventure. Before he'd had a chance to order anything though, one of the inn's staff came up to him with a letter.

"Master Finn Kincadd? This letter arrived for you overnight."

Finn smiles brilliantly at the young man, "Indeed? Thank you lad.". He swaps a gold coin for the letter and sits down to read the message.

Dear friend,
Though you and I have never before met, I beseech you to help me. Whether you trust me or not I hope you will give me the chance to talk to you about this matter; this matter I assure you, is not a trivial one.
Hopefully, my letter has convinced you. Meet me in the Gilded Cup; I will know you when you arrive.
M

Finn puzzles over the letter for a minute, then shrugs and grins. "Well, it's always pleasant when work finds one before one even sets foot out his door! If I remember, the Gilded Cup isn't terribly far from here. I guess I'll head on over and see what this 'M' person wants of me. And, with any luck, they'll be serving breakfast over there as well!"

Finn folds the letter and slips it into a pocket, then heads out the door. He'll either walk (if the Gilded Cup is within, say, 15 minutes' travel by foot) or catch a skycoach.

 

[Voda Vosa]

"The inn, we need to know where is the Gilded Cup inn damn it. Go away you filthy scum, you have no use for us." then addressing Olot "We need someone with something else than air in their skulls"
Then he notices the other people approaching. "What are you looking at? Do I have my face painted? No, so, unless any of you know where the Gilded Cup inn is, get out of our way"

OOC: What can I say? he is pure honey.

 

[Scribbler]

"I have an important meeting to be at. I'm supposed to meet my associate in the Guilded Cup. Know where it is?"
