Feint Whispers Chapter #3: Festival of Falling

"ANOTHER quest? I am tired of doing the sheriff's work. I'm sure he is taking all the credit for our work, but not OUR wounds," says Bhartus, angrily.

Jericho chruckles, "I don't really care who gets credit, I just want some gold, and a lass to call my own."

The guard looks curious, "Creatures? The sheriff would have us tell you that he another quest for you to undertake. You are to set out at dawn. At your command, we will help you escort these captive creatures back to town."

Whitney sighs. "I for one would have liked a little time off between quests." Mist grumbles from Whitney's shoulder, clearly wanting to have a little 'lazy' time as well. "Ah well the things we do for the people... and coin." she smirks as she gathers up herself and makes ready to head out

"Ooh I like cats," Norri says, noticing Mist, "They're so stealthy and smart, but they are arrogant. I guess they have good reason ta be though."

"ANOTHER quest? I am tired of doing the sheriff's work. I'm sure he is taking all the credit for our work, but not OUR wounds," says Bhartus, angrily.

The guard looks to the irrate dwarf, "Brother Bhartus, there was an earthquake in the western hills. The monks and priests of the Risen Star were hit especially hard. Many of their number were buried beneath the mountain caverns. Please, Brother, the Order is important to us locals! They even risk them lives to help them dwarven folk in the highlands."

To Jericho, "I can get the sheriff, but that might take hours. He is busy arranging a carvan with supplies for the Order and villagers hit by the shakes. He will know what to do with these creatures, I'm sure."

Jericho smirks and nods, looking concerned, "I for one am all for helping those Priests and Monks of the Risen Star, helped me out of a spill a ways back, and I owe it to them to return the favor. Needless to say, I am at the Sherrif's disposal. Besides, I got nothing else better to do, unless Whitney cares to have a good night, or three!"

Jericho waves to Bhartus, "Perhaps we should take these beings to the town, wrap them up in cloaks, and sneak them into the Sherrif's place. I trust that man, he should know what to do, I would rather finish this, and go and help those Priests, like I said, I owe them blokes of the Risen Star my life."

 

[Krug]

Bhartus stands up on mention of the earthquake. "Well why didn't you say so earlier?"

He sends a mindthought: We have more pressing concerns right now but we will find you a place. We will try to ensure that no humans come to disturb you.

With that Bhartus leaves with the group.

 

[jasamcarl]

ooc: just need to clarify. is the party escorting the creatures back to town or not?

 

[Mirth]

As the group is getting ready to depart, Tarowyn has a thought, "Bhartus, do those creatures know anything about the earthquake? They seem to have come from underground, could the two be connected somehow?"

 

[Tokiwong]

ooc: just need to clarify. is the party escorting the creatures back to town or not?

Jericho fully intends to bring the creatures back to town under cover of cloaks or something, and deliver them to the Sherrif, feeling he would know what to do.

Whitney pretends not to hear him as she works on her gear and makes ready to leave.
