Feint Whispers Chapter #6: A Modest Proposal

[Tokiwong]

"My vote's to avoid the majority of conflict and go via the less travelled route, no complaints if I'm out-voted though," Norri says.

Jericho muses for a moment, "I say we take the route less traveled, elfy you know the wilderness, we stay away from the roads, make our way, and hopefully avoid any resistance, but we all know, trouble seems to follow us."

He sighs, "Norri, I agree with ye, but there is merit to being direct, our journey would most likely be shorter, and I am not the most stealthy, I like me armor, it protects me well. If I had to vote though I would vote for the wilderness, and a compromise, no disguises, we just do what we must do."

Sir Whiteclove speaks up, "If you don't follow the trail, I dare say your options open up. You can either approach Evenwood Lands from the north by heading east and through the foothills or from the south through fields and grasslands. I'll leave that to you lot; it seems fate has pushed you into a stream of events that would drown a humble backwater magistrate such as I..." The sheriff smiles, "...for which I am happy. I am off to see to the mundane aspects of the town's events. In the morning, I will provision you with a map, Tarowyn. Gods will be with you all." He strides out of the tavern, into the market square.

ooc: your choices are...duh duh DUH....to travel by foothills....or by fields (plains).

"The plains may be easier to traverse," Tarowyn says to the others after the sherriff has left, "but the hills offer us more cover. Something I think we might need..." the elf looks at Jericho and Bhartus.

Jericho nods, and thinks for a moment, "I say the foothills, if I had my vote."

"Goin' may be a wee bit difficult, but foothills sound good to me," Norri agrees.

 

[Krug]

"The hills it be then!" says Bhartus, glad that it's resolved.

"Somebody want to go tell Whitney what our plan is?" Tarowyn asks of the rest of the group. "I would, but I have a feeling she doesn't want to see me right now."

"I'll go," Norri volunteers, "Unless you want to bear her the news Jericho."

"I'll go," Norri volunteers, "Unless you want to bear her the news Jericho."

Jericho stands, grumbling, "Be still Norri, and drink your pint, I will handle this."

Jericho heads for her room, and walks up to the door, he knocks on it loudly before entering, "Whitney, it be best if ye know we will be taking a route through the foothills, and stay away from the main road, anhd hopefully arrive with little incident. I doubt that will happen, knowing our luck, but that is our plan, and course of action. Be ready to leave by the morning."

Jericho paused, "And I wish to express my deepest sympathy for the fate thrust upon you, Whitney. Although I know what you may be feeling, know that in the end, you must live your life, and not the life your parents wish you to lead. These choices are never easy, but I am sure you will make the right decision when the time comes."

Jericho waits in the doorway, for a moment.
