IC: Dichotomy's Age of Worms Redux, Part I

[TiCaudata]

"That's the hope at least. If Alexis and Alendar ever get back from selling them...

Boldak's right, we should mingle in the crowd here and see what we can find out about Stirgenest, the other party, the blood stain, or anything else of note."

As he and Breth walk away from the table, Boldak comments, "You handled him quite well there."

The dwarf then continues on and makes his way amongst those regulars he knows, participating in the occasional dice game or knife throwing contest. He makes regular reports to the others on his progress while continuing the previous conversation, "I'd agree on Stirgenest. We should continue as we are, and check up on that group later. As for the others... they'd best be getting back soon. I wasn't joking about needing coin."

 

[TiCaudata]

"I can cover you in the meantime if you need some coin for a contest."

 

[michael_noah]

Boldak gives a light chuckle at the sorceror's suggestion. "I'm not that poor. I certainly have enough to match what this riff-raff can pull together. I'm talking about real coin, the kind we stand to be making..." Boldak states. Continuing in hushed tones, he leans in toward Breth, "From all the treasure we're finding in this place."

"Besides, if things get tougher as they have been, I'm going to need more than this nogood excuse for a sword."

 

[Dichotomy]

Alendar, having joined the group along with Alexis, whispers quite softly. "We got a lot." He sets a gold peice on the table. Then next to it he holds up first three fingers, another three fingers, and then nine fingers. "That many more of those. I think we should keep quite about that, especially in here.

As the group spends the next few hours in the Feral Dog, they manage to learn a little bit, despite the relatively early time of day. Tirra has been seen as recently as yesterday. Those that you speak to haven't seemed to notice anything different, suggesting that the seasoned adventurers have found exactly what everyone expected them to find: nothing. However, they have, apparently, not yet given up, as the she-elf is curretly absent.

Boldak walks away from a dice game that was becoming increasingly upset with his presence and rejoins the group.

"You'd think I was winning the way they chased me away. What person in this town can't handle a few jokes about their mother and Neff?" he wonders aloud as he sits next to Alendar. Eyeing the coin, he continues, "Wow... it's unfortunate that it's already spent."

 

[o3caudata]

"I'm afraid i don't see why we should bother this elf woman."

"Lets rest up, see about finding out what some of these things do and are, and get back to our task." Alexis looks around cautiously and returns to her ale.

 

[TiCaudata]

Breth looks around and lowers his voice. "All of it in fact... The wizard wants 10 more for identifying what we have so far."

 

[worthley]

"So, how long until we plan on venturing out again?"

 

[michael_noah]

"Well, after we pay the sage, we'll need to divy up the, umm..." Boldak says, pausing to whisper, "...treasure."

"I'd suggest that we keep what can be of use to us, even in the case of things such as armor, in the hopes that it will lead to a more equal share in the future. I now Alexis wants to be fair, after all," he says with a smile.

"Anything else could possibly be sold, though I don't know about in this place... We may end up losing too much. We can afford to take a few hours in the morning to find out, though. Our ability to adventure usually wears out before the day ends anyway."
