IC - Mad King's Monkey II

[Axel]

"People be eating after travelling. I be going for dinner at Duck Inn, to hear their stories. We be back after breakfast tomorrow Herr Borne."

Bayar is pleased that at least one other in their group takes their job seriously enough to not simply hand the letters to others for delivery. And he really was hungry...

Assuming that everyone leaves Herr Bourn's and goes to dinner, Libros will start to summarise things as he sees them. "To summarise. The chancellor has tasked us with delivering the letters to Gate Pass. This is our duty and there is no honourable way we can avoid it. However, the Chancellor did not put a time limit on the delivery, so we could spare a few days to help Herr Bourn, especially as this fits in with what we believe is Chancellor's objective. Unfortunately there are strong reasons to think that there is trouble brewing in Russ and that we need to hurry if we are to avoid it.

Personally, I have strong feeling that if we go to Gate Pass it will take a lot longer that two days.

So any suggestions as to what we should do?"

Hummmm ....

Ullara Halx, female human druid with dog companion Bran

Ullara sighs and pinches the bridge of her nose. "Then if we will not give the letters over to couriers, I believe our duty is better served by determining if it is possible to do our duty at all. Which means taking short time to determine these Netherworld problems before we find ourselves in a pickle with no exit but a definite bandit attack or a murderous Netherworld. Can we be agreed on that, then?"

 

[ghostcat]

"Good thinking. Herr Bourn's route involves five trips across the Neverworld. If the Neverworld is unstable we could end up in big trouble. So it makes sense to check it out. I'm just not sure that we can spare a week to travel overland, so it will have to be through the Neverworld again. Only this time we have an idea what we are up against and can take precautions."

OOC: Before going back into the Neverworld, Libros will buy a staff and a wide brimmed hat.

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

Eban had tried to keep up with the communication, but not easily. When Libros summarizes, he understands the dilemma. Looking down at Arora, he wonders which route she would choose to follow. The current gate issues, or head to Gate Pass? (Checking to see if Arora has any strong feelings for one over the other)

As he ponders their predicament, he agrees with Libros. "Do what we can here, while we can. Gate Pass might be easily reached after we check out the portals. Bayar, we will deliver the letters, but we should finish this task first." He hopes the big guy will not argue much, but knows it's within his nature.

"We should get prepared. You all need armor, and weapons."

Bayar

Bayar squinted at Eban, trying to work out what was going on in his head. "We be done with the letter to Herr Borne. This be a new job, and one that be making the next one easier I be thinking. There be no problems, except I be hungry!" Patting his stomach, Bayar heads towards an inn where teamsters are known to stay.

 

[Scott DeWar]

duty and honor verses aiding humanity here. Jan is torn between the two. He ponders over this while listening and drinking ale.

"I still thing finding the extent of this . . . . . this, infection while delivering the letters is right. If we are in full gear and on horse back it might be a bit faster."

 

[Guest 11456]

Li Thuan, male human monk

"Please, before you leave, first of all I have to thank you for getting me home safely," Herr Bourn says. His voice is a little shaky and he looks pale. But he makes a visible effort to appear calm before his staff. "I also need to return to the tower." He holds up his hands to stay any immediate response. "Not right now, but soon, as soon as can be done so safely. With what I learnt from the materials you delivered, I think that I know what was done to the Netherworld around the tower, and how it can be undone."

"I ... I think that the effect a local one. But you're right, that is just my assumption based on what I suspect may be happening. I do not really know. We need to find out. Yes."

After so long of silence the peculiar man speaks up in broken common as usual. "Herr Bourn! Please to tell what you think know of what done to Netherworld? Also tell why think effect local? Perhaps knowledge help group decide."

 

[Axel]

Bayar stares at the little guy. "Thought he be having his tongue cut out..." he mutters.
