[IC] Stealthy Missions: Prologue

[Xael]

The camp holds no secrets, as the only things are three orc corpses and a burning ogre corpse. The campfire still burns quite well, but most of the meat the orcs & ogre were eating is now quite dirty, having been dropped to the ground. The only "interesting" thing is the small, ragged, dirty, brownish sack near the tree trunk.

The orcs's only clearly visible equipment consists of two scale mails, splint mail, two greataxes, two handaxes and the clothes they're wearing. The ogre's huge greatclub also rests on the ground.

Sheathing his rapier, the tail-man goes to get his dagger from the orc's corpse and politely uses the orc's clothes to clean it. After that, he goes to check the boat, mumbling something under his breath.

*Bump*

 

[Dalamar]

James concentrates for a moment, healing the wound on his chest.
He then goes over to check out the sack left by their foes.

 

[Inez Hull]

"What 'ave we got there then Jimmie?"

 

[Xael]

James manages to heal all of his wounds. The sack contains only a bunch of coins, but the coins all seem to be made of platinium. They're numbered in dozens, and they've got a the emblem of the royal family Obarskyr in them (dragon).

The tail-man finishes his boat-checking trip. "I can't believe it, they managed not to break my boat. Well now, lets get this trip over with and get our butts to the other side of the river." He then unties the rope from the tree trunk.

OOC: Obaskyr is the family that rules the Cormyr, the regent Alusair Obarskyr having the throne at the moment.

 

[Dalamar]

"I found their pay for breaking my suit."
He ties the sack to his side.
"We'll divide 'em up when we're not in hostile territory."
He then heads out to help get the boat to the river and on the way.

 

[Inez Hull]

"Right you are taily, time to get to our destination and find out our mission. You know, the one yer payin' us for."

Orland climbs into the boat and keeps his eyes peeled on the riverbanks as they pull out.

 

[Xael]

After you leave the shore, the tail-man picks up the oars and starts slowly rowing towards the other shore. Seeminly not-so-used-to rowing, he you can hear him mumbling a few curses when the stream pushes the boat to the downstream. He glances at the bag James took from the camp, but instead starts to talk about something else: "So, now that the unavoidable chit-chat won't slow us down any more than this rived does, I think it's time for introductions. I'm called Taeghen."

 

[Dalamar]

"A pleasure to meet you, I'm James. But judging from the fact that we were called by you, you already knew that."

 

[Inez Hull]

"Taeghen eh? Well, Orland's the name I usually go by."

Orland watches Taeghen amusedly as he struggles with the oars. "You're city folk 'aint ya? How 'boat I take care of the rowing and you tell us a bit more about this mission we'll be doin' for ya."
