IG's "Those Left Behind" Chapter 3

[industrygothica]

Sorry about the lack of update... been busy doing less important things.

So, the group down under are wanting to go topside, while those up above are looking to get a little lower... is that correct? I can't believe you're going to let an itty-bitty little thing like a chaos beast scare you back to the surface in search for a bow. What kind of self respecting, spindly-limbed cleric are you, anyway?!

I can't believe you're going to let an itty-bitty little thing like a chaos beast scare you back to the surface in search for a bow. What kind of self respecting, spindly-limbed cleric are you, anyway?!

OOC: That's the whole point! Uulark IS a self-respecting, spindly-limbed cleric! And he wants to keep it that way. (Have you ever tried to peer into the mirror and have any self-respect the day after you were hideously transformed into a chaos beast? I didn't think so! )

(btw, congrats to you, IG, on 3k!)

Talashia gives the halfling a coy look. "They're not JUST here to look after me, if that's what you mean. How much coin are we talking about here?"

Shazi stays up out of reach until his tinny laughter fades to chuckles.

"You know, I'm starting to see why Talashia is so full of herself if -that's- how effective you guys are without her. Look around for some rocks to throw or something!"

The halfling smiles. "Ah, just a silver or two. Each."
-------

OOC: If those down below want to come back up, there'll be nothing stopping you, save maybe getting Dyspeer back up through the manhole seeing that one of you is terribly short, and the other is terribly wimpy.

Shai leans over to the others as Talashia talks at a distance.

"Um, I think they're talking about us," he says nervously as the half-orc indicates them. "Does that mean we should go to them, or hide?"

 

[Shayuri]

"A silver or two, eh?" Talashia asks. "then please consider this..."

She produces a single gold coin from her robe and offers it tucked into the bowl of her palm, not showing it off, "...as our fee, and your tip. And of course, if all goes well and we return, we'd definitely be looking for you in the future as well."

The halfling nods to Grunk and takes her leave. Grunk moves around the corner and pauses, then motions for you to follow him.

"Relax, Tali has every thing under cont5rol. I am sure of it"
Caerwyn give Shai a playful punch on the arm.

Caerwyn give Shai a playful punch on the arm.

Shai laughs nervously, then notices Talashia's new companion gesturing to follow. "Guess that answers the question?" he says, and moves cautiously through the crowd to follow.

 

[Scott DeWar]

"yes, see? I told ya"

 

[Shayuri]

Talashia waves Shai and Caerwyn over. As Caerwyn comes over, Talashia says, "You can come, but you have to be nicer to me or I won't invite you next time."

Maybe to explain her earlier acting with him. Or maybe she really means it. Either way, she then follows Grunk with a smug, nose-in-the-air sort of self-satisfaction.
