IVV1: The Forgotten Map [orsal judging]

[Scott DeWar]

at the mention of the crate size being possum's size, the action happens befor any thought ... Karl moves in front of Possum in a defensive position.

'what am i doing? ' he thinks to himself, ' i am no paladin...too late now...'

he otherwise stays put with his arms crossed looking about to make sure no one is moving toward the halfling.

Oskar is still following the leader.

A tall, well-muscled human woman with short-cropped red hair walks into the room with a bamboo cage. Dressed in worn studded leather and carrying a black dire flail, there is a grizzled, slightly feral sense about her. She looks over the party, sizes up Karl, and drops the cage right next to Possum. "This is yours," she says, a slight growl to her voice.

"Yes, thank you, Razengrul, I need you to do a favor for me... We have a deal, regarding the translation of... a map of sorts. According to our contract, a child from Halina's orphanage will act to watch the map. Just to make sure nothing happens to it. Can you please fetch us a child?"

"I know just the one..." she replies with a grin. She turns to head out.

As soon as the woman is completely out of sight and another minute later even, Karl's stomach grows in unease as he says sofly to possum, "I can trust her as far as I can comfortably spit a rat." then he glances over to lily, wincing at his own words, "Not that I would even try, ... uh..." he then shuts up, once again with his foot in his mouth.

Possum still stares down Scrate, not even flinching as the crate is dropped next to her. Before the lady known as Razengrul leaves, Possum says "Not just the child, of course. Bring one of the 'Temple Moms', as well. You'll forgive us for our caution, obviously."

She then turns to Karl, and gives him a slight smile. "My thanks. I trust you'll be able to carry this?"

 

[Melodramatic Crane]

Vindala listens to the conversation with a grim expression on her face "i don't like any of this, especially troubling the children or the "moms" " she says sternly " yet currently i see no other choice so lets finish our business"

 

[Gobletchica]

Dianna nods. " I agree with Vindala."

Possum still stares down Scrate, not even flinching as the crate is dropped next to her. ... edit ...
She then turns to Karl, and gives him a slight smile. "My thanks. I trust you'll be able to carry this?"

as his foot is still firmly wedged in his mouth he does what he can only do: he nods. He then picks up the cage and awaits the next move.

 

[InVinoVeritas]

Razengrul smirks with a sidelong glance at Possum as she makes her exit.

Scrate leans back in his seat. "Like her or not, she'll do as asked. No need to worry."

After a time, Razengrul returns with a livid Halina, carrying Rhiana, wearing a nightgown.

"Possum? Oskar? What is the meaning of this???" Halina sternly calls out.

Karl non-chalantly moves the cage behind him, useing both hands to hold it there.
