J. Alexander's Four Lands Part 2, redux

[Maidhc O Casain]

Tetsu

"My life has certainly become adventurous since I left the monastery! I'm not one to avoid a good fight, but I think we're likely to see enough fighting and more before this business is done. I say either the disguises or the rooftop."

 

[SirCaith]

Lucien Montrose

"Achoo. Pardon me. I am not the best with disquising myself, Angelo, I must admit. Ah-choo! Pardon, and I much doubt I could succeed in not being noticed as a military man. AHH-chooo! For myself, I much prefer the bold approach, going to the Cardinal directly as myself, and let the Light be merciful on those who would stop me. AHHH-CHOOO!!" Finally feeling the feline twining itself around his legs, Lucien reacts like a soldier would. "Ah-ha, here is the culprit, fiend and scourge of my nose. I guess it was more than just a traveler's cat. AHHHH-CHOOOOO!!! I hazard this is a kit that hangs around the kitchen, gathering scraps from servants. It must have found its way to this suite and made a nest. Ahh-AHHH-AHHHHHH-CHOOOOOO!! Let me just usher it back to its proper domicile lest I treat it with a boot to its rear for the devils it is plaguing me with!"

Angelo

"The cat was my late master's. He asked that I care for it. I'll try to encourage the cat to stay in my room. I know a simple bit of bardic magic that should help." He makes a quick gesture over Lucien and the cat saying a few strange words in sing-song voice. "Well, if you really prefer the bold approach, what say you Tetsu. Do we roll the dice and take our chances?"

OOC: [sblock]Clean cantrip. Not really bardic, but he'll try to cover and recast again in few minutes as needed.[/sblock]

New Quaters

A lucien bends to pick the offending object it, he manages to lift it up but only to find himself pincusioned by numerous claws and releases the beast to the floor. As Angelo claims ownership...the cat walks. tail in the air towards a window ledge where it disdainfully looks out the window ignoring the party.

Tetsu

"I'm game - I've not had a real challenge of my martial abilities in some time. Truly, we must continually test ourselves, and set the bar high, if we are to improve!"

 

[Scotley]

Angelo Human Mage

Angelo cracks his knuckles and shrugs, clearly such a direct approach goes against his nature. With a sigh of resignation he says, "So be it. How difficult do you think it will be to get in to see the archbishop first thing in the morning? I still would like to slip out and see what intel we can gather this evening. I also think a book of regional heraldry might make it easier to figure out who the players in this little game are."

 

[J. Alexander]

New Day

The party sits quielty in their new rooms thruout the evening...retiring to bed around 10pm. The streets below are still filled with the normal sounds of people going about their business. The tavern next door is stangely quite for the nite with no songs or lound jest and laugheter issuing from it....Footsteps can be heard on the landing outside througout the night but Brother Lucien opinions that is is most likely just a changing of the guard. The man lies in a fever induced sleep for the evening with the large dog laying quietly at his bedside. As both Angelo and Brother LUcien drop in to check on him...they receive a neutral gaze but one threating violent action should they be perceived as hurting the man.

Dawn breaks bright and chilly with the promise of a new day. A strong wind is blowing in from the river....the streets come alive with the noise of people going about their business.
Rising the party is startled to discover that it is Market Day thus more people are at homes resting from their labors and shopping for the upcoming week. (Think Saturday)

Actions gentlemen?

Angelo

Angelo completes his usual morning ritual before joining the others. "Damn, Market day. I wonder if the cardinal will be in his office? I guess there is nothing for it, but to try. Given the unstable situation perhaps he is at work. Shall we make for his office?"

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Tetsu

"I'm ready when you are!"

 

[Scotley]

Angelo

Angelo takes a moment to meticulessly copy the map and other documents leaving the originals in their pouch with their guest. He double checks his crossbow and other weapons then nods. "Let's be off."
