J. Alexander's Four Lands Part 2, redux

Angelo Human Mage

"Believe it or not, I did try to settle down. A nice little farm in the country, but events seem to conspire to keep me away from home. My place needs a good deal of work as well. Perhaps that is why I keep finding stuff to take me away," he adds with a grin.

"Ah. An acquaintance and I have the beginnings of a small village going in the NorthEast - on the Northers edge of the Eastland mountains, where they border on the Old Forest. It's fairly isolated, and I believe will serve as a good place for . . . um . . . sabbaticals should they become necessary."
 

Angelo Human Mage

Angelo smiles his now familiar wry smile, "You know, if this thing goes sour and we manage to earn the ire of the King, powerful nobles or even the church if not all three, it might be nice to see this place of yours." He raises the bottle of ale, "I'll bring a couple of kegs of housewarmers." Looking to the silent church knight he adds, "What of you Lucien? Do you ever get an urge to leave the city for some clean mountain air? It could be very good for you health."
 

New Quarters

Brother Lucien answers in a non commitall way and it appears he is distracted or just perhpas lost in thought........

As the trio sit around making small talk and eating a lite repast shadows begin to lengthen in the room announcing the onset of dusk.
 

Angelo

"I'm eager to get out on the streets and see what's happening. What sort of disguise might throw Fraken and his people off the trail? Assuming they are even watching us."
 

Lucien Montrose

OOC: Sorry, guys, I've been housesitting for my parents, and they have cr@p for an INternet connection. That, and the cleaning crew at work broke the USB cord connecting the one comp there with Net access. I'm finally home and able to see things. /OOC

Lucien looks up after he seems to have digested Angelo's comment. "Actually, Angelo, the countryside is where I have dwelled most of my life, that which wasn't spent in a saddle on a campaign. I do admit, I miss the morning sun off the mountains of Northwarden. I agree though, I think this city life might not be extremely healthful. Just look at how it has fared for our friend Marcus here."

Suddenly, Lucien's speech is interrupted by a giant sneeze. "Oh, my, please excuse me. I guess the last travellers to use these rooms may have had a cat for a pet. I'm allergic to them. Sneeze my head off when they are around."
 

New Quarters

Dusk has finally set in and the room is now getting dark. The street sounds change to those of the workers going home and visiting their favorite watering holes...A few loud voices can be heard complaing from the tavern next door about it being full already and their being no room for the regulars....

As Lucien complains about the cat hair, a feline approaches him stealthy and begins to wind around his legs...

OOC: For the DM [sblock]Ah sir you are in tune with the perversity that is the feline soul. Only a person allergic to cats could draw one into the room where the wolf is. A quick question or three. What's the roof like? Can we reach it from inside the building or a balcony in the suite? What are the roofs of ajoining buildings like--how far away, how likely to hold us if jump, how high relative to balconies and roof here?[/sblock]

"From the sounds outside I'd guess we'll have to find another tavern to gather information this evening. Let me take a quick stroll to the balcony, I may have an idea."

For Angelo
[sblock]The roof has a step pitch, by looking at it you think you could easily get on top of it though by going to one of the dormer windo balconies and pulling youself up. In regards to the height you are on the 5th floor so you would assume your some 55 feet or so in the air with the roof beeing almost 60 feet.. The tavern next door could be easliy reached but would require a 25 foot drop down to it From you inspection you would guess that the roofs would be solid enought to hold a lot of weight[/sblock]

"As I see it we could just walk out boldly, and face an uncertain risk of falling victom to foes before the information we have is delivered. Or we could come up with a disguise using the kit and try to slip out. Or we could make our way out an upper window, slip over the peak of the roof and lower a rope to reach the tavern roof next door. From there we could drop to the street on the far side and slip away." He shurgs, "Unless somebody has a better suggetion."
