J. Alexander's Four Lands Part 2, redux

[SirCaith]

Lucien Montrose

"Surely, Your Eminence, there's is much that can be judged as unusual to such as we, who are not native to this area. The purity of our own hearts will have to be our guides in such matters as you describe. Pray tell, which areas would you have us scout? Personally, there is the master of a man names Frakin with whom I would have some discussion. It seems that more than one soul I have encountered here in the South is owed shriving by this man."

 

[J. Alexander]

The Commission

"Just the sourthern bank of the Targus river in and around the Village/City of Canton"....then pausing he says "Yes it is my understanding that he has quite a bill that must come due some day"

 

[Scotley]

Angelo

Seeing which way the wind is blowing Angelo speaks, "I always act with a pure heart and in good faith. Where would you have us go and how soon should we start?"

 

[J. Alexander]

The Commission

Thinking to himself a bith the Archbishop responds...."Best start within the week. I fear that with the streets like they are it may take you a couple of days to gather provisions and such to set out.....as long as it is within the week that will suffice" Reaching into his desk he produces three pouches and tosses them to to you...."This will serve as a downpament and cover your intial expenses. Please send a note to my secretary the day you leave so i may time your journey. Any questions?"

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Tetsu

"None on my account, Your Grace!"

Tetsu will accept the pouch and tuck it away without looking inside.

"Well, my new found friends, it seems we've a journey ahead of us. Best we begin our preparations!"

The Comission

Occ: Must Be A Slow Day For Everybody

 

[Scotley]

Angelo

Taking the measure of the pouch by weight before slipping it away, Angelo asks, "Have you a map or some other direction to our targets? How shall we report to you once we are on the road if at all? Will we have any official standing we can use if we run into problems with the local officialdom? I understand that this commision is to be kept quiet, but perhaps there is some other agency with which you have contacts? One we could use as a cover story as it were and to cut through impediments? Royal Surveyors? Sight locators for the temple and shrine construction guild? Seekers of some high noble's lost hunting dog? Anything that will alay suspicion and give us a reason to be where we are that won't cause anyone to look at us too closely?"

 

[J. Alexander]

The Commisson

In response to his questions the ARchbishop replies "The beauty of this commission is that it is so vague. It is hoped that those undertaking such a commission will not draw undue attention to themeself or their mission thus not cover story other than simple travers going north"

 

[Scotley]

Angelo

"Fair enough. Northward bound are we. Simple travelers three..." He says almost making a marching song of it.

 

[J. Alexander]

The Commission

"Well it would defeat the purspose would it not if you were known agents of anytype" the Archbiship says as the party leaves. "The light be with you "
