Kiss of Darkness: Part 1--A Hint of Shadow

[Rystil Arden]

*They look around the humble residence, which consists of only two rooms, an all-purpose front room for cooking, dining, and greeting guests, and a bedroom with a small desk and bookshelf to act as a study. Neither of these rooms is occupied.*

 

[Nonlethal Force]

[Sblock=OOC]Do the rooms look looted or in order? Assuming they are not looted because you would have probably told us so if it was the case ...[/Sblock]

Once she noticed that the rooms looked empty she adds, "I suggest waiting outside. First, it is not so assertive. Second, someone may see us and we can ask when the mage might return. Third, the mage himself might see us outside."

“Yes, I suppose so, though I wonder how he’d react to finding a meal cooked for him upon his return,” Baeleth muses, as he begins to wander back outside.

*The rooms do not look looted. In fact, searching a cabinet to the side of the back room reveals that it holds more than it should, and it holds several outfits and simple spell components, plus a simple wooden staff. Perhaps even those who would dare loot the home of a Wizard realise the folly of angering one who would be their benefactor.*

*The group waits outside for a while, though soon it starts raining.*

(OOC: How long will they wait at max in case he doesn't show up?)

Val huddles under the front porch, "This is the best lead we've had so far, how long should we wait? Or maybe we can just leave a note that we want to talk to him"

Baeleth Dawnmist, Male High Elf Swashbuckler

“Well I don’t mind waiting for an hour or two, though I’d prefer to wait out of the rain,” Baeleth remarks, stepping back inside. “Then perhaps we could leave a note if he hasn’t shown up...”

 

[Nonlethal Force]

"The rain bothers me not, friends. Please go inside - cook the mage a meal if you so desire. I think that might be a fine gesture of reverse hospitality. Get yourself out of the rain. I shall wait with my companion using the side of his house as what shield I can. After all, I have little that minds getting wet on me except myself. And where I come from, the rain is looked upon as a mere cycle that keeps the ground alive."

She pauses and looks to Val. "I agree that we should wait for some time. THis lead is the best we've had and we did come a ways for it."

“Well, normally I’d agree with you about the rain, Rhaka, but I see little sense standing around getting damp, when there is a perfectly acceptable shelter available,” Baeleth remarks casually. “I think I’ll see what our absent host has in his larder, in preparation for his return...”

 

[Rystil Arden]

*The larder turns out to hold some simple bread, some cheese, and water.*

*After two hours, the Hedge Mage has not returned.*

 

[Bront]

"How about we leave the note? Though we can wait till it's dark... unless he's the one we're looking for."
