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

[Nonlethal Force]

"I tell you what. Let's compromise. One of you go get a handful of berries and I'll bless them and hand them out as we go back to the hotel. That sound fair?"

“Well that might work, but where are we going to get berries in a city at this time of day? I’d guess most people will have packed up any stalls or such by now...”

 

[Bront]

"Also, we're not going back. We can't let the trail grow cold. Now is the time to ask about."

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Rhaka lifts an eyebrow in Valerie's direction. "Not going back? Where do you guys plan on spending the night? Overall, not going back is preferrable, personally. I'll merely shift my plans from providing free meals to fixing items that need repair as we go."

[Sblock=OOC]What approximate time is it, anyway? I know we were waiting for some time (I was thinking like 2-3 hours when I wrote this post. Plus, we'd already been to the warehouses, finding the magic shop, and then asking and finding this hedge mage. I guess I was just assuming it was late in the day - which is why I have Rhaka responding as she is. If this isin error, I'll happily edit[/Sblock]

(OOC: Completely correct--it is past nightfall now, but Valerie doesn't want to give up the chase just yet )

OOC: Doh, I thought it was like late afternoon. I always have trouble keeping track of time in your adventures for some reason.

"Well, perhaps we can ask around on our way back then, but I don't want the trail to get too cold. Perhaps when we get back, we can brainstorm on things to ask the mouse tomorow if we think we can get more information."

(OOC: The disconnect may have been when you waited for quite a bit of time at the house--you guys accomplished a lot so far to day, especially including the waiting )

Verra is happy to follow along after the others, occasionally wandering when something catches her eye or ear.

Rhaka says, "Either way. If we can return to the motel, it will give me a time to accomplish my quest for the mouse."

[Sblock=If we go to the hotel next...]EDIT: On the way back, Rhaka looks to see if there are any berry bushes around - or if there are any berry venders she can ask for a few "nearly spoiled" berries they wouldn't mind parting with. If she can find some, she casts Goodberry upon them, eats one, and gives the rest out to anyone who appears to be homeless or poor - especially to the children. If no berries can be found, she looks for someone with either torn clothes or a busted tool and asks for permission to mend it. If she can find such a person and an appropriate item, she casts mending free of charge. If she can do both, she does so.

OOC: I see no need to RP this unless you do, RA.

Once back to the hotel, Rhaka excuses herself from the companions and announces that she will return to Valeries room in a few moments. She then goes to accomplish her task for the mouse.[/Sblock]

"Let us be off then," Val says.

Val intends to see if any near the hovel heard any comotion, though she is not intent on waking anyone up to do so either. If Rhaka needs anything, Val will ask and offer to help.
