Baeleth Dawnmist, Male High Elf Swashbuckler

“Of course, but it seems quite possible that the people who were sacrificed, also had something they wanted. The fencing master I was looking for, when I found my way into this intrigue, seems to have had a pouch they took...so did they take anything from you?”

"Just my pride, friend. Just my pride," Dhistan laughs.

 

[Bront]

'Apparently not enough.'

"We have some time, the corination is not for months, but she should know, and perhas she can give us some insight into who might want to do something to her."

Baeleth Dawnmist, Male High Elf Swashbuckler

"Just my pride, friend. Just my pride," Dhistan laughs.

“Well, you may just have been a sacrifice, Dhistan, as everyone else seems to have been either a local or involved in long term business here. Hmm, I wonder if perhaps we should at least investigate the other names on our list, to see whether they had something important go missing...”

Rhaka nods at Baeleth. "I think we should make sure that we are able to be healed first. Valerie ... I do not mean to offend your generosity, but if you desire I can heal everyone tomorrow without troubling the priest or their expensive service. Of course, it is in your hands. And it will mean that I have spend much in the way of my magic in terms of spells."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Uhhh, helloo? Remember when Baeleth went downstairs and they called for a priest that is now already coming? It wasn't very long ago, you know--maybe two minutes. If you send the priest away after specifically asking for them, it's going to make everyone involved look bad."

 

[Nonlethal Force]

"I beleve I was speaking to Valerie. It is an option and legitimate one at that. Besides, if you do not like traveling in my company than I can always leave. Or you can."

[Sblock=OOC] Shheeesh! See if I ever try and get the RP rolling again after a pause![/Sblock]

"I'm really not seeing how it is a legitimate option in the slightest. But in the interest of thinking things through and working things out instead of just disagreeing, I'd like to hear why you think it is. I've basically already said why I think it isn't--Baeleth already had them call in the priest, so no matter what, a priest is going to come over here all the way from the temple, having been hired to heal our injured. By sending the priest away, you make us look frivolous, petty, and uncaring for the priest's duties in sending for a priest and then sending it back. We also may look like cheapskates if they know that we actually do have some badly injured people here who could legitimately use the healing. You make the inn look bad because we used them as a proxy in sending out for the priest, and so priests will be less likely to listen in the future when this inn calls for an emergency, and it may strain relations between the temple and the inn. You make the priest and his order looks bad because they appear to be insignificant lackeys or errand boys who can be called down from the temple and then sent away on a whim--normally a petitioner would go to the temple for healing, and they are doing what they likely consider a great service by sending a priest out instead."

(OOC: Don't feel too bad )
