Message: <blockquote data-quote="Knightfall" data-source="post: 9142596" data-attributes="member: 2012">Earlier in the Day at Stormgrove:Falen finds that Lanterns aren't organized like the Regulars or Elites. When asks for a 'commander of the watch', he is told "to go find Florrie."He finds the wisp of womanhood out in the manor's gardens. The Whiteshadow, as the other Lanterns call her isn't that imposing but she has their loyalty and respect. She listens to Falen's and promises to tell the others of Oakfirst's message.When he asks about and estate manager and a leathermaker, she raises an eyebrow. "With Gerey... occupied. You'll need to talk to me or Puck." She directs him to a small shop near the Black Cat Tavern in the South Ward. "Terger left the manor running with a minimal staff. Timoleon does all the repairs for the manor. He'll help you."It is a short walk across the Lilal Ward and through the Green Gateway and then to the leathersmith's shop. Timoleon is cautious at first but once Falen talls him he's staying at Stormgrove, the man is happy to help. He closes up his shop and goes with Falen back to the manor."I need to finish work on an old saddle," he says.When Falen goes to find Florrie again, she tells him the best place in Bluffside to buy magic weapons used to be in New City. "Kinlay’s Outfitters had anything you could ever think of but after Kinkar was found to have connections to the Rising Swords, the city shut the place down. He fled the city around the same time as the New City Disaster. The city auctioned off all his abandoned stock."She ponders for a minute. "In Old City, hmm, the Sublime Market is your best option for high end goods. Very expensive. You might find something useful as Riftdelve Supplies. But, if you're looking for a deal on something truly exotic then you should go to Velvet Square by the Traders' Gate. She looks at Falen with serious eyes. "But, try not to go there late at night. There are things a lot worse than The Dusk and the Loyalists creeping around those streets."Florrie directs Falen to go see Puck for the cleaning items. The young lad is even younger than Vitus, yet he seems to have become the temporary Warden of the Manor with Gerey a guest of a fey goddess.[HR][/HR]Past Midnight at The Palace:As Rockhorn watches, Tim is the first to respond to the offer...The commander smiles and nods to Tim, but Oakfirst can see the hesitancy in the others eyes."Thank you, Sir Tymbeck," Oakfirst replies.[OOC]The offer actually was asked by Oakfirst. I used the wrong colour for Oakfirst's question to the PCs. Or was Akos shaking his head at what Lady Pomander said?[/OOC]The lord commander's offer and Tim's quick acceptance is follows by several moments of silence.Ela senses Akos hesitancy and shakes her head too. Then, she glances at Vincenzo to see what he will say.Ela nods satisfied. The young Sectarian understands his loyalties to the Wizard Council. Yet, the Sectarian Captain understands that the 'Exemplars', this group, if not the knights, will need his help."I have a suggestion," she says to Vincenzo. "The Wizard Council will need a liaison to these new knights. That could fall to you, if your willing. It would be what you already have been doing, but you'll just have to file more reports.""That would be acceptable," Oakfirst says."I told you this would happen," Lady Pomander says to the lord commander."Yes, it seems I have misjudged the situation." He looks at each of the Exemplars. "I felt you all were ready for this step. I apologize for putting you all in such a difficult position."Several of the Elites and Regulars present appear disappointed. They had hoped for the Exemplars to become their new captains, although it is a bit presumptuous for them to automatically assume they'd all become members of the Knights Exemplar."As for your questions, Mr. Falen, you are probably right there might be magical enchantment at play. If there is a thieves' guild under the candle shop and Barclay Winton, or Kelik, is its master, then maybe he has the answers. Or, maybe it is a ruse to give the Renegade more time to prepare to invade the city with more alien creatures." He sighs. "Its something that might need to be divined.""He is already being watched," the commander replies. "I looked into him after out first conversation. He was reinstated by one of The Five. I don't know who, however." He glances towards Lady Pomander."No," she replies tersely. "There is no way I would ever have let that man back into the Regulars.""I have my suspicions, but I cannot countermand a directive of The Five. And no votes can be taken on the matter until after a replacement has been decided upon... and announced to the public."He nods to Falen. "If this Dacus is worthy of a better assignment, I'll get it for him. Captain Chalsarda might balk at me reassigning him, but she can't overrule me.""Do you think you can commune with your goddess?" Ela asks the young cleric of Tyche. "Do you have the power to ask for her aid?""I know of her," Ela says. "But, I didn't know she is related to the legatus.""Yes, she and the legatus are cousins, I believe, but they rarely spoke to each other. An old argument," Lady Pomander adds. "She's a bit of a loner. She tends to keep to the Temple District. She worships some obscure deity unrelated to Ticinum.""I don't think she's attended a city function in years," Oakfirst notes. "I've always found her to be a bit of a wallflower, and eccentric. Quite refreshing for a noble lady. She's not the stuffy sort. She's constantly giving gold to the homeless in the Temple District's streets. She loves having tea with whoever comes to her door. She rarely remembers them, if they visit again."[HR][/HR][OOC][USER=24380]@Neurotic[/USER], I'll reply to the rest of your post tomorrow. It's now past 1 a.m. for me. Time to sleep.[/OOC]</blockquote>
