Kulan: Knightfall's Heroes of Carnell Game [IC]

One hundred gold each? That's it? For all that work? Seemed like a paltry amount to Reneg, BUT seeing as he wasn't really all that interested in the money anyway, such a low amount didn't matter to him much at all. Most likely those other mercenaries had laughed in her face, but from what he had heard, the mercenaries didn't have good manners at all. Not to say he did have good manners, but at least they weren't too terrible.

Anyway, "I agree to the terms," he tells the lady. Although he hoped that her husband's body wasn't beyond recovery. From what he thought he remembered about harpies, they liked to eat their victims. How would the lady respond if they handed her a handful of bones? Aw well, hopefully he was still alive and that talk of his demise were incorrect. He looks at the others. "And I'm ready to go when everyone else is."

OOC: No, my character did not repeat what he said a second time. I got hit by the dreaded double-post. Although that would certainly make for an interesting pbp character: occasionally reposting lower below what you had already posted because your character continually repeats himself.

"Yes, that sounds fair. I presume you'll provide a boat and a trained crew?" Halmar says, not taking his eyes off the younger Lady. He didn't care for money either, it meant little to him, except the value others placed in the metal. Now gems on the other hand, there was something about the way they sparkled, similar to the sparkle he saw in the daughter's eyes... he quickly averts his eyes and stuffs a piece of cheese into his mouth.
 

No, we are from a fair bit farther. I doubt my lady has heard of the place, but I'll be pleased to tell you about the lands of Silver Leaves once we've taken care of your problem. Lorien replies to the Lady's inquiry about their origin.

After listening to the rest of the conversation he taps his chin in pondering. It seems we are in a hurry, but we shouldn't rush without some knowledge where we are going. May I suggest we take a while to see if the library holds any information about Gurnard's Head before we head out?

"I have indeed heard of the Kingdom of the Silver Leaves. You are quite far from your home. A conversation about your homeland sounds like a great diversion once your mission is finished," she replies.

"Of course my lady, your terms are reasonable and your quest is honourable. You can count on me." Quinn states

"Good. I am glad we are in agreement. As for the boat you will be using, it is more of a large rowboat than a sailing ship. Several of the townsfolk should be able to handle the craft without difficultly if you prefer not to handle the craft yourself.

"The distance to Gurnard's Head from the southwestern shore is minimal, so I doubt you will have to worry about the boast turning over. If you stay close to the sandbar at lowtide then the trip there should be a simple matter. It is once you get there that you should truly be concerned. None of the locals will stay on Gurnard's Head overnight, so they will insist on returning back to shore with the boat once they have dropped you off.

"Of course, if you row the boat yourselves then you will have it available to you in case something goes wrong. There are two such launches moored at the southwestern shoreline."

"The library is up the stairs, to the left, and down the first hallway. It is the last door to the left. I will have my scribe, Gangrell, meet you there if you wish to use his services. The library is not very large, but it is a bit disoragnized. I am sure there is something in there about the rock fortress. Records of some sort."

Lady Pendour stops for a moment to put a hand on her daughter's arm. The young girl had been staring at Sheyla intently. Lady Chartrese quickly averts her eyes and blushes a crimson red.

"I must help my child with her courtly studies, so unless there is anything else you wish to ask me, I will leave you in the capable hands of Sir Ebal."

She looks to each of you, in turn, waiting for any additional questions.

Sheyla

“Thank you, I believe we have everything we need. We can set out immediately,” Sheyla says in answer to Lady Pendour, pretty much ignoring the human child.
 

"If the way isn't so treacherous, we can perhaps make it ourselves. I was worried about the perils of the waters for someone unfamiliar with them, but I think I'd rather have the boat, just in case" Halmar says to the others.

"Agree. We should be going, the fast we reach the place, the faster we can swept out the harpies." replies Quinn

"Haste is a good choice," Lady Pendour replies. She and her daughter stand and the lady turns to Sir Ebal. "Please escort our guest to your father and have him write a writ of intent for the gold they will receive once they have brought my beloved back to me. 100 gold each..."

She pauses, looks towards Sheyla, and then continues.

"No, have him make it 150 gold each. %0 gold now and a 100 gold once they return with my husband's body. I sense that their task may be more difficult than any of us yet know."

"I will do as you command, my lady." Sir Ebal salutes his charge. "My father will object regarding the amount but I will assure him that it is your will."

"It is required and it is my will." Lady Pendour turns to Lorien. "That is as much as I can give. Anything more and I risk bankrupting my coffers. Use the gold I have given you up front wisely."

Lady Pendour says no more as she and her daughter walk to an up the staircase to the level above.

"I will take you to my father," Sir Ebal states matter-of-factly. "After he has given you your gold and writs, I will have one of the manor stewards escort back to town. Gaerth will be able to show you the way to the shoreline where the launches are moored."

He walks to the halls entry and opens the double doors. You hear the guards come to attention.

"At ease," Ebal says. "A deal has been struck. You, fetch one of the stewards to my father's office."

"Yes sir," the guard replies. He then walks down the hall, out of sight, but you can still hear his armor clanking.

Sir Ebal turns back towards you.

"Please follow me."

The knight waits for you to stand before tuning back towards the door. He obviously plans to lead the way.

"You are most noble and generous my lady" the warrior says, and watches the pair disappear on the stairs.

Quinn happily stands and follows Ebal.
