"If that is your word of honor, barbarian, then I accept it and hold you to it.""Do not worry about our flight, we have no desire to take these coins and run, they are not so great a treasure that I would compromise my values for. The greater reward will be destroying these foes and returning peace to your land." Halmar says, once again annoyed at the impracticality of these documents and other ceremonies.
"Every moment we waste here is the potential that another of this town's citizens is in peril" the large barbarian thinks to himself as he waits for the documents to be completed.
"I trust that you will perform your duties in this matter," Lord Ebal says. "I'm glad that a stout warrior such as yourself is helping with this mission.""I'm not planning on raising anyone from the dead. Personally I'm planning to put several harpies in that state." Quinn states with a smile.
"If you do well, I will gladly admit that Lady Pendour chose her champion's wisely. We shall see."“Do not worry, Lord Ebal. We came to offer our help, first and foremost, and it is still our intention to free your community from the threat posed by the harpies. Hopefully your mood will lighten up on our return, then.”
Lord Ebal acknowledges your words with a nod before standing to hand over the writs and coins.Reneg almost laughs at the barbarian's words. "we have no desire to take these coins and run, they are not so great a treasure" True indeed. The value of adventuring was always the rare and unusual magicks to be found in the lairs of monsters, not the reward that was given by the people who desire these monsters to be gone. Of course to those who WOULD be willing to take the money and run... well, they probably weren't able to take care of the monsters anyway.
"No questions here," Reneg tells the Lord, figuring that the man wouldn't listen to anything he said anyway. With some, trust has to be earned and for this Lord, the trust wasn't going to be earned until they returned with their job completed.
Lorien bows his goodbye to the Lord and follows his son outside. Nodding acknowledgement to the guard. Very well. We will see you later. He says to the knight.
Yes, best to start immediatily. He answers to the guard and follows him back to the inn.
“Thank you. You will not be disappointed.”
Sheyla likewise follows the guardsman.
“I agree, let us go back to the inn and then move on to our destination.”
"We shall meet again, and exchange some blade swings, we'll see how good is our lady's champion." offers Quinn with a handshake
The trip back to Gurnard's Arms is short and uneventful. Raius bids you "good luck" before heading back to the manor. You do not find Sir Gareth outside the inn. You do find him inside talking with Timmins, however. Both men greet you heartily.Halmar will simply nod to the seneschal, and follow the others outside.
Once back at the inn, he'll ask "Shall we leave now, or rest first and go at first light?"
