Regis states, "No, I don't think anyone ever hit you with a whip. And there's only one whip here. Hrm... maybe that pick made your memory foggy. You should probably go check with a cleric."
"Yes, that's what I meant, the pick.

See what I mean, about your language?
I meant the thing that left me this -
"
Brawn points to the would left in him by the little halfling female's pick, before he spends a round or 2 concentrating within to heal himself (2 CLW's).

Regis, "Wait, what did you just do? Your an Argonian Shaman in a Breton Country, working with me, a Bounty Hunter?"

Regis seems rather uneasy now. He finishes disarming the creatures rather quickly, he makes list of everything.

"Alright everyone, good job. I'm going to leave their armor on, as it's a pretty good signature of their identity. Otherwise, here is what we have: A pair of red gloves, marked with Arcane runes, A Brooch, Three Blue-Metal Cylinders, An empty Bottle, A red spell component bag marked with more runes: filled with some silt, A buckler, A decent Short-bow, A Whip, The enchanted Pick, Four Bags of Gold, Eight Bags of Silver, One Bag of Copper, some Incense, A Ring made of Steel, A wooden Periapt, and a Bandana. Just informing you, we won't call it 'loot' since we need to get past the warrant office first. At which point we'll examine things more closely."

"Now, Mak, I presume your going to start the interrogation? I'm not an expert in such matters, I normally capture and report later, and since we let them sit it looks like only one of them will be waking up. That might take us a hit in the reward money, but I think we should still be able to collect some..."

"And as for you, I'm still curious, what the hell kind of Argonian are you? I've tracked a few tribes down when they murdered slavers, or hid convicts away, and most of them seem good natured, but not as godam tall as you, or as powerful."
 

OOC: If Argonia is where the lizard-folk are from, then...


"umm.. yeah!
I'm jussst an Argonian sshaman, up North to discoverss the world... sssee the citiesss.. you knowss...

I'm sssurprissed you didn't sssee me freeing sssome of thossse ssslaves - I've done my ssshare of thatsss.

I would likesss to get rid of ALL ssslavery, but I ass big ass even I am, I can't change sssociety's evilsss.

Hey - you think I could havesss the incenssse?
That sssmellsss goood!
"
Brawn sniffs the air near the bag audibly.
 

Brawn hears Regis's words again in his mind...
"So you'resss a Bounty Hunter?

Why would it be ssstrange for me to be working with you?

You don't like sslavery either, do you?

I wouldn't like that...
"

The innkeepers (plural, there are roughly 6, all working different "shifts") state that they have only seen the mother and the daughter. No other individual has entered their rooms, other than yourself.
Deciding this is all she's going to find out here, Krindor heads back to the Temple. She's going to head back for Diana.
What time of day is it?

You are directed to a familiar, but not exactly recognized location. A minor manor, located near the town's hot-springs. The lemon collored roofing, and the ivory walls make for an interesting, if unsuiting decor.

After being traded by the hands of three servants, you end up in the study of the O' Gestalt family. Books line three tables, each with a glass cover to prevent weathering. Twenty books line each of the three cases, and only one is open, near the back.

There your good friend, Keri, patiently reads with her Crimson Bi-focles. She invites you further into the study and initiates the conversation, "So, good Khelon, how goes your duties?"

Khelon smiles at his friend and responds

"My duties go as well as could be expected but I am surprised at some of the cruelties of the world, it is different outside the temple. How have your contemplations and studies progressed my friend ? Has anything of interest occured here in my absence ? "

Khelon casually glances around checking what each of the books are as he speaks.

Since I'm running both stories at the same time, it's approaching sunset. The church would likely admit you at any hour, given your class basically, so it's a non-issue in that aspect. However, the lady's quarters are closed to you, you find the guard stands stalwart that, "I should not admit any more uninvited guests into m'ladies quarters."

Brawn sniffs the air near the bag audibly.

"As stated, I'd like to appropriately appraise everything bit by bit. It's yours, after I determine whether it has any value."

"I'm not for Slavery or against it. As a priest would say, 'I'm neutral' and that should suffice. It's too difficult to be a good aligned bounty hunter, and unallowed to be evil. I never quite grasped why the temple believes in designating everyone so blandly into categories, it's as if they've codified the world for their own simple-minded agendas. They've broken everyone down into the most perplexing categories, rather than taking reality for itself. I remember they refused to allow me to call myself a bounty hunter in training before I recieved my license. They kept calling me 'Rogue' and 'Redguard' instead. Buncha crazy people in there..."

"One of the discontented priests surfaced. A woman as well, rather overly excited about discovering the names of the lost schools of magic. Corruption and Necromancy, and she was so proud to state this 'fact' as she said. She was captured and sent to the archmage Velius, to be appropriately interrogated. I'm not sure what else can be said on the matter, oh, and it appears that I may have found a husband in old Will Knights son Richard. He's becoming quite the serious persuer."

Among the books that you see on the nearest table are, The Annotated Anaud, Blibliotchekya Volume I-IV, Incyclipidia of Spells Known, Rumors of the Forgotten Disodent Priests, The First Apocolypse, The Believed Burth uf the Trullfurge, and Children's Guide to Cantriptification. Most of these books appear frequently used, and just by looking at them, you can tell they are a priceless collection.

Keri looks at your stare, "Ah, I've been 'squandering' my fathers fortunes, as he would say, on a librum of the old texts. Looks like the order did manage to get their hand on the Enycleopedia of Spells, and the Children's Guide to Cantrips, but they are still excellent source-books on the more ancient magics."

(There's some intentional and non-intentional bad-spelling in there. I'll just hope you can sort it out.)

"I smell what your cooking, Regis.

In fact, the armorer I got this from *points to studded leather armor* kept insisting I was something called a 'Large Reptilian Humanoid'.

I had no idea what he was talking about, but he happily looked up the term on his armor price chart and charged me four times what the going rate was. I mean, I know I'm a big guy, but it's really mostly muscle... :o

What would this world be without categories?
" ;)
