[LPF] Borric, Nathan, Sylvain, & Zelena

Borric Hawkins, Male Human Fighter

Borric looks back over his mug of ale with complete innocence on his expression as he replies to Zelena, "Ha, as if. Not I, lass. Not I. I have never even heard a peep about it in the brothels."

"What about you, Syl? Have you or Walter been rolling with any scholarly whores?"

"It is possible it will feel like being shattered into a million pieces and then put back together again. Maybe it will open up in the middle of the sky somewhere else and we will fall to our deaths. Or maybe..."

"Oh, hell. If people use them, it should be okay." he wonders if it would be better to be snockered when they go through the mysterious portal or not.

"Much as you, Borric, scholars aren't my strong suit. I guess they are too clever for my particular line of bullcrap. But as to the teleportation circle, I think you answered your own question, big guy. If people weren't able to use them, why would they be there? Between Zelena and I, I'm sure one of us can find a way to start that thing up..."

Zelena looks to Borric with a brow raised before she comments to him, "While you can be rather uncouth, I know there is smart man under that facade you portray to the world. There must be more to your existence other than a paid woman in your bed. I am not one to pry, so keep what you need to keep, but know we are are friends Borric." She smiles warmly at the man.

She then looks to Waltor and then to Syl, "Girlfriend?" She shrugs and the shares with the pair, "I remember when we were up there in the mountains. That, gate, there was small notches along the swirl. Maybe there are destinations along a possible path? Do you think there might be someone in the city that might have knowledge of such things?"

The last time the group was here in Gist they visited a strange, tiefling priest-sage at his temple-library concerning the location of Khuldun. You could likely find your way back to his temple and ask questions about the Khuldun gate if you think it might be worthwhile to do so.

Borric Hawkins, Male Human Fighter

Borric sips his ale and looks wistfully up at the ceiling.

"Aye, there is more to life than scroggin and tusslin', but not when we are relaxing between our adventures afield, lass. I think you should come along next time, we can help you meet just the right... fella?... or, lass? Or whatever, floats your boat."

"That's what friends do for each other." Despite his boyish grin, apparently the brash fighter is quite serious about his brothels.

He downs the rest of his ale and pushes up from the table.

"You are right, I ain't no idiot most of the times."

"I recognize a good idea when I hear one. Let's go hunting for a magic gate scholar. Perhaps we can even find a some books or scrolls... Hmmm, you know? We might need to travel to a bigger city to do some research. Of course, we won't know before we check."

Say, wasn't there a tiefling we consulted last time we were here?"

LOL, I had already drafted Borric this morning before you posted. Perfect segway, GE. I only needed to mention the tiefling.

This morning, I just thought of an idea for the next step in our adventure. And it doesn't put us in a place where Nate catching up later would seem artificial.

Urban mini-scenario to research on the portals. Finding the scholar could mean rescuing him from some predicament.
And/Or, we need to go look in an ancient library rumored to be a day or two away. Both could have 1-2 encounters and keep us around our current location.[/Sblock]

"Cannot hurt I suppose. I would not mind having some idea what I am doing." She says with a nod.

Excellent ideas. I'll try to get an update posted on Sunday.[/sblock]

"Not a bad idea. It might be helpful to know what we are getting into, before we go teleporting ourselves hither and thither. I don't recall our last sage being overly friendly, so we might have to do some serious cajoling to get him to help us again. Of course, they can always use help for something or the other. Might even just have Borric clean his library for a few days," Syl adds, smiling at the thought of the warrior doing some maid-work for the sage. "And of course, you and I could hang out and drink lemonade," he mentions to Zelena.

Borric scoffs.

"Yeah? Just what do you think I will be cleaning with? My trust flail will make a right mess of his precious library if I start cleaning."

"Ha ha ha. I am fookin' bull in a china shop, ya know."

He is about ready to go, laying some coins on the table and telling the barmaid about them to cover the tab.

"I am not too drunk, best we be about this before I manage to change that. Let's go see a tiefling about a portal."

"And Syl... That is not a euphemism for needing to take a dump. Already took care of that earlier."

Hall of the Bradan Feasa

It takes a little while walking through the winding back streets of Gist before Borric, Sylvain, and Zelena stumble across a street they all think is the correct street. When they come upon the familiar wooden door with its carved fish symbols they remember that this is the place they met with the tiefling sage who gave them tedious historical lectures and the maps of the territory of the Sul Gulden mountains.

Pounding on the door with gauntleted fist brings an echoing thud but no response from the tiefling, Aquos, whose title, Waltor is quick to remind Sylvain, is Tender of the Bradan Feasa. A few passersby in the street look askance at the three standing outside the temple-library and increase their pace to hurry past. Celebfedhiin sniffs curiously at the foot of the door.
