[LPF] Distant Relations

[deisenhut]

Yoshiki Akita (Human Monk 4)

As the second person grunts at them, Yo grunts in response. He tries to hide the smirk that wants to form across his face. He sort of follows the elf and picks a table near him, but trying not making it obvious that he is doing so. He looks for any sign of what the special for the evening is. "I wonder what they are serving tonight?" he says quietly to the others as they presumably sit down at the same table. He looks toward the bartender to try to get his attention. "At the very least we could get something to drink."

OOC: Yoshiki has nothing to buy.

Quioan nods distractedly at Yoshiki, clearly preoccupied by the larger purpose of their presence at the tavern. Seating himself, he crosses legs, purses his lips, and begins to wait. Patience seems to come easily enough to one well over a hundred years of age.

OOC: I'm in the process of gearing up for some traveling, so I'm being a bit slack about going over Q's equipment to see if I can drop any weight to make room for some blunt arrows, at the very least. I'll probably get a chance to do so in the next couple of days; doesn't seem like an urgent rush.

Anna sits down with Yo and Quinoan whispering under her breath "They sure seem a friendly sort...

She sits comfortably and waits patiently.

OOC: thanks for bearing with my schedule the past few days guys. I'll level Anna tonight.

 

[jkason]

The young half-elf stares daggers at Anna as his apparently keen hearing picks up her comment.

"Don't imagine you'd be so keen on making fast friends if you'd been living on the streets the past few weeks," he grumbles back.

 

[GlassEye]

Elenka sits quietly. She's a bit nervous but doesn't want to let it show with fidgeting so she clasps her hands in her lap.

"Wonder how long until we get started?"

The party waits perhaps twenty minutes, the young half-elf sulking in the corner, the barkeep quietly cleaning his glasses, and then a group of six masked cultists arrive, three dressed in white robes, two in gray, and one in black. It's the same color configuration as the street preaching sessions, though between the masks and shapeless robes, it's anyone's guess if these are the same individuals.

They look about the room and move toward the stage, arraying themselves on the floor as the black robe in attendance steps up, then turns to face the room. Whether he's glaring or not, the metal mask provides the effect of same in any event.

With a strong, deep, rich voice, he calls out, “You have come here to seek the power and glory of Owbej, and I am here to tell you that he has found you worthy!”

“All praise the Living God!” the arrayed cultists puppet back in unison.

“He is proud of you,” the black-robed figure continues, his voice growing steadily louder, “for taking this, the first of 31 steps to enlightenment, the path of righteousness, the stairs to power and glory. Owbej is the one, true god. What other god so richly rewards those who follow him? What other god lives among his people, guiding them with his wisdom and his might? What other god can lead you to true salvation? None of them! Only Owbej can offer you the power, the fortune, and the glory that you desire. Will you join him?”

The final question, delivered in a truly impressively booming voice by this point, echoes through the room as the black robe folds his arms and waits for an answer.

"I'm in!" the half-elf calls out. His mood seems to have lightened slightly during the speech, as he winks at the party and conspiratorially adds under his breath, "Gotta be better than the Harran, and definitely better than Dad …"

 

[Qik]

Bloody hell - 31 steps? Hopefully it won't take past 4 or 5 to expose these frauds, thinks the elf, fighting his eyebrows' urge to arch. Quioan sits back in his chair and waits to see what happens next.

 

[GlassEye]

Elenka tries very hard to silence that critical, investigative portion of her mind and accept everything as one of the newly initiated would. When the black-robe calls out asking if any will join Owbej she calls out in the affirmative.

"Yes, I will!"

[Qik]

Trying to follow Elenka's example, Quioan begins to nod his affirmation as well.

 

[deisenhut]

Yoshiki Akita (Human Monk 4)

"He knows were worthy already? That's setting the bar low." Yo thinks to himself. Hearing Elenka already announce their affirmative, Yoshiki forces himself to smile and nod in the affirmative as well. His thoughts continue to humor himself. "Step 1 complete!"

OOC: Why do I feel like I'm joining the STO?
