"Well, you see, a friend of mine, who is now on my naughty list, strongly recommended coming here for the wine harvest in the spring. If you take a look around, it's not really spring, is it? I'll have to have a few words him when I get back for sure."

"Now about that getting home to Venza business. This place gives me the chills! Literally and figuratively. I have been stuck here a few weeks, I don't like what I see going on. It appears to me that every foreigner is labelled a possible terrorist and subsequently abducted by the queen's guard. I for sure do not want to join their ranks. Let's back to the docks quickly before more come back."

[Aura]

Charity, Human Female
Hefting the last guard into the alleyway, Charity stands in the shade, peering out. "I'm not sure what 'getting home to Venza business' you are referring to, you seem to be the first to mention it. If that's your goal, thank you for your assistance, it was good to band together for a common cause, and best wishes on your return home."

The young Cortesian cocks her head towards the others, thinking. After a short pause, Charity continues speaking, "Hunh. We did learn one thing. They called us rebels. The most obvious reason for use of this label is when one faces a rebellion. Is that the case here? And if so, can we find it?" Stepping down the alleyway and further into the city, she clarifies, "We should move. One thing is for sure, they will be back and we do not want to be here." With that, the woman steps up her pace.

Francis shoots Charity a look most puzzled, and begins to frantically ask some questions. "What's all this talk about rebellion? Don't you want to go home? Why did you come here? Why do you want to stay?" The halfling makes sure the snake is back at home hidden in his hair, and mounts his war pig. Even though he spoke about leaving, he follows the group through the alleys, clearly interested in continuing the conversation.

​

[/section]

[sblock=OOC]PM, no rush at all, but I am still curious if Francis found anything interesting on the guards.

All, I think Francis truly would just leave and go home, the selfish little brat he is. But since this is an adventure you know, I'll figure out a reason for him to stay and help out. [/sblock]

Aishe Luminitse (Jaelle Nuri)
[section]

Aishe pitches in willingly to help search the guards and get them tucked away into a nearby alley. She flashes a bright smile at Francis John when he introduces himself. "Well met, my Prince. I am Aishe." She gives the little Halfling a playful wink. "We're here on business, and our business is not complete. No reason not to have a little fun while we're here, though, hey? Want to tag along?"

[sblock=OOC]
Also sorry for my own delays. Been working on selling our house/buying another, then holidays, and now I've been laid up sick for a week. Trying to catch up now on all of my games (player and GM).

Working on Jaelle's level-up.

Francis smiles at the warm greeting offered in comparison to Charity's. "My sincerest pleasure to meet you, Miss Aishe. I suppose I could stir up some trouble for you guys. Overthrowing a kingdom has been on my bucket list a while now. What's your mission?"

Yosephus smiled at the halfling, and introduced himself too. "Hello, Francis John. I am Yosephus. Thank you for helping us deal with those stupid guards."

Then he listened to the halfling's question and answered, "Francis, our mission is to remove the Queen from power since she started this eternal winter."

The cleric followed the group into the alley way, right after Charity.

~ Day 19, mid-afternoon: Ashore Yarendel ~

There was nothing special on the guards. They each has gold and silver coins in their pockets, except for the captain. He had some royal medals that showed his rank that could be worth something. The captain also had some identification papers that were now stained with blood. Each of the guards also had an everburning torch on their person for night patrols.

The guards had some masterwork weapons too. But there was not much time to even gather those up and dragging the bodies.

There were witnesses to your murder of the guards and there was a bell now ringing in response to the whistle being blown. Reinforcements could be arriving any moment.

"Pleasure to meet your acquaintance, good sir Yosephus! I met a halfling friend of yours, Devlin, back at the Dunn Wright, who told me about your exploits at Boar's Ridge and that creature contraption you faced. Quite wonderful!"

"Now, count me in your rebellion business. To kill the serpent you must sever the head!" He pauses, then speaks to the snake in his hair. "That's right Boots! Know your place!"

Francis gathers what he can from the guards, specifically the medals, papers, and gold. His ears perk up when he hears the alarm bells. "Gah! The jig is up! The way I see it we have three choices."

"One. Head for the mountains. Find our way to the castle.
Two. Quickly seek refuge in a house. Hopefully with someone supportive. If not, I'll make them that way.
Three. I saw a rather serendipitously placed ladder to what I'm assuming the underground. Don't really know how to get my useless pig down there though.

Thoughts? Quickly now!"

[Aura]

Charity, Human Female
Red hair shifting side to side, Charity sighs. "Almost the same options we had before, two of them, at least. More contact with random locals is a recipe for bloodshed, which leaves heading for the mountains or hitting the sewers. I'm prepared for either." She stops speaking, but continues to move along. "As for your pig, grease him up and release him into the town. Hours of fun for them and a great distraction for us." Something about the delivery of that last part seems lacking in sincerity, perhaps the young woman's cheshire grin.
