There may even be a slight blush to his cheeks, its hard to tell with such weathered leathery skin. He coughs and mumbles into his beard a bit. It's possible to make out something about being a relief, just testing you and being awake.He gives Ryall a friendly pat on the shoulder, and then proceeds to clean out his ears while listening to Quioan's proposal.The tracks seems like a far more sensible first step. I concur with Master Scorchsong. The Gabbiano's house is a days march back towards town. Actually, don't even know that hey live in town, come to think of it. The tracks on the other hand are here and probably fresh. How long have you been away from the house Mr Rogue? Well that is the head start this rather crafty and magically talented woodsman has on us. Let's fall into the trap ... I mean follow the tracks! If we meet a dead end, and by dead end I mean the tracks lead nowhere, as opposed to us all dying, then we can follow up on the Gabbiano clue.Relic searches for the next most intact hawk amongst them still wearing the distinctive jesse. He kneels down and mutters arcane words as a ray of ice fires from his finger and freezes the bird into a block of ice. He scoops it up and drops it into a sack and then puts the sack into his back pack for a later date in case accusations need be made.I'm sorry, Mr Rogue, my memory seems to have slipped me again, can you remind me what colour you said the window shutters of your hut were? And how much did each of you you pay for the hut in any case?As he gathers himself together and orders his thoughts he comments out loud:Hawks and Woodsmen fit together. Making a house ready magically ready for transport and shafting peasants ... seems a strange mix of petty, cruel and bizarre use of one's arcane talent. However if it was made to float, or light enough, trained birds could be used to move the house. I do wonder why someone would hustle a few coins out of a peasant for a house worth less than his bow and then leave a gem behind that is worth probably the same or if not more. This happened to Mr Ryall out in the baronies, if my befuddled brain serves me correctly. Now, where on earth did the Gabbiano's live again ...?Relic struggles with his memory, trying to recall more details about the Gabbiano Family while he waits patiently. Staff in hand, pack on back, he is ready to leave whenever the group is ready.[OOC] Re Metagaming: My suspicion of Ryall was based on a misinterpretation of what I thought he said when he saw the gem which I thought associated him with bandits, and I thought he hushed up mid sentence as he realised what he was saying. The low detect motive rolls are not in any way the reason for this suspicion. If anything the second 1 on my part reflects perhaps the unwarranted suspicion of a slightly deaf old man towards an innocent peasant whose house has been stolen. I do think whatever the roll my character can be suspicious no matter what the dice say. They can also reflect an inabilty to detect anything about the person that can affirm those suspicions. Actually, I think Relic may now incorrectly (I think incorrectly at this stage) suspect Ryall is being dishonest to better reflect Relic's complete lack of ability to read truth in words or actions. He's just getting things a bit wrong at the moment. He bites his lip as the words the peasants speak seem to make sense, and he is aware he is a bit hard of hearing, but (probably incorrectly) he has a nagging doubt about Ryall's involvement.Edit: Dice Text was cut, I guess too long; It's a history check to try and remember if the Gabbianos live in New Jersey ... I mean the Baronies as opposed to Vezna city. P.S Is InVinoVeritas' reaction to Gabbiano for something in particular? Anything to do with the Sopranos? [/OOC]</blockquote>
