[LPF] The Road to Tritower

[Aura]

Anna Kallira
With the group quickly retiring to their rooms (or getting caught up in magic shop talk), Anna is left to finish her dinner and head out into the night, on her way home.

[sblock=morning]We'll shift to morning scene when Brandon and Karra have finished their information exchange.[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc/DWI]Generally a game thread does not return to actually posting in the Dunn Wright Inn, even if the characters are physically there, unless there is a specific need to interact with people in the DWI that are not in the game thread. As an example, it happened when a game got low in membership and the group returned to the DWI to bolster their numbers.[/sblock]

"Spontaneous Casting... Hmmm... sounds definitively handy. I will try and prepare some Spells that would complement yours and are helpful to our cause."

Brandon the Swift

"That sounds good. Now, please excuse me but I really do need to sleep."

With those words, Brandon gives a polite nod to Karra and leaves for his room, covering an emerging yawn with his hand.

With planning for magic finished, the last members of the group put to bed. All awaken well rested and ready for the adventure ahead of them.

The Cathedral of Glass is a relatively easy building to find. It's hard to see the Venza skyline and miss it--it's one of the largest buildings, and probably the only one made of glass. It literally sparkles in the sun. However, the many canals that cut Venza into smaller districts make it less trivial to actually get to, particularly for those unused to the layout of the city.

Snaking your way through the city, you set your course for the Incudine district and finally find yourselves in Benedetto piazza, also known as the Grand Piazza. By Venzan standards, it is a huge open air plaza, and bustles with activity, even early in the morning. All sorts of people vie for your attention: amateur performers, political activists, criers, etc. The only thing distinctly missing are merchants. Additionally, several White Cloaks (the Venzan city watch) are here at all times, keeping an eye on things.

Amidst all this activity, it is impossible not to notice the Cathedral of Glass itself. Looking in that direction, you can see Priestess Anna and two men standing together with two mules. Leaning on her traveling staff, she awaits your arrival, but doesn't seem to notice you as you approach.

"Good morning everyone" Karra says cheerful to the group. Turning to the tow men, she hasn't seen before "Nice to meet you. Lets hope the travel will be uneventful." She says with a smile

 

[Anastrace]

Leira Olren

"Good morning Anna, and company" Leira says happily, before turning to her party members, "and good morning to the both of you too."

Leira adjusts her shield and backpack for comfort, checks the retention of the urumi wrapped around her like a belt to make sure the loops are holding up well. Next she adjusts her sword scabbard, and makes sure her shuriken are easily accessible.

"There, all set. I may not have magic, but I've still got my own tricks." She laughs.

Brandon the Swift

Brandon nods a greeting to everyone present. Hearing Leira's last statement, he says, with a smirk :

"Now, no need to be jealous. You might get to enjoy its benefits regardless."

 

[Aura]

Anna Kallira
Your greetings seem to start the priestess from her reverie. "Oh, good morning you three. So good to see you again so shortly. Galin, Anzaldo, these are the people Anton hired last night to travel with us."

[section]Galin, a stout, armored man of about 20 sporting a shortsword as his primary weapon, smiles and nods as you approach, standing fairly close to Anna.

The older man, Anzaldo, grins broadly, exposing his missing front tooth. "Ya lassie, itta be good if we things were nice an quiet, but less interestin! I'll be hoping for a little more excitement than the occasional ratty nuisance, truth be told! If ah die, oh well..better tan liven bored!" It's unclear if he had more to say, because he is suddenly taken up with some sort of itch under his tunic, and goes silent as he scratchs away for a while.[/section]

 

[Anastrace]

Leira Olren

Looking over to Anzaldo, "Well, I hope it won't come to you dying. I mean that's what we're here for right?" Leira paused.

"No wait, I meant to escort and fight for you, not just do the dying." Leira said, flustered.

"Anyway, shall we depart?" She said, trying to recover her composure.

 

[Aura]

Anna Kallira
With the old mule-driver chuckling quietly in the background, Anna responds, "Well, then, I suppose we need to get going, then." With that, the young priestess starts off in a generally eastward direction, staff tapping out the ground ahead of her as she walks. The temple guard walks with her while Anzaldo, the mule-driver, waits for the three of you to start off before following.
