Night's Embrace: Part 1--A Touch of Darkness

Blunt nods his shaved head silently in thought. "Well, we need to generate some income some way. If they would hire us as investigators, then so be it."

"No, you are mistaken," Sulannus injects. "They would not hire us. We would have to find someone to do so. And he did not provide any advice about where to go or what to do in order to find possible employers either."

She sighs. "I suppose if there is a guild hall for merchants, they might have information about who need guards."

"Ahhhh," Blunt says as comprehension finally seeps in. "I would not know where to start with such a thing. But I would gladly join you."

Titus Farrab, human ranger

Titus gives Kel a conspiratorial half-grin, then crosses his arms as he speaks.

"This sounds like a fine, civilized, long-range plan, but it doesn't answer how we plan to get by for the immediate future. As, for example, where do we plan on sleeping tonight? A night exposed in an alley isn't likely to do our wounds much good. That assumes, too, we don't wind up inviting someone new to give us more of the same, whether it's thieves or a rough night guardsman."

Blunt shrugs. "I don't know enough about this place to help make a decision. I don't relish the thought of sleeping on the street, but I see little choice right now."

Sulannus shrugs, helplessly.

"All I can think of is that if we can get employment, they may offer room and board for enlistees?" she hazards.

"I don't know what else to do except leave the city and camp outside. I'm sure we can find a guild in need of guards if we are diligent."

"Shall we start now? Before it's dark?"

Legildur · May 31, 2006

"I can see no reason why not," Blunt agrees. "And it will keep us busy."

Kel rolls his eyes. "Fine - off you go. Titus, maybe you and I should go and look in the alleyway again - see if we can find some clue to where that bastard took the woman."

Titus nods to the shorter young man. "If there's negotiating to do, it's probably best a seedy-looker like me isn't around, all thing's told. I don't know that a mage leaves much of a trail, but if it's there, I'm probably the best for trying to track it. Should we split again and meet back here at sunset? By then, we'll either have a place to stay or we'll be looking for someplace to camp, yes?"
