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

*Kel finds that the rope has been pulled up and fed into the window slightly to avoid it being spotted during their earlier escapades.*

"Catch me if I fall," murmurs Blunt, as he repeats his earlier action of scaling the two building like a chimney.

*Blunt manages to make it to the top again, and he is able to take 10 climbing the rope down the inside crates now that a battle isn't raging, reaching the others again and leaving Kel outside.*

*Together, the others are able to gather everyone and regroup in the alley with Kel.*

"Whew! Finally!"

"OK, now it's time to find an inn. Nhalia, where are those gems? Now, does anybody know much about shinies? I figure these are more than enough to get us a place to sleep - and a good one, at that."

OOC: Knowledge (Local) +7 to find an inn. RA, what's the value breakdown of the gems - one more pricey than the other? And would they be likely to actually get some change, if the inn bill was less than the value of the gem?

(OOC: Blunt beat you to it And a good thing, since you'd likely fall and die )

OOC: RA, I edited my previous post instead of posting anew. Forgot you wouldn't get an update message!

"Blunt needs food, badly," the bald-headed human mutters. "And a good rest," he adds as they start towards the desired inn.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: The gems seem to be roughly even, and he would likely get change)

*Kel knows some of the highest-profile and best inns in the city from stories of the beautiful serving girls, fine wine, and excellent service, and he knows a lot of the sleaziest around from his life experience, but he actually doesn't know much about the middle-of-the-road inns.*

 

[Boddynock]

OOC: In other words, he failed his Knowledge (Local) roll! OK, he'll head towards the higher end of town - not really expensive but definitely not the slums. They don't need sleaze at the moment. They need somewhere where they can feel relatively safe. And since he knows so many of the dives, he'll work on the assumption that the ones he's not familiar with are more likely to be reasonable. And of course, something that's not too far to carry the others would be a real plus, too.

(OOC: You and your metagame terms like 'fail'. I put his failure in terms of other sorts of successes and made him come across as cool )

*Kel leads everyone over to the better part of town, passing by the only inn that is obvious to recognise from afar--Elenia's Blessing. It's legendary as the most expensive and best of all inns in Thresk, and it is notable for its alabaster facade and the image of the brilliantly-gorgeous blonde-haired woman on the front, resplendant enough to be worshipped as an icon of a goddess, and indeed some of the poorer folk sometimes pass by the inn specifically to pay their respects to the image, such is their love for their kind-hearted princess.*

*Moving past, since one night at that inn would likely take all of their gold, they look around and eventually find a less-fancy inn somewhere nearby in that area, though considering it is the less-fancy inn, the name is an ironic pun--The Unicorn's Fancy.*
