[PbP] The Heroes of Silleria

[MerakSpielman]

He waves his hand over the gold on the table. When the coins should be coming into view again, they have vanished. It's difficult to tell if that was a slight of hand trick or real magic.

(to Oren)

(as the scratch-the-table thought is going on)"Do not think to test me, child. As for getting in touch with the Guild, well, those who cannot find us on their own are undeserving of the privelege."

(to Kerith)

"Scam? I was not playing your game, though you are correct in assuming I am not limited to this particular form. Olidammara bring you wisdom."[/color]

He rises to leave, and vanishes from view.

Michelle opens her mouth to speak but before she can say anything, the man has taken 18 pieces of their gold and left after numerous no-so-veiled threats.
"Hmmf.. @sshole." she says once he's gone. "I don't know what guild he's talking about but we're obviously NOT a part of it, so why should WE pay dues for gambling? Makes no sense if you ask me."

 

[Guilt Puppy]

Hearing Michelle's remark: "I think we should leave now, before anyone else has the chance to say or think something else so risky."

On the way back to the inn, Oren keeps a bit of distance from the others -- just in case someone from the table should see them. Once back at the inn, he divides the sixteen up evenly between the four of them.

"Well, at least I made back what I overpaid for lodgings." He seems far from disappointed: In fact, rather giddy.

"Say, Michelle, you know any of that mind-reading stuff? Or how to stop it, or at least know it's happening? Really seems to kill the whole sport of it."

Kerith, figuring that he and Michelle have been "made" by the cowled man already, has no trouble walking at Michelle's side on the way back to the inn, impressions be damned.

Once at the inn, Kerith accepts his 5 gold. "With what I have left, that should get me a couple more healing potions. Say, I know nothing about Olidamarra. Is she a good goddess?"

Depending on whether night has fallen or not, Kerith will then take his money, seek out a temple, preferably of Pelor, and buy two more CLW potions, three if he has enough to pay or trade for them. If it seems too late to walk through the streets of an unfamiliar city at night, he'll wait until morning to do so.

Michelle thinks Kerith is bad at math b/c 16 divided four ways is FOUR each, not 5. After explaining this and collecting her 4 pieces of gold, she responds to the question "I'm not exactly the most knowledgeable about mind reading, I didn't even know people could DO that!"

 

[Imerak]

After finishing his performance, Foran joins the others at the inn and accepts his 4gp.

"Olidammarra? God of rogues, if I'm not mistaken. As for mind-reading, I've heard nothing of the sort either."

 

[dpdx]

"Oh, begging your pardon!" Kerith gasps as he returns 1 gold to the collective pool. "I forgot all about how many of us there were!"

Looking at Foran, "I'm terribly sorry - I forgot all about you. Without you, I'm sure Oren would not have collected as much as he did."

"God of rogues, huh? I guess we're pretty ungodly up in Fifechester, then." Kerith permits himself to laugh a little at this.

 

[Guilt Puppy]

"Can't say much about Olidamarra, except that he's not a she, and some folk like to blame him when they can't track their own hand."

He kicks off his shoes, preparing to lay down for a while.

"But since I am keeping track of our hand, I think it would be wise to set off tomorrow... Just get some rations and move, you know? We do have business to attend to, after all, and I get the feeling we're not nearly scoundrelous enough to last long in this town."

Pausing in case of dissent, he continues: "By the way, how far are we from that Keep at this point? Anyone remember?"

 

[dpdx]

"From here? Well, my understanding was, five days if by land, three if by sea, and His Excellence recommends we go in by the sea entrance, so as to get the jump on anything that might be squatting there when we arrive."

Presuming the others are back at the inn, as well, Kerith will say the following:

"Norynth? Grimbard? Anyone? Since we're setting out at first light, would you like to accompany me to somewhere we could buy healing potions? I'd like to have as many as I can for when we arrive at the Keep, and since we seem to be setting out on the morrow at first light, I probably won't get another chance..."


[Do we have even a general layout of Ambroi available?]

 

[Jemal]

"Uh, if we're heading in by Sea, then shouldn't we find out where the nearest, relatively cheap, place is to charter a boat? Or are we going to continue walking?" Michelle looks around as if she's the only one whos thought of it.
