Planescape: A Hopeless Beginning

Eclaiyan

"Well, let's get started then. No time like the present!"

Eclaiyan pushes his back off the wall and begins to walk towards the door, checking back over his shoulder to see if anyone is following.

He adds, "Elandra, I hope your offer will still be standing when we return?"

 

[Eluvan]

Elandra nods. "Yes, of course. Well, so long as you haven't been making other alliances that might go against our interests here, anyway. I mean... I'd like to trust you completely, but fact is I don't know you and so I'd be pretty addle-coved to do that without making sure of myself." There is more than a hint of sadness in her last words, and as she finishes she finishes the last of her tea and, over the cup, her eyes flicker across the group members and plainly take in, with little real surprise, the absence of Vaerhia. She says nothing more.

 

[JimAde]

Krikit rises and bows deeply to Elandra with his right hand on his heart. "You can rest assured, my lady, that you have my sincere gratitude and affection. I will keep your desires in mind at all times in dealings here." He turns on his heel and follows Eclaiyan.

Minala, girl with tusks

Minala pushes herself away from the wall with grunt.

"I thought that they would never stop talking," she mutters under her breath. After a moment she adds, "Suppose. She does seem nice enough.

At the door she pauses to add her thanks to those of the others. She talks to her feet mostly, and her head ducks nervously as she speaks. She mumbles so badly its hard to say exactly what she did say.

She follows the others out of the room, ducking automatically as she passes through the door.

 

[Scotley]

Wyk

Wyk rises with the others, "Lady, you made mention of some basic equipment we might borrow earlier. Is that offer still open?"

 

[Eluvan]

"You'll be able to borrow some basics from our armoury here - foe what that's worth, it's not exactly big - if you take the job, or if you're otherwise doing something we want to support. Sorry, but I'm not going to hand out arms to you without knowing for sure as to what you're going to be doing with them. Anyway, unless I'm way off the mark you cutters know pretty well how to handle yourselves. You shouldn't have any real problems with the locals, so long as you don't go picking fights."

Eclaiyan

Eclaiyan opens the door and strides out, glancing up to check the weather as he goes. He looks around once he's clear of the door to provide the other's plenty of room to get out, looking for anything of note, such as direction of crowds or any major establishments.

 

[doghead]

Minala, girl with tusks

Minala is not surprised. In her experience, no one ever gave anyone something for nothing. And anyone who did wanted something, they jus' wasn't telling yet.

But still somewhat overawed by the company she has found herself in, Minala keeps her thoughts between herself and Kandeen.

 

[Goddess FallenAngel]

Dainan's eyes flicker almost imperceptibly to the guards on either side of him, and then look significantly back at Vaerhia. "Ah, my apologies for leading you to trouble yourself like this. I merely would have liked to have a less constrained conversation with you, it was not that there was anything else in particular."

Vaerhia nods and smiles almost apologetically. "My apologies to you for disturbing you - I don't wish to hold you up." She sighs dramatically. "It is a pity that we couldn't have had a more... congenial meeting. I thank you for delivering your message, and wish you a good day, Envoy Dainan."

Even as she speaks, she uses her innate ability to project her thoughts to the envoy's mind. The guards – yes, unfortunately I can do little against them here and now, although it would be child’s play to cloud their minds at any other time. Her mental voice is rife with dark humor. But it matters not. Perhaps we could meet, say, a short time hence at a location more neutral and conductive for discussion?

 

[Eluvan]

Dainan bows deeply once more. "Indeed, a great shame. I hope that you may accept my master's invitation, and perhaps we can talk at more length. Good day for now, and whatever happens I hope your stay in Hopeless is a pleasant one." As he speaks, then turns and allows himself to be escorted from the premises, he sends a simple reply to Vaerhia over the telepathic link she has established. That would be ideal. There is a tavern - the Spat Tooth - near here. We will attract little attention there. Go to the end of this street, turn right, and it lies perhaps fifty yards further, on your left. I will meet you there in fifteen minutes.

As he starts to walk away, near the end of his message, Vaerhia hears that the group seems to be exiting the room in which they were talking to Elandra.
