Q'Barra: Facing Truth

[Yeoman]

Catherine is sitting back, while she converses with the rest of the party, after finishing her food. Upon seeing John head on out, she motions to the rest of the group. "I think that's our cue."

 

[Rolzup]

Catherine smiled over at the others, "I hope no one minds, but when John asked, I just said I was in command here."

Darrick laughs aloud at this. "It eased my mind, that's for certain. Captain," he adds, with a wink.

He sobers quickly, though, looking over the quiet room. "This feels very wrong, doesn't it? This is hardly the welcome that the Headmaster told us to expect...."

"Indeed," Darrick murmmurs, pushing himself to his feet. "Shall we, then?" Smiling genially, and nodding cheerfully at any townsfolk who catch his eye, he follows master John.

Catherine nods, "I agree. The whole thing is a mess." She looks thoughtful for a moment, before smirking back at Darrick, "Captain, eh? I think I like that. Thanks, Lieutenant."

 

[Rookseye]

Sepoto looks up from where he absentmindedly had been spinning the potato that Charles tossed to him and glances from Catherine to Darrick as they speak. He watches John Kassel leave the common-room with a suspcious eye before speaking.

"Which of these house-huts are we to meet him at, Catherine?"

 

[Yeoman]

"Which of these house-huts are we to meet him at, Catherine?"

"It's the first house to the right of this hall. Let's head on over there."

 

[BRP2]

Charles hears Catherine's words. He finishes what's left on his plate in a matter of seconds, stands ups, stretches, and nods at Catherine.

His mouth is still filled with food when he says:Re'dy.

 

[Pebele]

Some of the villagers smile and nodded in greeting to the group, some just ignore them completely. No one seems hostile or unwelcoming, which the group takes as a positive sign.

John Kassel's house is one of the larger ones in the settlement. It is quite modest and simple, it is obvious that Kassel is a believer in function over form. When the group makes their way inside, they find Kassel sitting at a table in the front room of the house. There are eight chairs in total around the table.

There is very little in the way of decoration in the house, but before anyone has much time to look around, Kassel looks to the group and gestures to the chairs.

"Please, have a seat. I, uh, I'm sure there's some explaining I need to do. I knew this wasn't going to go according to plan as soon as those blasted 'Forged showed up for the kids. We were hoping for people, people who'd help us. Not machines, machines with their logic and rules and..." Kassel's voice trailed off, then he looked specifically to Trebuchet, "Ah, sorry. It just didn't go like we hoped."

 

[Shayuri]

"I assure you, sir," Trebuchet asserts without rancor, "My presence here is strictly in my capacity to unleash copious volumes of arcane devastation; not to impose any degree of rules or law upon you. Unless a situation requiring my talents comes up, you may proceed as if I were not here."

Kaelan

Kaelan doesn't sit, instead leaning against one of the walls, across from a window if possible, looking outside for possible threats. He is listening intently though, and the comments about warforged peaked his interest. "Continue..." he says, maybe a little bit coldly.

 

[BRP2]

Charles takes a seat and cups his half his face into his palm, awaiting Kassel to continue.
