Q'Barra: Facing Truth

[Pebele]

For the group at the Inn, the night passes uneventfully.

John Kassel retired to his bedroom shortly after the group left, leaving Trebuchet to keep watch. Once, in the middle of the night, Trebuchet was sure that he had seen a figure moving around the perimeter of the house, but when he moved to take a closer look he could find nothing. At any rate, no one made any moves on the house itself.

Sepoto slept soundly through the night.

When morning comes, John Kassel meets Trebuchet in the main room. "We should head to the Inn to see your friends and grab some food. They should head out this morning, whether they're going to try to talk to the lizards or if they're just gonna head after the Children."

It seems Kassel is in a hurry, because he doesn't wait for Trebuchet to respond, he heads out the door and towards the Inn.

Inside the Inn, Gilda Cooper knocks on the doors to the rooms the group occupies. "Breakfast is on! Get it while it's hot!"

Catherine yawns deeply, then covers her mouth. "Ah, sorry about that. Well I'm famished, so let's eat and figure out where we're going today. Ok?" Catherine heads downstairs.

Darrick decends the stairs with a clatter, helmet under his arm, and cheerfully salutes Catherine. "Sounds like an excellent plan, Captain," he responds in a cheerful tone.

With a yawn, Kaelan wakes up. I'm almost disappointed that nothing woke me during the night, he thinks. Perhaps our vigilant friends prevented any conflicts for the moment...or maybe they want us all together so they can strike us all at once. No matter, they will not stand long before us. We are a formidable group and shouldn't be underestimated. Kaelan then goes downstairs to get his fill of breakfast to make sure he is energized for the events of the day, whatever they be.

Sepoto noisily chews the remainder of the mango he had been eating, and then discards the rind by tossing it from the tree as far as he can into the undergrowth surrounding the village.

Perhaps a tree will grow there some day, and the children of Havenwood will have mangos...

Without a thought, the shifter wipes his sticky hands upon his already mud-encrusted fur, and inhales his own scent deeply.

Perhaps it is time to bathe soon. When was the last time? He found himself hoping there would be a stream or a portion of the river on the next leg of their trek into the wilds. Master Othos always said, "when you can't remember the last time you bathed; it is the the time to bathe". It wouldn't do to have the poison dusk scenting him seven miles down the trail.

When Sepoto noticed Kassel and the warforged exiting the small house-hut below, all thoughts of the bath were forgotten. He had slept well, and was in better spirits. The nervousness of yesterday seemed to have passed somewhat, though he couldn't exactly figure out why. As the bright gleam of the sun passed over Trebuchet's head, reflecting back into his eyes, Sepoto bounded from the tree, dancing over the branches before landing at Kassel's feet and causing him to start momentarily. The warforged remained impassive.

"Oho, Trenchbucket, Mr. Kassel! Are we now off to the inn?"

 

[Shayuri]

Trebuchet accompanies Kessel out of his house without a dissenting word. When Sepoto joins him, he nods stiffly and says, "Good morning! Nothing interrupted your period of vulnerability?"

 

[Pebele]

When Sepoto jumped out in front of him, John Kassel was quite startled. "By the Host! Don't you know I'm an old man, boy? I can't take being startled like that! I got enough to worry about, I don't need people jumping out of trees at me.

We're going to the Inn for breakfast and to meet with the rest of your group. I hope they finalized their plans, so we can get this thing started soon. The longer you all are here, the more worried I get."

Kassel, Trebuchet and Sepoto arrived at the Inn in short order, and Kassel sat down with the group to a meal of fruit and biscuits. The food wasn't fancy, but it was quite tasty, and Gilda Cooper kept their water glasses full.

"Now, what can I do to help with your plan? If it's in my power, I will do whatever I can. But I must ask that you decide soon. I got a bad feeling in my bones that we don't have much time."

"Now, what can I do to help with your plan? If it's in my power, I will do whatever I can. But I must ask that you decide soon. I got a bad feeling in my bones that we don't have much time."

"You can give us directions," Darrick suggests. "We need to know where the Poison Dusk settlement is, so that we can head in that direction when we leave. Beyond that, well, I think that we're all best off if we can leave you out of this as much as possible."

 

[Yeoman]

"I agree whole heartedly. The sooner we move out, the sooner we can put this matter to rest."

Charles is last to wake up and does so with no haste. At first, he though he was still at the academy, thinking of what he would do for that day. The moment he lifted his head, he was very disoriented, as nothing seemed familiar. Oh yeah...

He quickly gets ready and joins the group, with an grin on his face. He rested well and is quick to say it.
