Rhun's I6: Ravenloft - IC Thread

OOC: Though I am curious as to the actual 'letter'.. so far all we've seen is that picture of the seal, and no word on even what language the letter is, yet at least two players have posted being unable to read it.. Did I miss an update where we were told we couldn't read it?


OOC: Nope, no such update. I haven't posted the contents of the letter yet. But I plan on posting that tonight. :)

OOC: No, actually, I was taking it from you I just wrote the wrong name. My bad ;)
 

Kay'el takes the letter from Donner to examine it. The words are written in the common tongue of Ailioth, a trade language spoken in most of the more civilized areas of the continent. The handwritten script is flowing and beautiful; the elf is quite certain that it was either written by a nobleman, or perhaps even an elf. Humans, unless of high social standing, rarely spent the time and effort to write in such an elaborate style. Kay'el begins to read:

"Hail to thee of might and valor:

I, a lowly servant of the township of Barovia, send honor to thee. We plead for thy so desperately needed assistance within our community.

The love of my life, the beautiful Ireena Kolyana, has been afflicted with an evil so deadly that even the good people of our town cannot protect her. She languishes from her wounds and I would have her saved from this menace.

There is much wealth in this community. I offer all that might be had to thee and thy fellows if thou shalt but answer my desperate plea.

Come quickly, for her time is at hand. All that I have shall be thine!

Kolyan Indrirovich
Burgomater, Township of Barovia"

OOC: Sorry Queenie...I gave Kay'el first dibs at reading the letter. You were writing your response at the same time I was writing. :)
 

[sblock=OCC] Actually Donner broke the seal, but just didn't read it correctly. :p But he would have taken the Explosive Ruins for yah. [/sblock]

Wow, that was quick! We must be more popular and powerful then I thought!

"Or more feared. It is rather odd that this came so soon. And from such a distance. If it was a six hour march, and we have only been here for 2, the courier must have been sent long ago. So either we were being watched on the road. Or the gypsy merely picked us out of the crowd as the most capable in his estimation, and not us specifically" surmises Kyranvik.

OOC: Fixed post above.
 

"Whatever the case, we should discuss this further - and preferably in some place a bit more private." Kay'el signals those companions who aren't seated at the table to join them, handing the letter on to the next person who wishes to inspect it.

"We have adventure, the promise of wealth, and the opportunity to reunite loved ones, weighed against the possibilities of danger or even the fact that this may be a trap. I suggest we make use of the messenger's offer of drinks, it may be a long night."
 

"Yes, drinking will help us make an intelligent decision. Not that I am complaining..." she said as she finishes her ale. "I don't think we need to discuss it too much... someone needs help and we should provide it because we can. Compensation is just a bonus. So we enjoy tonight," she raises her glass in toast, "And tomorrow we get back on the road. But let's pray to the gods of nature that it's not still raining!"

"Devil you say," says Delkat as he follows the Captain's gaze.

After the gypsy has left, Delkat continues,"Well, what do you make of that?"

He awaits the reaction of the Captain.

Once he hears what the Captain has to say, he thanks him and stands up and walks over to the table where the letter resides.
