(RP) Dangerous Legacy

[Vendetta]

ODO: Odo spills some wine on his shirt and excuses himself from the ladies. He gets a towel from a nearby waiter, walks a short distance and grumbly wipes off his shirt.
Spoiler: [sblock] Listening carefully as he approached the two elves, Odo overhears...

"... I swear I will!" Curses the elf in the flowing robes.

The Ambassador replies, much more calmly, "No. We must not show that kind of aggression or none of them will come to our aid. We dare not attempt to take on the Dragon Children of the Daemon Lord ourselves. Thel'Luthia cannot fight that battle."

"They must be made to understand. If they cannot see it, we must show them." The elf in the flowing robes growls through gritted teeth, putting special emphesis on the word "show".

"Chancellor Lleiber, we cannot act with threat or force in this." The ambassador says calmly again.

"And what if they decide against taking action?" Lleiber replies tartly.

"We will at the least have the humans with us. King Promus would not have gathered all here if he did not see this great danger and the peril of not acting." The ambassador says, patting the other elf on the shoulder then walking away to talk to someone else.[/sblock]

Liam sighs and shrugs at the departing noble lady. He nods his greetings to Sel'Tarien across the graden, but says nothing and soon returns to his own thoughts.

[sblock]Not much you can do when someone doesn't want your help. Still it bothered him to see anyone so sad and be unable to help. Feeling useless, he wanders aimlessly in the garden for a moment or two before deciding on a course of action. Having made sure Lady Asta has had time to effect her escape, he then returns to the party. In an effort to feel like he is doing something productive he attempts to spot the armed ambassador he noticed earlier and keep an eye on the dwarf.[/sblock]

 

[Tor L'Tha]

Rak notices Sonrik not too far away, with Kale nearby to him. Opposite them, Odo stands with several human women. Jaeden is not too far away from Odo, also talking with a couple of human women. Closest however, is Krueger, who is draining a tankard of ale and talking and laughing with some fellow dwarves

Rak goes over to Sonrik and looks at him trying to capt his attention or waits to he finish to talk with the man from Tenthar, as he heard when he approached them «Sonrik I need a word with you» he says quietly, trying not to interrupt Sonrik's, as far as he can tell, important conversation «You tell me when you got a second...»

"Yes, Rak." Sonrik says, "You'd not believe it, this man is from Tenthar, not far from our own Tev'El Rhoe. What did you say your name is, sir?"

He turns again to Rak, and looking back again says,"Excuse me, I'd like to speak to you again, sir. I feel that the right person should learn what other news we have of the west." He lingers for a moment to see if the man gives him any advice, and then turns to He'Rak. He puts his hand on his shoulder as he turns away from the others, saying, "I'm listening."

“From home?” “very nice to meet you Mr...” he says giving the man a second to answer his question. He bows to the stranger and follows Sonrik.


As they take some steps away from listeners “I was standing on the balcony just looking around” he starts saying “and i noticed something that was disturbing the royal guard” “they where passing a message man to man and looking worried as the message whent on” "I tried to speak with a young soldier, but i couldn't get any useful information” ... “well now that i think more bout his words... he said something about the gnomes ans seeming a bit ofended of their late arrival” “I dont think one thing has something to do with the other” “but all soldiers where looking with distrust someone in the ball room” He looks around after guards or other persons that could be listening, afraid to ofend someone with his gossip about the king “the King is very angry also” “I saw him red in the face and talking about his niece being raised by the madman” ... “One thing is sure, something is going on tonight and it's probably politics...”

Unsure how to properly act, Sel'Tarien smiles back, awkwardly, and bows his head a little as Lady Asta walks by. Then he joins Liam. "It seems you know Lady Asta?" he asks. "I think there is something going on... a guard slipped out of the room after another man whispered something to him. Do you have any idea?"

Odo tosses down the towel, frustrated with the small stain on his shirt, grabs another glass of wine from another waiter and gulps half of it down. Seems this Lleiber character has some anger management issues. What is he hoping to force?

Taking his chances, Odo begins to talk loudly, as if flustered over more than spilled wine, "Never going to get anything done! These damned folk don't know how to act, only the elves have it right. They at least know what's at stake."

He walks past the Chancellor, accidentally bumping him, "sorry," he blurts out as he moves to pass, pauses and turns back to Lleiber, "much excused, sir. I did not mean to jostle you, but these people have me all worked up. The stakes at hand, and they don't even see it! Only your people seem to understand it."

Liam looks a little distracted as he passes Sel'Tarien.

"Hmm, no. . . I just met her. . ."

Then the second comment registers with him.

"You may be on to something. I also noticed some strange behavior here this evening. I was just going in to look in on mine. Why don't you have a look around some more and see what you can see. Oh, and it seems not everyone is as unarmed as they are supposed to be. Keep an eye out."

LIAM and SEL’TARIEN: Liam reenters the ball room with Sel and they meander through the crowd.
Liam Spoiler: [sblock]It is not hard to spot the dwarven ambassador in the crowd as he is surrounded by several other dwarves. He is currently talking to a human Royal Guard amid the other dwarves who are pretending to be talking among themselves but you can tell they are trying their best to listen in on the conversation. In a hushed voice, you tell Sel about the ambassador’s dagger.[/sblock]
Sel’Tarien Spoiler: [sblock]Liam tells you in a very hushed voice that he noticed the dwarven ambassador carrying a dagger. You also now notice that several of the Royal Guards are moving through the crowd and whispering something to each other as if passing a message on.[/sblock]


SONRIK and HE’RAK: The man from Tenthar introduces himself as Overseer Thadius Rolle and apologizes for not introducing himself earlier. He happily bows out of the conversation so Rak and Sonrik can speak together.

To the best of Rak’s knowledge, no one is trying to overhear their conversation.

ODO:

Taking his chances, Odo begins to talk loudly, as if flustered over more than spilled wine, "Never going to get anything done! These damned folk don't know how to act, only the elves have it right. They at least know what's at stake."

The Halfling moves near the tall elf with the flowing robes.
Spoiler: [sblock] “Do I know you?” The chancellor asks skeptically at first, then looks around the room. “Far too much is at stake. The whole of Enber is in danger. I know, I was there… I was one of the precious few who survived the Dragon’s assault on beautiful Thel’Lorean. Some of these fools don’t even believe that it is truth! The outrage!” The chancellor seems on the precipice of falling into a long winded rant.[/sblock]

 

[taitzu52]

He'Rak & Kale
[sblock]"Yes, I can see them now. I wonder what they're passing along?" Sonrik says as he looks around the room at the guards. "I don't know who the Vizer is, but he suggested something that the King seemed to think was paramount to treason. Many things are about to take place. Be on your guard."[/sblock]
Sonrik continues to show off his winning smile, and try to make conversation with yet another dignitary in much the same way he had approached Overseer Rolle.
