Spheres of Influence:Rhiannon in Jepardy? GAME

[Gwaihir]

Relsyn

Relsyn rises early, dresses in his travelling outfit, carefully packs away his belongings and attends morning prayers. His thoughts and meditations are highly distracted as he ponders the adventure ahead.

"what if we can't find the staff?"
"can we find the right one?"
"where would the gem be?"
"what if we have to fight?"
"what about repercussions?"
"what if we find the right staff but can't prove it?"

With these questions and many others left unresolved, Relsyn, leaves the Cathedral Of St Macedone, collects Jewel from a nearby tree and makes his way to the Mitre Inn.

"Greetings to you all," He says as he joins Airith & Inwe at the table. "Everyone rest well?"

Airith

"Good morning Relsyn, yes I did sleep well. Thanks for asking. Please help yourself to something." Motions to the small spread on the table and then pours some tea for everybody. "Has anyone given any thought as to how we are getting to Malta? By ship is definitely the fastest but also has a price." Airith gives his tea a gentle blow to cool it down and takes a small sip.

 

[Tinuviel]

Inwe

"I also had good rest and the refreshment of elvish song." Inwe reaches for some bread with cinammon, bacon and a large green apple with thanks to Airith. She picks up her tea, but before drinking asks, "What are our choices for travel? By ship or by foot? And I'm sure there are good and bad aspects of any choice." Breathing in the steam from the hot tea, she takes a sip, then begins to eat.

Wrinkle Waybright

Wrinkle comes down the stairs and whistles to Kaydar. When Kaydar finsishes pouring some juice for another customer, he comes over to Wrinkle. "Well, it's been great having you here again. Thanks for playing your -whatsit- last night, the customers really love it!"

Wrinkle pays his account at the inn and then comes over to the table and gives a friendly salute to everone. When Inwe is done speaking, he pulls out his instrument and plays a snippet of a well known traveling tune and then says "moorrrning aaaal" with a smile.

He pulls out a pencil and paper, and writes

Airith

Airith takes a look at the note Wrinkle is writing, then adds, "Well Wrinkle, you can add cost to the con side of sea but time saved to the pro. I suppose you could also add the reverse to the land." Airith sets down a small bowl of water for Smoke. "If the group was a little smaller I think there would be a couple of bargain spots aboard a ship, but with the size group we have we would probably have to pay top dollar."

"I was thinking about this last night before I fell asleep. We could look at maybe joining a trading caravan to Malta. We could be hired on to protect the shipment and what not. I know there is a major trade route between the two cities, so finding a caravan probably wouldn't be to hard and we might be able to make a little scratch on the journey. The only down side is that this may take a little longer than just traveling on our own due to the stops the caravan would make along the way."

 

[Tinuviel]

Inwe

"Do we really have need to hurry? I wouldn't think a caravan would take too much longer than going on our own. Finding one to join with sounds the best to me so far."

Wrinkle erases a little and then writes

Airith

"Well then, shall we make are way to the trading area. Probably a good time to see if any of the caravans are heading to Malta. Later in the day the place will be very busy." Airith scraps the last of rice rice pudding from his bowl and picks up the dishes he set down for Smoke. "Hopefully we get lucky and there will be a caravan leaving today." He drinks the last of his tea.

 

[Tinuviel]

Inwe

"Sounds all right to me." Inwe finishes her bread and tea, then hands the apple core and remaining piece of bacon down to Cildar. The remaining 4 apples and bread she wraps in a small piece of cloth to pack away for later.

Wrinkle

Wrinkle nods in agreement and puts the paper back in his pack. He looks at Inwe as she puts the food into he bag, wondering why she would cover her gear with pudding and eggs, but says nothing (he can not anyway).
