Strahd's "RttToEE" CLOSED

Tonks · Oct 6, 2006

Lenuran looks up and smiles at the to the point greetings the new arrival gets. Stepping forward, the older gnome smiles up at the elf.

"So you have found us, why were you looking for us?"

"So you have found us, why were you looking for us?"

The elf is taken aback by the gnome's question, as in his mind it should be completely obvious why he was looking for them. Verbobonc's Minister of the Treasury had come to him and said "We have special court agents in Hommlet checking things out and they need more help... Archmage Bigby wants us to send you. Go find them". And with that, Ithiken hopped onto a horse and rode out here as fast as he could manage to meet up with the group... fully expecting the group to be expecting him. Apparently that is not the case.

Or else... perhaps the group are secret agents, and thus aren't allowed to say anything in public! Ah yes! That must be it! Ithiken suddenly breaks out into a wide grin and says conspiratorily "Oh! I was told there was a gentleman's club..." he taps the side of his nose as he says this... "here in town that gets together every week to discuss news of the day. And I was interested in discussing the news of the day as well." He turns and looks at the others and nods his head knowingly. "My name is Ithiken Naru, and I am a sorcerer of high standing that LOVES to discuss the news of the day!"

Korbryn Rivenshield

Hearing the elf's explanations, Korbryn glances up at his friend Miltiades and shrugs. He switches his helmet from the crook of one arm back to the other, and then looks silently back to the elf.

The Kid cocks an eyebrow and makes a this-guy-is-crazy-gesture with his right hand, his left still busy with the dagger. "Err... news, is it then. Okay. Uhm. Huh. Well, perhaps our good gnome might have something for you." The youth gives the odd elf another glance then continues his inspection of the oddities in the shop.

The Kid said:
"Err... news, is it then. Okay. Uhm. Huh. Well, perhaps our good gnome might have something for you."

Ithiken nods sagely at the human's response, then turns to the gnome in the group and smiles wide.

"So you're the gnome to see then, is it? You're the one with all the news... about what's been happening in Hommlet, eh? Well I'm glad I've finally met up with the men who know what's going on. Hope I can contribute to... the... discussions... of today's news. You know what I mean?"

He winks to the gnome and then relaxes quite a bit now that he's become more comfortable with his surroundings. He starts looking around the shop at all the cute and colorful bottles and such.

Miltiades inquisitor of Rao

Miltiades turns back to the young girl. "Thank you child. Our travels will take us out near there. We will search for him and bring him back safely if we can." Miltiades then returns his attention to the, exuberant elf. "Now then sir. Why don't we retire to some place convenient to talk. We are just arrived in town and it is always good to hear the latest news."

The Kid jokingly sneers with a twinkle in his eye. "You mean news, friend scholar."

Voadam · Oct 16, 2006

"Indeed. News."

Korbryn nods to the young girl, and then moves to follow his companions back outside of the shop.

DEFCON 1 · Oct 17, 2006

The long golden hair of the elf swishes around as he exits the shop and then immediately spins around to talk to his new friends. The grin on his face shows an excitement that only comes from the youth of inexperience.

"Sorry about all that secretive stuff in there... but I know better than to blabber on and on and on about stuff that other people have no need to know about. Master Bigby taught me all about not showing my hand when it is dealt. I'm not a big card player, so that metaphor is a little lost on me... but he seemed to think it was a wisdom worth knowing, so I'll concede the point. That's why he's the archmage and I'm just an apprentice."

He chuckles to himself and then widens his grin once more.

"So... what did the higher-ups tell you fellows? I was sort of rushed through everything so fast that I didn't really get exactly why we're here... or what we're doing... or what the point is... or what our plan is... or who I was working with... or why me... or how best to do... whatever it is... we're supposed to be doing. It was just lucky that I found you guys though. I only had to ask about twenty-seven people through town for where I could find a group of newcomers who had just arrived and seemed to be up to something. Finally, a beggar down the street over there..." he points to a man lying in the gutter, "mentioned you guys walking past him and entering this shop. And so here I am! Ready to work on... this... thing... we're now working on.

Whew! I'm hot. Anyone else hot? And when can we stop for a bite to eat, I'm starving?!?"
