The Bold Adventures of Poins--On the Town

[Ranger Rick]

A slight whisper may be heard from Alan, "fighting in foriegn lands."

 

[Rhialto]

Kaspar glances over at Alan, clearly startled. "Well, not for a while, lad! First, we need to get to camp..."

Kaspar glances over at Alan, clearly startled. "Well, not for a while, lad! First, we need to get to camp..."

Weel slugs back his own drink. He's still not sure what response his own unacknowledged ties to foreign soil might engender, but he also figures he's had quite enough hit him for one day.

"Camp we'll see tomorrow, yes? First, I've yet to pay my respects to my family, and I'm sure they'll have plenty to say about today's decisions. Since I'd hate to be late on my first day in the service of revolution, I think I'll face my familial obligations now."

Weel plops his money for the drink on the table*, then stands, nodding his head again to the three recruiters and the two other local recruits.

"My thanks for answering questions, sirs. I'm sure there will be more in the morning when we meet again in the square. Until then."

Head reeling from the information of his unexpectedly eventful first day home in years--and maybe also reeling a little from the drink--Weel heads off to break the news of his much-shorter-than-intended visit to his parents and try to get some rest before the group heads out the next day.

*[OOC: Checked the online SRD, and it looks like regular drinks only cost a couple coppers, so I'm just going to assume those stray silver and coppers I had went to incidentals like the drinks and such this day / evening and start out with the even 25 gold for the trip, unless you want me to deduct a specific amount?]

Caradoc rises with a sigh. "I think you've got the right idea, my friend. I'll be needing to explain to my father why he'll be short-handed for a while, as well as preparing some necessities to take along."

Hmm. I wonder if I might convince Father to allow me part of the Inspector's payment as an advance on my pay? he wonders, feeling the coins shift as he stands.

Kaspar glances over at Alan, clearly startled. "Well, not for a while, lad! First, we need to get to camp..."

As if it was even possible, Alan's eyes opened even wider, than his cheeks turned a pale shade of pink. "Getting to camp sounds like a lovely idea."

"Ritter Helm Sadric, a rider of Syra, and brother to all men of courage," says the man, eyeing Graeval warily. "And it is foolishness to wish to see a usurper overthrown, and your land free? If so, I say--we need more fools."

"The foolishness is thinking that a few farmers and townspeople, which is all that you'll find here, can be a threat to the armies of the Emperor, whether you consider him a usurper or not.
"Where are your armies, Ritter Helm Sadric? Show me that force and I may agree to join you."

Helm seems to control his anger and frustration--but just barely. "You wish to see our armies, Nibelung? Very well! Come with me, and I'll show them to you! Then you can decide whether or not we're a force to challenge the Emperor!"

OOC: That'll be fine.

IC:

Weel's parents are overjoyed to seem him, and take his announcement that he's going to join the Army of the True Emperor with a mixture of pride and trepidition.

Weel, for his part, feels much the same way. He does his best to assure them he'll take care of himself, though. And lost district or no, he knows Thraunos is a vigilant supervisor.

Then Weel tries to make the most of his short time to catch up with his folks, mostly while doing what handy tasks he might around the place. Fixing things was always something that eased his mind. And when they've finally exhausted themselves with tinkering and talking, he cleans up (Thraunos be praised for a hot bath!) and goes to bed.

It's difficult to fall asleep with so many possible dangers suddenly available in Weel's life, but the presence of his quarterstaff and Phandros' gifted mace propped against the wall within easy reach help provide a limited sense of security.

Alan eagerly asks, "oh can I join in the inspection of the troops with you?"
