The shifter smiles back. Then she glances around to see if anyone is watching. "It is actually a House Cannith matter. It is something that I will deliver to Lady Elaydren, personally."

Zane smiles and replies “There is no need to apologize Sire Pohl, it is quite true that I have spent most of my life studying the arcane. While I still have a spell or two remaining, it would do us little good if we ran into any additional hostile forces. Resting for a day to recover my arcane energy and Lady Tai’s divine powers is an excellent idea. Now can you suggest a comfortable yet cheap inn or near by tavern? My funds are not yet exhausted. Where should we meet in the morning? Maybe we could have dinner together and make any additional plans that we might wish to make” this last remark he adds to no one in particular as he tries to avoid looking at Tai when he says it and tries to keep any redness to appear on his face

( hehe)

The halfling accepts Pohl generous offer without saying a word. He quickly puts the gold coins in a relatively large leather bag hangning on the side of his belt. "Thanks Sir Pohl, you and your friends will always be welcomed in my house"

He then leads them up the stairs and finally outside is appartement. As Gretchen, who is leaving the appartement last, exit the halfling closes the door and all can hear the sound of a lock being set.

'It is actually a House Cannith matter. It is something that I will deliver to Lady Elaydren, personally.'

When Gretchen responds to his question, Pohl can get a definite sense that she's either hiding something or not being completely honest. His eyes narrow at her and he glances at Marcela and Tai to see if they are taking her at her word. Unless they deliberately hide their emotions to let the shifter have her lie... Pohl can tell from their reactions that they don't think she's telling 100% of the truth either.

'Lady Elaydren? Um... Gretchen please pardon my questioning... but at no time in Master Tellarr's home did we ever mention we were working for House Cannith. Why would Tellarr just randomly hand you a note that is going to the Lady of the House? You never said you were under her employ... we never said we were under her employ... and to top it off, if he really wanted you to pass on a note to the House, why would he go through the effort to hide the fact he was passing the note on? I only lucked out in seeing him pass it on to you, and you then went immediately into the restroom.'

He takes a step towards the young woman and his hands move to his hips.

'This duty we have been given is not "every-man-for-himself". We are a team here, which means we have to be completely comfortable in putting our lives into each other's hands. We've already done you the service of bringing you back from the brink of death... the least you could do is be honest with us in what that note said. I know I won't feel comfortable taking you back down into the sewers if I do not feel I can trust you, and I suspect neither with Tai or Marcela. So once again, I am asking if you could please tell us what the halfling wrote to you that was so important that it couldn't be said in our presence?'

Grechen : Female Shifter Rogue 1

"Well! I am going to see Lady Elaydren right now. If you wish to accompany me you are welcome to. I have been working for House Cannith for a while now. Or did you forget that. I plan on giving the note to Lady Elaydren, personally. You three have been hired by House Cannith to do a job. I already have been working for House Cannith. Do you think it a coincidence that someone from the house is on this mission? Think about it." She places her hands on her hips in a casual stance.

(OOC - first Pohl, now Zane... I'm not sure if Tai should be flattered or frightened!)

Tai will watch the exchange between Pohl and Grechen quietly to see how it turns out. While she, like Pohl, suspects that Grechen is hiding something, she wants to hear Grechen's side of things before drawing conclusions. She is ready to step in if things get heated.

As to plans for rest, once things are settled down Tai will ask for directions to the nearest temple or church of Boldrei, where she can probably sleep for the night. As for dinner, Tai says, "That's not such a bad idea, if we need to discuss plans. I would be at your mercy as to where to go, however."

 

[DEFCON 1]

'The coincidence isn't that a House Cannith employee is a part of this mission, Gretchen... the coincidence lies in the fact that some random halfling from House Jorasco gives you a note that is supposed to go to the leaders of House Cannith... especially since we never alerted him to the fact that House Cannith is whom we were working for.'

He raises his chin in a slight air of defiance... once again showing off his snooty, high-brow attitude he's revealed now and again.

'Yes, I think I will accompany you to see Lady Elaydren if you don't mind. My curiousity is very peaked at this point about what might possibly be in a note that Master Tellarr would write to you, when he knows nothing about who you are or who you work for. This note must be very interesting indeed.'

He turns to the other two still standing there.

'Well, as far as dinner and an inn... why don't we meet at the Broken Anvil, as that is where we met the Lady of the House this morning and it is very near the staircases back down to the sewers? Shall we say 7:00pm for supper? That will give Gretchen and myself time to speak with the Lady, and both of you time to do whatever you might want to do before we eat. As far as sleeping tonight... I'm sure the Anvil has rooms available, though I myself will return to my apartment this evening. But like last night I offer it to anyone who does not feel like paying for a room. If we do split up, then let's say we meet back at the Anvil on the morrow at about 9:00am? Sounds good?'

He then turns to face Gretchen, ready to be lead by her back to see Lady Elaydren.

 

[Guest 11456]

"Very well. And to set the record straight. I never said it was addressed to Lady Elaydren. I merely said I was taking it to her." Grechen starts heading toward the Broken Anvil.

 

[Delemental]

Tai turns to Zane as soon as Pohl and Grechen leave. "Well, I'd rather not be a part of that mess. Shall we see if two strangers to Sharn can manage to make it all the way to a tavern without getting into too much trouble?" She gives him a cheerful grin.

"And if you are in need of a place to stay, Master Marcela, I could ask the elders at the temple if there is a room for you for the night. Though I must admit that usually only clergy are allowed to stay in the temple itself. Of course, you could also take up Master D'Velderan on his offer. I'd consider it myself, but given the way he looks at me, I think that the room might not be quite as 'free' as he claims." As soon as she says this, the grin vanishes from her face, and color rushes to her cheeks, very noticable against her pale changeling skin. "I shouldn't have said that. Master D'Velderan has been more than generous and helpful with his time and money, and it's a poor thing for me to malign him behind his back. Forgive me." Tai looks genuinely embarrassed.
