The Four Lands - The Colony

[J. Alexander]

The Commission

"So we have an agreement then" the man says and the motions for a clerk to come forward. The clerk then set's before each of the party an outline of the agreement. "If you will just initial here we will have the formal documents drawn up in a day or to at which time they can be siged and sealed by the involved parties"

When the party has signed he says "Much has been discussed and reviewed this evening...I propose we adjourn for three days durning which time you can form your plans and lists of equipment and people you will like to recruit. When we rejoin, you will be introduced to your council counterparts. Any questions"

Hennett

"One moment, Sir. Since I appear to be the only one who did not accept a patent of nobility, I will make it unanimous and ask for the patent tied to the colony. And I also ask for two additional patents for Baronets as well."

 

[Scotley]

Alvar

"No questions at this time." He turns to the others, "I'd be pleased to work with any of you on this. Just drop by my room."

OOC: Or send me an email. However, I will be out of touch until Saturday.

Randal Lucius Stormweaver

Might I suggest a fine inn we might gather over fine dinner and discreet music in environment suited for business deals and discuss everything let's say, tomorrow after sundown? There is an inn, Blazing Tabard, that is known to me with all those qualities...

 

[Dracomeander]

Conrad Ironstar (Four Lands - Colony)

"Yes, yes. I am in as well. I will take my patent tied to the Colony and an additional baronet as well."

Conrad looks over at Pandak and smiles briefly at the younger dwarf's enthusiam.

Hennett

"You mention dinner tomorrow evening very casually, since we have not been permitted to leave this building and its grounds for quite a length of time now. Are we again granted our full liberty with no compensation, not even so much as a 'thank you' for our lost time??"

Randal Lucius Stormweaver, The Historian

Hennet, we all agreed, in general, to their terms. Secrecy is in our interest too. As for compensation, I believe I'll take this envelope we were offered as compensation. There is no valid reason for them to hold us for any longer. We proved we won't kill each other in cramped quarters and we need to start our preparations.

I, for one, can't wait to see the lights of the city again.

Randal quirks an eyebrow at the council seated across as he speaks.

OOC: envelope contains 2500 GOLD pieces not SILVER pieces, right?

 

[Leif]

Hennett

Hennett is just being his usual, moody self when he says, "You missed my point, Randal. Yes, we have been generously compensated monetarily, but is our time, our liberty, able to be so casually purchased? Do we not merit a little more respect? I am not suggesting that we do anything but what we have all agreed to do, but I would have us take more care to future dealings with these Powers That Be, because there will surely be more. We have allowed them to establish a precedent that they may treat us as they wish, for as long as they wish, and we will quietly acquiesce. But, we are to be nobility after this. I just wonder how we will fare...."

 

[Neurotic]

Randal Lucius Stormweaver

Yes, Hennet, I know, but if anyone of us had anything better to do, I believe he would be doing it already and nothing in this or any other house could hold him against his will, right? Even you, professing how you miss your wilderness, waited this out to see what befalls.

Now our curiosity has been satisfied, we took yet another challenge in our lives and better future awaits.

And I'm sure these gentlemen had more information on us and rightly guessed we will sit it out before they 'invited' us in. And further, I doubt they would make the mistake of underestimating any of us individually and, even more so, as a group.

I agree, it was frustrating experience, but look at it this way. You made some new acquaintances if not outright friends.

Hennett

"Alas! I doubt if I shall ever see my home again! Oh, well, we shall have a new home to explore, I only hope that we have obtained a good land."
