TiCaudata's Mish Mash Campaign

[Dichotomy]

[sblock=Ti & m_n][sblock=OOC]Did you want us to respond in sblocks?[/sblock]Angrod quickly starts and glances at Logan. The elf has a nearly paranoid look on his face. Without a word, he joins Logan in trying to get a listen. Angrod also sneaks as closely as he possibly can without likely being seen, hoping to catch a glimpse of the visitor.[sblock=OOC]Hide and Move Silently both at +8; Listen and Spot both at +6; Sense Motive (once peeps start talking, if needed) at +4.[/sblock][/sblock]

[sblock=oc]you don't get to make pithy comments on posting frequency until you learn to post more often than once every 3 days.[/sblock]

[sblock=DI&MN][sblock=oc]that was my thought yeah[/sblock]Angrod and Logan move out into the hallway. They cannot make out much more than two voices (one is the sage) talk about trade routes. Angrod closes in for a closer listen and hears the two men appear to agree to offer some previous plan to someone, before the sage testily says he's going back to his bed.[sblock=oc]yeah yeah yeah that took way too long to come up with, but I thought I sent it out on saturday...[/sblock][/sblock]

[sblock=Ti & m_n]After the conversation ends (and the visitor presumably leaves), Angrod skirts back to Logan and nods to their room.

Once back inside, the elf shrugs. "Nuttin' too int'resting. They'parently had some arrangement already. Gotta deal they're offerin' someone. Eh. I was hopin' for some clandestine intrigue kinda thing."[/sblock]

[sblock=yep]"I was... more worried," whispers the dwarf. "Wonder why they talk about stuff they already figured out in the middle of the night."[/sblock]

The next morning dawns with bustle in the now full household. The sage seems grumpy, tired, and anxious all at once. Over breakfast he finally gives voice to his worries. "A man arrived last night, a damn fool of a man that decided that old news couldn't wait until daybreak, but a man none-the-less. He brings word from a contact I have further down the peninsula in a minor harbor town that a shipment that includes some interesting items is a week past when it was supposed to arrive.

If the items involved were of great value I'd believe that his worry was justified and I would go myself. However, the shipment does not warrant the cost to me of closing up my shop and traveling there and back again. I gather from the elf's impatience that you all might be interested in keeping the open road before you. I will reward you if you can find any of my boxes, my personal glyph marks them, and I'm sure your Wizard can identify them as such."

With that he looks at each member at the table questioningly.

Ava responds, "I have no other priority at the moment. I am willing to take on this quest, as long as I have some to travel with."

Logan looks back and forth at the others suspiciously. "What about the stuff? You haven't forgot about it already, have you?"

 

[Dichotomy]

Almost as soon as Logan's words leave his mouth, Angrod blurts out, "The Hells if I have!" The elf seems to immediately have realized how that must have sounded. His cheeks turn a bit crimson and he looks back down at his breakfast. However, the elf does not take back his words, and his eyes seem to glance toward Kote.
