[Unbounded World:The Aeterian Expedition] (Now With New And Improved Amulets!)

[hafrogman]

Teppic finishes off his drink and rolls his eyes slightly at the monk and swordsman. He gets up from his seat and walks over to them.

"If the two gentlemen have finished discussing the vital issues of the day, perhaps we could proceed. You have a choice. There is at least one library around here that we could look in for any more recent references to our goal. Or there is the last owner's tomb. It's about a week into the desert and has almost certainly been looted, but we might find some sort of evidence as to who looted it, and then we could resume the search from there."

 

[Ferrix]

Lochan having taken up a seat near the two rowdier companions remains quiet for the time being, wondering about the path laid before them. Seemingly lost in concentration when Teppic stands up and begins to talk he blinks slowly and then turns to face Teppic, "it may be best to head on into the desert, i would imagine the library would tell us little else but it's supposed final resting place."

 

[Lichtenhart]

"Besides, what do you do when you've captured the prize? Live happy ever after? Raise some anklebiters and rugrats, while your prize gets fat and old and gets snappy when you casually mention going to the pub for a few drinks? You wouldn't be the first hunter that gets snared by a doe, mate."

"Five years ago I helped two slaves escape their lord. They both were very old, and the man kept on coughing, it was clear he wasn't feeling well. I gave them money to buy a small cot, and they were the portrait of happiness. I went my way and eventually was back there a couple of months later. I wanted to check how they fared, and the man was in his bed, about to kick the bucket. But his wife was there with him, smiling and keeping his hand and looking at that poor wreck as if he was the most wonderful thing in the whole world. By all the gods, I'll never die that way, but I surely wish I'll do. I've seen many things in my travels but those two still impress me. Don't play down love if you haven't see it, lad."
Duncan finishes his second beer.
"And Lochan, if the tomb hasn't been looted, I'd rather know what's waiting for us there. I say we check at the library."

 

[Kalanyr]

OOC - Um, hello ? Somebody ? What are you doing ?

 

[hafrogman]

Teppic the guide continues to stand by the table waiting for a deciding vote to be cast in the current debate of one library vs. one desert.

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

After pondering the question somewhat, Talsia pulls out a set of incense and begins burning it quietly, mumbling a prayer to her deity as she does so.

(OOC-Augury x2, one for the tomb, one for the library to see if they would bring weal/woe/both/neither pertaining to their quest)

 

[Kalanyr]

Talsia:

Spoiler

Tomb: Weal and Woe, Library: Weal

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

"It appears that the library should be the first place that we should go, as it is the closest and will still benefit our journey." Talsia proclaims after finishing her divinations, "The tomb will also provide reward, but it appears that there will also be some danger-which can be a refresher after the library."

 

[hafrogman]

Teppic watches Talsia's spells with some interest and then nods at her findings.

"Very well, that is two for the library. If you have all finished with your refreshments, I can lead you there."

 

[DrZombie]

"You guys go right ahead, I'll try to sort some gear out, maybe our guide can come with me.Don't we need some camels and such? Water might be nice as well."
