Vengeance in Mornonas

[DarkMaster]

OOC Doghead you could answer Jasper question later.

As Xavier and Jasper finishes their conversation, a young men appears from behind a large tapestry on the left of the throne. The Baron excuses his two guests and head towards him. The young men is dressed in rich but sober cloth. About 6' tall and of medium built. Brown hair and blue eyes. He looks a lot like the baron. The young men looks extremely unsure of himself and shy of entering the room. The Baron talks with him for a while and they both dissapear behind a large tapestry. (Xavier and Jasper can safely assume that the tapestry is hidding some kind of secret door.) The elf and the woman then returns among the crowd and Xavier and Jasper notices that people are slowly leaving the room of the throne.

The young men who brought Jasper to this room is impatiently waiting for him.

(Japser spot xxx+1, sense motive xxx+7) Jasper really felt that the shy young men with the baron was watching him carefully.)

(Xavier sense motive roll XXX+6) Xavier is particularly surprised by how shy the young men can be, especially that he seems very close to the baron.

(Jasper, listen 15+1, spot 5+1) Jasper is waiting in the crowd when the muscisian getting out of nowhere behind him, touch his hand and places a piece of paper in it. He then leaves as if nothing happened.

The place is slowly getting empty and the young men waiting for Jasper is getting increasingly impatient.

Jasper Conrad

OOC: Assuming he sets up a meeting with Xavier..

With the baron gone and his other business concluded, Jasper will be happy to follow young man out of the throne room. Once out, he'll hurry back to the the inn the party is staying at before reading the note.

Xavier Roces, human male Servant of Hieroneous

Xavier cocks his head and his brow furrows for a moment at Jasper's request. He sorts through who he has plans to visit. The good merchant can wait a few days. As can the Ambassador. I would like to have enough time to talk to them properly, should they be willing, when I visit. After the expedition to Prumen then. So that leaves only the temple today.

"I don't really know where I am going to be today. I intend to visit the temple as soon as I am done here. From what everyone has said, I don't think that that will take much time. But I am not sure when I will be able to get away from here. After I am done, I suppose that I will head back here. Perhaps I could find you?"

 

[DarkMaster]

Xavier notices that everybody is leaving in various directions. That would be great opportunity to leave the throne now and continue his investigations.

OOC I will assume you decided to meet in front of the church around 11am
---

The young men brings Jasper back to the entrance of the citadel. He passes in front fo the guards at the entrance and enters the banking sector. He quickly dashes through it and passes in front of the main door then taking university street towards the east he finally gets to his uncle houses, he enters and his warmed by the others. He impatiently opens the paper given by the muscisian and read it. "Be careful, they are watching" was quickly handwritten on the little note.

11 of the clock at the church.

Xavier heads back to his room deep in thought. He had been thinking of asking the Baron if he could spare someone to accompany Xavier to the church. Xavier didn't really expect any problems, but it would smooth the way when asking questions to have a city official with him. Xavier didn't want to ruffle anyone's feathers. And he wanted to get into the church to see what state it was in.* He didn't want anyone calling the city watch or some such nonsense. But given what the Baron had said, perhaps it wouldn't be necessary. Not having to wait for the request to be considered and someone found would save some time certainly. Perhaps the map alone would be sufficient.

Xavier resolves to ask Jt'trialaila when she brings the map. Perhaps a member of the castle guard could be spared. Perhaps Jt'trialaila would accompany him. She is, indeed, intriguing. Xavier hurridly scrubs away that thought.

ooc: * does Xavier have a key to the church? I assume that it would have been cleared of anything valuable and locked up when the church pulled out. Which I suppose is how Xavier expects to find it.

 

[DarkMaster]

The young elven women escorts Xavier out of the throne room, on their way to his room. Xavier asks her for a map of the area and if she would like to accompany him. (Diplomacy roll 13+13 sense motive 7+6 ) The young elven women who usually stays very protocolary, becomes all red and slightly nervous when Xavier asks her.
".... Of course!!!, He he, why not, I could help you getting around the city." She quickly get out of the room, a few second later she reopens the door her face still red "I will go get the map, I am not too familiar with this area and wouldn't want you to waste your precious time because of me."

Xavier is impressed how even under pressure the young women was able to stay very "professional".

Xavier Roces, Servant of Heironeous

For a moment Xavier can't work out what Jt'trialaila is agreeing to. Then he realises that he didn't scrub that thought, he said it out loud.

He's too flustered to do anything about it before she leaves. He sighs, and leans against the wall. Xavier. Xavier. What has gotten into you? One pretty woman and your tongue is flapping around like a bird in a cage.

[bq]"I will go get the map, I am not too familiar with this area and wouldn't want you to waste your precious time because of me."[/bq]

He leaps to his feet as Jt'trialaila pokes her head back into the room.

"Ah, Yes. I mean, No. I mean I'm sure that you won't. Um, be wasting my time. It will be much easier with you than er, ... your help would be most welcome.

"Ah, please take your time. Um, I mean I wouldn't mind a moment to myself actually, ... to get ready."

Jasper Conrad

Back at his uncle's house, Jasper will show the rest of his companions the note, and tell them about Sir Roces and the baron.

"I think all I accomplished was drawing unwanted attention to myself. Maybe this diplomat will be able to help us though, or at least resolve some issues with that temple. Does anyone want to come with me to meet him?"

Solomon Kreel

"So, the church of Heironeous has sent someone to investigate? A single knight? He will simply die like the others. Enter the temple and be killed. If we're around, we'll be blamed. If we are not, no one will ever find him. Nor are able to easily accompany him, as we are wanted men."

"What are our other options? Raid the counselor's boat? I have a personal interest in killing those in the church, who slew Telic. Perhaps we could reach the Temple in disguise of some sort. But if we must flee, it will go hard for us."

Jasper emits a long-suffering sigh. "No, it's not like that. This diplomat is an important person and it would stir up a lot of trouble if they killed him. And they know he's coming. So they're probably going to go into hiding, hoping he'll just glance around the abandoned church and leave again. But, "One finger stabs towards the ceiling. "if we're there, we can make sure he finds the secret passage behind the altar, and make sure he gets out. And that could easily involve fighting, which is why I'd really llike some help."
