[WoT Adventure] Turn 2 - Back at the Inn

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Jain Hadlin

With any luck, Jain managed to get himself up fairly early. As soon as he gets up he hurries down stairs and makes ready to go investigate the seen of the battle last night. He even hangs around longer then he would like to see if any of the others would be interested in joining him on his little investigation.

 

[Shalimar Shiawase]

"Yes Lila Sedai. Whatever you think best Lila Sedai." Shalimar said not really paying attention as she tried to wipe the sleepyness out of her eyes, and not for the first time failing miserably.

We get to see Logain, and if we are smart enough, we can learn the shield weave. Why am I not happy about that when last night I was very interested in doing just that? Oh yea, getting up this early after being so tired. Yup thats definately it morning is not my friend. I never had to get up this early in Sheinar.

Shalimar yawned while eating, still more tired then hungry.

I wonder why Lila Sedai seemed upset about speaking with Eladia Sedai. I know Eladia is always talked about as having a temper, even for a red, but Lila Sedai is a full sister. Hmm....

"Good morning Yuri," she says when she finishes eating.

 

[Enforcer]

Yuri is up and in the common room by the time Lila Sedai is leaving. When he sees the two girls come down, he thinks, Ashrem is insane enough to smile at them! Might as well pinch them, he'll get the pain over with sooner that way. Maybe Ebou Dari really are crazy...

Shalimar and Sirsei, if they give Yuri any notice, see a look of both increased respect and also one of resentment play across his features as he looks at them.

I'll give those two credit for coming back from whatever that was that Lila Sedai was talking about, but I can't see how they're at all stronger than Tasha!

What do I do now? I swore that I could never be a Warder without knowing what happened to her, but now that I know...do I dare go back? Would they even take me? On the other hand, any man who goes to the Tower to become a Warder knows what happens if his sister dies. I don't think I could go through that kind of pain again. The only thing I really know anymore is my skill with the sword, and I know it's lacking...

Jain Hadlin

Jain goes over to the table were everyone seems to be congragating.


"Good morning, ladies, gentlemen, i was thinking about checking that field from last night. I'm worried that there may be more trollocs, or the creator perserve us, a fade"

"If thats what you were up to anyway" He looks at Yuri's armor.
"I'd love to come along, I've had my more than my share of experiance with these flamin monsters, and if there's any trouble you'll need all the help you can get."

"What do you say, can i come?" Jain grins and offers a hand to each of you.

"By the way, I'm Jain Hadlin, professional vagabond!"

Pedron

Pedron doesn't awake as early as Lila, having slept fitfully, several times awaking at sounds near his door. He waited tensely each time, hand on his rapier, until the sounds died down, just other guests at the inn going to their room. All in all, it had been a bad night, and he'd stay in bed if his restlessness would let him, but now that he's awake going back to sleep just is not possible.

Thus he gets up and gets dressed. Conspicuous or not, he's wearing his rapier today, and slinging his shortbow across his back. His cloak does a halfway decent job of hiding both weapons, but he knows that anyone who looks closely will see them. He's not fighting Trollocs with just his knives today. Light, if he can avoid it, he won't be fighting Trollocs at all. Still, it doesn't hurt to be ready.

Once he's prepared, he heads downstairs, just missing Lila (if he's lucky).

 

[Ashrem Bayle]

Ashrem jerked awake with a gasp. He sat up shaking, covered in sweat. A dream. Just a dream.. That dream had been one of the worse so far. He dreamed he had gone back home and used the One Power to help the town's people. All was well until he started going mad. He had stalked down the streets and killed all he saw with waves of fire and lightning. All the while he rotted alive, the skin sliding from his bones.

He sat in his bed in silence. Just a bloody dream. He felt bad, cold as if he had a fever. Suppressing a tremble he got up and found his clothes. As he dressed he thought about what had happened last night. Perhaps he would find some of the other men and go out to the field where they had fought the trollocs. He wanted to know where they where going, if anywhere in particular.

A wave of dizziness came over him and he sat down hard on the bed. He felt tired, as if he had ran all night in his sleep. Maybe a good breakfast will help… He strapped on his sword and grabbed his long coat.

Finished dressing he went downstairs and saw Yuri seated at a table. He seemed to have a rather grim look about him. That was fine by Ash, he wasn’t in a very talkative mood either. “Good morning Yuri.” He said as he took a seat across from the borderlander. Waving a serving girl over he ordered a large breakfast.

Looking at Yuri he asked, “What are your plans today? I was thinking about going out to the field where we fought the trollocs. Maybe we can find some clues as to where they where going or how they got here. Care to join me?”

He nodded as Pedron came down stairs and motioned for him to take a seat.

Yuri Morotakai

Yuri grunts. "I suppose it's better than last night." He fingers the unmended gash in his coat to prove his point.

"Yeah, I'll go with you, let me get my armor first. No sense in getting yelled at again for being brave." He rolls his eyes to tell you what he thought of that. "Besides, with all the troublemakers here to see the False Dragon, it'd be smart anyways."

With that, Yuri goes to his room, puts on his studded leather, slings his light crossbow across his back, and takes his bolts. Yuri prefers using his sword, but he's not dumb enough to think that's always the best answer.

He comes back and sits down to order a breakfast to rival Ashrem's. Then he orders seconds.

Light! The Warders told me that Healing made you hungry as a bear in spring, but this is ridiculous.

 

[Valkys]

Sirsei frowns as she gets up. She isn't a morning person. She isn't a night person either. She sighs with pleasure as she takes the luxury of another bath in the morning, quicker than last night.

She spend several minutes putting her hair up and then puts on a green dress, cut to accentuate her figure. She expects to be in the presence of men today, so she will be prepared.

She smiles at everyone when she gets downstairs. She's comes down later than Shalimar and Lila. She had to beg to stay in the room for a few more minutes just to make sure her hair was perfect.

"Good morning, everyone. How do we all feel today?" she asks cheerfully. She looks at Yuri, "Is everything all right?"

She orders her breakfast, taking a seat next to Shalimar when it arrives.

Pedron comes along--somewhat reluctantly

[OOC: Since everything's resolved, I can quit being confused.]

"I guess I could go along," Pedron says. "I'm more interested in where the Trollocs came from than where they were going, though. I don't suppose any of you could backtrack the Trollocs' trail from the inn? If not, then that field is probably the best place to start. Perhaps we should bring along Lieutenant Jerman and some of his men." Pedron's not exactly on friendly terms with the guards, and he's not looking to be, but if they actually do find a nest of Trollocs, he'd much rather that they did the fighting than him. Given the choice, he'd just as soon let sleeping Trollocs lie, only he's afraid they won't do the same for him. He does not intend to spend another restless night like the last one.

 

[Shalimar Shiawase]

OOC: I edited my posts to reflect what Drothgery has just explained, that the girls were invited to tag along to the palace. Though I wonder what that makes someone tagging along with a tag along?

"Yuri, Ashrem may I join you on your excursion? I would really love to see Camelyn, I have heard it is very beautiful from a few people, and I would not want last nights adventure to ruin my mermories of this place. Surely between the two of you, you can protect me from any nasty trollocs that might jump out." She says with a twinkle in her eyes and a mischevious grin on her face.
