[WoT Adventure] Turn 4

[dscrank]

Pedron keeps to the back of the group, keeping an eye on the beggar and an eye out for any trouble. That doesn't leave any eyes for other matters. Once they're moving, and if he thinks he won't be spotted, he draws a knife in his left hand and keeps it hidden within his cloak. He's ready to draw his rapier in his right at the slightest sign of trouble. He's about as tense as he can get, and that's pretty tense. Nice plan! Next time I need to come up with something that's less likely to get me killed. He casts a surreptitious glance over his shoulder to see if he can spot Jain and Ash.

[If he can]The idiots! Can't they hide any better than that?

[If he can't]Where'd they go? Did they ditch us? I knew I couldn't trust them!

 

[Shalimar Shiawase]

Sirsei is acting very oddly. I don't think she has ever gone so long without trying lecture me on something she has read about. Did Lila Sedai say something to her to upset her? Well one we are finished here with these fraudulant Gaurdsman, I will just have to take her shopping, that always cheers me up up

She thought brightly a smile settling on her face. She even winked at Tomas she so pleased with her plan to cheer up Sirsei.

Getting out from Lila Sedai's eye will do her good, nice as she is Lila Sedai is still a sister, as much as we might like her she still can send us to bed with no dinner, or strap us.

 

[Enforcer]

Yuri Morotakai

[ooc: sorry I've been outta the loop! My friend's 21st birthday was on Friday, and kung fu class kicked my ass yesterday.]

Yuri tries to stay just behind the beggar. At the first sign of trouble, he's ready to unfold the fan and use it. He's doing his best to keep his thoughts clear of everything besides keeping his companions and himself safe from harm.

 

[Tay-Dor]

Walking confidently down the street behind Yuri and the Beggar, Lord Tomas escorts Shalimar while keeping an eye out for their surroundings. A man could get used to this...walking arm in arm with a pretty woman. Too bad she's Aes Sedai. At least she hasn't tried to hit me yet...or make me do something. Now she's leaning on me. Hope she's okay. Best to ignore that and assume she's fine. She won't like me asking. Now if only she would apologize for her unseeming reactions earlier. Then things would be much more bearable.

She thought brightly a smile settling on her face. She even winked at Tomas she so pleased with her plan to cheer up Sirsei.

Lord Tomas smiled in responce to the wink. She winked at me. What is she up to? It can't be good. I better watch her...make sure she doesn't try something on me.

 

[Shalimar Shiawase]

Shalimar looks at Tomas oddly, "Why so quiet Tomas? Are you worried about something? I promise not to let anything happen to you, we wouldn't anything to leave you with a bad impression." she whispers in his ear with a wink.

He realy isn't that bad, so long as he apologizes I can deal with him. But he had better apologize to Sirsei for making her so upset.

 

[drothgery]

OOC: Tomas, you know very well that Sersei and Shalimar aren't Aes Sedai yet. Ashrem, you're pretty sure the beggar isn't the man you saw just after the parade. Jain, you're pretty sure the beggar is the man you half-saw before you ran into the Children this morning.

Sirsei and Shalimar see the glow of saidar around Lila Sedai. It's clear she's as suspicious as the rest of you. Pedron doesn't see Ashrem or Jain; it was hard to concentrate on them and the beggar at the same time <they both got 21 on their hide checks, and Pedron got a 10 on his Spot).

Lila Sedai doesn't seem to be paying attention to anything other than the beggar.

[from the book]
The hunched form of the beggar, lurching slightly as he shambles ahead of you, leads you away from the Golden Stag. You head up the street, in through the masssive city gate, and up the boulevard some five hundred feet or more. Signs of the parade lie everywhere, in the debris strewn across the streets and banners hanging from windows. You turn down a side street crowded close with shops and homes three, four, and sometimes even five stories tall. Though the city remains crowded, the throngs are nowhere near as dense as they were earlier, and you easily make your way through the remaining bustle, past merchants and townspeople, transients and refugees.

The beggar stops before a plain building, marked only by a crimson banner of Andor hanging from an upper window. "Here is the officer you seek," he says, motioning toward the open door. Inside, you can see a soldier in a crimson tabard sitting at a table in a small room.

"You the ones from the Golden Stag?" he asks. "C'mon in -- the captain wants to talk to ya."

[Shalimar Shiawase]

"Thank You kind sr for bringing us this far, I am sure Lord Tomas will compensate you for the time you spent on our behalf." She says addressing the beggar.

She will disengage herself from Tomas's arm to allow him to pay the man a few coins.
She will take a step to bring her almost into the Doorway, readying flows of air to block off the door if needed.

"Captain?"

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Jain Hadlin, Sniper?

When they come to the building Jain looks for a good spot to lay in wait with a nocked arrow.

He also tries to keep an eye on the begger.

Alright, there's nothing that we can do now but wait, and stay alert. With any luck this whole thing will turn out to be nothing.

Jain whisoers to Ashrem, "Pick your spot and sit tight, be careful. Try not to play our hand too soon, if things turn ugly and we get picked off, there will be no one to get the others out of there.."

 

[dscrank]

All my fine planning for nothing, it looks like. Still, better safe than sorry. Pedron still doesn't sheath his dagger, though. It may look like nothing, but appearances can be deceiving. He lets the others go in first, keeping an eye on the beggar. If Ash and Jain are still out there, he hopes they keep their distance. There's no point in exposing the ruse now.

 

[drothgery]

"Thank You kind sr for bringing us this far, I am sure Lord Tomas will compensate you for the time you spent on our behalf." She says addressing the beggar.

"Let me take care of that." Lila says, passing a knowing glance to the two Accepted before handing the beggar a coin. Perhaps it's just paranoia, but better to be safe. As long as he has that coin, I can find him anywhere in Andor.
