X4: Master of the Desert Nomads - IC

[Jemal]

Nargon neither has nor needs a mount, but does offer to help carry supplies, for he'll be partaking of them. Once they are away from the regualar army members, he mentions to his companions "I have a healing wand in case we need it, and the ability to use it, but have been keeping it hidden so they don't attempt to.. requisition it from me."

WHen they're talking to Pormas, the half orc warlock has but a single question : "How much."

 

[Leif]

Bevin, Dwarf Rogue2/Wizard6

"Yes, I share the curisity of my friend Nargon: How bloody much do you think that your guide services are worth?" After he says this, Bevin's face becomes a mask of discontent, and he spits, as if discounting Pormas's answer.

Looking at the raft and then back at his horse, Rajah is concerned. His mount would be a great asset in the desert, due to its nature. Thinking to himself, "Hmmm, once we get out of town I think we could have him walk along the bottom of the river. Additionally, we could strap the raft to it to assist with the movement" . Rajah will procure the provisions that he'll need for the trip and assist the others in whatever way he can. Also, he's growing more suspicious of the river guide, wondering how he managed to survive when everyone else perished and Rajah will send Razor off to gather some more info on him. He'll ask the quasit to invisibly enter the man's home and see if he can find something that might be on interest.

...Once they are away from the regualar army members, he mentions to his companions "I have a healing wand in case we need it, and the ability to use it, but have been keeping it hidden so they don't attempt to.. requisition it from me."...

"I have some healing items, too. Better for healing after a fight, though. But nothing to heal the touch of those Souleaters." Girgal explains. As usual, he is riding Ripclaw. All he needs he has on himself... but a weapon. "If we have to kill a goblin or other small humanoid, take the weapons, please. Or if you see a small club... bring it to me."

Aram holds up his hand, displaying a polished steel band inlaid with silver etchings upon one of his fingers. "I need no provisions, nor do I sleep much. This ring, a gift from my mentor, sustains me through such things. Though I do like the taste of a homecooked meal, when it comes to field rations I'd almost rather not eat." The dervish smiles. "I also have my own means of healing myself, at least of most minor injuries."

 

[Walking Dad]

Girgal smiles at Aram's words, his teeth seems slighthly pointed. "Me and Ripclaw too, my friend. Have you ever tried to aquire enough fresh meat to feed sombody like him? But he really likes the taste of a good fleshy enemy ."

 

[Leif]

Bevin, Dwarf Rogue2/Wizard6

"Girgal, perhaps you should ask our hosts for a club before we leave? They gave this shiny new crossbow to me, so I think that the least they could do for you would be to give you a club. Or perhaps you just don't want to be bothered with carrying one around before you need it? Oh, and I also have a number of "healing draughts" that I hope we do not need, but better safe than sorry!"

Pormas considers, and replies "Track? Maybe. Depends where, what. I can find food, sure.

If you intend to go all the way past the swamp and to the desert, how about nine hundred gold? Surely that is not much for wealthy adventurers such as yourselves."

To Bevin he adds "And mind you, I may not have much but I still have my dignity. I won't work for you at all if you disrepect me again."

As the sun draws lower in the sky, you become more aware of the sounds of nature here. Crickets are chirping, and frogs are croaking their own song.

Much of the reserve force has already headed out of town.

 

[Rhun]

Aram points to one of the few trees nearby. "Just grab one of those stout branches, and I shall whittle it into a club for you friend Girgal. It'll give me something to do on the boat."

 

[Leif]

Bevin, Dwarf Rogue2/Wizard6

After Pormas names his price for his guide services, Bevin turns away from him without saying another word, and completes loading his gear onto the boat. "I think you can all guess what my opinion is of hiring our guide here. Still, mine is only one voice of many, so I'll keep quiet and abide by the decision of the group. If I were to speak my mind, he would surely not work for us then!"
