[19:49] <.Bynw> protection of a Wards Major.  The party has awoken and is preparing to continue their journey.

[19:49] * +Lars_Revik returns from his morning constitutional...
[19:50] <+Lars_Revik> "How much further, Nym?" 
[19:50] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Puts a hand to Lady Atrina's shoulder:: "Wait.." 
[19:50] <+Atrina> ::looks at Nym and says "why?"::
[19:51] <+Atrina> "is there anything you need to get done?"
[19:52] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Smiles:: "Humor my paranoia please Lady Atrina. My last thoughts before the Wards went up have me on edge. Give me just a moment." ::Smiles again:: 
[19:52] <+Atrina> "alright"
[19:52] * +Lars_Revik lets his horse chew on the roadside grasses while the others prepare and he gets his gear back in prepartation to depart.
[19:53] * +James eyes Nym carefully and puts his hand on the hilt of his scimitar.
[19:53] <+Atrina> "Do you sense something James?"
[19:53] * +T_Shaw prepares my horse for departure
[19:54] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Draws his Star Sword in a practice motion, dark green flame engulfs the blade:: 
[19:54] <+James> "Nooo . . . but Nym's worries have me edgy."
[19:54] <+Atrina> "aye, understood"
[19:54] * +Lars_Revik peers over at Nym, just as he puts his own sword in its scabbard.
[19:55] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Reaches up with his Star Sword and begins cutting a small hole in the top of the dome:: 
[19:55] <+Lars_Revik> "Whats the trouble, Nym?"
[19:55] <+Atrina> "I could have just dismantled them!"
[19:56] <+Atrina> "don't do that!"
[19:56] <+Atrina> "I don't know what the consequences may be!"
[19:56] <+Bredock> "Dismantle who? There will be no dismantling without me?"
[19:56] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Over his shoulder to Lars:: "Nothing yet. I just want to be careful and take a look before we drop the wards." 
[19:56] <+James> "Yeah, but then anything outside would have us."
[19:56] * +Lars_Revik nods to Nym, and he stands watching.
[19:56] <+Atrina> "you cannot cut thru the wards and not take the consequences!"
[19:56] <+Atrina> "let me just dismantle them!"
[19:57] * +Atrina is nearly frantic now
[19:57] <+Atrina> "Nym, stop it...I thought you knew about wards...I guess I was wrong!"
[19:57] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Over his shoulder as he smoothly cut a small hole in the wards:: "Calm yourself please, it's okay." 
[19:57] <+Lars_Revik> :: Gruffly to Atrina :: "Easy lass.. Nym knows what he is doing, Im sure."
[19:58] <+Atrina> ::waits nervously for the dome to shatter::
[19:58] * +T_Shaw watches with wide-eyed fascination.
[19:58] <+Atrina> "Are you deryni?"
[19:58] <+T_Shaw> :: whispering :: "I've never seen this before...."
[19:58] <+Atrina> "I thought not, Lars, so please shut up!"
[19:58] <+Atrina> ::looks up nervously at the dome::
[19:58] <+Lars_Revik> "Mind that tone, Atrina.. my good sense more than makes up for anything else"
[19:59] <.Bynw> *the top of the dome has a 2 foot circular "doorway" in it when Nym is done
[19:59] * +Bredock takes some small form of cover, because of Atrina's franticness
[19:59] <+Atrina> "James, tell him to shut up...otherwise he sleeps outside the wards from now on..."
[19:59] <+Atrina> "and I still do not know what is going to happen as he cuts the hole!"
[19:59] <+Lars_Revik> "James is not my commander, and neither are you, Atrina."
[19:59] <+James> "Hang on, please, Atrina.  I want to see what Nym is doing."
[20:00] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Sheaths his Star Sword with a small smile to Lady Atrina:: 
[20:00] * +Atrina is pacing nervously now
[20:00] * +T_Shaw crosses self silently
[20:00] <+Atrina> ::relaxes a bit at seeing Nym sheathing his sword and looks up to the dome::
[20:00] <.Bynw> *the top of the dome has a 2 foot circular "doorway" in it when Nym is done
[20:00] <+Atrina> ??what do I see, is it still intact??
[20:01] <+T_Shaw> "I see it, but I do not believe it."
[20:01] <+James> "I've never seen anything like it before, either . . . "
[20:01] <+Lars_Revik> :: Lars crosses his arms over his chest, and watches what Nym will do next ::
[20:01] <+Atrina> "well, Nym, if you wanted a doorway, why didn't you just tell me?"
[20:01] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Looks up at the hole and then to Atrina:: "Please calm yourself Lady Atrina. I can assure you that you do not know all there is to know on matters of the mind. Watch and learn as I have watched you and learned" 
[20:01] <+Atrina> "I could've cut one"
[20:02] * Bynw is now known as Bynw[da_GM]
[20:02] <+Atrina> "there was no need for this drama"
[20:02] <+Atrina> "you had me worried"
[20:02] <+Lars_Revik> "Sounds like a self lesson, Atrina"
[20:02] <+Nym_Gibran> ::sniffs at Lady Atrina:: "I'm sure" ::a look of disbelief crosses his features:: 
[20:03] <+Atrina> "Lars, if I don't know everything about the mind, you know next to nothing"
[20:03] <+Atrina> "what are you sniffing at, Nym?"
[20:03] <+Lars_Revik> "The mind is a terrible thing to waste. Dont waste yours, Atrina"
[20:03] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Looks to Lady Atrina and Master Shaw:: "I don't suggest you try that trick if you did not help create the wards though." 
[20:04] <+T_Shaw> "Lady Atrina, Master Nym, fighting will not help us here."
[20:04] <+Atrina> "I know better than that"
[20:04] <+James> "Ahhh . . . interesting."
[20:04] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Ignores Atrina's baiting and shuts his eyes:: 
[20:04] <+T_Shaw> :: nods to Nym :: "Understood."
[20:05] <+Atrina> "alright no harm no foul...if he'd only said he was opening a doorway I wouldn't have gotten all frantic"
[20:06] <+Atrina> Tom, those who help set the wards can cut thru them..but others cannot
[20:06] <+Lars_Revik> "You dont like losing control of a situation, do you, Atrina?"
[20:06] <+Atrina> "I was just worried for all of us Lars"
[20:06] <.Bynw[da_GM]> (( pst no Tom here ))
[20:06] <+Atrina> ((sorry))
[20:07] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Sighs and opens his eyes:: "Nothing but parinoia on my part I apologize for the hold up Lady Atrina. Go on with what you where doing." 
[20:07] <+Atrina> "if someone who doesn't help in the wards setting, tries to breach it, it could be very dangerous"
[20:07] <+Atrina> "if you had only told me you were cutting a doorway, I wouldn't have gotten upset Lord Nym"
[20:07] <+Atrina> ::sighs and looks to the other Deryni::
[20:08] <+Atrina> "alright, here we go"
[20:08] * +James nods.
[20:08] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Looks flatly into Lady Atrina's eyes:: "You have asked supreme trust of us, have some yourself, My Lady." 
[20:08] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Bows a bit to Lady Atrina and looks away:: 
[20:09] <+Atrina> ::bows her head down and closes her eyes.  A brief flash of light arcs from her hand to the dome and it slides away slowly sinking in the ground::
[20:09] * +Bredock finishes gathering his stuff and jumps on his horse
[20:09] <+Atrina> "Aye Nym, but it may have been easier if you'd just said I am making a doorway"
[20:09] * +Lars_Revik spits and plucks a blade of long grass weed to place in the corner of his mouth.
[20:11] <.Bynw[da_GM]> *the clearing is how it was left ... save for signs of obvious tracks left by men that circle the once warded area - and what appears to be a burned body not 2 yards from the road - the road itself remains empty of current travellers
[20:11] * +James gets on his horse.
[20:11] <+Atrina> "wait!"
[20:11] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Mounts his Horse:: " 
[20:11] <+Bredock> "What?
[20:11] <+Lars_Revik> ::Lars mutters:: "You have to be told everything.. some psychic you are"
[20:11] <+Bredock> "
[20:12] <+Atrina> ::to the Deryni::@@the road has a red tinge to it@@
[20:12] * +Lars_Revik goes around and fetches his stead, and mounts the animal in preparation to depart.
[20:12] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Shuts his eyes tightly and looks as if he has tasted something foul:: 
[20:12] <+James> @@ I see it too. @@
[20:12] <+T_Shaw> "Master Nym!"
[20:12] <+Atrina> "we proceed carefully"
[20:12] <+Bredock> "What am I waiting for?"
[20:13] <+Atrina> "we see something, caution needs to be taken"
[20:13] <+Lars_Revik> (( brb ))
[20:13] <+Bredock> "ooo... do I get to know what?"
[20:13] <+Nym_Gibran> "It is Blood you see." 
[20:13] <+James> "That I figured."
[20:13] <+T_Shaw> "Was this blood here last night?"
[20:14] <+Nym_Gibran> "It is the same as last night. This road leads to Blood." 
[20:14] * DarkSir[away] is now known as Kanax
[20:14] <+James> "But now we wll see it."
[20:14] <+Nym_Gibran> ::To Master Shaw:: "Yes." 
[20:14] <+James> ((all))

[20:14] <+Lars_Revik> (( back ))
[20:15] <+Nym_Gibran> (('ello Kanax)) 
[20:15] <+Atrina> ((hi Kanax))
[20:15] <+James> :: looks towards the body :: "Well, someone tried to disturb our sleep."
[20:15] <+Lars_Revik> :: Lars put his mount into a high step, and canters the horse ahead a bit ::
[20:15] <+T_Shaw> ((Greetings Kanax))
[20:15] <+Atrina> "aye."
[20:16] * +T_Shaw climbs onto my horse quickly.

[20:19] * +Lars_Revik canters over to Nym's posistion.. and dismounts.
[20:19] <+Nym_Gibran> "Careful Lars don't walk over the tracks." 
[20:19] * +Lars_Revik looks for tracks.
[20:19] <+Atrina> ::walks her horse to where Nym is and dismounts"
[20:19] <+Lars_Revik> "Aye, Nym"
[20:19] * +James watches from his horse.

[20:20] <.Bynw[da_GM]> !! you see them Lars
[20:20] * +Lars_Revik follows the tracks first with his eyes.. to see where they lead.
[20:21] * +Kanax walks up to the road and kneels as he approaches the edge of it.
[20:21] * +Bredock watches from his horse, careful not to ruin any evidence
[20:21] <.Bynw[da_GM]> *lars gets lost trying to follow the tracks with his eyes

[20:22] * +Kanax stands, shaking his head. He turns, and approaches the others.
[20:22] <+Lars_Revik> "I think I can follow them Nym..."
[20:23] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Says nothing as he is in total concentration on the tracks and other signs of the killers passage:: 
[20:24] * +Lars_Revik follows the tracks to the edge of the forest.
[20:24] <+Lars_Revik> "These person's tried very hard to hide these tracks.. they backtracked over their own steps to try and hide them."
[20:25] <+Lars_Revik> @roll d20+6 to notice anything new at the edge of the forest
[20:25] <@BoxCars> Lars_Revik: 1d20+6 = ( 12+6 ) = 18 forest
[20:25] <+James> "So we follow them?  Or move onward to our destination?"
[20:25] <+Atrina> "that is a standard practice, Lars, if one is trying to not be discovered"
[20:25] * +Atrina rolls her eyes heavenward
[20:26] <+Lars_Revik> :: Lars mutters to Nym :: "Can I kill her now, or later?"
[20:26] * +Kanax glances at Atrina, before looking in the direction that Lars has followed the tracks.
[20:26] <+Atrina> "Let's wait to see what Lord Nym discovers"
[20:26] <+T_Shaw> "Agreed. The blood pool and the body may be related."
[20:26] * +Kanax examines the body.
[20:26] <+Atrina> "my thought exactly"
[20:26] * Sutekh has joined #Teara-Adan
[20:27] <+Atrina> "we should find out all the information we can get first"
[20:27] <+Kanax> (( Ack, what was peer last week? ))
[20:28] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Kneels down next to the tracks in concentration:: "Some go through the body and see what you can find and see if anyone can make out the clothing." 
[20:28] * +Bredock volunteeras
[20:28] <+Kanax> "Already on it, lad."
[20:28] <+Atrina> ::goes over to help Kanax::
[20:28] * +Bredock jumps down and goes to examine the body
[20:29] * +Kanax mutters, "It's a local. Stabbed..."
[20:29] <+Bredock> @roll d20+9 to spot anything on the body
[20:29] <@BoxCars> Bredock: 1d20+9 = ( 4+9 ) = 13
[20:30] <+Lars_Revik> "It would *seem* that the tracks end here, at the start of the Wood."
[20:30] <+Bredock> (( out of the ordinary is added to that ))
[20:30] <+Kanax> "They weren't killed here.  Nym, do some of the tracks look like they were carrying a load?"
[20:30] <+Atrina> ::leans over the body and closes her eyes in concentration, moves her hands above the body as if feeling for something::
[20:30] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Over his shoulder:: "Can you tell by what Kanax? Think it could be by that ritual dagger of the priests?" 
[20:31] * +Kanax checks out the actual stab wound(s)
[20:31] <+Atrina> ::opens her eyes and looks to the others::
[20:32] <+T_Shaw> "I may be speaking out of turn here, but the blood appears to be fresh. That could mean whatever caused the blood to spill is close."
[20:32] <+Kanax> "Not specifically, but the wounds are the right size, Nym."
[20:32] <+Lars_Revik> "They must be offering sacrifices as they travel.. and just discarded the body.. as a marker? Or, a warning..."
[20:32] <+Atrina> "could be Lars"
[20:32] <+Kanax> "Possibly, but there's not enough of it... Whatever killed them didn't do it here."
[20:32] <+Atrina> "we may not be far behind them in that case"
[20:32] <+Bredock> @roll d20+3 to search through the body
[20:32] <@BoxCars> Bredock: 1d20+3 = ( 6+3 ) = 9
[20:33] * +Lars_Revik walks out of the high grass and back to the road.
[20:33] <+James> "Or they were trying to breach the wards."
[20:33] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Examines the tracks one last time and stands up:: 
[20:33] <+Kanax> "Most of the other sacrifices were people of... some note.  Military people, etc.  This is a commoner.
[20:33] <+Atrina> "aye, that is always a possibility"
[20:34] <+Nym_Gibran> ::To All::"Kanax is right they killed this person somewhere else and dumped it here." 
[20:34] <+Bredock> "The body is just a charred body with some coins around it from what i can see"
[20:34] <+Kanax> "Do some of the tracks look like the killer carried the body here, Nym?"
[20:34] <+James> "What kind of coins?"
[20:34] <+Nym_Gibran> ::His eyebrows shoot up:: "Coins!?" 
[20:34] <+Bredock> "Silver"
[20:34] <+Lars_Revik> "Better wash your hands, Mr. Bredock."
[20:34] <+Kanax> "Einarian."
[20:34] <+Nym_Gibran> "Let me see please." 
[20:35] * +Bredock picks up the coins and hands them to Nym
[20:35] <+Bredock> "They're just coins"
[20:35] <+Nym_Gibran> @roll d20+3 
[20:35] <@BoxCars> Nym_Gibran: 1d20+3 = ( 20+3 ) = 23
[20:35] * +Bredock then goes and washes his hands
[20:35] <+Lars_Revik> "Wolves can smell dead flesh from a mile away" :: Lars says matter-of-factly ::
[20:36] <+Kanax> "They stayed away from this corpse through the night, though, Lars."
[20:36] <+Kanax> "There is nothing natural about this killing."
[20:36] <+Lars_Revik> "I know, Kanax.. Im speaking for Mr. Bredock's benefit"
[20:36] <+Atrina> "aye.  It may need more than hand cleaning of get rid of that stench"
[20:36] * +Kanax nods, "Good point."
[20:36] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Nods in satisfaction:: "It was the Priests." 
[20:37] <+Bredock> "I'll just wash my hands while you examine coins"
[20:37] <+Nym_Gibran> "They where on foot, but they used arcane means to travel from the edge of the forest. They could be anywhere." 
[20:37] <+Nym_Gibran> "But my guess is they are watching us from a safe distance." 
[20:37] <+Lars_Revik> "Thats what I was thinking, Nym.. its as if they flew away once they reached the forest's edge"
[20:37] * +Kanax looks to Nym, "Lad, while you're ponderin' this... Perhaps you could tell me how to escape your "River of blood" vision..."
[20:38] <+Atrina> "why am I not surprised?" ::says with a half-smile::
[20:38] <+Atrina> ::looks alarmed at Kanax::
[20:38] <+Bredock> ::TO Nym:: "FOrgive my ignorance kind sir, but priests of what?"
[20:38] <+Atrina> "have you seen it also then?"
[20:39] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Smiles at Kanax:: "I've heard that visions sometimes drive men mad Kanax, but taking out your eyes will only make it stronger. Welcome to my world view." 
[20:39] <+Kanax> "Seen?  I see it now."  He points to the road, "It's not real, I know... but I see it all the same."
[20:39] <+Lars_Revik> "I know that the things in your minds seem very important.. but I suggest we get underway.. time is of the essence."
[20:39] <+Atrina> ::looks down the road to where Kanax is pointing::
[20:40] <+Kanax> "So we follow it, then?"
[20:40] * +Lars_Revik remounts his horse, and pulls it around in the direction of travel.
[20:40] <+Atrina> "ah, the red on the road, aye Kanax"
[20:40] <+Nym_Gibran> ::To Bredock and Master Shaw:: "We have broken a circle of Uthani Priests a week or more ago. They are following us now." 
[20:40] <+T_Shaw> "I think we have our warning to watch our guard."
[20:41] <+James> "Yes, Master Shaw, I agree."
[20:41] <+Lars_Revik> "Lord Nym.. I must suggest to you that we depart."
[20:41] <+Atrina> ::Nods::
[20:41] <+T_Shaw> :: to Master Nym :: "We will be ready for them."
[20:41] * +Bredock hops back on his horse
[20:41] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Looks at the coin in his hand again:: "Why leave these coins though?" 
[20:41] * +T_Shaw puts hand on Star Sword hilt
[20:41] <+Atrina> ::remounts::
[20:41] <+Atrina> "how much silver was there?"
[20:42] <+Nym_Gibran> "Why leave the body?" 
[20:42] <+Lars_Revik> "Money isnt important.. lets get the hell out of here" 
[20:42] <+Atrina> "what is the value of the coins?"
[20:42] <+Atrina> "it may be significant"
[20:42] <+Nym_Gibran> "They came all this way just to leave this for us to see." 
[20:42] <+Atrina> "is it 30 silver pieces?"
[20:42] * +Kanax turns back to the corpse, and composes the body. Lowering his voice, he says, "We have no time to afford a proper burial. I beseech the spirits of Einar to find you before the night does."
[20:42] <+T_Shaw> "Master Nym, agreed, and they may be watching us now."
[20:42] <+Nym_Gibran> "They even circled the wards to make sure it was us." 
[20:43] <+Lars_Revik> "I say leave the damned money with the body.. who knows.. maybe they want us to take it."
[20:43] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Walks closer to the body and kneels:: 
[20:43] <+Atrina> "was the total amount of the money 30 silver pieces?" ::asks quietly::
[20:44] * +Kanax looks up to Nym as he approaches, "We should leave him, lad. He's told us all he can."
[20:44] <+Lars_Revik> "The money too" ::Lars adds to Kanax's statement::
[20:45] <+Bredock> ((BRB))
[20:45] <+James> "That would be a message to you, Atrina."
[20:45] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Stands, drops the coin and mounts his horse:: "The body had blood left in it so it was not a sacrifice." 
[20:45] <+Atrina> ::goes over to see how many coins there are::
[20:45] <+Nym_Gibran> "Yes, leave the coins. It maybe some kind of trap." 
[20:45] <+Lars_Revik> "I know you want answers Lord Nym.. but this business will be better finished."
[20:46] <+Kanax> "True, lad."
[20:46] <+Atrina> ??how much money is there in the silver coins??
[20:46] * +Kanax stands, and returns to his mount.
[20:46] <+Atrina> "alright, lets mount up"
[20:46] <+Kanax> (( I didn't count it ))

[20:47] <+Atrina> "not the coins themselves, but the number"
[20:47] * +Lars_Revik nods to Nym.
[20:48] <+Lars_Revik> "As you wish, my lord."
[20:48] <+T_Shaw> "Lady Atrina, what do you think their significance is?"
[20:48] <+Atrina> "Lord Nym, a moment"
[20:48] <+Atrina> "Master Shaw, look around us...how many of us are there?"
[20:49] <+James> "There are seven of us."
[20:49] <+Atrina> "now, how many Deryni among us?"
[20:49] <+Lars_Revik> "Four"

[20:50] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Nods to Atrina's perception:: 
[20:50] <+Atrina> "Could be.  Lord Nym said they made sure they circled the wards"
[20:50] <+Lars_Revik> "Take the coins at your own risk.. you may have something at that line, Atrina"
[20:50] <+Nym_Gibran> "Perhaps Master Shaw." 
[20:50] <+T_Shaw> "Then perhaps we should send them a message."
[20:50] <.Bynw[da_GM]> *the party contiues onward down the road ... those that had "visions" superimposed can still see them but they are becoming more ghost like as the day passes*

[20:52] <+Atrina> ((she didn't make any move to touch the coins, just counted them))

[20:56] <+Kanax> "And I'd wager you Deryni need to be at full strength when we get where we're going."
[20:57] <+T_Shaw> "Or we could be setting ourselves up to be ambushed."
[20:58] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Nods to Kanax:: "Yes a Wise plan. The village should keep thee priests away as well. Not to mention I could use a drink or two tonight." ::Grins to Kanax::

[20:59] * +Kanax nods, "Best to get on a good schedule early than later, too. This is a long trek, by ground."

[21:00] <+Lars_Revik> "So be it!"
[21:01] * +Lars_Revik gallops up to the head of the party.
[21:01] <+Kanax> "The merchants that pass through usually trade goods at the inn of the same name.  They usually have a wonderful variety of food and drink."

[21:02] * +Bredock follows the group and dismounts
[21:02] * +Kanax seems to go into tour guide mode, "The Hutton Family settled this area many years ago. I believe they still own the inn that's named after them."

[21:04] <+Bredock> :: buys some fruit::
[21:04] * +Kanax stables his horse, and walks about town, stopping to chat with a few people that he knows.
[21:04] <+Atrina> "Lord Nym, may I have a word with you?"
[21:05] * +Bredock then stables his horse
[21:05] * +Lars_Revik goes to the inn.. has his horse taken care of, and enters the establishment.
[21:05] <.Bynw[da_GM]> *the "river of blood" flows into the village and vanishes once inside*

[21:06] <+Atrina> "who besides Kanax touched the body?"

[21:07] <+Lars_Revik> "Do me a favor first, Bredock.. go and clean up.. I'll meet you at the bar."
[21:07] <+Bredock> "Good idea:
[21:07] * +Lars_Revik looks at Bredock's hands.
[21:07] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Seems to think for a moment:: "I'm not sure. I was watching the ground. Maybe lars." 
[21:07] * +Bredock goes and cleans up
[21:07] <+Atrina> "we need to figure out if Kanax's vision was because he touched the body and coins or not"
[21:07] * +Lars_Revik orders two beers at the bar.
[21:08] * +James then takes Rufus outside the village to hunt.
[21:08] * +Kanax goes to the bar, and chats up the bartender. One might think he'd been here once or twice.
[21:08] <+Atrina> "we also need to find out if Lars did touch the body and maybe he might have a delayed reaction"
[21:08] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Looks perplexed:: "I thought all of us saw the river?"

[21:09] * +Lars_Revik raises his glass to Kanax, and pushes Bredock's beer over to him.
[21:09] * +Kanax nods to Lars.
[21:09] <+Lars_Revik> "Drink up, Bredock.. we needed this."
[21:09] <+Atrina> "you need to ask Lars if he saw the river or hue"
[21:09] <+Bredock> "Thank you kind gentlemen" ::raises his galss when they do::
[21:10] * +Kanax glances over at Nym and Atriana...
[21:10] <.Bynw[da_GM]> *the old man gives a double pint to Kanax with a wink*
[21:10] <+Atrina> "maybe I am being the paranoid one now, but, I would rather we know what we are up against"
[21:10] * +Kanax then looks to James, "Lad?"
[21:10] * +Lars_Revik buys the others a drink as well.
[21:10] * +T_Shaw pulls out parchment and a pen and ink
[21:11] <+Lars_Revik> (( brb ))
[21:11] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Nods and leans over to feed a bit of cheese to one of the villages cats:: 
[21:11] <+Atrina> "shall we join the others now?"
[21:12] <+Nym_Gibran> "Nothing to be done about it though. There powers are not in my field." 
[21:12] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Nods and begins walking to the others." 
[21:12] * +Kanax grins at the old man, "Lyle, your family's always been good to me. Nice to see that business is going well. What's new in the "Rest"?"
[21:12] <+Atrina> "I know, but we need to find out who exactly we need to keep an eye on to protect them"
[21:13] * +Lars_Revik sets a stack of coins on the bar, and tells the bartender to let him know when more is needed, as his friends will be drinking on him.
[21:13] * +T_Shaw writes words on the parchment and blows on it to make the ink dry faster.
[21:13] <.Bynw[da_GM]> *lyle* "that drink is new ... just a got a bottle this morning of it ... something special the guy said"
[21:14] <+Kanax> "Oh?  Who traded it?"
[21:14] * +Lars_Revik looks over at Master Shaw
[21:14] * +Kanax doesn't change his demeanor, but refrains from drinking, while he chats.
[21:14] * +T_Shaw repeats the process on more parchment, writing the same words as on the first.
[21:14] <+Lars_Revik> "What are you doing, Sir?"
[21:15] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Bellies up to the Bar and signals for a honeyed mead:: 
[21:15] <+Bredock> "I would like to know myself"

[21:16] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Raises and eyebrow at the bartender:: "What's the name of it and change my order to some of that instead, please."

[21:18] * T_Shaw has joined #Teara-Adan

[21:20] <.Bynw[da_GM]> *the drink is pretty clear ... like moonshine*
[21:20] * +Lars_Revik chugs down his beer, and puts the tankard down for a refill.
[21:20] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Smells it:: 
[21:20] <+T_Shaw> "If they are here and watching us, they will see it."
[21:20] * +James enters the inn, followed by a contented-looking bobcat.
[21:20] * +Kanax hrms, "Really... I doubt it came cheap. Where was he headed? I may have to track him down."
[21:20] <.Bynw[da_GM]> *the drink nym sniffs has no smell*
[21:20] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Smiles to the bobcat and throws him a bit of cheese:: 
[21:21] <+Lars_Revik> "Your quite the inventive one, now arent you, Master Shaw. I'll drink to your thinking, and to the hopes that 'they' arent watching that closely."
[21:21] <.Bynw[da_GM]> *Rufus stops and looks at the bit of cheese and back up to Nym*
[21:21] <+T_Shaw> "Please excuse me for a moment. I must attend to a matter."
[21:21] <+Lars_Revik> "Of course"
[21:21] * +T_Shaw gets up from the table and heads to my room
[21:21] * +Lars_Revik picks up his mug of newly poured beer.. and drinks deeply.

[21:23] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Takes a tiny sip of the exotic beverage::

[21:24] <+Kanax> "Never said that, lad.  Just saying... you know"
[21:24] <+Lars_Revik> "Good to meet you Mr. Lyle. You may call me Lars."
[21:24] <+Kanax> "Did he say where he was headed, Lyle?  I should track him down to see if he has more.  This would warm a body on a long trip."

[21:45] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Laughs even harder at Lars's anger and surprise:: 
[21:45] <+Lars_Revik> "Is this what you had, Nym?"
[21:45] <+Kanax> "Aye, and what I had."
[21:45] <+Lars_Revik> "It tastes like turpentine..."
[21:45] * +Atrina giggles as she looks away..trying hard not to laugh, but her shoulders are shaking
[21:45] * +Lars_Revik takes another sip...
[21:46] * +James grins.
[21:46] <+Kanax> "O'course, most dwarven spirits are marked NSFHC, but, you know.... Lyle can't see too well.

[21:49] * +James finishes his ale. "I think I'll try some of the honeymead, too."
[21:49] <+Kanax> (( Lyle's not, unless I missed something, a dwarf ))

[21:54] <+Lars_Revik> "Your welcome,, we needed some time to get our minds on something other than our quest."

[21:54] <+Atrina> "aye, we need to rest in peace"
[21:54] <.Bynw[da_GM]> *Lyle sits back a moment* "The only one I saw new was that merchant fellow ... no one in robes"

[21:56] <+Kanax> "Bull.  He sold it to you, you can sell it to me."
[21:57] * +Lars_Revik wanders over to one of the wenches.. and makes a deal for a night of pleasure.
[21:57] <+Kanax> "I'll not breeze into town and interfere with your business.  Ye'll sell to me like any other customer, friend or not."

[22:01] * +Lars_Revik wonders why Atrina is bugging Kanax.. but goes over to make talk with Nym.
[22:01] * +Kanax distractedly answers Atrina, "Just Bredock, why?"
[22:01] <+Nym_Gibran> ::Nods to get Lyle's attention:: "Lyle when you get a chance we'd like some rooms, please." ::sets some coin on the bar, enough to cover a resonable rate and a little more."

[22:03] <+Atrina> ::orders some dinner::
[22:03] <+Nym_Gibran> ??fortunate enough to have some music here in the common room??

[22:07] * +Lars_Revik kicks back, leaning his chair back on two legs..drinking, listening to the music, and looking around.

[22:08] <.Bynw[da_GM]> *she accepts
[22:08] * +Lars_Revik grins at Nym... and gets the wench whose services he has procured.. and dances with her along side Nym.
