May 09 21:06:15 <bynw> ***

May 09 21:06:15 <bynw> Major Kohler and 3 Spectrals have arrived at the cottage to retrieve the magical bracers. They have also handed a purse of coins for the payment. The purse is magical and contains many more coins that what it would normally hold. It is the payment for the job in full as agreed.

May 09 21:06:20 <bynw> ***

May 09 21:12:47 <bynw> *** LAST FEW LINES FROM LAST WEEK ***

May 09 21:12:59 <bynw> 21:25 <~bynw> ::one of them speaks:: "The bracers are magical. And they seem to be able to counter an anti-magic field. We can study the design of your bracers and then we will be able to create more of them for our brothers in the field."

May 09 21:13:03 <bynw> 21:27 < Luc> "A question, before I turn them over. Who are the three of you? I'm curious, and I prefer to know the names of those I associate with."

May 09 21:13:06 <bynw> 21:29 <~bynw> :: the three of them utter a word of power, transforming their mundane travelling clothes into the full robes of Spectral Magicians. All Whites ::

May 09 21:13:09 <bynw> 21:36  * Luc concentrates and casts a single spell towards the three.

May 09 21:13:11 <bynw> 21:39  * Luc looks up and probes for shields.

May 09 21:13:14 <bynw> 21:42 <~bynw> ::the Major pulls out a small purse and tosses it Mirina:: "That is for all of you"

May 09 21:13:17 <bynw> 21:45 < Luc> "Major, who do your associates here answer to? Shouldn't a Green be handling these?"

May 09 21:13:20 <bynw> 21:46 < Luc> *motions to the bracers on his wrists*

May 09 21:13:22 <bynw> 21:51  * Mirina looks at the purse and beckons Ri'am with a gesture.

May 09 21:13:25 <bynw> 21:51 <~bynw> ::Major Kohler:: "When I borrowed the bracers in the War Room. It was evident what they were but we couldn't be sure until they could be examinded fully in the physical. My orders were to take these 3 men with me, pay you the wages agreed upon and retrieve the bracers. They will be returned to you in about a week. The Spectrals with me serve 2 functions. 1) to reasure you that all is well. They are of the same school as yourse

May 09 21:13:32 <bynw> *******************************

May 09 21:14:42 <Luc> "Is there anything specific we should do during this week?"

May 09 21:16:16 <bynw> ::Major Kohler:: "Not really. You are free to do whatever you like. Being free agents of the Empire. But we are at war of course. And it appears the invasion has actually started."

May 09 21:19:47 <Luc> "Could you maybe send someone to transfer whatever intelligence is gathered during any encounters with the invaders? It could be useful during our bording attempts."

May 09 21:20:20 <Luc> *boarding

May 09 21:20:56 <bynw> "With this bracers, we wont need to do any boarding attempts. That is why you have just been paid without going." ::the Major says::

May 09 21:21:31 <Luc> "Then what? We sit here and wait for orders for a week?"

May 09 21:23:48 <bynw> "Not at all. Since you are non military. You can do and go as you please. If, for some horrible advance of the enemy. This place falls behind enemy lines. We will have to arrange another place to return the bracers to you."

May 09 21:24:05 <Mirina> "You don't expect us to get out of this alive.  That's why you've paid us now, rather than afterward."

May 09 21:25:52 <bynw> "We paid you now. Because you have given us, with the bracers, a way to counter-act the enemy's first tactic. However." ::he pauses::

May 09 21:26:42 <bynw> "The odds were against any teams going on those ships. Yours was not the only group of freelance talent getting ready."

May 09 21:30:08 * Mirina looks at Major Kohler, then looks away.

May 09 21:30:14 <bynw> ::the Major looks at Ri'am:: "When we return the bracers. We will have the compiled information on that boy you rescued from South Wind. Hasn't been enough time to get it of course."

May 09 21:31:06 <Luc> "Mhmm....We could always do some scouting of the enemy. Or maybe get a decent meal than what the kitchen has left here. Anyone got suggestions?" *nods at the Major, dismissing him*.

May 09 21:40:24 <Mirina> "I'm up for food and some scouting."  She smiles at Luc.

May 09 21:41:00 <bynw> ::the Major and the 3 Spectrals standby while the party talks amoung themselves. With Ri'am digging into her book some more.::

May 09 21:43:33 * Luc looks back at the major.

May 09 21:43:40 <Luc> "Did you need anything else, Major?"

May 09 21:46:08 <bynw> ::he smiles:: "The bracers."

May 09 21:49:44 <Luc> *unsnaps the bracers and hands them over*

May 09 21:50:33 <bynw> ::the Major takes the bracers, but does not wear them and then turns to his companions:: "Let's go"

May 09 21:50:48 <bynw> :: the four of them leave the cottage closing the door behind them::

May 09 21:56:45 <Luc> "So, what now, folks?"

May 09 21:57:34 <Mirina> "Well, I'm nobody's idea of a gourmet chef, but I can assemble a meal.  I suggest we eat and then make some plans."

May 09 22:07:11 <bynw> ::the cottage itself does have a well stocked pantry and larder. there is enough to eat here for 20 men for 6 months::

May 09 22:07:55 <Luc> "Hmmm....we should be good." *laughs a little*

May 09 22:08:11 * Mirina laughs as well.  "Yes, I think we can make do."

May 09 22:24:53 <Luc> "Hmmm....We could always run around montair for a week and come back here. See how the Empire is handling this."

May 09 22:35:09 <bynw> ::Ri'am, in her small voice looking up from the very large book:: "I'm sure I could find something to do in the Capital"

May 09 22:36:14 <Luc> *glares at Ri'am* "No murders. Or maiming. Or dismembering."

May 09 22:37:12 * Johannes ponders their options in relative silence for a moment before murmuring softly. "I think we should stay for the moment."

May 09 22:38:11 <Mirina> "I'm inclined to agree with Johannes.  I don't want to leave without the bracers."

May 09 22:41:02 <bynw> ::Ri'am:: "Who says he is really going to return with them?" ::picking up the purse that was given to the group and apparently counting the coins::

May 09 22:42:42 <Mirina> "I don't think we have much chance without them."

May 09 22:42:52 <Luc> "We can wait a week and find out then."

May 09 22:50:08 <bynw> ::Ri'am:: "Well then I can at least have some quiet time reading my new book. It was part of the payment deal after all." ::she says going back to its pages::
