"I don't want to. I don't like how she looked at me," Aaliyah says. Ever since Barkvin mentioned the staff, her eyes had been on it. It was laying in the floor, just outside the bedroom. "We should wait until tomorrow to leave. Barkvin needs to rest, right? And Souris looked a little drunk...

"She's not woken up since last time. I think something serious is wrong; sometimes its good to have a third opinion, right?" He turned to Aaliyah: "I dont think anyone 'wants to' see her. But when someone who can turn into a dragon at will wants to see you, it becomes less a want and more a 'when'. I dont want her coming to town to find us, at least, just look at Barkivin after she 'asked' him. Souris I can get on her feet, but... Barkvin, are you up to the journey?"

"Ms. Agatha, could you have another message delivered? Inform Ser Gavan that pressing business has called me away and I will, unfortunately, have to reschedule our date. Tell him I look forward to that dinner when I return and... I will investigate the issue he presented me." She will take the time to write her message out as well and hands Agatha a gold. "Perhaps make a child's day."

 

Then, to the others, "I can go procure a horse for him. I, for one, dearly wish to stand before Griselda again. Her and I have much to discuss. In some ways, she is like a grandmother to me... one with explanations I feel are owed."

"I do like you, Ms. Nikoletta. There is a trade ship at the docks so I'll need rooms. Unless you plan to pay for the week you're gone, please try to carry everything with you." Agatha accepted the gold and the note. She did curl her nose a bit at mention of a date with Gavan. "I'm not sure on your taste in men though. I suppose he's handsome enough... if that's all that matters."

 

 -----------------------------AND WE SKIP-------------------------

 

Finding kids to carry messages is easy enough. Word is sent to the mayor and to Ser Gavan but there are no horses available in Empyrean's Rest right now. That is, there are no horses for sale or rent right now. What you do have is, about two hours into your trip, a horse riding up behind you. You turn to see who it is and find Ser Gavan. He's in his full plate armor, sun in glory on the breastplate. His horse is a large, bleach white horse with bright, almost glowing blue eyes. No livery or barding, which seems strange.

(Prior to leaving) "Argh, I am well enough to travel to see me ma. The old druid lady did want us to research the demon before meeting her, so there is that." Barkvin states.

 


 

As Ser Gavan rides up Barkvin just nods and says, "Aye, good day." He was not sure how he felt about Ser Gavan, he at least stood up and fought with them when he was needed, but he was also a cold blooded killer, no mercy for the enemy.

Before leaving: "Dunno where she expects us to do that. No library out here." Murdain went outside to look for Souris after handing some money to Agatha to reward the child who runs the message about dragon(which he clarified was a druid) to the Mayor, and who else knew about it, so Creed could do damage control. When he found Souris, he used the healing staff given to them by Aegis to heal the druid's intoxication, depending how receptive she was of the idea. He then briefly visited Aria and Ethyl to buy some alchemical items, and met up with the rest before they left.


After: He'd not expected the paladin to ride after them, and expected even less that he would come out without adornment marking him as belonging to the Xanathel house. Incognito? Or perhaps because Griselda might have found other proof Xanathels did business with the one who imprisoned her? As no greeting was offered, Murdain's only acknowledgement came by way of his raised hand, palm towards the rider. 'I see you'. It said. They did likely owe their lives to him, so he was willing to tolerate him for now.

Gavan continues on until he's in easy speaking range. "Hail. I heard tell you're making for the locale called Port. I hope you'll forgive me for inviting myself but I'd like to see more of the Vale, speak to more of it's people." He glances northward at something and adds, "and, if you'll humor me, I'd like to learn more of our new neighbor. I cut down some mongrels last night and, as I fought, a storm blew in and the dark, rundown house seemed to wake up. I know you have some history with that family."

 

He dismounts and starts leading his horse out of respect to those who are forced on foot. "This is Solita, by the way. Her and I have been through a lot together."

Murdain shrugged. "Vale's a big place, cant tell ya where t' go. Its laws are its own, after all." He added, the insinuation clear. However rude or not the idea of joining was, and however much a dog of the baroness he was or was not, and however much they were spied on or not - it didnt matter right now. They did discuss their plans at an inn, anyone might have overheard. Besides, having him along when Griselda spoke - and she was sure to find them - might be a decent way out. "Our new neighbor... Well, maybe we'll see them sooner rather than later. I'd 'ope not the pack, though." He spared a glance at the horse and recalled his own, Glutton. "History. Yeah, you could say that. What're your thoughts on Skorn?"

Souris' had been wandering around town, talking to the occasional cat or fence post, before wandering off again. She played with the kids, hide and seek, but then forgot to look for them and she didn't think it was possible to be scolded by someone with so many mouths. When Murdain found her she was still excited and then leaned forward to whisper conspiratorially "Did you know that there are faces following us? They're everywhere, but luckily if you jump between the light, they can't catch you! but... everything is light! So its really hard to do, then poof! Your gone!" She made to run off again but he touched her and her eyes went wider and wider and wider, then rolled back in her head and she fainted.


 

She didn't recall how she got home, but knew she wanted her clothes, particularly her hood, which she pulled down low. Everything was bright and loud and there was absolutely no need of it. She would have loved a grey foggy day. Then as she was just thinking that the brightness was terribly bothersome, Mr gleam himself, the paladin of light showed up in his stupidly bright armor. If that wasn't bad enough, he was a horrible sadistic murderer. "...nope. Not interested in having you along... at all." Did Barkvin really want to introduce this judgemental murderer to his family? Reaching out to her green companion she asked him as much. ~Barkvin, Gavan to your family? You sure that's a good idea?~

~"I am not a fan of this development either, but he'll just follow us. Someone 'overheard' us talking and that we need to meet Griselda, and about the 'dragon'... and the Port. Aaliyah said she told Xanathel about it, so this is probably her trying to spread influence. If Griselda is less than friendly, he can be a wall, though."~ Murdain remained silent outwardly, glancing at Souris briefly.

"Hey Mouse, will you walk with me and let the old men talk?" Aaliyah starts walking again, giving Gavan and Murdain more space. The staff occasionally appears behind her but she just keeps walking, leaving it in the mud whenever it blinks to her

 

Assuming Souris walks away with her, she will ask, "what about the demon staff? Do you... are you okay? For a minute I thought maybe you were possessed and that was really scary. I know you wanted to get that thing... it talks to you at night. Just gibberish though. I don't like it. I don't want it. Its wrong. Its cursed."

 

"It made that whole house evil. I know you wanted it but what if it makes YOU evil?"

Barkvin is still very unclear on who can hear his thoughts or not, so he shakes his head to Souris's question. ~No, I don't want him meeting my family, but if he wants to walk down the road with us, I guess that is okay. I don't trust him though.~ Barkvin thinks.

Gavan frowns at the rude response from the young druid. "I remember my father used to complain about kids your age and I always dismissed him as just being old and grumpy. Now here we are, his wisdom revealed more and more with every season."

 

His attention turns back towards Murdain though he does glance at Niko briefly. "Skorn? Slave warriors. Profane practice, what they do to those men. I fought one once, when I was a squire. It was my partner and I holding down camp while our lord was parlaying with some mercenaries. A lone Skorn entered into camp. We barely escaped with our lives.

 

"We were so proud when we killed him. Our lord had said there were cat headed slave warriors who were nearly unstoppable warriors with the mercenaries. Later we discovered Skorn are trained to fight in pairs and this one had already lost his partner and was injured previously. A very humbling lesson."

 

Gavan sighs and absent-mindedly lays his hand in the head of the golden mace on his belt. "I've heard there are five in the Vale. It means one is crippled by losing his partner. I'm not the young man I was last time but ill admit five on one aren't odds I look forward to. With my men, I've no doubt we can bring them down but it'll cost blood. Fathers whi won't raise their sons.:

Kirit gives Ser Gavan a wide and wary berth as he joins them. The man seems... different from how he acts before. Kirit says nothing but keeps his eyes open.

 

OOC is Ser Gavan acting strangely? Does he have an ulterior motive? Why would he be riding a horse without barding today?

That was new information. Of course, letting Gavan kill them would disrupt the bounty, and worse, let Xanathel get a better foothold on the town... But sometimes you had to work with the cards you were dealt. "Aye, there were six, and a Handler." He recalled how Creed called the priest. "We captured one, an' 'e killed himself." Murdain shrugged. "S'pose they're my burden now." He considered briefly. Inviting Gavan along to fight Skorn without consulting the group didnt seem the best of ideas. But it would certainly be better than him going out with his own men and nobly ending them, with the sacrifice of others to pave the Baroness' way. ~"Others will probably be against it, but what if we pulled Gavan along to hunt the Skorn? Less people die, Baroness gets less pull."~ he sent to Nikoletta. ~"Cough if you agree. Sigh if you dont."~
