"The city guard isn't automatically loyal to the queen," Kessel retorts, "we're here to keep order. I'm not here to prop up a false or unrightful ruler."
Bean stands back a bit, ready to aid his friends if needed, but not wanting to provoke another riot if possible.
Bean sniffs, "Hardly... I don't do disguises, those are for young lovers with little tact. I left in good standing, and if I come back it will be the same." He then smiles charmingly, but with a jesting air, "After all how could someone not love me?"
On their way out Bean smiles and nods to the various people he had met during the evening, exchanging small pleasantries with a few, and noting the location of the temple to one or two others. Smiling Bean answers Kessel humor in his voice, "Well, there's wrestling and then there is wrestling Kessel... and sometimes the two aren't that different. Some of the tactics that a good priest or priestess of Sune must use sometimes have more applications than simply in the bedroom... however I must confess that I too was a little surprised it worked as well as it did, but we'll simply thank Sune for watching out for us." Bean keeps an eye out too, while the had left the Spider in good spirits that didn't mean some simpleton wouldn't get the wrong idea and have a go at them... and who knows, maybe something else would come along to spread more of Sune's joy their way.
Surprised at how well that went Bean looks at the bruise and decides to leave it... women love scars and while minor it was an interesting conversational piece.
"I'll do it," Bean shrugs, handing his walking stick, circlet and a few other items to Kessel before whispering to him, "If the worse happens give the circlet to Ellen of Merchant House Tredu... Reg knows where to find her. The wand should go back to the temple in town, the rest I'm not worried about... just put it to good use."
Please note that Bean is on the short shift of HD too, with only a d6 for hit dice (plenty of other stuff to go with that so I don't mind... just saying). I'll go for it then... this should be fun!
Heck at this point all we need is a really high initiative then. Grab one in your pouch and knock one off. You win.
"won't work Kessel... if you knock off a coin you lose. However I think a deal could be struck where losing is just as advantageous to us as winning." Bean continues quietly whispering only to Kessel, Spoiler: "IF say that halfling paladin was to do the combat... and lose it says something to the "power" and "acceptance" of the Spider in town... an air of legitimacy... the fact that the guard came and lost helps him. In exchange we get the information afterward as a "pity gift" which he "graciously" imparts on us. The problems are: Getting the halfling to accept it, Getting the spider to agree, and getting it done without everyone in the place knowing what's happening."
And the post goes to the wrong thread... of course! I don't mind him coming back.
"I'm aware of the rules," Bean states simply, "Two men on the table, everyone anties up, then stands behind their man. They have one hand tied together with their opposite, and a dagger is put in the middle between them. They can either grab coins, or beat each other down. If someone dies his side loses, otherwise the one with the most coin in his pouch when either a coin gets knocked off, or there are no more coins on the table wins... it's Devargo's Favorite game actually."
"Honestly I'm still rather new in your city. I traveled here from Sembia to check on a bit of a diplomatic mission between my church of Sune, and the local followers of Sharess. It's a shame that your city is having such a hard time lately, it seems quite the nice place -- and I imagine would be even nicer in better times." Bean chats as he walks with the group, "I must say a very beautiful people live here if the examples I've met to date are to be believed. Reg and Keen have been very helpful during my time here, and Euphengia -- may she be blessed -- had a very noble heart and soul. I haven't known Ms. Ashram long, but I must say she is rather lovely looking herself, and seems to be a very pleasant person."
"I am Bean, follower of Sune, and it is a joy to meet you." Bean offers with a smile, "I hope this is more trivial than our last task truthfully."
Bean will give a good report on her too, and probably leave with a small kiss on the back of her hand as a sign of respect. He'll also thank the Red Knights for helping with the children they rescued again, and tell them of where he is staying in case they need his help in some fashion.
I'll hold off on my "claim" to any treasure for right now. It works better with everyone else using it, and I'm in good shape currently. If someone ends up with some cast off stuff let me know, I might pick up some scraps, but as of now nothing we've gotten really jumps for me yet. Btw I'm not worried about that currently. Typically early stuff tends to go more to the melee and non magical people in a group simply because they need good equipment to function whereas a magic user (of any stripe) can typically get by without it.
[ooc] Bean would like to get cleaned up first, however he is not about to let the captive get away, make a scene, or have the time needed to trump up false claims about being abused during transport. [ooc]
"Red Knights first... I don't know something about this is wrong. The whole situation just doesn't add up."
"So wait a minute. This guy thinks we started that little shindig this morning? You know, the one where the renegade guards almost killed me.. twice!?! Where they stirred up the crowd by shouting about banites then cut down Eugphenia?" Bean stares a minute, "Let's get Euphenia's body, and simply call in the captain. Let him sort this out, I'm sick of this lazy, irresponsible, reprehensible, useless guards."
Bean keeps quiet but casts Guidance on Celena.
I would indeed like to take that, it would fit nicely. Thank you for the info, I don't have access to that book. I'm a little slow on my updates I realize but I am still very interested in this game, and if I don't post it's because I don't have anything to add at that time. Welcome to the group Kessel. You have an interesting choice of classes there, I'll watch your career with great interest! (movie quote!)
Bean is waiting, trusting Reg to not do anything horrible, and watching around for anyone else coming up on them.
"Where are the rest of them?" Bean speaks to Reg and Keen looking around, "There were six earlier, we need to find them." He then turns to the little lady, "I'm a follower of Sune, we are looking for a friend that fell here earlier today, a dwarven lady, have you seen her?"
"Sune grant us your favor to smite the evil present!" Bean calls out lending aid to his allies, and the small figure in the room, that seems to be defending herself.
Perception 18 (1117) Bean looks around ready to move to aid his allies.
Um... yeah acid on the back door I guess.
"I have some acid we can pour into the lock that might melt it down so we can simply open it" Bean offers.
