Tristen shrugs and looks at the first letter again. "Ill take a lookout out in the woods surrounding the most direct route. The farmers and stall keepers I talked to told me about the surrounding area. I can find a good place and keep watch. As Matt suggested I can have Adler keep watch for different routes or fetch one of you if I run into any problem. One of us should then take a post at a different inn or rooftop to watch the alleys and buildings surrounding the designated meeting place."
"But we already know where the man is heading if the majority of the party is already waiting at the inn the rest could either meet the man or shadow him from the gate. Yes?"
Tristen nods to towards Matt before speaking again."I can take some sort of watchpost with my bow or I can help negotiate. People seem to love me oh so much like that ship captain." He finishes with a grin and a wink.
Tristen whistles softly, the sum would equal quiete a few hunting runs, perhaps up to four years of running furs. "Those are very expensive....stamps." He says nervously before calming down hurriedly.
Tristen blinks and looks up seeing Adler circling over head. "I think the captain was hoping to catch us up in a lie. That oil isnt just cooking oil is it? If the captain signed false papers saying it was and we were discovered with it well," Tristen shrugs then looking to Matt and Mangur, "I dont have the knowledge of these dealings, my art is more suited to simpler things."
Bluff "Chef told us that we have to take extra special care with them. Captain back there was giving us trouble with complaining about the extra expense of obtaining this stuff. Never understood why people had to go out of their way to try and cheat honest working folks you know?" Tristen chimes in following Matt before looking the man. Sense motive
Tristen groans and looks back to the captains apartment, "We have just been had." Quickly he jerks his shoulder sending Adler up into the air.
Tristen looks at Matt curiously "Mostly deer, elk if were in mountanious country, things like that. Beaver sometimes if we were lucky."
Tristen mutters "That man reminds me of the rich merchnats that tried to cheat us out of our season of pelts"
lol well I had my go at it your up mangur and matt lol
Tristen grins and then laughs, "Captain your compensation is that we wont have to mention this to our employer so that he won't quit your business, thus a contiued source of income for you and your men. Now if you don't mind I think we shall be going. Unless you have something else to discuss?" Tristen grins again and nods towards Mangur and Matt and moves to pick up the box.
Intimidate "And understand this captain if we have to go to the port authorites with this they will see two things, an employer not getting what is due him after fair payment, and a swindling mercant captain that is asking for greater money that is deserved." Trsiten says as he glares at the Captain now remembering greedy mercahnts trying to rip off his hunting companions.
Tristen blinks at the Captain and raises a hand towards Matt and Mangur. Adressing the Captain Tristen says, "Was this varyiance of terms stated in the contract captain. If so then perhaps we can bargain over that if not we will not be liable for terms that were outside any contract you have set up with the order. In short if expenses went up we would not be liable for them subject to the contracts wording." Tristen grins right back at the Captain Adler squawking loudly to emphasize his words. Diplomacy
Tristen frowns and wonders if looking at the merchandise would be allowed, had the instructions said anything about seeing what the lord ordered? Stroking Adler's plumage he leans over to whisper to Matt, "Are we allowed to inspect the shipment?" Bluff?
Trsiten spying the elf and Mangur begins to stride towards them whistling fr Adler to land on hishoulder as he does. "Any luck?" he asks Matt
Tristen makes his way among the lower end of vendors, ones that depend on the goods from outside of town, hunters, and farmers, trying to gather some information about the outlying villages and their every day concerns. Diplomacy Gather Information
Tristen shrugs after his two companions and looks up to where he can see Adler circling far above. Deciding it was time to start talking to others he moves off talking to random people that look like they aren't too busy to talk to a country boy. diplomacy (Improve relations)
Tristen turns his head slightly to address Adler, "Feel like going out? Eh course you do come on." Tristen nods to Matt and nods hurriedly finishing his meal and shoulders his own bow never really going anywhere without it and accompanies Matt and Mangur.
"Maybe he's just testing us, 'You don't go after the bear before you've hunted the rabbit' my teacher used to say. As to the plan perhaps we should have the knight follow Alika, just in case I mean. It's never a good idea to be alone in the forest probably holds true for in the city." Tristen says quietly after being thumped on the arm by the Elf.
Tristen looks after the elf for a while and raises an eyebrow in question then looks over to the glowering Alika and chuckles. "Maybe."
Trsiten wanders down into the common room a little while later and sees most of the group already out and about and unsure on how to proceed merely orders his food and waits at a table not wanting to interrupt anyone trying to figure out what he should to progress inside this city.
nvm just saw that its 9pm nixed my plan then
What time of the day is it gm?
hmm ? oh no I understood why me being out of touch on pretty much everything and yes I would really appreciate a catch up been talking to my brother and I feel he has to back out of quite a few games he rarely posts anymore anyways and im kinda just worried hes slowly all of the games down I dunno we will see but I do intend on sticking it out as I do want to develop a character again
Should I even ask for a catchup or something cause im currently lost in all the posts all I know is last I knew me and bro were running as bodyguards or I was waiting outside but apparently Mangur took over my station and cut me out or something som Im lost in where my character even fits in
Tristen hums a small tune to himself as he settles down and listens to the others his interest peaked at the list items though, but sighs almost to himself as again the list seemingly pertains not a t all with is own talents. Instead he businesses himself with feeding Adler and waiting for the others to decide what the plan is. "I can always stay back a ways and watch out for anyone moving to surround you all, my bow isnt very suited too indoor fighting but I can definitely give you a warning, Adler can be very loud when he wants to be." He chuckles to himself looking around to see if this was a good input.
Matt the night before:
Tristen looks bright eyed and eager for the day, apparent by how half his face is in the process of being shaved by the sharp razor in his hand, his eyes grow confused and concerned when Matt explains.
Tristen sits down waving at a few of the more friendly patrons as he had gambled some with them and exchanged stories from his time in the wilds in return for riveting stories of life in the city. He orders a hearty meal and tucks in nodding to Mangur relieved he wouldn't have to go out hunting for the man.
Gm it is definitely not you and I have talked to him and will continue to talk to him hes just worried hes not contributing at all not any fault of yours and its not the pace either hes just little out of the loop Finals are crunching down here and workload increasing we just dont want to slow down the game
Hey guys my brother is thinking he might have to drop this game as he has no idea what to do here and really cant contribute at all
"knowing the lay of the land is always useful i'll go with you matt. Seeing as the others wish solitude." He grins good naturally.
Tristen watches the exchange of goods with a casual eye but frowns as he listens to the woman. Sense Motive vs Human Once outside he speaks slowly, "That woman almost let slip something, Stargazer was not what she had in mind when she spoke and only managed to cover it up? Why would someone do that?"
Trsiten's ears perk up once he hears of the other remedies and can't help but ask "What herbs do you use?"
Tristen shrugs and bows to Alika grinning all the while. Adler unaccustomed to this move lets out a loud squawk and hurriedly flies off to take position on a roof eave overlooking them all. "Guess its just you, the knight, and me to brave this noxious nest." Tristen laughs and winks over to the other pair.
Tristen walks about the shop looking at every bow noticing the delicate deisigns. He glances back at his own bow made from the bough of an ash tree. It was serviceable but nothing like these ones. "These are truly well made Master fletcher, someday I hope to be able to own such a well made bow." he says complimenting the shopkeeper once he is done.
Tristen eyes light up at the sight of the bows, the craftsmanship showing off the skill of the maker.
"I like the look of this place reminds me of....home...." He says slightly wistful.
Tristen shrugs going along with everyone seeing no harm in gathering up a few supplies.
The night before:
Tristen looks to Alika, "I was not told anyone was in charge of me. I will go where I am sent by our patron not decided by you. My views are my own and it has already been discussed how I will conduct myself if clients are within the clergy. Do not try and order me around woman, the churches inquisitors and an empress could not kill me so leave me be with my views they won't hinder any endeavor we conduct professionally. So again woman don't think you can control me or why I go." He turns to the elf then "My people were taken over by an empire and blamed for the incursion of demons because of our faith. Every day Inquisitors roam the land looking for devil worshipers and followers of the devils that try and enter the land. As they search they round up anyone they can get away with and by the empress's ignorance...we burn...in the cities, in the streets, village squares....our own homes. If you will excuse me I believe I shall turn in if that is acceptable to you mistress?" Tristen makes his way down freshly shaved the bird Adler strangely absent from his shoulder. He thanks the young woman silently and pokes at his food his eyes dark and troubled. Dark circles around his eyes showing signs of how well he slept. At Alika's barb he just laughs sneering at her in contempt before saying "We are supposed to receive orders from Gueneph, if that helps. Anything else our patron avoided."
Tristen pushes his plate away suddenly not hungry. His manner consumed by barely suppressed rage. "The gods can go burn in hell along with the snakes and vermin that call themselves clergy." His eyes glittering darkly he presses his lips together tightly and feeds Adler the last of the food and bone.
Mangur,Matt, Alika: Tristen thanks Gueneph heartfully and begins to uck into his food hastily having been without food for a while, his stomach never able to hand more than water upon that miserable ship. Ocactionally while he eats he hands a sizeable chunk of bone to Adler who happily seaizes the bone and swallows it whole cawing for more softly. Tristen pauses at the comment of the poison a confused look upon his face. "Hows it harder?"
Everyone but the knight lol: --------Before Alika----------- "You the bird" huh? Probably shouldve had Adler shat on him that would fix him. Tristen smiles widely at the though and walks over to the pair Adler hoping off to sit on the chair's back. "Well well if it isn't the thief in the night?" Tristen chuckles before leaning over to look to the matron. "Miss please don't forget the bones any will do I would take it as a personal favor. Thank you." he says before leaning forwards to look at his two companions. "So any word on the other two? Think they will be joining us here at our lovely inn?" ---------When Alika arrives---------- Tristen rises out of his seat, disturbing Adler but he ignores him, and bows slightly. "Miss good to see you again. had a feeling you would come by." He grins at her.
GM: "Oh I am sorry my names Tristen Almeran." He smiles sheepishly having been caught without his manners with what he could assume was his boss?
GM: Tristen smiles good naturally, these were the sort of people he was used to though it did seem slightly upper-scale compared to the inn's he had stayed at before. "Evening good matron, uhhh I believe I'll need a room. Im new in town and was directed here by new acquaintance. Hope you don't mind Adler here, he doesn't eat much and ill clean up any mess he would make. Actually do you suppose you might have a leg bone of something or any couple of bones would do." He smiles rather embarrassed as Adler squawks loudly at the mention of bones. "Again I am sorry I know this is...different than your regular patrons."
