Mossi watches the outburst with some detachment, and a bit of amusement once the bird man stands and reply, listing to the way his beak wraps words was somewhat interesting, and such shinny feather he had. She sits back in her chair
"So , we are clear we are not to be assassins, and as our feathered friend her says I have no interest in being in chains in the hellknights dungeons, however' She says leaning forward "I am willing to hear what you have to say.
"I will not hold you here; I would never ask anyone to join me who did not willingly believe that there is a better way. Leave if you wish, and if you do so, I wish you all the best of luck in your travels... But I do hope you'll stay."
"Of course I will stay Milady! How can I not when you think of nothing more than the betterment of all Westcrown?" Standing, he looks at each person in the room (and briefly out the window everyone else has been pointing to between whispers), then kneels before her his hand outstretched to her...
"Lady Janiven, I hearby proclaim my love to you! For as long as it pleases you, I shall pursue this endeavor! However I may, I will attempt your happiness, so your smile may brighten the lives of those who bear witness!" He then bows his head and waits...
"Lady Janiven, I don't have Master Grachius' conviction, but I want to hear what you propose. Time, unfortunately, does seem to be of the essence."
Camris pulls his sling out. I wish I had prepared myself as well as Master Ben. I hope everyone is nervous for no reason. Still...
Speaking of no clue: 11+6 = 17.

Tenze nods. "Indeed. I work for the betterment of Westcrown. But...what is the matter with Thrune?"
Tenze nods. "Indeed. I work for the betterment of Westcrown. But...what is the matter with Thrune?"
Rakless leaned closer to her and whispered, "Devils nesting in their chimneys..." hoping she would remember the reference.
Tenze nods. "Indeed. I work for the betterment of Westcrown. But...what is the matter with Thrune?"Rakless leaned closer to her and whispered, "Devils nesting in their chimneys..." hoping she would remember the reference.
"Hmm? Oh!" She laughs nervously.
"Devils, indeed," says Ben, finally finished with his meal. "If the devils think you a criminal, does that not make you the opposite?"
He rises from his meal with a polite "Thank you," and starts recollecting the near-arsenal he's brought with him, putting weapons and shield in their places, listening with interest to the others.
"Yes, what does Thrune have to do with all this? And can you hurry up with this, we'd all rather leave before the Hellknights get here." Zareth stands up and begins to gather his belongings.
"I've heard of them."
"Can't say I know much about them, beyond what most of us have heard. Just another noble house. Why them?"
"Yes, what does Thrune have to do with all this? And can you hurry up with this, we'd all rather leave before the Hellknights get here." Zareth stands up and begins to gather his belongings.
She laughs sarcastically. "I would have thought that you, as a diabolist, would know what Thrune has to do with it."
She laughs sarcastically. "I would have thought that you, as a diabolist, would know what Thrune has to do with it."
"Exactly. As a diabolist, I know my fellows generally don't kidnap random people just for laughs."
"Indeed, devils bring order, maybe not good but they like our country now has order. Not every thing has a hiding devil behind it. Now could we get to the matter at hand and leave matter of state to others?"
"Indeed, devils bring order, maybe not good but they like our country now has order. Not every thing has a hiding devil behind it. Now could we get to the matter at hand and leave matter of state to others?"
"I think she means for us to make this state a better one, something we can all agree on." Rakless stroked his beak thoughtfully. "It does seem at times as though this city's perfect order is merely a tool for more...industrious...varieties of evil. To paraphrase something our wizard friend said earlier, there's always a loophole."

She nods. "Indeed. I'd just like to know what we're supposed to do about this."

Camris leans over to Tenze and whispers, "One thing at a time, my friend."
She nods. "Indeed. I'd just like to know what we're supposed to do about this.""Indeed, devils bring order, maybe not good but they like our country now has order.

She laughs. "Sorry. The whole 'expecting company' thing is making me nervous.

"Company," Ben muses, giving the small folk a quick, if not handsomely charming grin. Their good humor gives a hopeful cast to his normally dark outlook.
"I'm enjoying this company. A little cheer goes a long way in this city."

"I'm enjoying this company. A little cheer goes a long way in this city."
She laughs again. "Us gnomes are also aware of how important cheer is, though for different reasons."
"We should save some of this delicious food and drink for the other guests. Even if they are being rude to our hostess by arriving late."
"Wait, the food was for us?" She sounds surprised. "I figured it was for other guests."
"Wait, the food was for us?" She sounds surprised. "I figured it was for other guests."
Camris blushes. "I should have noticed that you weren't eating anything, Miss Tenze. This meeting has me so distracted."
He then grabs some cheese and fruit and puts it on Tenze's plate.

Ben lets out a large burp.
"Oh, that was inappropriate! Pardon me!"
Ben lets out a large burp.
"Oh, that was inappropriate! Pardon me!"
"Not inappropriate at all, Master Ben. It lets the person who prepared the meal know that you are pleased with it."
Camris belches and smiles.
"Oh. Well, in that case, BUUUUUURRRRRPPP!"
*Bump*
I hope Nameless is okay.

Um, I mean, I would hate it if Nameless was in trouble. ;)
Tenze chokes on her drink. She looks around, and laughs slightly.
Benicio begins to drink heavily, trying to fill the endless void of his loneliness, feeling as if his life no longer has purpose.
"I'll never amount to anything," he thinks to himself, guzzling down another shot of rum.

Tenze makes a strange sort of growl-laugh. "Don't drink so much, it's unhealthy. Have some faith in the gods, don't drown your sorrows."
There, there, Master Ben. Have hope. If we're patient this situation will clear up soon enough.
If there's still interest, I will sacrifice Rakless and try to take over as GM if everyone else approves. I liked all the characters and saw a really strong group here. It would be a shame to just walk away without at least trying a rescue.
Make that four! I still want to play. Just didn't check back for a long time. Ready when you are!

Okay, of the original cast, it does seem like you are still missing the monk. Does that mean Loba is in? If not, I'm fine with that and will place her on a shelf as an arrow to be drawn quickly in the future when the time is appropriate.
