"Your drink, m'am. And sir." ~ Sauntering over with the audacity of a rebellious child, Jimmy deposits the mugs in front of the noble couple.

"What's your name, boy?" ~ Cora watches on in fascination as he makes to return to the counter. ~ "Jimmy! And don't ask Jimmy-what. I don't know and don't want to!" ~ A big scowl on his petulant face ~ "People oughtta mind their own business, they oughtta! hey, let me go!" ~ Struggling to break free from Tobias' grip.

"It's touching that you care so much for me after all these years, Tobias..." ~ Cora throws him an ironic smile ~ "But really, we shouldn't be seen bullying a helpless child, should we?"

"That's right! Didn't yer Pa teach ya to pick someone yer own size?" ~ Nevertheless retreating a few steps for safety, the bright-eyed boy glares at Tobias sullenly ~ "I've a right to my own business, I do!"

"Shut your mouth, you runt!" ~ Tobias steps forward, murder in his eyes, striking fear in everyone's hearts ~ "You, Oxley!" ~ His voice turning quiet ~ "I've old scores to settle with you and that'll be soon enough, I assure you." ~ The barkeeper trembles visibly, remembering his treatment of the then-vagabond ~ "But for now, you'll do something real simple." ~ He throws a glance at Cora.

"Yes, Oxley... something really simple." ~ She flashes a set of pearly white teeth ~ "You'll find that lady for us. You know which one we mean." ~ Downing the beer in one gulp, she slams down the mug ~ "... and if you don't, within the next 24 hours..." ~ She shrugs helplessly, getting ready to leave.

"... you'll wish you had been a little more cooperative." ~ Tobias finishes, holding his hand out to his wife. They leave the tavern almost as abruptly as they had entered, with one mug of beer untouched.

ELIZA

Galadria · 05-15-2002, 08:29 PM

ELIZA(As the army settles down to rest for the night, she demurely goes about her business of setting up the tent and fetching dinner from the communal pot. Blandamour has not said anything about the preceding night, and she will leave it like that.)

Attalus · 05-16-2002, 08:23 AM

SIR BLANDAMOUR(He takes the stew that Eliza has brought him. Their gazes lock and she smiles, then lowers her eyes. What has he done?, he wonders. Are they to be lovers, then? The word would soon be all over the camp - the Order being close-knit and gossipy as such organizations tend to be. She is his squire. If he sent her away, she would be disgraced and few others would take the chance of taking on the former squire of Blandamour of the Iron Arm. She might fall into evil ways, be cast out of the Order, and then be damned again at death. No, he concludes, it is his duty to stay by her in this. But, he must caution her to be discreet.)"Fine stew tonight, Eliza."

Galadria · 05-16-2002, 09:06 AM

ELIZA "Indeed, my Lord,it is good to eat after such a long day of riding. I am more than happy to see to my Lord's needs. Such happiness, I have never known." (She smiles winsomely)(She thinks, well, he is definitely mulling the situation over. He seems to be trying, awkwardly, to be nice. What a sweet man!)

mistral4543 · 05-16-2002, 10:17 AM

The white-haired old lady arises groggily, nodding her thanks slowly as helpful hands aid her movement from her seat. Making her way towards Oxley painstakingly, she signals for the bill and deposits a handful of coins onto his plump, outstretched palm. At his puzzled stare, she emits a shaky cough, doubling over in agony. Behind, Jimmy watches in horrid fascination.

"Good Mother, you really should not be wandering around such a city as this." ~ Oxley speaks at long last, scrutinising her plain, coarse clothing ~ "What brings you here to Korrup Shun? Tis not a fair city for the likes of fragile folk like you." ~ Gasps as he realises that she is mute, and perhaps, even deaf ~ "Hmmph... how shall I put it?" ~ Scratches his head.

The woman tilts her head, eyeing him curiously, her face crumpled as an orange peel. She studies the barkeeper, then Jimmy, before turning away and shuffling off.

"Isn't she odd?" ~ The barkeeper harrumphs once more, before returning to his usual task.

"Creepy's the word." ~ The youth shudders, remembering her silvery hair, her yellow teeth, her wrinkled skin, her sparkling eyes... ~ "Wait a mo, Oxley!"... ~ Sparking eyes? An old lady? ~ He stops wiping the table, deep in concentration ~ Her brows... her face... ~ Suddenly, Jimmy gives an alarmed cry and dashes to the barkeeper ~ "That old lady! She's the one you're looking for! The scar! I remember the scar!!"

"What are you babbling abou...?!" ~ The barkeeper's face turns ashen ~ "Oh Heavens, she's escaped! After her, Jimmy! Robert! Patrick! AFter that lady!!!" ~ He stands immobile, his lips moving with incredible speed and hands turning clammy and trembling.

OOC>>> Hey, Elif, which part are you unsure about?

Let's see if I myself can remember! [img]tongue.gif[/img] Here goes...

Quick Recap of Events

Legolas and Sorsha are out exploring the woods, standing by the edge watching the magnificent view below.

Oxley, Tobias, Cora and Isaura in the city of Korrup Shun. Everyone is now after the illusionist mage, whose old-lady disguise has been exposed by the observant Jimmy.

Baazguul still waging war against those warlords whom he strives to relieve of their lands. The evil Britomart is still his ally, though currently not much in action.

Addison, Skye, Kishin, Raymond and TAO are now heading away from the tavern, having received news that a major ambush/battle is about to take place there.

Blandamour and Eliza have met up with Sanael and are in the midst of a battle.

Lastly, the lovely pink-armoured Galadria has sadly been overlooked in the whole scheme of things...

Skye smirked and gave Addison a flourishing bow. "Skye, half-elf at your service," she grinned. "I'm a blade bard, so I know the small oddity of spells, I have good fighting technique, albit a little flashy, and I can always boost the moral of the general populace, let alone find out any number of secrets and tales. I'm good at sneaking around and befriending locals." Experimentally, she thought in her head. 'Can you hear me? Well, if you can, I have a helpful ally, but he is to only be contacted in dire DIRE need.' Watching as keshin disapeared, she gave a small sigh of envy. "Aw, I wish I knew how to do something like that. I only know odds and ends of things, nothing like that though."

Cerek the Barbaric · 05-17-2002, 08:30 AM

OOC>> Good recap, mistral, but you forgot Madman. He is with Addison, Kishin, Skye, TAO, and Raymond.

Addison answered Skye's mental question in a like manner ~ "Yes, I can. But my ability comes from an arcane spell and is only temporary. I do not have the powers of the mind exhibited by Kishin" ~ He then turns to Madman.

"That only leave's you, rogue. You promised an explanation in the tavern. Now is as good a time as any. And remember, I will know if you try to lie."
