LotR roleplay: sometime in the first age

[Sythe]

"These silver back furs must be worth much. I doubt these kind of furs are common in this reigon. With the money we receive after selling them, we would donate the gold to the poor so they can purchase clothes and food."

[Larry_OHF]

Turin

"What my brother has said is true. The money will buy many people appropriate necessities.

We also asked that we be allowed to become citizens of this town, and you suggested we prove our loyalty by performing this deed.

Will you now honor our request?"

Lord Easthome

"Oh, yes I nearly forgot about that part of the agreement. Of course I shall allow you to become citizens. You have performed a task at which I had already lost dozens of men. Incidentally there is a house at the western edge of the town, the occupants of which deceased in the last three days. You can have it for twelve thousand gold pieces if you wish."

"About the poor and the wolf furs. If you give me four of the furs I shall halve this month's taxes for the poorest in the town. Will you accept that?"

For Terias and Kirûn: OOC: since Terias said he wasn't going to be available for some time, I'll just move it along a bit.

Terias and his human companion opened the gate by turning the big wheel. The human walked over to Kirûn and introduced himself:

"I am called Oronuin. I have been a slave here for several years now. Lead the way out of here."

[Sythe]

Roland faces Turin "It might mean less for us but it would mean more gold for the people who need it more than we do."

Turin

It sounds like a fair and reasonable agreement. I will pay what you asked, and give you the furs for the taxes you mentioned. Thank you for your help. If that be all, I would like to be shown this house now that we have purchased.

For Turin's group:

The new guard captain led them towards a house on the edge of the town.

While they were going towards the house none of them noticed an elf observing them from a window of a two storey house.

It was a one storey house with two bedrooms in it, a decent sized kitchen and a room with a fireplace and several paintings on the walls. Apart from the paintings and the furniture everything had been removed from the house.

"This house was that of my predecessor."-said the guard captain.

OOC: Therlion has spotted that Turin, Robyn and Roland have returned.

Roland looked around their home and a faint smiled slowly appeared. I feel although it has been ages since we all slept on soft beds. He wandered away from everyone else and continued looking everywhere in the house. His leg still pained him whenever he walked, thankfully though each hour the pain seems to ebbing away a little.

OOC>>Correct me if I am wrong, but was not the new captain of the guard referring to his predessesor being the former captain of the guard, in which case that was the "good-guy" son of the evil guy that owns this city? The one we met on the road? I do not want to dig back to find the page, so yell at me if I am wrong. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Turin

Turin kept silent but in his head he was trying to sort out what had just been learned. Obviously, this was the home of the previous Captain and now he was gone. What had happened to him? What had the Lord said about this place and how it had come to be available? Turin cursed his ignorance and took his mind off of it by wondering about the elf. Where was he in all this city? It was near time to make the move, and if the elf had been able to, he'd have seen enough of this city to have a plan formulated on attack time, who to remove, and how to sneak about. They just had to find him now.

OOC>>>Have we been left to ourselves now, or is the guard captain still with us?

[Bozos of Bones]

OOC: nope, the captain was the man who was beheaded yesterday. A conspirator who had no idea that the son was actually on his side.

IC: Therlion walked until he was close enough to the house to try and read a mind, but not close enough to be seen. He saw Roland standing just outside the house and he thought "Turn. Just turn." He got ready to probe the man's mind, hoping he would recognise the feeling and turn to see who was doing it. Taking one last look around himself, to make sure he wasn't noticed he started.
