Re: Passage to Paradise
As you walk in the shop door your father is just putting aside his morning's work.
"How did it go? Wait, don't tell me. Come upstairs and have lunch, and tell your mother and me at the same time."Originally Posted by The Giant

Re: Passage to Paradise
Your mother herta you both with a smile, and a kiss for tour father. "So, how did it go? Did Fathers Feodor find time to talk?"

Re: Passage to Paradise
Your mother exclaims "you've been accepted into the clergy? That's wonderful!"
Your father just eyes your new equipment doubtfully.Last edited by madtinker; 2014-05-27 at 12:00 PM.

Re: Passage to Paradise
They glance at each other, confused. "You mean, the ones who left and never returned? The ones who went outside the wall and all died?" your father asks, slowly.

Re: Passage to Paradise
"The ones who went outside the wall and never returned, yes. Father Feodor suspects they may still be alive and may have knowledge about the recent unusual creatures outside the wall." I add with emphasis, "I think he is correct. I know it is dangerous, but it is also important."

Re: Passage to Paradise
Your mother is holding back tears, but your father can barely contain his excitement.
"Will anyone be going with you?" she manages to ask.Originally Posted by The Giant

Re: Passage to Paradise
This seems to mollify her a little, but then she says, "Why does it have to be you at all though? Can't Tom and the hunters handle it?"

Re: Passage to Paradise
"If the goal was to attack them that might work, but to find and negotiate with them -- to find out what they know and if they can help -- that isn't something I'd trust a mob of hunters to do. Tom by himself maybe, he's a good guy, but San Angriel needs him leading his men at the wall. That is especially true if I don't find them and come back empty handed."

Re: Passage to Paradise
She nods, trying to accept. "I'll redouble my morning prayers while you're gone."
"Well Tobias, I'm proud of you. If Tom tells me true, you'll be able to take care of yourself well enough," your father offers.Originally Posted by The Giant

Re: Passage to Paradise
As you gather any other gear you might have left at home, your mother fills a small bag with hard bread, cheese, dried meat, nuts, and dried fruit.
"Where are you going to start looking?" your father asks.
OOC: you now have four days of trail rations.Originally Posted by The Giant

Re: Passage to Paradise
"Tom was able to point out a rockface that has a wall that looks to be crafted, so I figure that will be a good place to start."
OOC: About how far away did the wall appear to be?about 10 miles, I had forgotten that detail was previously posted.

Re: Passage to Paradise
Your father smiles and nods. "Wouldn't want the little tykes trying to follow you, eh?"

Re: Passage to Paradise
She nods, kisses your cheek and says, "good luck, come back safe."
Your father gives you a hug. "Want me to walk you out to the gate, son?"Originally Posted by The Giant

Re: Passage to Paradise
With a last wave to your mother you set out.

Re: Passage to Paradise
"Just that we never heard back from them should have been reason enough. By Pelor's grace maybe they'll be penitent by now and ready to give up their dark ways."
