Ongoing Games (In-Character)Play-by-post games are going on in this forum as we speak (well, read). All threads on this board are actual games, so please, only post on a thread if you are a player of that game.
Mister Segith. Fair enough. We are known as the Secret Arm of Hecate, and we have many organizations all over Liis Parre. If you are to accept, we will of course be gad to have you join. We specialize in underground activity and we are enlisted by weathy clients throughout the continent. This manner of buisness, dungeon delving, as it's called, is a little unorthodox, but necessary. Putting it bluntly, our expetices are theft, blackmail, corruption and assasination. Of course, not everyone has need of these services, but we also have many more conventional rewards. Gold, jewels, et cetera.

The story checks out. I know Hecate has a lot of other domains and such, but in Liis Parre she is The Queen of the Dead. As seen here.
I'm glad you agree. The only known set of armor is currently locates in the Brittus mines, not far south from here. However, we have seen that the mine is being protected by the Izvor guards. Luckily for us, there is an alternate entrance. This map shows where it is, in relation to the actual mines. He hands a map to Brand This entrance has been concealed with a hollow stone some time ago, but we've enchented it to glow when one of your amulets draws near. You leave as soon as possible. The cover of night may help throw anyone off your trail.
Brand looks over the map again. "Interesting." He stands up. "Well, in which case, I would like to get to know my companions better. I beleive a round of introductions are in order." He walks to the center of the room, wearing a charming smile and flashing perfect white teeth. "I am Brand," he says, giving a slight bow.

Bardic Knowledge yield anything else that might clue me in to where other armor might be?
Leigh
"Very good. I would, of course, like to work out the terms of our agreement before we embark," he says to Segith.
After Brand's bow, Leigh applauds softly, tapping his the fingers of his left hand on the palm of his right. He looks expectantly at the man standing alone in the center of the room.

Andarius
"As I said, I'm Andarius," he tips his head to the others. "I'm not sure I approve of this action but I'm sure whoever is affected deserves it."

"I assumed, since you had taken the floor, you were going to say something," Leigh says from his spot on the couch. "No matter. As you know, my name is Leigh Lithsayer. Nominally, an actor. At heart, an actor. Commercially, a bit of everything else."
He takes another sip of brandy. And, smiling, another.
"Pleased to meet you all, I'm sure."

"Of course I was," Brand replies, all courtesy. "But it seems you have something to say yourself, and I would hate to stop you. Please," He smiles, sits down, and gestures for Leigh to get on with his business. "Do tell."

"Oh no. I'm sorry. Since you stopped speaking, and they began, I thought you were done. But please, go on. In three short sentences I've shared more about myself than the rest of you combined."
In words, at any rate. Your actions speak loudly. Shout, really.

"Oh, well, if you insist. My main reason for taking the floor is to get to know the people I will be working with better. Group synergy is important at any function. However, we also need to work out some kind of plan. First of all, we need to decide when we shall leave." Brand smiles at Leigh, his voice masking contempt.

"It's probably better if we arrive by day. If nothing else, the glowing rock will draw less attention if the sun is out. Let's meet two blocks south of the West gate an hour and a half before dawn.
"Though if you'd rather go the day after, that's fine with me. I'm in no real hurry."

Dawn breaks on day one of your journy, and a rooster crows somewhere outside, muffled by the walls of the Anict Inn, through the window, you can tell that it's going to be warm and sunny, despite last night's chill. From downstairs, you can smell home cooking from the kitchen-go'ers, getting ready to feed their hungary guests.
Spoiler
I'm giving you guys free reign we you go into town, unless something signifigant happens. Just say something like <enter PC here> begins heading twards <enter plot relevant destination here>, when you want to continue,
Andarius is up even before the rooster breaks the silence of the dawn. After doing his morning callesthenics, he begins to get dressed. Tightening the straps on his chain shirt and lowering his pike, he passes through the door to the common room. He orders some bread, cheese and meat from the bartender and pays. He then heads out into the gloomy morning, impromptu breakfast in hand, and heads towards the gate.

Brand barely slept through the night, wracked with an insomniac half- sleep as usual. He woke up at dawn feeling sombre and angry, with the black rings around his eyes more prominent than usual. He walked out of his room at the inn chewing on dried meat, and heading for the gate dreading to have to deal with these imbeciles, but knowing that it would probably be worth it in the end.

Having slept comfortably in the nearby fields last night (Not to the knowledge of the fields' farmers, however), Lorria almost slept in as she had intended to the last day were it not for a large beetle the crawled up her nose. Waking up in a splutter of sneezing, she looked around and spotted the sun breaking over the horison.
"Oh that's right, I was going to go hang out with those folks from last night wasn't I?"
Rousing Angelo from his own slumber, she headed off with him towards the town gate to meet up with the others.
Leigh's a bit late, smiling ruefully but not hurrying unduly as he heads to the appointed street corner. He's expecting to see the other three waiting for him, but surprised to find only Andarius there.
I probably shouldn't be surprised. Shouldn't have such high expectations.
He nods his head to the soldier, offering a firm hand.
"Morning, man. Good to see you here."
He pauses for a moment, and smiles a bit.
"How long d'you think we'll be waiting for the others?
"You seem the sort a man can rely on. I don't mind sharing with you that I'm... not so certain about the others."

Reason: tag error
Brand arrives soon after Leigh, and gives him and the soldier a contemptuous grin, starting to rue his choice to work with them, but knowing it's for the best. "It seems we are still one short"

As she and Angelo arrive at the gate last to find everyone there, Lorria greets them all with a warm smile.
"Hey you guys, sleep well? Must say I had a pleasant nap, but a rather rude awakening!" She laughs to herself before waiting to head off with the others.
