Robin looks to Kocino before looking at Gilded and Drez before finally looking to Gwen. He gives a slightly nervous chuckle and nods.

"Ya know.. Somehow I think the men will love to help outside of the shadows."

"Without stealing yes?"

"Haha yes yes I understand, from now on Glazing Winds helps itself.. Properly. We'll have to do a lot to regain the trust of outside merchants. Also Drezmir... About my eyes I'll have to talk with Simon with you all later. Hopefully we can get him to undo it huh?"

Gwen had nodded at Gilded before listening about Corvus and this "Orb." Until Corvus had appeared with the bag in question. She had decided she would ask Gilded more about the matter later.

Gwen's deception to Corvus as her guard is raised around him.

Gwen looks back to Drezmir with a nod and a smile.

"I'd like to go together if possible! First let's get you all rested up! We'll have medical attention at the tavern but it's only first aid sadly. Than feel free to drink and eat as much as you want!"

Gwen notices Amon in Jess and Gilded's custody she tilts her head a moment confused.

"Is this the thief? Have you two decided not to arrest him? I'm sure you have you're reasons Gilded you've always been a firm believer of the law I trust you. I just.. Am mostly curious to be honest."


Robin see's Amon and walks up to the young thief.

"Wait a second.. A fairy thief... That makes me think.."

Robin had spent plenty of time in the underbelly of Glazing winds as a thief.. Well former thief himself. He knew he somewhat recognized the description of this person but... Why was that?

INT/History Check to recall further.

Gilded had told Corvus exactly how he felt when he had returned. Gwen turned to see Corvus shoot right back. Would this group truly stay united toward the capital? Any stranger looking in would wonder if a fight was about to break out.

OOC

They did bring Amon with them ^^

(Alrighty then)

Suddenly Corvus realizes that Jess and Gilded have brought someone with them. He had not noticed the small fairy before due to Gilded's rude words, but now that he has, he recognizes the thief immediately, "I'd never thought I'd see you again little fly." he growls, "It seems you weren't able to slip out of this one were you." A clinking noise can be heard from within Corvus's right sleeve. His expression, while still irritated, has changed to an almost satisfied look. "It seems these men are more competent then I had thought." He walks over to stand a few feet away from the fairy, while making sure he is out of arms reach, and looks him over.

Gwen fails to hide her facial expressions from Corvus, seeing a look of distrust in Gwen's eyes when he handed her the bag. It's clear she can tell Corvus didn't hand the bag over from the goodness of his heart. His actions aren't being questioned but it's clear his motives are being doubted.

"I cannot say I understand your logic or your morals. You say it's wrong for me to keep the orb and you still say I'm wrong to return a bag of gold to it's owner. At this point, I don't think I can do anything right in your eyes. Not that I care what you think anyways. I see no reason why i need to please you, so don't expect me to try."

Gilded looks at Corvus and replies.  "I never said you were wrong to keep the orb, I said you were wrong for thinking you got to decide who kept what.  I don't remember anyone in the group saying it was ok for you to decide what you kept and what you gave to the rest of us.  And walking up to something first and grabbing it while the rest of us help the wounded shouldn't make it yours."  Looking at Drez, he continues "Or as soon as someone like Drez hands it to you shouldn't make it yours either."

"I most certainly never said it was wrong do give the gold back, I simply asked if you found anything 'like the orb', that you decided was yours to keep without consulting anyone else.  You know, during all this time you were conveniently lost in the manor alone."

Gilded is surprised at how many people seem to know the fairy.  Unsure what to make of it, he remains quiet but attentive to what eveyone is saying.  The fact this fairy seems to know Robin and Corvus tells Gilded that the thief (Amon) is probably not to be trusted either.

Corvus is slightly disapointed that he was unable to shake Gwen's distrust, but he supposes it was a bit to much to ask.

Corvus looks at Gilded again, "As I said, I do not condone stealing. I was not lost in the manor. I came back to the group as quickly as I could. If you are concerned with petty thievery, look no farther than this one." He points at Amon with his left hand.

Amon's eyes light up when he sees the grumpy old bird. "Corvus, my old friend! So good to see you!" He completely ignores all of Corvus' slights to both his situation and gives him a wickedly pleasant smile. "How have you been? Any other weapons you have your eye on?" He winks, still not addressing any of the Aaracockra's comments.

(Are Amon's hands free, or were they tied behind his back or something?)

Vex is watching, just waiting for the group to go to sleep. He knows what will happen, and as the clocks strike down, he gets ever so slightly more worried on the inside, but never shows it. He doesn’t want to trouble his group. If anything, he’ll just disappear. They don’t have to be paranoid the whole time, they just need to get some rest.

Drez looks to Robin, "I'm glad it worked out. ...And we'll see what we can do about our Simon issue. I was planning on asking him about it when Gwen and I go to see him."

When Gwen mentions resting he laughs and says, "I can keep going for a while yet. ...but I suppose I'll see what my comrades wish to do. Perhaps I'll go see if I can find some game for Kocino." He is clearly not in prime condition, but he doesn't want to risk transforming again anytime soon. He needs to figure out how he can control that...or get rid of it. He's not sure if the transformation is linked to whatever the fox is trying to do to him or if it is simply a new power emerging from the ritual. ...does that change anything? He knows what he is, what he was made from and made to become, but this...he's not sure how to feel about it right now.

He does his best not to get involved in Corvus and Gilded's conversation. Instead he looks to the fairy and says, "Ah, so this is the thief. You caught him awful quickly." He smiles, "I guess splitting up wasn't necessary after all." He addresses the fairy, "So...what's your name? You seem familiar with Corvus here, how do you know him?" He laughs, "And what gave you the impression that robbing the manor was a good idea?"

Robin looks at Amon recalling at least a little bit but not everything (with his 13)


"I could be wrong.. But I'm sure this guy's a crime boss around these parts. Which mens.. Where are you're men.. Amon. I think I remember my men getting in scrapes with you're dumb brutes."

Gwen looks to Gilded when he says "someone like Drez hands you the orb." To Corvus, "someone like Drez?" Gwen was.. A bit confused hurt even. Odd because it wasn't her but.. Gilded and Drezmir were friends what had he meant? Looking to Drezmir she never saw him grow worried or angry with Corvus. Even when she shared that he had stolen from them before. Perhaps Gilded hadn't disliked Drezmir.. He meant only that Drezmir was too trusting. In that? Perhaps she understood but part of her didn't like how it was phrased though it didn't affect her relationship with Gilded just something she thought on. She wanted to change the subject tell them to relax at the tavern if they wanted but they seemed to be in the middle of an important conversation.

OOC
Up to Jess/Gilded if Amon was bound or not ^^

So this would basically be "Downtime" till they talk to Simon.

They can hang out in the tavern.

Go shopping.

Talk to NPC's.

Maybe gather information about the area.

the woods nearby or the capital or maybe something else entirely.

If you all wanna do a timeskip on the downtime. Say the party/rested at the tavern. For those with important conversations.

(For example Gwen may stop a few members later for 1 on 1 talks.)

Those people who have those talks can be done in private PM's etc. 

So just let me know in the group chat or in PM's if you want you're character to simply rest/timeskip or what you want to do with you're downtime.

Feel free to ask me if you have any questions ^^
Just thought I'd offer for those who'd wanna say their characters celebrated but not actually play the whole scene out if they prefer.

Jess would not have bound Amon. I don’t think Gilded mentioned it either.

She is content with commander’s precautions against Simon. She has no personal interest in interrogating him.

Hearing of Kocino’s request, Jess would offer to shapeshift into a wolf and catch rabbits for him. She doesn’t want to hunt in the forest, remembering what happened there last time, but out in the fields there should be rabbits aplenty for a wiley wolf to find.

In the evening she would take part in celebrating at the tavern.

Given a chance to talk more with the group later, she would suggest that the group offer to help Amon by catching the henchmen of this Outlands boss that may be coming for him. Then perhaps this Outlands criminal could be tracked and disposed of, since he is running operations to the detriment of Glazing Winds.

Gilded did bind Amon when he took his weapons,  but they can be bound in front.

Unless someone else wants to talk to him, Drezmir will go hunting as well. He's looking for somewhere with trees that isn't the forest where we saw the undead. 

If Gwen or anyone else wants to talk to him, he will let Jess do the hunting for now and stay with whomever wants to speak with him instead. 

If he goes hunting, he'll try to find a deer or a boar...something with a lot of meat on it. If he doesn't find anything within a few hours, he'll head back. If he manages to get something, he'll head back to the tavern right after.

Survival check (For if he goes out): 23

(OOC: If Gwen wants to talk to him 1 on 1, I'm fine with doing it in a PM or on the main thread. Whichever is easier. :) )

Corvus glares daggers at Amon but doesn't respond. After a moment, he looks at Gilded and the guards. "I assume you took his weapons? Good. The sword he was carrying doesn't belong to him. It's a magical artifact that should never have been in the hands of one such and him. Don't let him out of your sight. He's a slippery one. Don't be fooled by his worm-tongued word's either, he'd talk you into selling him your soul for nothing but a rat's tail if he could." After speaking, he straitens, and looks to the others. "Since it appears i am no longer needed, I'm heading to the tavern." He turns stiffly, still making sure to be out of arms reach of Amon, and starts walking towards the tavern. "If any of you wish to find me, I'll be in my room."

Gilded looks at Amon.  "How do you know Corvus?  And is Robin correct, are you the actual leader, and not just a hired gun?"

"Dammit, I told them to stay out of trouble." Amon mutters, furrowing his brow. "Did they break anything? That money's coming out of my pocket, if they did." He looks to his hips, and you can see it suddenly hit him that they took away his gold. "Not that I have any to spare, anyways. I'm gonna be in so much trouble if I get back." He looks around and notices Corvus staring particularly hard in his direction. "Aw, why so cold? You look like you want to kill me." Putting his hands to his heart, he pouts his lips in a flattered smile and waits for him to finish speaking. "And you know what, Corvus, I think that's the best thing anyone's ever said to me." He wipes an invisible tear from the corner of his eye. "Thank you." As Corvus walks away, he lifts up his hands and waves them. "Have fun!" His tone is annoyingly singson-y on purpose. He turns to Robin and Gilded, seemingly satisfied. "Well, not really. I prefer to work alone whenever I'm sent a task from above, and" he shrugs, "the boss insisted that I had some backup for this job. I told them to stay around the corner and to not move until I gave them a signal. I guess that's all gone down the drain now. So I'm the boss of these guys for today, but when push comes to shove I'm just a lowly henchman."

Kocino goes to the inn and begins cooking a large meal for the group. He uses what he has found, the game brought in by his party, and whatever else he needs, he will buy from the town.

Corvus pointedly ignores Amon’s words as he continues on his way. The faster he can get away from that annoying flea the better. 

Once he gets to the tavern, he orders a drink and a small bit of food, then heads to his room, locking the door behind him.

Drezmir goes off to hunt with Kocino and perhaps even Jess as well! Gwen had decided to tag along. She wasn't much of a hunter nor was she stealthy but she'd simply stay in the back. It was more so to see them off for it wouldn't be much longer before they'd leave Glazing Winds tomorrow. Robin however had stayed behind with Gilded and Amon. Drezmir was fast on the hunt with his crossbow looking for tracks. It wasn't long at on the field mainlands that he saw boar tracks. He was following them for some time making fairly good progress. It wasn't long before he found the boar 60 feet away. How would they approach the boar however? Gwen was staying far back however as to not give them away. Robin looks to Amon for a moment with raised eyebrows.

"Right, well I can't say I've any room to judge you. Though I'm sure Gilded will keep a close enough eye on you. 

Kocino heads to the tavern waiting for the game for Drezmir to bring. The orc bartender allows Kocino free reign in the kitchen as the bar is in full swing of it's celebrations.

"Here here! To the heroes of Glazing Winds!"

As Corvus orders his food Kristoph does so quickly and doesn't charge Corvus either. Corvus had told Gilded earlier that Amon had a magical weapon. Gilded who had taken Amon's weapons had now seen such a weapon. It was a sword with a rose on it's hilt and a flame Insignia. It certainly stood out to be sure.

Gilded listens to Amon and Corvus go back and forth before Corvus walks off toward the Inn.  "Your a sassy one aren't you.  All bound up and still no fear.  I think I like you already.  Hungry, lets go have a beer and some food." 

Gilded looks at Robin and then at Amon again.   "Not sure I can untie you, you seem like the kind that could get away in a hot second, you got some skills I would think."  Gilded starts to lead him to the Inn.  "Coming Robin?" 

He focuses his attention back to Amon as he looks at the sword.  "I like the blade. I promise, I wont steal it, but tell me about it."

Jess in wolf form will stalk around the boar with intent to harry it towards Drezmir.
