City of Cresthall

Thank you very much for talking to us, Jarrick, says Hatt, intending to bring the conversation with him politely but firmly to an end.  You've given us a lot to think about.  Take care, pray to the Gods for guidance, and don't lose heart!

If Bennett and Gasp need to talk privately first, that's fine, but please be quick about it.  In any case, let's get a private room where we can all meet up, but I don't think this can wait for long.  We have a lot to settle.

With that, Hatt enters the inn and heads to the private room they used before (paying again if necessary), encouraging the others to join him.

(Oh shit, you did say "all". I can't read. Forget Crispy did that then.)

Ashley shows clear and evident concern and follows Bennett to get to someplace private so he can talk with the group. She looks to Crispy This is serious. We should be patient and keep an open mind. We have known Bennett was more informed about thinks concerning Opsala than us for a while. Maybe he is going to share with us now.

 Bennett glances at Hatt, "No, Jarrick is coming with us. He needs to be there."

 Bennett glances at Hatt, "No, Jarrick is coming with us. He needs to be there."

Really?  Well, it's up to you, I suppose.  Anyway, let's go in.

Jarrick awkwardly shuffles in place, "Um...I got sorta kicked out, I think they'll just kick me out again if I just come back into the tavern."

Well, maybe if you apologize to the management and promise not to make a scene again, they will let you back in. Atleast to speak with is in private maybe. Ashley tries to comfort the man a little.

Crispy looks at Ashley. "Yeah, he better, cuz if these secrets are going to put us in danger, or whatever, i'm not gonna be happy. I already have a bad feeling about everything as it is. But, I will. Because you asked nicely." She shoots Ashley a wink. Then to everyone, "Come. Let us talk, figure things out, and get this over with."

As Hatt is speaking to the waitress and/or tavern owner to arrange the private room, he says:  I'm afraid we need to speak to Mr. Cousland as part of our work.  I understand that you asked him to leave, and I apologise for the inconvenience, but we will keep him with us in the room away from your other customers, we'll make sure he doesn't get out of hand, and we'll escort him out when we're finished.  I hope that's acceptable?  Persuasion: 9

Halfling luck: 9

Jarrick shrugs and heads in. After a moment, a dwavern man carries him out and tosses him into the horse trough. Jarrick slightly groans, "I was walking up to the waitress until the man grabbed me and took me out. Think he just wanted the free drink the biggun got." He pulls himself out of the trough and starts to dry himself.

(Let me know when Karra's done at the guildhall :-) )

As Hatt was talking with the waitress, Jarrick enters the tavern. A dwarven man sees him, rushs over and picks him up. The man then tosses Jarrick out and heads to the waitress, asking for free drinks as well. The waitress shakes her head, "Sorry but that offer already got taken by miss goliath there. And sure, he can come back in once he pays for miss goliath's drinks there. Think she's on the fourth one already."

The small clay golem follows Karra through the streets, setting down the small chest as payment once it arrives at the guildhall. When it leaves the guildhall, it breaks down in the streets. The receptionist bows her head to Karra, "Thank you for your hard work and now we are legally able to hire attendants now. Along with a good word among the nobles and mages there in the royal quarters. And we'll be happy to repay your services with what you ask for, but will that suffice?" The receptionist asks as she brings out a box of uncut gems onto the counter.

Karra takes out money to pay for the raw materials. "Hmm, this will suffice." (Feel free to allot how much the gems would cost). Karra will examine the gems. "Work for the guild is important, yes? Making sure we keep good standing where we go."

Hatt frowns and sighs.  I will pay for the lady's drinks; please let me know how much that will cost.  Hatt pays, and goes back outside.  You can all come in - including you, Mr. Cousland.  Let's get down to business.  We have a lot of ground to cover.  Bennett, I assume you will be opening the discussion, as you seem to know most of what's happening?  With that, Hatt heads inside.

Ashley heads I side to the private area with the rest of the group and Jarrick.

(5 gold from Hatt and Karra no charge, since it was payment for delivering the rings.)

Jarrick follows in, the waitress gives him a look but keeps up with her orders.

Crispy glares back. Just because.

Ashley will take a moment aside with Crispy and whisper to her. I ask that you wait till Bennett has finished his explanations in full before you get stabby please. She leans up and kisses Crispy's cheek softly. Do it for me please. she says giving her girlfriend a doe eyed, clearly manipulative look.

((So sorry, due to the holidays my work has me working every shift known to man.))

Once in a private room Bennett will speak, "This may kill me and maybe Gasp to tell you guys this, but it needs to be said. Back in Cresthall when we took the mission I had the chance to see what Opsola was transporting." He will glance to Jarrick, "Her name was Myra." He looks at the others, "She spoke and it had some sort of effect over me. Like some sort of spell, it drew to me her. It made me crave her voice. Opsola made me swear to secrecy in fear of you guys murdering her. That is how I got the reward raised. During our voyage here, do you guys remember that turtle guy? He was Opsola's friend who was under the same spell. During the battle, Gasp being the little hero he is, ran into the cabin to save someone, turns out it was Myra and now he has the same affliction I do. Whenever we arrived, remember Opsola wanted to speak with Gasp and I in the carriage? He reiterated to us that no one is know about Myra and that, to keep the ailment at bay, should visit her once a day or so... at least. He was to have some rings made to help fight the spell, or as he calls it, curse. He made Myra speak '"Please don't tell anyone about this or my curse, please.' Which I fear will kill me... but you guys deserve to know." He will look at Gasp, "To save you from death do NOT speak a word about anything. I will take the arrow for this. It's my fault you're in the same boat as me." He will put his face in his hands and mutter, "I'm so sorry."

For Virst:

(Uh oh)

As Bennett speaks the name of Jarrick's love, his head starts to ache then it feels like he's being beat with a hammer while screaming is going through his head. To the others, it will appear as the Bennett is having a severe stroke.

(Bennett takes 194 and is knocked unconscious right there, before he could say the rest of his speech.)
