To Heir is Human - Playground 4 Options

[Kiln]

Deagan, yeah...

Deagan walked behind the others and hung his head when he passed guards in the city. Some time ago he'd been caught stealing from the treasury and there were wanted posters everywhere. The group would surely recognize him but if any attempted to turn him in, he would be forced to kill them.

This was not a good idea...

He decided to follow the group silently as if he was a servant to one of them, trying not to focus on the pictures of him that were posted around the city...at least they seemed to be a little generous with his appearance in their drawings...

"Lets find an inn...quickly." Deagan whispered to no one in particular

[Fuzzy Knight]

Hecate

Hecate took of into the shadows, the meeting between him and the mysterious Breton was over, he would surely be visited again, at least he hoped - to claim his reward. Hecate knew he would have to get near the gates, he walked out of the alley taking his hood further down and started wandering slowly against the Traveller's Rest.

Coming up close to the Inn he suddenly spotted a large group of travellers. He got a wicked smile, he knew this had to be the group. He knew he would have to supervise them until he would even think about making a move. He picked up speed as he walked fast into the inn. He suddenly froze in the doorway, he looked back at the group. His eyes simply zoomed in one of them, he seemed... familiar, it was Deagan. The flashback brought him years back, there was a strong friendship between him and Deagan, he thought.
He could feel it all, the stinning and burning pain of the deadly poisoned dagger right in his spine. Deagan betrayed me, for the gold, I should have seen that cominb back then.

Hecate's dear friend Deagan didn't even hesitate to putt a dagger in his back when he found out that one of the nobles they had been hired to kill, left a nearly unthinkable amount of gold and items in his house. Greedy bastarde Hecate thought, before quickly moving into the inn, he positioned himself near the stairway which led upstairs, beyond the stairs was a window which led out to the small yard behind the inn - it was a good escape route, if anything should go wrong.

Telina, Lainlalten

Telina who had followed the others, not saying anything...instead she had been on guard for something dangerous, took Gorrmund a little away from the rest of the group, to talk to him in private.

"Gorrmund, you have to leave us, you must get back to Falkreath, to take up your place as lord there".

Gorrmund stared at her for a second. "Yes, I will, but will you go with me"?, suddenly there waas a tear emnating from his eye, as he aleready knew the answer.

"No, I will not...I must saty and protect Brianna, but remember...I...I will never forget you". Then she gave him a kiss on the cheek, and turned, running as fast as she could towards the group that was entering Lainlalten.

Suddenly she slipped, on a wet rock, and flew headlong into Rahvin...

OOC: Red told me to control his character, so I'll send him back to Falkreath...in case Red decides to return to us.

Rahvin

Rahvin caught Telina just in time to keep her from falling. He supported her until she got her feet firmly back in place.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

Before she could answer, Arygon tossed a bag of coins at him. He caught them and counted them up. It was around a hundred gold pieces; enough for them to rent a few rooms and get a good meal.

[Tellie]

Rahvin

Rahvin caught Telina just in time to keep her from falling. He supported her until she got her feet firmly back in place.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

Before she could answer, Arygon tossed a bag of coins at him. He caught them and counted them up. It was around a hundred gold pieces; enough for them to rent a few rooms and get a good meal.

"Yeah, sure", she said...blushing. There was somnething with Rahvin, something attractive.

She followed the reest of the group into the tavern.

[DarkHunter]

Arygon stepped inside, and being tired from all of the exerise the last few days, pushed the man in front of the stairs out of his way and climbed up to the nearest room and collasped onto the bed, Rahvin would have to be paying for it all, with the money that had just been given to him of course Arygon rolled over and set up his small alchemists set, along with a few Dwemer things. How was he going to fix his sword?

[Dantrag]

Rahvin

Before the innkeeper could stop Arygon for not paying, Rahvin shoved a few coins in his hand.

"I want as many rooms as you can spare, and a meal for all of us." he said to the innkeeper. He paid the innkeeper, and realized that he only had about ten coins left.

He noticed that there was one less meal than there was people, and looked around the room. Where was Gorrmund?

I guess there's one person that would know better than any one. he thought to himself.

"Hey, Telina; where's Gorrmund? Did he get lost or something?"

[Kiln]

Deagan, Traveller's Rest Inn

The Traveller's Rest? Sounds like as good a place as any to hole up for the night...

Deagan caught a glimpse of someone heading into the inn right before them but thought nothing of it, instead he continued walking normally beside the others and going inside. As he walked inside and felt immediately at home, around the bar were lots of people drinking and laughing.

After nearly falling because of the ale on the floor he made his way to the bar for a drink, it seemed that Rahvin had paid for their drinks, food, and beds for the night...good thing too, Deagan searched his pockets and found the gold he'd had before gone.

Where is it? What could have happened to it?

He wondered about it for a few minutes and ordered some of the cheapest brandy to go with his meal. Deagan sat there, eating and drinking near the fire with his legs stretched out.

Finally a bit of peace...

[minque]

Brianna, Traveller´s Rest, Lainlalten

Brianna was far too tired to pay much attention to the commotion involving Rahvin, Telina and in a way Gorrmund.

She noticed Telina sent Gorrmund away under the excuse she was to stay here protecting her; Brianna! She smirked......she very much liked the girl....but the thought of her as a bodyguard was somewhat odd. Brianna Sarethi had always been able to take care of herself, and intended to do so this time as well. And the way the girl just flung herself onto Rahvin!!! It looked very weird in Brianna´s eyes...it looked as if she did it on purpose..

"Telina, dear" Brianna smiled, "If you´re going to protect me, you need to stand on your feet....in the first place!"

She then addressed Rahvin:

"Telina sent him back to Falcreath" she said dryly, "Can we get some food now?"


OOC: Is Ranes also together with the others?

[Dantrag]

Rahvin

Rahvin raised an eyebrow, more clueless than he'd ever been before. He didn't have much time to think about it, though, because just then a waitress came from the kitchens, their tray of food in hand.

"Where do you want this?" the woman asked, and Rahvin pointed to an empty table in reply.

He sat down at the table and immediately began devouring the food, only pausing occasionally to take a sip of water.

[minque]

Brianna, at the table, Traveller´s Rest Lainlalten[U]

Brianna smiled happily as the waitress brought their food, then helped herself to a fairly sturdy meal.

[Aki]

OOC: Is Ranes also together with the others?

OOC: Yep.

Ranes, Teh inn

Ranes had been notably absent from the group briefly when they entered, to stable his horse. Now however, he joined Rahvin at the table and began eating as well, though in a slightly less ravenous manner. As he ate, his mind wandered.

Who did that old guy think he is? All that propechy and crap.

Its' odd, to be travelling with these killers. But, I don't think I should back out now. All this compassion and friendship could be a ploy and they'll kill the two girls and track Gorrmund down later.

Unlikely though. Their feelings seem genuine. But then there is the issue of those that will come to eliminate witnesses. The Errant assassins, the unkilled marks and the rest.

[minque]

Brianna , eating

Even though she was very occupied eating, Brianna noticed Ranes joining them. That pleased her a lot.

"At last...he´s sensible, he´s good.....but why has he been following us from behind?"

[Dantrag]

Rahvin

Rahvin slowed down his eating a bit, mainly because wo women had put themselves down beside him. He slowly chewed his venison while Ranes sat down.

I still haven't heard that one say a word... he thought, but left it at that.

He ate an ear of corn and another slice of venison before deciding that he was full. He pushed the remaining food away from himself before leaning back in his chair.

He was still curious about Gorrmund though. Not that he minded that the man was gone; (Gorrmund seemed the type to think ill of all assassins, no matter the circumstances) he was just curious.

"I can see why Gorrmund would go back to Falcreath, but why did he leave you two behind?" he asked Telina and Brianna.

[DarkHunter]

Arygon woke, when the smells of cooking finally reached his nose. He stumbled down the stairs, crashed into to the man standing by them, a mumbled apology later he was siting with Brianna and Telina, eating evrything he could on his plate, "So Brianna, now what?" Arygon asked as he stopped to lift a bottle of Flin...

Brianna

"That puzzles me also" she said thoughtfully, "But Telina just sent him off back to Falcreath, telling him some gibberish about he should go back and live as a heir....then she wouldn´t go with him...said she must protect me!....hmm from what if I may ask?"

She was also full now....and a slight sleepiness came over her

[ShogunSniper]

Sadril

Sadril walked into the inn, hood over his head, a somber, relaxed look on his face. He sat at the table with the others but declined any offerings of food.

He sat in silence for a while, when he noticed Brianna seemingly getting tired, "Brianna you really shouldn't push yourself so hard in your condition. Why don't you get some rest?" Sadril said as kindly as he could. By condition of course, he was hinting at Brianna's pregnancy, "As for me, I am going to get some rest," he said to everyone as he stod up from the table. He walked towards the stairway and began to climb the steps, not before looking an inconspicuous Hecate in the eye and nodding approvingly.

Sadril opened the door to his room, entered and locked the door behind. Sleeping was hardly what he had in mind. A second story window? In my room? How fortunate.

[Fuzzy Knight]

Hecate

Hecate satt calmly and quiet by his table, he watched the group through the reflection on the mug of ale. He could see the half-breed... the pregnant woman was sitting only feet away. He observed them all, including Deagan. He seemed to be apart of this group, so far it was at least six, seven with the man which went upstairs who had apparently been walking with the group as well. It was going to be hard. Deagan was a thief, the dunmer was clearly a warrior judging from his huge claymore, the two women looked like bow users, a elderly man was also along with the group, the breton had a nice looking Dwemer Crossbow and the last dunmer, looked rather like himself, theif or assassin.

He knew he would have to take the woman while she was alone, or at least with less than all seven of them.

[Kiln]

Deagan, Inn

"Time to turn in..." Deagan said to the others

Deagan stood from his place at the table and thanked the barkeep for the meal, as he was walking to the stairs he looked around to make sure nobody was watching and then pinched a pouch full of gold off one of the patrons sitting at the bar. He tossed the gold and caught it before putting it into his pocket.

All too easy...

With a smile he climbed the stairs and entered one of the rooms, he took his weapons and stashed them in the dresser beside the bed. He kept with him a dagger which he slid under his pillow. He counted the twelve coins he'd just found and sat them in the chair beside the bed.

A full night of sleep would do him some good, he drifted off and fell asleep after only a few minutes...(but will it last till morning?)

Hecate

Hecate noticed Deagan catching some coins before he went upstairs, didn't notice him apparently. Hecate stood up and paid for his drinks before he went up the stairs, he catched Deagan going into his room before he closed the door. Hecate waited a couple of moments, waiting for Deagan to sleep. He knew he could blow this whole deal talking to Deagan, but he had too.

All was clear. Hecate took up one of his lockpicks and simply picked the lock with a small laughter. He opened the door slowly and gently before closing it looking down on Deagan sleeping. He went to the window at the end of the small room and leaned against the wall, resting his hands on his daggers as usual.

"Sleeping already... friend?" Hecate said calmly, waking Deagan.

[Kiln]

Deagan, Inn

Deagan sat up from his bed quickly, shaking off the disorientation and pulling the dagger from under his pillow, nearly falling out of bed. He pointed the dagger toward the man stading in the corner but he couldn't see him clearly enough to tell who he was.

"What do you want? These are my private quarters." Deagan said angrily

Who the hell? It looks like...no it can't be...

Deagan breathed heavily as he stared at the silent man in the corner, waiting for him to say something...anything.
