Part 1: The Forgotten Forge (Knight Otu judging) [Concluded]

Weapon sighs and shrugs. "Sharn is a place of secret dealings. Perhaps the Lady did not want others to know, or the guards did not know that she had hired the man. Nothing makes is malfient. I believe our dwarven friend here as volunteered to ask around the details first. Best to do that than ask Cannith directly. They'd probably just try to cut us out of the whole thing and do it themselves. And then we'd have nothing to do."

Del (Mordin the Dwarf)

Mordin nods at Siobhan's words. "I don' think any of us be trustin' anyone over-much. I'm willin' to work with you, but we did all just meet." The dwarf plucks at his beard in silence as the others speak in turn, thinking to himself.

"It's not our place to determine whether or not the Lady be doin' what's right for the world. She's hired us for a job, and we took her money. I don' know about you, but where I come from, a deal is a deal or throats get slit."

"Stulgar, it may be a few hours. I need to talk t' some people. They may send me t'some other people. Y'know how it goes...How about I meet y' here in a few hours?"

[sblock=ooc]That'd be me heading out to use my Gather Information skills and see what cen be found. How do you want me to handle it?[/sblock]

"I agree, we can be cautious, but I feel no need to be paranoid either. Let's Mordin do his investigation and we will see after that if we have to be paranoid." tells the dwarf, happy of the idea of relaxing while Mordin is investigating.

"I neither took her money nor made any indication that I agreed to her terms. If it comes to it, it would be a simple matter to do what we must and then return to her empty-handed and claim the schema was destroyed or simply not there, forfeiting the second payment, of course," Siobhan sighs, "I think many of you respond without taking the spirits into account. You treat this as an ordinary job, when it would be preposterous for the spirits to send visions of such. Remember, we've already has a supernatural occurence and a murder so far in our path to this schema. There is more to this than some kind of new featherduster--do we not care what kind of lasting impact we make on this world? I hope we do."

 

[Velmont]

"Taking the spirit into account? Nope, I didn't, and I don't really care. What I hope is to study these blue print and try to understand them. I am very interested by what the house Cannith have done with the warforged, and I would like to study it more. And now I would have a chance to learn something that even house Cannith doesn't know? That would be great for me. And once I'll have understood it, I can tell you what it is, and after that, money or not, I think this knowledge will value more to mys tsudy than anything else. And if you are scared that i would use it to some dark scheme, well, I can you only give my honor that it is not in any of my plan."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"I am disturbed that you do not care about the spirits, but I would rather have you learn the schema and then destroy it than to blindly hand it over to that woman. For all we know, the Lord of Blades really may be just a story, and this Lady Elaydrin could have killed the old man and blamed it on the Lord of Blades to make herself seem like the 'good guy'. I'm not saying I think that's what she did, but it is certainly possible."

 

[Velmont]

"Well, I don't have your sensibility about the spirits, I am not even sure I understand what you mean by spirits... a day ago, I was calling you lunatics but I gave your chance. There is so many weird thing in this world. I was wrong... at least partly, as your spirits seems to be more than hallucination, but it still a new concept to me. And you know what, I am just like everyone else, I am an egoist. Whatever you choose to do, you do it because you wouldn't be able to live with the weight of the wrong decision, or at least would live better with the choice you made. You care about your spirits and you would have the weight on your conscience if you wouldn't listen to them. A man might follow the law because he couldn't live with the fear of being arrested. The other will steal because he need money more than his freedom, or maybe just because he need food to live.

I am from a family of craftmen who have devellop there art to the price of many sacrifice. It is what we like to do, and I can't deny my heritage, I am just like them. I love all that is mechanical, that's why I am so interested by these schema of house Cannith, and passing aside something that could help me to become a better craftman, even if it means risk my life, I would have difficulty to live with that. that doesn't mean I would kill or sacrifice life for that, but I would be ready to do somethings that other might think to be crazy. I don't know what these blue print hide, but I hope to find out. Maybe be it will be useless to me, but at least, I'll know. And if the house Cannith have trap there forge, I could find some inspiration or knowledge there too."

 

[Bront]

"Sis, I indeed care about the spirits, but perhaps they did intend us to take this mission, for it is the right thing. We certaintly wouldn't be heading where we are if we hadn't trusted enough to look up the Lady, and while you may not feel bound, I did agree to her terms and have her coin right here. Unless we find out something that says her motives are pure evil, I can't see breaking that because you're weary that the spirits moved you for this," Stulgar says. "Perhaps the spirits will speak with you again, or thing will simply become clearer as we go, but I think you're plotting schemes without rhyme or reason Sis."

*Siobhan's eyes widen and then narrow, and she backs away, hurt, to spend some time off to the side, alone.*

 

[Bront]

Stulgar sighs and walks over, giving Siobhan a hug, but says nothing.
