Mags

Nera sat down on one of the plush sofa's, hoping she wouldn't get dust on it, and trying not to think about how muddy her boots were. She hated tall-men seating, he legs were always too short to touch the floor. It was very hard to get people to take you seriously when you had to sit like a child. One of the adventurers was indeed, someone who Alvar recognized. They don't seem to notice, or recognize him, however. @Dragonheir

"No, Ma'Tani's handling it fine on her own."

"Then unlearn it for heavens sake! That is not healthy."

"Uhh did Ma'Tani get them?" He turned to the easterner. @The Bookwyrm August gives him a very stern look. "Oh . . ." July said as Arke reappears

"No you can't just--please don't murder anyone," August said, with his best 'parenting' voice. "Yeah, I wasn't really paying attention but that witch hunter guy came back and dropped a torch. It's a good thing you were out."

"Murder is a bit much, don't you think?" August replied. "There you are!" July exclaimed. "The tavern caught on fire!!"

August gives him a weird look, clearly not understanding. "No, not at all," July said, concern creeping into his voice. "She wasn't in her room?" "She wasn't upstairs when I went," August added.

August was there when they got out. "Are you alright?" He asked July as he handed him his pack. Even though the younger man was untouched except for a little ash on his clothes, he looked deeply worried. "I'm fine . . . I think everyone made it out alright."

July grabs his hand and pulls him out of the building after him. He didn't have any more time to wait around.

July ran up to him. "No use in saving the building now, get out okay buddy?"

"LETS GO, EVERYONES OUT ALREADY."

"HOLY--" "I'll get our stuff," August said, smoothly standing from a nearby table and going up the stairs. July turned his attention to the patrons of the tavern, guiding people out and trying to avoid chaos. Hopefully everyone could get out in time. As the last tavern-bum was herded out, he turned back to the burning building. "Robert?" He yelled. - - - Meanwhile, August got July's pack from his room for him, and then went to his own room. It was untouched expect for his fine jacket thrown over a chair. He shrugged it on, before jumping out the room's window as well.

"Exactly!" Penn was doing his best to be enthusiastic for the others even though he was just as confused. "I'm sure what we do next though."

"Okay!!" @TheRavenHasLanded "Sleeper we got the thing for the thing!"

"Oh! Well, you don't need to be! He might be a little rough around the edges but he's super nice and super cool and he's my best friend! We can totally trust him."

"Okay!" He got his apron and tray. "I'll get started." "Uuum I'm not actually sure on the plan . . . Robert's pretty tight lipped." July glanced at August, and then back at Ma'tani innocently. "What do you mean? Of course he'll help us, this is August we're talking about."

July got up and changed quickly, heading downstairs to look for Robert and start his work for the day. August was still sitting at a table in common room. A half-downed drink sat by his hand on the table, and he seemed lost in thought. By all appearances he'd sat there all night, or at least he'd stayed up the latest and woke the earliest.

Cursing, Aki dives out of the way as the rocks start to fall. "Why didn't I bring my bow?" All he had was his Katana and his hunting knife. Neither would be great as a throwing weapon, and he couldn't really jump at the eagles because they'd have more maneuverability in the air.

"Sure!" Penn said. He was getting a little bored anyway. "Did we get the bait thing for the BBEG guy?"

He couldn't immediately sense any. He gave her a kindly smile. "If you'll all sit down, Lady Genuhk will explain how things will proceed."

Lerren made a little huff. "Well, Duke Ehlu is the richest man in Terjin. Of course a mere lobby is well below him, but he has a mind to put on a good impression in all stations." They continued down the red carpet, passing a few counters and waiting areas. "I've had plenty of chances, I just didn't take any of them because I'm a decent person," Nera grumbled to herself. Lerren smirks at their comments. Perhaps, despite his praise he wasn't a fan of the duke. He brought them to another large, ornate pair of double doors. These ones were made of honey coloured wood, and it was less of a struggle for him to open them. Beyond was a richly furnished sitting room. Everything was covered in velvet and hung with tassels. Gold embroidery on all the fabric, and gold inlay on things that couldn't be embroidered. Most of the sofa's and cushions were along the edge of the room, leaving a large space in the middle. "Don't touch anything, and don't let anything find it's way into your pockets." Lerren whispered to the group as they entered. Master Igeni was seated in a hard wooden chair in one corner. He was a spindly old man, and his robes hung off of him like he was made of wire. He stroked his silver-grey beard as they entered. Igeni wasn't alone in the room though. A tall muscular human woman with tan skin was next to him. She stood proudly, and her leather armor creaked a little as she shifted. Her dark eyes skinned the group in skeptical way. A few others sat on the chairs on the rooms edge. They also looked like other adventurers and mercenaries but were (and no offense) more finely dressed then Nera and her group. Likely, they were famous people who'd gotten specific invitations. "Welcome!" Igeni said, standing slowly from his chair with the help of a knobley cane. "Your here for the Bodyguard position?" His voice had an odd cadence that made him sound disinterested. Lerren rolled his eyes. "Yeah, these are the guys."

Awwww but I love Jasnah , oh well lol, she's a pretty controversial character. Strawberry cream cheese is awesome!
