Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

Sylvia had to make sure that a disgusted look didn't crawl onto her face when she smelled the booze on his breath. She just hoped that the fact that he had been drinking will be making it easier to convince him. When he asked, she answered "Actually, I am an adventurer. And I am looking for other adventurers to hire for a caravan heading to Gransys," She then pointed to Shortfang and she asked the guard, hoping to appeal to their lazy as well as logical side, "I would like to take the kobold off of your hands. Since the caravan will be leaving this camp, you don't have to worry about him lurking about anymore, and the caravan can have a bit more protection. It's a win-win proposal! What do you say?"

Sylvia moved a bit closer and she listened to his advice. She nodded and answered quietly "OK. Got it. Let's see what I can do first. If I can't convince them, then I'll get your stuff to you at night," She then stood up and told Shortfang, "Hold on a sec,"

She then decided to try and talk to one of the guards. She decided to try and talk to the fat guard with the key rings first. She approached him and called, "Excuse me, Sir?"

Sylvia answered honestly, "This is not a trick, nor a lie," She was not really surprised when he asked his next questions. She answered Shortfang, "My friends and I are in a position where we need as much help as we can get, and someone suggested I try asking you. Plus, you seem like you could use a friend or two right about now. I'll try and talk to the guards and see if I can't convince them to let you out,"

Sylvia couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the guards. She decided to approach the kobold first and talk to the little guy first. Hopefully she can get more of an idea as to what kind of...person this kobold is.

Soon enough she was standing in front of his cage. She noticed that he was having a hard time looking at her, but also wanted to keep some distance from her. So she settled for resting on one knee in order to talk with the kobold, eye to eye without the sun blinding him. She answered him, "No, I'm not here to talk about the stealing. I know you didn't do it,"

She then continued, "Shortfang...that's your name, correct?" She then asked the kobold, "How do you feel about traveling with a caravan in return for being freed from this prison?"

While Sylvia was disappointed that many of them weren't interested in joining, she did thank them politely for the advice and information they gave her. She mentally noted the dwarf prowling about on the roads. Why would he be hunting for the bandits? Curious. Then there was a lead to an immediate ally. At the mention of the thief, she couldn't help but wonder if the thief was Dirk. Did he strike this camp before going to steal from Cassari? Maybe he was stealing from both at the same time given his camp was near the path.

She answered the man, "I see...I'll try convincing the guards. Thank you for your help, I appreciate it,"

Once she had the information and said her good-bye to the warrior with the dog, she headed for the isolated area in order to see the kobold and see if she could befriend and free the little guy.

OK! XD

17!

Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

Sylvia thought about the suggestion before nodding and answering, "Yeah, sounds good to me! We can meet back up at Tent 27 when we're done and compare notes," While Sylvia wasn't confident in her own conversational skills, she could see that she had more of a conversational spark than Pylia. Plus, she was looking forward to meeting other people.

Once she had agreed to the plan, she said to Pylia, "See you at Tent 27, I'll go and find some mercs," She then headed off towards where she could find where the mercenaries or adventurers seemed to like spending time the most. She had a feeling she'll have an easier time recruiting there.

At the sound of the man's disclaimer, Sylvia decided not to leave her stuff at Tent 27. But she decided to keep the number in mind. At the offer of the meal, she also politely declined, "Not right now, thank you," She then turned her attention back to Pylia. She told Pylia, "Dirk gave me a lot of information about the road ahead yesterday. I can share what he told me. I don't mind looking for more information on the road ahead, but maybe we should focus more on finding fellow adventurers to join Ferric?"

Sylvia followed Pylia's lead. When they passed the religious folk in a shouting match, she let out a quiet but annoyed sigh. But other than that, she ignored them. If they weren't in a shouting match with each other, seemingly trying to prove themselves and their ideals were better or correct compared to the other, then Sylvia would probably have more interest in figuring out who or what the Immortal Emperor or the Smiter were.

Soon they met up with a man and Pylia began discussing their lodgings. She looked to Pylia and looked at her own pouch of gold. She answered Pylia, "I have enough for a yurt, but I think it would be wise to save the gold and just go for the tent. Is that alright with you?" She also took out a single gold piece as though to say that she would pay for the tent. The both of them never knew what was laying ahead. They might need the gold for restocking supplies or weapons later on in Gransys.

As soon as Ferric parked the cart, Sylvia hopped out. She nodded to Ferric and Pylia, "That sounds like a great plan to me. It'll also give us some time to prepare for the road ahead as well," At the mention of finding others who might be interested in the guard deal, Sylvia smiled and answered "Definitely!" She was looking forward to meeting the adventurers around here.

She then looked to Pylia and she asked "But first, maybe we should find a place to stay for the night,"
