[Taocow PBEM] Chapter XIII - Of Prophecies and Visions

[Aaron Clausen]

OOC: Still haven't heard from JL, but we'll proceed.  Just got a note
from Bongo's player, he has to temporarily bow out, so I'll assume the
mantle of Bongo the Great until he returns.

> [Talas]
> Shortly after the Prince and the Major leave the room Talas stands up and addresses the

> will have to spoken of without me. For the life of a Demon Queller is to short, for me to
> pass up life's small pleasures when they present them selves. So if you will pardon me. I
> have a lovely young lady awaiting my arrival. Mr. Quinn it is a pleasure to meet you." and
> with that Talas turns around and goes into his room to change into some well tailored
> street close that he picked up in the NGR.
> [/Talas]

[Osiris]
"I'm a bit past the party animal stage." Osiris says.  "I'm still a
recovering patient here, and need at least a good night's sleep before
I hit the pub.  Is someone going to go after that Bruth character?"
[/Osiris]

> [Talas]
> Once changed Talas then heads off to meet the Mayor's daughter. On his way past the
> two guards Talas turns and with out stopping  asks "Gentlemen is one of you supposed
> to shadow me for the night?" And with that Talas heads off for his date.
> [/Talas]

[GM]
One of the guards nods.  "Aye, we're to keep an eye on you people."
He looks back at his companion.  "Best let Cramp know I'm off with the
elf."

His companion looks at him sharply, "And you remember you're on duty.
If you're caught drinking ale again, they'll put on border patrol."
[/GM]

OOC: Before I get going on Talas's thread, anyone who plans on joining
him speak up!  Otherwise, I'll do it quick-and-dirty style so as not
to slow down the game or leave anyone else.
