[ oh!! the man nods... he reaches under the desk, and after the moment, unrolls a parchment for eunhyuk's inspection. here is your map! ill put it in chat also, please let me know if you can't read it.

as for the question... he looks to his wife, who nods. ]
Depends. Are you staying in town, or planning on going up the mountain...? If you stay here, you should be fine. Monsters don't really come into town.

[ for shu, who is in fact meowing at this cat.

the cat looks at him slowly, and then at the bird... but then the bird is hidden by the coat. scarecrow squawks indignantly, but the cat looks back to shu. anyone in a hurry....? it licks its paws.

No, I don't think so. The shopkeeper's wife is a bitch, though. Scares off customers. Nyan.

and for lucien! the nice blonde woman just nods, returning to her work of measuring out ingredients. as for the shopkeepers - they look at each other and then shrug. ]
We don't really get a lot out here. Armorer's well stocked, but us? We just have enough to keep the town going, keep adventurers from starving. There's a merchant that came into town a couple days ago, he might have weird stock. Think he's working out of the tavern.

[MONSTERS............?????? wait no, that's normal for fantasy lands, right. he had no idea temenos fought monsters though, wow. Eunhyuk's expression remains solemn as he nods in thanks, and he'll also inquire how much the map is? unless the price is on it? IS THIS GONNA BE 99 LEAVES]

I'm supposed to meet an acquaintance in town, but she's not very patient. She might have decided to travel ahead to the mountains without me.

[his brows furrow together in concern,]

...Have you had any recent customers who bought supplies? She might have been traveling alone, or with an escort.

[ scarecrow's beak shuffling out of the coat like how dare you do this to me. he has to do this, by law, if he's not teasing scarecrow what's the point?

shu will put his hand over where scarecrow is like calm down, bird. this is stop you from being the cat's next snack. ]


That's why it's pretty quiet in here?

[ wow. customer service is dead. ]

No one who bought a weird amount of supplies, or asked about places to sell items or anything like that?

[ yeah surprise. eunhyuk, the shopkeeper looks at you for a moment, looks at your clothes.... and then smiles. ]

...Well, for a cleric of the Sacred Flame, it's on the house. Thank you for all that you do.

[ this is how temenos feeds himself huh. anyway you are +1 map! as for the customers question, the guy frowns. ] Customerwise, uhh... not sure about a girl...? I'd check around the other spots in town, you might have better luck with 'em. [ the female shopkeeper gives the guy a Mean Look and he sweats.

scarecrow chills out. the cat watches shu, and then licks its paws. Yeah, she's been threatening the guy and the little girl here and extorting leaves from them. Soooo... no weirdos, Not as far as I know. Good luck with that. Are you gonna eat that bird or what? damn. fuckin useless cat

lucien may keep chattin with the blonde lady. there's - she laughs, a little at that question. ]


... Believe it or not, that's a harder question to answer than you might think.

[ ha ha...

anyway with a 17, she - frowns, a little, her gaze flashing over - and then, she reaches down and swats his hand away from her bag. lucien can see she has a big ass axe strapped to her hip when he does get rejected, though.

this feeling is akin to being scolded by your mother - she doesn't seem particularly mad. ]
Naughty.

If you want something from an apothecary, you only need to ask, not steal.

[People just giving him things.......... This is also so new...... (Is this how Temenos feeds himself...?)

Eunhyuk glances from the shopkeeper to the Mean Lady, but he does not know cat lore, and he's aware that they have a goal here. He'll nod instead in thanks, and man stand emoji for a couple of more seconds as he remembers the words?]


...May the Sacred Flame guide you.

[thank you father temenos holy spirit. he will glance over at Shu, who is not in trouble (MAYBE), and Lucien who is apparently being accused of stealing?

help. he moves towards Lucien,]

No I'm not going to eat the bird. You should think about scratching that lady more often.

[ peace out, cat. he's extremely tempted not to pay for the coat but that's money out of the guy's pocket too. he'll figure it out before they have to leave.

he'll wander over to where lucien and eunhyuk are now, lifting up the coat a little for scarecrow to poke his head out fully if he wants. ]


Apparently no sign of any weirdos or people stocking up for a long journey, but the woman over there is extorting the guy and that girl for leaves and threatening them. [ just said right where this medicine lady can hear them. hell yeah. ]

Only testing your reflexes.

[ but he'll look over at the map, filled with pride at Eunhyuk getting shit for free. Impressive of him. ]

Good job. [ and to shu: ] ... Should we do something about that? Sounds like we should head to find that merchant in the inn.

[ eunhyuk is officially a better cleric than temenos. the shopkeeper smiles at him in return, and says And may it ever light your path. aw, fantasy catholics. he can meet up with lucien!

shu, the cat looks at you for a moment, and says Nyaha, no problem. Hey, if you see the guy who went the place with the swords, tell him to bring me more fish. wow. ]


[ the blue wearing lady smiles at lucien, shaking her head a little and chuckling. it seems that she will accept that excuse? or that she thinks its funny. perhaps this kind of behavior is a little familiar to this lady... she does look curiously at the other two members of the party...

and then when shu says something about extortion, she turns her head abruptly to look at the shopkeeper. the woman looks shocked. the light blue medicine lady smiles.

Boy that's a scary smile. ]
Oh? Is that so?


[ scarecrow says, "Yikes." to the others, this sassy remark sounds like a bird noise.

anyway do you want to stick around here or escape. ]
pathematic: (! an emotion!!)

[personal profile] pathematic 2024-03-25 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
...I think she might have it covered.

[Boy, that's a scary smile.

Eunhyuk is a cleric which means he's support so he will stick around if the others wish to, but he is also slowly moving towards the entrance. The lady gives him a very familiar vibe, the vibe of someone else he knows who could probably handle herself in the face of injustice. Also, her axe is huge?

quietly,]


You should take the coat.

[listen. maybe they can come back and pay later? for now, he will choose to Escape.]

[ (fan translator voice) just as keikaku* ]

We could.

[ he's not moving, but-- ]

Cat mentioned something about 'the guy who went to the place with the swords', which I'm guessing is an armory or something. Which is nearer, the tavern or the armory?

[ he's gonna pay for the coat, but only now he's pretty sure scary lady in blue with the Big Axe is going to make sure that the extortion and threatening gets put on a decently long to permanent pause :) ]

she reaches into her satchel, and then lightly tosses something your direction! it appears to be a small bottle. ]
Here. Don't pickpocket anyone else, if you are in need. If you'll excuse me.

[ and with the harmacist equivalent of "hold my flower", castti turns to go terrify the absolute hell out of the woman. the male shopkeeper looks deeply, deeply thankful as he looks between all of you and waves you off. i guess you can have the coat for free too? wow...

[THIS ICON IS SO TERRIFYING... WOW YOU ARE SO SEXY MA'AM

Eunhyuk is now a man of God and also very respectful on a normal day, so he will just be appreciative of her strength, and also her kindness. He was really ready to just run straight out of that door? But now they have a potion! Wow, their first side quest, and only (1) casualty.

Once they're outside, he'll motion straight ahead.]


Let's head to the tavern.

but, yeah. hot. have fun castti, only draw a little blood. shu will wiggle his shoulder so scarecrow hovers in the air and take the opportunity to pull his coat on and wrap it around himself. much better. the collar is open enough to scarecrow to hide in the coat itself so he doesn't freeze either. ]


Might as well. Someone's bound to be drunk enough to let something slip.

[ did you charm her... what if she's a lesbian

anyway!!!! wow you did it. okay gang, out you go! scarecrow burrows happily into shu's collar, muttering "cold cold cold cold" as you step back out into stormhail, leaving the terrible extortionist to the hot lady with the axe... maybe you'll see her again, maybe you won't...

but with that, the gang heads down to the tavern. and boy, when you get to the tavern are you treated to a show!

first of all, it is loud, and it is raucous. there's music playing from a gramophone. people are laughing and chatting - armored knights, townspeople, all kinds of people. some of them are sitting at tables, but a lot of them seem to be around one part of the room, watching something. it's a break from the generally gloomy atmosphere of stormhail itself. a bartender is slinging drinks, and more importantly, it appears that there might be an arm wrestling contest going on across the room? there's a sudden yell of delight from the crowd in the room.

in the very epicenter of it all is a guy in a bright yellow coat, who smacks his hand against the table as he successfully wins an arm wrestling match. the crowd goes wild. ]


[ his voice is loud, and bright, and boy does he have a thick accent. like arthur except he is the antithesis of arthur in every way considering: ]

Hahaha, hoo-ey! You're slipperier than a hog in a mud pit! You almost had me, friend!!

[STOP I JUST DON'T WANT TO ICLY FORCE EVERYONE TO GO WITH EUNHYUK BUT ALSO STAY WITH ME

Eunhyuk heads in with the others, and maybe he has some general idea of what a tavern would be like, but whatever was in his head pales in comparison to the real thing. The volume, music, the amount of people. It's such a stark contrast to the freezing air from outside. And also theoretically, it should be easy to slip in unnoticed with so many people, right?

Except the Antithesis of Arthur chooses this exact moment to look at all three of them. Well, maybe that's fine?]

Whoa-hoh, alrighty there, pardner! [ to shu, the yellow guy says: ] Just a way to fight off that blasted chill, right? Good friends, good food, good drink - I'll getcha in two shakes, if you wanna try, too.

[ and after that, the yellow guy's attention returns to lucien, and scans lucien's face, like he's looking for something. he's awfully perceptive, for such a doofus - and then he smiles, closer to enchanted than utterly gleeful delight as he says, a little breathless: ] ...Whoa. You've got a real aura round ya, huh? Like the kinda guy who's goin like an arrow for his goals, fired right outta' a crossbow.

... I like the cut of your gib, friend. [ the yellow guy rolls up his sleeves, adjusts his dorky little hat, and then sets his elbow on the table to join lucien's, taking his hand. ] Let's do this.

he will take this reprieve of the yellow man not singling him out for arm-wrestling combat to survey the rest of the room. his attention is on the knights, but also for anyone dressed similarly to him, in those navy blue robes he saw earlier. if there is, then he'll approach.... if not, then he will head over to the nearest knight who doesn't look super inebriated yet.

[ lucien your confidence is so brave. the yellow guy has a good, strong grip and nice, warm, calloused hands. he counts down nicely -

and then yeah, slams down lucien's hand in like .2 seconds.

the bird squawks at him a second later and the yellow guy yells, surprised, but it is too late. the damage is done. that is going to smart. lucien, the table cracks under your hand with the force of the armwrestle own.

the crowd starts going absolutely batshit nuts because of course they do, hootin and hollerin. the yellow guy lets go, looking up at the bird and muttering - mahina? - before he shakes his head and immediately looks like, so apologetic. ]
Ah...hahaha, guess I didn't know my own strength! You alright there, pardner...?


[ in the meantime, eunhyuk, who is a normal and sane person, decides to not arm wrestle and instead slips through the crowd. as he makes his way around, he won't see any clerics, but he will see a smaller cluster of knights in a corner. one of them, black haired and wearing the maroon colored tabard, has his face down on a table.

the other one is blonde and wearing a blue tabard. ]


[ the blonde knight is rubbing the black haired knight's back and saying something to him, and he looks up when he realizes there's another presence in the room. ]

No, no, it's okay, Ort... - Oh. Can I help you with something?
