RP channel logs: Fereia, Maldrek

[RP]: Maldrek looked at the well established hostel with disdain.
[RP]: Maldrek says 'Czrel wanted to meet here? What awful taste ... it's almost respectable...'
[RP]: Maldrek rode up slowly to the tavern, a small boy ran from the stable and took the lead.
[RP]: Maldrek says 'Boy! Be sure to take good care of that mount and have it ready at a moment's notice.'
[RP]: (Maldrek): The boy nods acknowledgement and races back to the stable with the horse.
[RP]: Maldrek walks through the door and is taken aback by the neatness.
[RP]: Fereia Azuki says 'of course it's neat, I spent the last five hours cleaning up.'
[RP]: Maldrek looks back at the voice of his clan mate.
[RP]: Maldrek says 'Don't tell me you own this place?'
[RP]: Fereia Azuki says 'no, I was bored. don't ask.'
[RP]: Fereia Azuki looks around and smiles happily.
[RP]: Maldrek says 'So I guess Czrel is around here someplace. He told me to meet here?'
[RP]: Fereia Azuki says 'he's very busy these days, I hardly see him'
[RP]: Fereia Azuki sighs
[RP]: Maldrek says 'But he is here or coming here, since this is where he told me the meeting was to be held. Or is this just payback for giving him grief during poker?'
[RP]: Fereia Azuki says 'he's not like that.'
[RP]: Fereia Azuki looks around, worried
[RP]: Fereia Azuki says 'he's usually quite punctual. Maybe he's in trouble?'
[RP]: Maldrek says 'yeah, I bet he got waylaid by a tavern or two along the way.'
[RP]: Fereia Azuki gasps
[RP]: Fereia Azuki says 'he promised he'll cut down on drinking.'
[RP]: Maldrek says 'what's the house specialty... smells like ... herbal tea?'
[RP]: Fereia Azuki says 'here? .. Milk.'
[RP]: Maldrek says 'oh, he has. Why do you think he asked to meet here, such a frilly place? I was afraid I'd soil the doormat'
[RP]: Fereia Azuki grins evilly.
[RP]: Fereia Azuki says 'I think you got the wrong place.'
[RP]: Maldrek becons the waitress over
[RP]: Fereia Azuki says 'we should really go looking for him'
[RP]: Maldrek says 'what's the strongest brew you have? Bah just bring a tankard over.'
[RP]: Maldrek pats the waitress on the backside as she walks away.
[RP]: Fereia Azuki mutters 'it'll probably be water'
[RP]: Maldrek says 'probably so, lets ditch this place and find our wayward friend'
[RP]: (Fereia Azuki): They both leave the 'tavern' and step out into the street.
[RP]: Maldrek says 'You know you have ruined that man... he's almost respectable now'
[RP]: Maldrek says 'where should we start looking?'
[RP]: Fereia Azuki says 'actually, last time I talked, he said he had business in Muros'
[RP]: Fereia Azuki says 'mind you, that was days ago.'
[RP]: Maldrek says 'probably why he picked here, pretty close by, only a few miles north'
[RP]: Fereia Azuki says 'I can get there faster, scout around. Meet you in market square in 2 hours?'
[RP]: Maldrek says 'sounds like a plan. I need to gather my horse from the stable boy anyway.'
[RP]: Fereia Azuki focuses her Will inwards, and slowly turns into a eagle.
[RP]: Fereia Azuki flies off in the direction of Muros
[RP]: Maldrek ove to the side barn to retrieve his horse.
[RP]: Maldrek says 'Boy! My horse!'
[RP]: Maldrek looks around and quickly ducks inside to find his horse still saddled with several of the pouches opened, the boy lay dead at the feet of the horse, poisoned from the locks of secure bags.
[RP]: Maldrek mounts and thunders out of the stable, 'less he is pinned for a murder.
[RP]: Fereia Azuki spots a figure lying at the side of the road to Muros, swoops down to take a look.
[RP]: Maldrek flies out north keeping his eyes focused on the sky trying to spot Fereia.
[RP]: Fereia Azuki gasps, realising that the figure was a dead body.
[RP]: (Fereia Azuki): turning back into her normal shape, Fereia quickly searched the body
[RP]: Fereia Azuki found a letter, and a pouch bulging with coins.
[RP]: Maldrek rides hard a few miles. Up in the distance he notices a figure hunched by the side of the road.
[RP]: Fereia Azuki says 'he won't need the coins anymore, I'd better keep it.'
[RP]: Fereia Azuki takes the letter and the coins. When reading the letter, she became more worried.
[RP]: Maldrek slows as he nears the tall figure of his clan mate.
[RP]: Maldrek says 'what did ya find?'
[RP]: Fereia Azuki silently shows him the letter.
[RP]: Maldrek reads it quickly and frowns.
[RP]: Maldrek says 'He have anything else on him?'
[RP]: Fereia Azuki shakes her head.
[RP]: Maldrek says 'recognize this person?'
[RP]: Fereia Azuki says 'no, I don't. Czrel had many contacts that I didn't know'
[RP]: Maldrek frowns deeper.
[RP]: Fereia Azuki says 'I'd better be careful, the letter warns of a possible attack on me, and Czrel too.'
[RP]: Maldrek says 'Well, all Drasnians look alike to me.'
[RP]: Fereia Azuki says 'no sign of identity on him, either. Anyway, we better hurry on to Muros. Together.'
[RP]: Fereia Azuki says 'don't think its a good idea to split up anymore.'
[RP]: Maldrek looks over the body and pauses by his feet.
[RP]: Maldrek says 'Well, well, look here.'
[RP]: Fereia Azuki glances at Maldrek, confused
[RP]: Maldrek takes the man's boot and splits the sole. Red gold and a small parchment slide out.
[RP]: Fereia Azuki says 'What's on the parchment?'
[RP]: Maldrek says 'I saw the sole start to give way, tipped me off, I tried it once, but could never get it to work right.'
[RP]: Maldrek reads the paper quickly and hands it away.
[RP]: (Fereia Azuki): As the two of them stood, puzzling over the dead body, a shadowy figure watched them from the darkness.
[RP]: Maldrek says 'Apparently he's playing both sides.'
[RP]: Fereia Azuki says 'yeah. '
[RP]: (Fereia Azuki): before the sentence is finished, a thrown dagger narrowly missed Fereia.
[RP]: Maldrek notices the birds fly off from nearby and spins around, blades drawn.
[RP]: Maldrek picks up the dead man and uses him as a shield to cover himself and Fereia.
[RP]: Maldrek says 'Why are the dead so stinking heavy?'
[RP]: Fereia Azuki says 'WATCH OUT!'
[RP]: Fereia Azuki deflects the arrow coming from behind with the WIll and the Word.
[RP]: Maldrek ducks back behind the body as another dagger sticks into the arm of the dead man.
[RP]: Fereia Azuki says 'We need to flee.'
[RP]: Maldrek says 'I'm open to suggestions, the closest place is where we just left.'
[RP]: Maldrek says 'you got magic, any idea how many of them are out there?'
[RP]: Fereia Azuki heightens her awareness, but curiously, could detect no one.
[RP]: Fereia Azuki says 'someone's shielding them from me.'
[RP]: Maldrek yells, 'Great.'
[RP]: (Fereia Azuki): The attackers start converging on the two.
[RP]: (Fereia Azuki): Maldrek and Fereia stand back to back, facing the attackers
[RP]: Fereia Azuki says 'I really hope it's only these two.'
[RP]: Maldrek flings the body aside then uses a spell to throw his voice.
[RP]: Fereia Azuki sends a burst of flame in the path of the man coming at her.
[RP]: Maldrek says 'Hey, dummy, I'm not quite dead yet. (from the dead body)'
[RP]: Maldrek hopes the distraction will give him an edge.
[RP]: Fereia Azuki creates an illusion of smoke around the two merchants, hiding their actions.
[RP]: Maldrek notices the distraction and tosses a dagger into the knee of his attacker.
[RP]: Maldrek makes a break for the clearing whistling for his horse.
[RP]: Fereia Azuki quickly transforms back into an eagle before the other attacker realises what was going on.
[RP]: Maldrek grabs the saddle horn and jumps into the seat with out pause and heads back south.
[RP]: (Fereia Azuki): Flying swiftly, Fereia reached the tea house they had just left in a few moments.
[RP]: (Fereia Azuki): Maldrek arrived a few minutes later. They both stared, Czrel was there.
