Re: 1C - TiNH - Part Three: The Vanderboren Vault
Angati healed Alohan before leaving the party and promising that she would be there first thing in the morning. She made a big detour all the while mumbling with herself about just keeping the scissors for a few days and make him learn a lesson... but what did that make of her ?. At any rate, by the time she was almost in the brink of making a decision, she had already walked far too much to walk back just for simple pettiness. So she went to the tailor, and handed him the scissors "This is all that we have been able to recover... I hope it means something to you".
Then it was her home, she dropped by her sister's to let her know about the economic situation of Lavinia, and the dangerous liasons of her own brother Vanthus. She also added that Lavinia seemed to be a good woman, if only a bit innocent, that abode the law, and handled herself with as much dignity as she could. She also added that she was finding adventuring rather spicy and given the day's she had left in her, she was thinking about taking to it and maybe leaving the shrine.
Her next stop was the shrine, she looked for Karthach and found the dwarf just about to leave. She felt quite a bit of warmth for the older dwarf and so she told him of her day. When she was done with it, she went on... "I am thinking of leaving the shrine... I am not sure yet, but I feel more alive if I am doing these kind of things than if I rest here... I am old, and... well, what's there to loose ?. I really want to feel like I am not just letting time slip you know ?"
The next morning she took all her goods... her shield, the morningstar, the scale mail, and settled her backpack to leave. She did not wear the scale mail while navigating just to be able to make a swim to the coast in case something happened.
When they arrived, and after hearing the exchange with the guard at the entrance she really had to bite her tongue not to go with a 'Told you!!!' regarding Vanthus. Still, upon Lavinia's comments she sighed and said:
"Lavinia, if there were only two rings, one was hidden, which is the one you hold, and the other was worn by your mother, who has gone missing, and that ring is now carried by your brother... I'd be very suspicious about your brother. Please, we may come to a point where we all depend upon your judgement of your own brother, and while I really appreciate what family means, please think things out coldly because your life and ours will be at stake". She wanted to add, think were might your brother keep your mother in case he is keeping her alive which is doubtful... but she just could not find a wording that would not be devastating... and it was just not the time.
She paused there a bit, as she asked Logan to help her with settling the scale mail on her, and she held the shield on her left hand "Now... I'd say... let's find out what goes on in there...".
OOC: What money should we use for those purchases ? you got us working for free here or on credit which amounts to the same thing :P
