Re: Shikamaru and the Sword
"Very well, I'll take your word for it, should something happen, and you betray your honour and your word that nothing shall happen, some of my companions, would I'm sure be more than glad to see somethng happen to others. WHile I do not enjoy violence, or condone it. It is nessecary at times, and some people need it to make a living. So, if you'll bring me after I speak to my friends temporarily, I shall come... alone."
I give a polite bow to her and rejoin my allies.
"I'm going to go and find ourselves a rogue. In a secluded spot, she wishes that I come alone, while I do not trust the area, and the fact that I am coming alone. I do not wish to be followed there. Sure, if you can get there un noticed, by even the most skilled assassins, or scry without being noticed, then by all means do so without my knowledge of it. But I shall go alone, we should reconvene here in a couple hours. So in that time do as you wish, prepare, pack your things, study up on spells, pray, whichever, if I should return with a rogue, then we'll need to find a ranger, and should we not then we should probably go and find some."
If there are no objections I join the old woman.
I'm sure the cleric isn't going to trust her, however this can prove to have some advantages. Hell, if they manage to follow me or track me without me knowing of it, and without letting others know, then there is nothing I can do about it.
When I get back to the woman...
"I have informed them not to follow me, however I'm sure one might, try. If they don't then it'll be fine, but I'm sure there are those in the shadows right now watching us, and will be watching where we travel. In my past I had traveled with a good friend of mine, in another realm, after an unfortunate incident, we were sperated and I ended up here. My friend was the best rogue I've ever known. So perhaps we can find one with equal or better skill. Yep, Avahur best I've known, but enough of that, shall we go?"
OoC: Avahur is, also the name Av uses in the DnD Campaign we are in. I do have armor similar to that which my dop is wearing, and a sword like it, as I tried to do me... And Av, in the campaign is the sneakiest rogue I've ever played with. So, its interesting.
