As Chye talked, Ales quietly chanted, hoping the goddess of magic would share information on whether these hooded figured be friend or foe.

In reply to Ales Konstantin (msg # 158):

The woodsmen, many of whom wear green surcoats with black chevrons, do not seem certain as to being enemies, the spell has indifferent results. A few of them talk amongst themselves, and then harken at the approach of another.

In reply to Tanaka Kojimaru (msg # 161):

Another woodsman approaches, also wearing the same surcoat as the others, over chainmail as opposed to gambesons like the others. He too has a bow and sword. The others seem to offere deference to him.

The group is human, Aralaise from appearance, and seems to number about a dozen.

"We would be delighted to break our fast with you... and your cats."

In reply to Chye Isuel (msg # 168):

The woodsman eyes your weapons and gear.
"I am not sure if I know of a Sakemoko.  Is your arrangement with Baron Pequenaud, current master of Veroigne? And what seems to be wrong with your sleeping friend. I know you are from Sahud, but he looks positively jaundiced."
You note that his people are a mix of men and women.

In reply to Monsieur Hood (msg # 171):
"We have an arrangement with the the village, not sure about this Baron. We're bringing goods to exchange for rice grown there, to bring back with us to be purchased by the Sahudese of Northport. Our lord Sakemoko is the procurer for their needs. As far as Chou-Zhen, he is half human, and half otherworldly. He's alright, he's just a bit different. You should see him drink beer, through his finger tip! He's our wizard!"

In reply to Grimaldi (msg # 172):

"Oh, one of those. Gives me gooseflesh. So you buy rice from the swamp folk..." He exchanges a look with some of his me."</green>


Iskander has vaguely heard of a job offer from this Pequenaud person, but cannot remember any details.


Make another area knowledge roll at -4, or an area knowledge: Adventurer's Guild  roll.

"Mercenaries, perhaps? I don't recognize the emblem on your surcoats, from back in the city, but then, I too am not from around here."

In reply to Iskander (msg # 177):

The soldiers of Veroigne left the employ of the Baroness when she married Pequenaud, who brought his own men.  The previous guard were loyal to her brother, the Baronet, who headed north.  Recently, without her brother the Baronet, and his husband the captain of the guards, the legendary beast of Veroigne has gone on a rampage, and a party of adventurers were hired to defeat it.  You heard that they left town shortly before you.
