"How ironic that we happen to be looking for the same Mortal, Paladin." Ternix commented, firing off another barrage of lasers at the Paladin's shield. If the NPC was looking for the guy she was meant to be finding, perhaps they could try and work together.... If he'd listen to her. If not, then she'd have to carry on down the road to the next village, and do some sneaky work, after all if you couldn't have fun stealing shit from NPCs, what could you find fun?
"It is clear these people wish me no harm, Sir Wolf", chirped Aosidhe. With a stride simply radiating confidence and regality, she moved over to the innkeeper, smiling friendly at him, too. "Might it be that you have heard something? I worry much about him."
"I will obey...." He made a dramatic turn from his 'princess' to the people. "For now." He squinted his eyes and folded the crossbow in itself to put it on his back for now, crossing his arms as he watched the various commoners.
**CURRENT POSITION - BAIVUR (OUTSKIRTS)** < @Uriel1339 @Casavay > The various villagers do their best to go about their normal business, albeit with glances at the foreign princess and her angelic guardian. The innkeep, meanwhile, looks at Aosidhe. "I hear many things. Some say he was kidnapped. Some say he's on a secret mission, and the disappearance is to cover it up." He grabs a mug and begins to clean it. "Others say he has a lover somewhere, and left to be with her." He chuckles. "Not sure which it is, though." **CURRENT POSITION - ROAD TO TILNOR** < @Maleth > "You..." The paladin raises it's shield, reflecting the lasers onto the ground. "Why do you seek the prince!? Do not tell me you will devour his soul!?" It stands, and looks at Ternix, still in a battle stance, but not moving. "Or do you have another agenda?"
"You say this to provoke me, do you not?", a fake indignant Aosidhe said with a pout and a frown. "Why would he leave his friend behind? He should have told me." She looked at Blizzard Wolf, blinking, waiting for his input in turn. "That is quite unlike him. And... kidnapped... no, that is too horrible to contemplate."
"The Prince is under the threat of death from things far worse than me... So I was sent to ensure his safety." Ternix said, hoping that the Paladin would understand the implied offer of a truce in order to save the prince. After all.... If she could make the NPC work with her, perhaps the group might start to get somewhere in their missing prince quest? Or at least she could get back on track to the other town.....
@Casavay & @BadDo9 "We shall find him. But certainly we are just wasting our time here. And with the alcohol most likely worse than even the manners of the owner, there is not even pleasure of any sort to be gained here. Let us begone and find the prince." The 'guardian' put a hand on her shoulder and then walked outside.
The player behind Aosidhe had to restrain herself from leaning in to her 'protector' to remain in character, but followed Blizzard Wolf closely nonetheless. "I wish you all a good day", said the princess in leaving. "So what now?", she asks, looking at her boyfriend's character. "That invitation sounds trap-ish..."
"Which means enemies to kill, which means experience to gain! Let us be on our way, I say!" Blizzard Wolf said with a wide grin, already getting his ginormous crossbow out, ready for action!
IRL Time: Saturday, March 18th 2018 - 1:30 AM Aurastia Time: Feudal Age, Spring, 1000 - 6:00 AM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Spoiler: Current Map ~~MISSION 1 - FEUDAL ASSASSINATION~~ **CURRENT POSITION - BAIVUR (OUTSKIRTS)** < @Uriel1339 @Casavay > As Aosidhe and Blizzard Wolf head outside the town, they see the same male as before, but this time outfitted with grey-and-red plate armor. He meets the two halfway and gazes at them. "I know you are not the princess the prince is to marry..." He looks at Aosidhe. "But it truly seems you are here to help. I sent a warrior here, and he hasn't returned. But before I tell you what I've learned..." He then bows. "Kinn, general of the royal guard." **CURRENT POSITION - ROAD TO TILNOR** < @Maleth > The paladin looks at Ternix, and sighs beneath a plate helmet. "Solar forgive me, should this be a poor choice." it stands, and throws off the helmet, showing a beautiful, feminine face with long blonde hair. "I am going to the village up the way, to meet the Royal Guard General." she turns and begins to walk back up the street. "Should you make a move to betray, I swear I will cut you down."
