Quest - The Rescue

[Cordelia de Clare]

ardent idolatry: The Bullet and Blade in had undergone rennovations while

Cordelia had been dealing with the opening of The Bitter End in Sarkotos. It

was now much bigger, so much so, it even had its own ballroom.

ardent idolatry: That being said the patronage was the same, and so was the

client base. Men came from all over Drowsing to sample the delights the

Blade had to offer. Each member of The Syndicate, from the highest

ardent idolatry: rank, to the lowest, and new friends would receive a

summons to the bar, to an awaiting Cordelia - who was pacing back and forth

so quickly, she might have burnt a whole in the carpet if there had been

ardent idolatry: one. (OPEN RP while I build the SB.)

ardent idolatry: inn*

Iady kissekatt: Get a hobby, he told her. Find something to occupy your time

outside of the house, he said. The albino noble did not often leave the

confines of her little world, but she had some dealings with one of the few

people she considered a

Georg Pryme: Georg had been patrolling the border as the call was sent out.

It had taken him some time, but he'd finally arrived, the sound of his booted

feet heard clunk-clunking up the steps before the door opened to admit his

entrance. He

edict unwritten: Quinn had been MIA since the races, where he had went, well

he kept that little information to himself, though rumors had placed him back

towards Kyngfeld. When the summons went out he made haste, well as fast as he

was able. By the

Iady kissekatt: friend and so she showed up dressed in white from head to

toe, with her black staff in hand. Every movement it made, it trailed in

shadows, making quite the contrast between her and her chosen weapon. She

stepped inside, and gave a

Iady kissekatt: look around at the area and then made her way towards the

pacing Cordelia. A slight nod of her head was offered.

Georg Pryme: paused a moment, checking to see if anyone was following him in

before closing the door and nodding to Cordy as he saw her pacing. "Got here

as swiftly as I was able." His brows furrowed as she just kept on pacing,

left hand

edict unwritten: time he actually arrived the horse he was riding was

exhausted and was taken away to be fed and watered. He slid off the horse and

made his way into the Bullet and Blade, his eyes dancing over the new look it

had undergone. Just

Georg Pryme: resting idly on the hilt of Deathblow as it sat in the

scabbard(Magnificient Sheath of Melee Weapons) on his left hip, the tip

barely avoiding dragging along the floor with the steps he'd taken.

edict unwritten: when he had got used to the place the first time and found

the perfect spot at the bar, she had gone and changed it. He kept his

troubles to himself, a simple nod given to Deathblow and a brow risen to the

other one who joined them.

edict unwritten: He sized her up and down for a moment before his attention

fell on Vixen, "lose a whore?" A guess.

ardent idolatry: " How the fuck did you know that? " The question was far

too on point not to raise Cordelia's suspicions, and so, her hand was rest

upon the Flintlock sitting pride of place in its holster, which rest upon her

stomach. Especially

OnlineHost: Georg Pryme has left the room.

Iady kissekatt: Bianca narrowed her eyes at the man that seemed to think she

was a replacement whore, and the corners of her lips twitched momentarily as

she canted her head in a birdlike manner. Considerations of all the poisons

she could use to

OnlineHost: Georg Pryme has entered the room.

Iady kissekatt: harm the man went through her mind one by one, until her

pale blue gaze fell upon Cordelia again.

ardent idolatry: considering who it was that had actually gone missing. The

note was thrust out towards Bianca and Georg as she stopped pacing, but if

neither one of them took it, it dropped to the floor. " I know, I shouldn't

get attached, but she

Iady kissekatt: She reached out and took the paper, and looked it over while

Cordelia spoke.

ardent idolatry: was one of my first. Missy's gone, and Sissy is dead. "

That being Missy's twin sister; the poor nymph. Adalric hadn't answered the

call so that pissed her off all the more, but she didn't voice that. " Quinn,

this is

ardent idolatry: Lady Kissekat. " She didn't give the man her full title.

ardent idolatry: The note itself read like a scrawl, and the only words that

were eligible were the name, the place they were expected to meet the would

be captors, and the price they were expecting for her release.

Georg Pryme: Well, if Bianca didn't take the note, Georg certainly did,

opening it up and examining its contents. Smiles were held as they were

filled in on the details of what had happened, a grim set to his jaw as he

took in the news. "How

Iady kissekatt: There was no need for full titles and such, she nodded to

the man upon being introduced. Then she read over the note, and then passed

it over to Georg if he wished to take a look.

Georg Pryme: long ago did you learn of this?" It took a moment to register

everyone else, going about making short greetings as he took in the data of

the note. A grin given to the three of them, though his gaze lingered on

Cordy as she

Georg Pryme: mentioned the connection with both Missy and Sissy.

ardent idolatry: " As soon as I found it, I called for you. I stayed in

Sarkotos longer than I had planned. " So basically, she had no idea how long

Missy had been gone, or how long Sissy had been dead.

edict unwritten: "Just the way your pacing." He had no idea if he was right

until she let him know, when she said Missy had gone missing it seemed all to

personal. He couldn't blame her for any action she might take on him, seemed

all to convenient

Georg Pryme: "We'll get her back, and there will be a reckoning." He paused

a moment and looked between the lot of them, nodding as he continued. "How

do you want to handle it? Pay what they ask? Or have the price be in their

blood?" There

Georg Pryme: were definitely problems with the latter, Missy's safety the

foremost matter.

edict unwritten: though, in Quinn's eyes he seemed as concerned as Vixen

did, damn, he caught feelings for a whore. He reached out for the note, near

taking it if he had too. He examined the ink, the paper, the smell, anything

that would give him a

Iady kissekatt: She leaned against her staff for the moment lightly, taking

it all in, listening for the information needed to see if she could even be

of assistance. Perhaps she'd just have a cup of tea if it turned out she was

not needed.

Georg Pryme: As Quinn reached for the note, he passed it without hesitation.

It was clear where Georg's strengths lay in such matters. There was a subtle

cunning to him, but the captors had the upper hand currently.

edict unwritten: clue of who they might be up against, words were simple,

and anyone could meet up anywhere. When he seemed to come of his own personal

high of awareness he looked to Lady Kissekatt, "sorry, pleasure to meet you,"

he gave her a nod.

ardent idolatry: " Oh, I want them all dead. " There was no question about

that, it was a matter of pride. " No one steals from me. " She didn't care

who they were, or why they'd done it, either. " I want them to suffer. "

Which was where Bianca

ardent idolatry: would be useful, no doubt. [ Does anyone have Knowledge:

Region (Rumeria)/Local/Geography? ]

Iady kissekatt: (I have Local)

ardent idolatry: [ Okay! Go for it. ]

Georg Pryme: He just gave a reassuring pat to the hilt of his blade, looking

over Bianca's way as talk of suffering came up. "Good to see you out and

about, Lady Kissekatt. Been some time since we saw one another last." (No

knowledges here)

edict unwritten: [local]

OnlineHost: Iady kissekatt rolled 1 20-sided die: 13

Iady kissekatt: (+10 Knowledge, +10 INT = 33)

ardent idolatry: [ You too, Quinn mun. ]

OnlineHost: edict unwritten rolled 1 20-sided die: 6

edict unwritten: [6]

edict unwritten: [16*]

Iady kissekatt: Ah yes, the suffering, that was something she knew how to do

and she smiled a little bit as she said that. Then Georg spoke to her and she

turned and gave him a slight smile as well, "Yes it has been, thank you."

ardent idolatry: " Who knows Rumeria? Does anyone know where.. " She took

the note back eventually, and squinted before saying: " Deeply Crossing is? "

Cordelia actively avoided crossing the border unless she had to.

ardent idolatry: " Has anyone heard anything about this through their

connections? "

Iady kissekatt: The Kissekatt barony was on the border of Rumeria, and so it

wasn't far fetched she would know of some gossip, since she wasn't far from

Drowsing. "Our sources have told us that Rumerian Raiders have been crossing

into Doxenia on

edict unwritten: "You know now that I think about it..." He scratched just

behind his ear, making sure he recalled it correctly, "on my travels I heard

that in Drowsing and the surronding towns Rumerian Raiders.." he stopped to

let the Lady

Iady kissekatt: occasion, but not everyone believes that to be true since

they have historically attacked and ravaged when they come into our lands,

and no one has been killed. Until now, I suppose."

Georg Pryme: Georg scratched his chin as he tried to pinpoint where Deeply

Crossing was. Doxenia wasn't a small territory, and he was still learning

which crossing sat where. "I'd probably know it on sight, but that's the

best I have to

edict unwritten: continue. "Perhaps they are trying to get money out of you

Vixen, maybe for better supplies?"

Georg Pryme: offer, unfortunately." He paused as he listened to the

information Quinn and Bianca had, storing it away. "If it's nothing but a

group of bandits . . . that takes some moxie to strike at an establishment."

He'd pat his own chest

Iady kissekatt: "Deeply Crossing is northwest of Duncaster, on the top of

Lake Azura. It isn't very far, as the raven flies." She quieted again, as

they spoke.

Georg Pryme: gently, grateful he'd chosen to travel light today. Spidersilk

worn, but hidden beneath his clothing, he'd have some protection when it came

time to fight.

ardent idolatry: Cordelia gave Quinn a no shit eyebrow arch, but all she

said was, " It's a good thing you're pretty. " Her arms were folded over her

chest as she listened to them all give their input, and considered their next

action. " They're

ardent idolatry: either pretty brave or really fucking stupid if they aren't

raiders, and they're using their reputation to hit innes here about's. " A

nod was given to Bianca before she said: " How long do you think it would

take by horseback? "

edict unwritten: Even Shepherd gave him hassle for stating out the obvious,

an ugly habit of his, one that he'd break one day. His attention drew to

Bianca who seemed to have a good knowledge of the land.

Iady kissekatt: "Half a day or a bit less, if you don't dawdle about, I

suppose." She didn't really ride horses, though she did take carriages and

that was much different so she tried to figure it out as best as she could.

ardent idolatry: " I don't really want to waste half a da-- Oh! " She looked

excited for a moment, then started searching around in the small pouch she

had on her belt. It was usually where she kept her pistol-pellets, but

something much better was

ardent idolatry: in there for now. A jar was pulled out, with a colourful

dust inside. " I can make a portal! " She only had enough for three portals,

but she figured.. why not.

Georg Pryme: He'd nod as Cordy pulled out the jar and spoke of the portal,

looking from her, to Quinn then to Bianca. "We'll need to be quick once we

get there. I've a few tricks I can use to get to Missy and get her out

safe." He shifted his

edict unwritten: Vixen had magic... suddenly Quinn seemed very afraid, "have

you tested that yet?" Portal in a Jar... no that didn't seem like a weird

fool's gimmick at all! He half expect that once they entered they come out

looking like clowns or

Georg Pryme: pack off his back a moment, reaching in and coming up with a

vest which he shrugged on. He rolled his shoulders a bit, testing the fit

and the range of motion. He still had yet to even try and see if it actually

would let him fly!

edict unwritten: something. "So the two of us play as a distraction while

the third gets Missy," which lead to another question, "How long does this

portal stay open?"

Iady kissekatt: She stared at the jar, and then at Cordelia, and gave a nod.

It would be quicker to go by portal after all, so she had no qualms about it.



ardent idolatry: After a few seconds wait to see if anyone protested

traveling through a portal, she cleared out some space near a wall. " I have

no idea if its going to work, I found it at the Bazaar in Westby. " That was

probably an ominous omen,

ardent idolatry: but she liked the pretty colours of the dust - not that

she'd admit that to anyone. Quinn's question was given a shrug, " We can

always use the Union to get back if it doesn't stay open. That's if we live

through it! " She grinned

Iady kissekatt: (brb I have to put dinner in the oven)

ardent idolatry: lightly, before picturing the name of the place she wanted

to go; for that is what the merchant had told her to do! While she thought

about it, she threw some of the dust at the wall, and slowly, but surely a

portal started to

ardent idolatry: sputter into existence. [ Used: 1 use of Jar of Portal Dust

]

edict unwritten: "Now I've seen everything."

Georg Pryme: He set his focus on the task at hand. His muscles shifting a

bit, body mass seeming to grow a bit. A brief snarl seen upon his lips as he

wrested control from his other self, harnessing the strength laying dormant

within

Georg Pryme: himself as he made ready to enter the portal(CM: Rock Titan: +2

str for the adventure).

ardent idolatry: [ Got it ]

ardent idolatry: " Quinn, you go first... "

ardent idolatry: He was the most expendable.

Iady kissekatt: (back)

edict unwritten: He looked at her, looked at them, he half wanted to trip

someone through before he entered, "what else I got to lose, you only live

once," and thats where that orginally came from. Copyright. He entered the

portal.

ardent idolatry: Upon entering the portal, Quinn would feel the pull of

magic, and then a retching feeling as he was pulled and torn apart atom by

atom. He would feel an uncomfortable shunt to the side, and then BAM! he'd

hit his head on a wall as

ardent idolatry: came through the other side. Wherever it was they were

coming out was underground, smelt bad, and was damp... like a sewer, but not

quite. He was also ankle deep in dirty water, and there was a large rat

gnawing on a rope nearby

ardent idolatry: with red, glowing eyes.

edict unwritten: The feeling of being split apart into small little atoms

was enough to make him never to want to do that again. His mind immediately

began to focus as he screamed out on the inside, like he had been trained to

do. He focused on the

ardent idolatry: Meanwhile, on the better side of the portal, Cordelia

motioned for both Bianca and Georg to go through. " I'll bring up the rear. "

She patted her gun to explain why.

edict unwritten: mission, Missy, and by the time he came to and thwacked his

head against the wall. He held it for a moment and decided he wait there to

ease the others from experiencing the same fate. Though he was sure Georg ws

going to knock him

edict unwritten: on his ass, he hoped he would be last. Oh that was going to

suck when Quinn found out otherwise.

Georg Pryme: Well, normally he'd be all about ladies going first, but he'd

lead the way for Bianca. He hadn't drawn a weapon yet, and wouldn't need to

til he was ready. No hesitation, he just stepped right on through,

attempting to be ready

Georg Pryme: for whatever awaited him on the other side.

Iady kissekatt: She headed on through! (brb agian, sorry son needs me)

edict unwritten: On his ass he went!

ardent idolatry: Just like Quinn, they would all - inc. Cordelia by that

point - feel the retch, and pull of the teleporation. For those that had felt

it before, it felt all wrong. Each of them would appear in DIFFERENT places

in the same dank sewer

ardent idolatry: but Biana would be able to see the hatched bars around her

that worked into the ceiling and the floor. They were trapped in cells.

Georg's was so small that he would find it difficult to move, and Cordelia

was pressed up against

ardent idolatry: the wall so she couldn't move her hands. " We got em miss!

We got em! " Came an annoying voice from above, and there was one big purple

eye peeking down through a drain. " Cans we eats one now? " The voice was

followed by a yelp,

ardent idolatry: and a scurry.

ardent idolatry: Bianca*

Georg Pryme: Well, who could be prepared to be walking one minute and

falling on their ass the next? You would think someone who spent a good

portion of their time learning how to move around a battlefield. He took a

long moment to compose

Iady kissekatt: "Oh by the gods, really?" she muttered as her feet hit the

stinking water and she tried to tug her long white dress upwards with her

free hand. And she was alone, Baldur would love that. She blinked as she

moved around as much as

Georg Pryme: himself. He would not freak out about being caged in front of

them. He took the time available to study what he could see. There was a

rage smoldering in his eyes, teeth grinding as he bit back the howl that wet

his lips.

Iady kissekatt: she could in her cell.

Georg Pryme: "Someone's making really bad decisions today. The grave awaits

many this day."

ardent idolatry: It's OK, only Quinn's cell had a giant rat in it!

Georg Pryme: (There might be a very squished one in Georg's!)

edict unwritten: Quinn looked to the rat and then the rope. He attempted to

figure out what it was tied to and if the rat didn't want to give it up well

he had no problem stabbing a rat so he could help them get out of this bind.

He ignored the men

Iady kissekatt: Some of the tattoos, rather jagged ones barely seen since

her ink was white against white skin, began to move as she attempted to use

the magic of her mysticism to polymorph into a rat. (Rune Fang - polymorph)

edict unwritten: from above and began to look around for anythign that could

be of use, even going as far as looking at the other cells to see if he could

help one of them get out.

ardent idolatry: [ You can make logical attempts to get out of your cells ]

Georg Pryme: "Everyone here?" He called out only loudly enough for his

voice to carry through the room. "Anyone hurt?" He was more than a bit out

of his element.

Georg Pryme: Well, there was really only one way Georg was getting out

without assistance. He locked each of his hands around a section of the

bars, gripping tightly as he used what momentum from it that he could to

start attempting to weaken

Iady kissekatt: Cool thing about Rune Fang was she could still do all her

magic and such in the form. Perks of a mystic. She tried squeezing her rat

body through the holes of the cell to get herself out, and if she was

successful stayed in rat form

ardent idolatry: [ Noted the polymorph ]

Iady kissekatt: for the time being.

edict unwritten: Once nothing came to mind Quinn used his cloak to turn into

a bat and fly out of his cage, shifting back once he was out. He pulled the

cloak off and slid it over to Vixen to use next. [Cloak of the Bat]

ardent idolatry: If she was a small rat she'd be able to squeeze through the

lattice.

Georg Pryme: the structure of the cage. Feet braced, legs straining, using

his whole body to push all at once(Str check to break out).

ardent idolatry: Quinn can fly through one of the lattice, but would not be

able to get the cloak through to Cordelia.

ardent idolatry: [ Roll it! ]

ardent idolatry: Everyone but Cordelia is free, who is pinned against a wall

with a cage lattice over her.

ardent idolatry: From above they would hear the stomp, stomp, stomp of feet

- many feet, coming down the stairs towards them. The rat from Quinn's cage

started to scramble towards the group, Quinn specifically.

ardent idolatry: [ The rat is leveled for Quinn to fight. ]

Georg Pryme: He stumbled a bit getting to his feet after getting buffeted

with rocks, but made it there, shaking his head at his hastiness leading to

this. "Damnit . . . use what cover you can." He knew what he had to do

first.

edict unwritten: He rubbed his head, it could have been a lot worse he told

himself, dusting himself off and looking at the rat as it came at him, "you

serious?"

Iady kissekatt: She dashed and darted all over the floor, as the rocks

pummeled her ratty body, and then she headed towards Cordelia since she

hadn't been able to get out, just to stand nearby for the time being.

ardent idolatry: Bursting through the door came a hunch-back Imp, with a

strange grin on his face which only tugged up at one side, and one of his

eyeballs was bulging free of its socket. " Dinner time! " Beside him was a

half-giant female who had

ardent idolatry: to stoop, and was holding an overly large spoon. Behide

her, she was dragging Missy, who was unconcious, covered in dried blood and

missing a leg.

ardent idolatry: In Giant, she yelled. " Why are they all out of their

cages! " She didn't much approve of the rats running around, so she tried to

stomp on Bianca. Meanwhile, the Dire Rat was gunning for its meal out of

Quinn, too.

to remain as such. If

in his ear as the pistol fired its ball at Fudress while she was prone. [

groaned. [ Familiar

Georg Pryme: He gave Cordy a wink as she licked his cheek, twisting away to

see about putting an end to this. The damage he'd taken - despite his own

doing - had set his rage in full motion. He noticed the little imp shrugging

off his strike,

Georg Pryme: turning his attention to the gasping, blubbering mass that was

the Giant. He spoke back in Fudress' tongue: "Come and get it. All you can

eat." And without further prompting he brought his blade swinging in hard

right into her

there was a distinct smell of sulfur in the air as he exploded from view.

Georg Pryme: (And Body Shield Missy)

ardent idolatry: All three of them made it up the crumbling steps; it looked

like the whole house they'd been held in was imploding into a giant crater

from where they had come from. Wherever it was they finally stopped running,

it was snowing, a lo

ardent idolatry: -t.

ardent idolatry: OPEN RP

Iady kissekatt: (Did someone get the girl and I missed it?)

Georg Pryme: He hadn't made it out of there empty handed. He held the

still, unconscious form of Missy close to him as he cleared a path up and out

of the wreckage for them. He held onto the edges of his rage, doing his best

to be as delicate

ardent idolatry: ^

Georg Pryme: with Missy as he could be, especially given her current state.

There was a wild fury in his eyes, the whole talk of dinner only leaving him

one guess where the poor girl's missing appendage was. "You ladies all

right? Other than,

Iady kissekatt: She ran for the steps, up she went, out to save her life and

thankfully she did. She finally stopped when she was sure she was safe, and

looked around to see if anyone else made it out as well.

Georg Pryme: well, the damage I caused?" He turned to inspect Cordy and

Bianca, casting his gaze about for somewhere that looked as if it might be

stable to set the poor girl down.

ardent idolatry: Cord really had no issue, hop, skipping and jumping up the

stairs, and out of the crater that was forming. She was a spry little

creature when she wanted to be. Though, she was out of breath by the time she

stopped running. " That

ardent idolatry: was FUN! " She exhaled, and lifted her hands to run through

her rubble covered hair. Shaking herself off, she bounced on the heels of her

boots before motioning her head to Missy. " We're going to have to get her to

a healer. " What

ardent idolatry: was she going to do with a one-legged whore?

Georg Pryme: (She'd be wild with the Pirates. Course, she'd need a name

change to Peggy . . . )

ardent idolatry: "Anyone know where we are? "

Iady kissekatt: She was a frail hollow boned creature so it was a damn good

thing she had enough defense and was quick enough to get out or she'd have

taken quite a bit of damage. She leaned against her staff, watching the

others.

Iady kissekatt: She looked around them, to see if she saw Lake Azura

anywhere close by, or anything that would let her know where they were.

ardent idolatry: [ Spot check for me, please ]

Georg Pryme: He had no idea where they were at all, but he also had an idea

as to where they weren't. "Well, we're not a meal, so that's a start." He

kept looking about, checking for signs of any crossings, any paths.

Well she was a bird. She went right for the glinting light and picked it up

puns about rocks they just encountered. As word was spoken about Deeply

Crossing in the distance he opted to prepare himself for more pain to come

their way, setting his

disappearing as he willed his injuries away(21 points of self-heal used).

Iady kissekatt: She didn't care if it was just a shiny rock, she wasn't so

good at appraisal it seemed. A bit of tin foil often brought the ravens down

to investigate!

ardent idolatry: Bianca wouldn't notice any of its special properties, but

she'd know it was full of magic; a deep, dark, evil magic. If she looked into

it, it wouldn't be her reflection that she saw, but a different land, full of

death, fire and

ardent idolatry: brimstone.

Georg Pryme: He looked between Cordy and Bianca then, nodding to the two of

them. "Well, we're on the same plane then, it would seem. What say you?

Think we should risk trudging on over there and see if they'll lend us some

aid?" He found a

Iady kissekatt: "Ooooh." She clutched it in her hand tightly after looking

into it, being chaotic evil (even though she used mask of gentility all the

time!) she did like evil shit.

Georg Pryme: trustworthy enough seeming patch of land to set Missy down on

and then removed his cloak. He didn't have much in way of cloth, so he used

the next best thing. Pulling a jar full of water from his pack, he removed

his shirt,

Iady kissekatt: (brb I gotta finish up dinner)

ardent idolatry: The thought of walking into a Rumerian town didn't sit well

with her but there wasn't really much else she could do, she'd left her Jar

of Portal Dust in the bar! " I don't think we have much choice. It's winter,

so I'm betting it's

Georg Pryme: revealing the armor it had hidden. He promptly set about

rending the shirt into scraps, cleaning up Missy's wounds as well as he was

able. He did his best in tending to her leg, balling up some of the cloth

and tying it to keep it

Georg Pryme: from being exposed. He then bundled her up in his cloak and

set about making ready to give the same treatment to Cordy's cuts and

bruises. It wasn't actual healing, but it would at least get the muck and

grime of an imploded

Georg Pryme: building off her. Making the items available if she opted to

do so herself.

ardent idolatry: pretty empty. " Well, it was always winter in this

hellhole. " So what do you think, B - want to have some fun and mischief with

us on a regular basis? " She was inviting her fellow noble to the fun and

frolicking of The Syndicate.

Iady kissekatt: She tucked the bit away into a pouch and then grinned over

to Cordelia, "Absolutely. We will just not tell Baldur everything I get

involved in, especially if I happen to get hurt, so he doesn't go nuts." She

snickered, and headed

Iady kissekatt: for town.

Georg Pryme: He removed a charm from his belt, pressing it into Cordy's

palm, nodding to her. "Put it on something you're wearing. Should keep the

worst of the cold away til we get to shelter." That done, Georg moved back

to Missy and lifted

ardent idolatry: Oh look, Georg was fussing like an old woman; it was quite

amusing, but hey, keeping warm was always a good thing. She shook her head

and pressed it against her cloak. It didn't take her long to start following

Bianca, and Georg.

Georg Pryme: her easily, but gently, into his arms as they began their trek

to town. "I just dare these scum to deny us aid. I haven't quite had my

fill." His supplies in order in his pack again, no good leaving them behind.

He'd just have

Georg Pryme: to endure the temperature as they moved on.

ardent idolatry: Upon finding their way to town Cordelia would demand room

and board for them all at the Inne there [Skill: Always Welcome], until they

were ready to head back over the border.
