Assist Noir in whatever she is doing, be hostile if she starts acting hostile. act nice if she's being nice.

[DoctorMcTaalik]

Terrance wags at the soldier with a spare fork. "YOU HAVE NOT MET MY EMPLOYER, HAVE YOU? YOU SEE HIM, YES? YOU SEE HIS SWORD? HE LOVES NOTHING BETTER THAN USING THAT SWORD, ESPECIALLY ON INSOLENT EXPENDABLES LIKE YOURSELF."

It shakes its head slowly, examining the utensils one by one. After a short pause for emphasis, it shrugs and pockets the cutlery.

 "BUT, I, I, AM A REASONABLE INDIVIDUAL. AND, MORE IMPORTANTLY, I LIKE YOUR BROTH. I CAN OVERLOOK THIS LITTLE... INDISCRETION, JUST THIS ONCE. NO NEED TO ALERT THE BOSS, EH?"

Bullshit a bit. Drink more stew.

((Apologies for the double post. I'm trying to separate the action-relevant roleplay and the irrelevant player-player roleplay for Oz's convenience.))

After dismissing the soldier, Terrance remarks to Samuel, "I WOULD AVOID CONSUMING ANYTHING AQUATIC, MYSELF. THE SEA IS A DIRTY PLACE."

((Sorry for the late reply, I have a studentjob and it's somewhat busy.))
Eat some more soup, try to look cool. I'll pick some sort of meat, vegetables or fruit lying around and swing and crush it with my ball and chain "Tha fate you wanna avoid, involves crushing stuff.".
I say this to Terrance (not important for the actual game)"I'm pretty positive somee o' them ingedrients in here were not the nicest either probably."

the soldier shies away from you. likewise, the other soldiers seem rather uncertain. Murmuring begins. The leader scowls at his fellows, but doesn't say anything.

This gets mixed results. The soldiers swallow nervously, but tighten their grips on their swords. they seem willing to fight if necessary.

Get up close to Noir, idly pet her tail
"Well couldn't find aa cat, or much of anything for you saddly, guess we can wait till back at base, eh!"

uh, sure. Creepy, a bit. but whatever.

Assist Noir in whatever she is doing, be hostile if she starts acting hostile. act nice if she's being nice.

well right now she's acting uncertain, so you stand there, hand hovering over her tail, wondering if this is really the best course of action or not.

>"Did he not?  We should rectify this oversight.  Take me to your captain.  Now."

"Yeah, maybe I'd better. You and your captain can come. The rest of you, stay here."

The soldier turns to go, gesturing for the Eye to follow. his men fall in behind him, and Dessmo stands and walks along casually. He surreptitiously signals the rest of you to follow as well.

Dar'yajira shies away from the kid before it can reach him, and hisses if the kid pursues.  Standard skittish cat behavior.  Maybe he'll give it a light scratch if it's particularly persistent.

((...Noir has cleavage?  Her character picture doesn't depict her as being... endowed.   ))

You scamper away. the kid follows. You dodge between some feet. the kid follows. Some fool trips over you and gets a cursory slash for a reward. Looks like a soldier. The kid stumbles into the group of soldiers you ran through, causing a bit of an awkward commotion. You dart off under a nearby cart and turn to watch the soldiers sort themselves out, look uncomfortably behind them (you see the Eye floating overhead) and marching onward, faces red.

((Thank God was scared he was going to decapitate noir suddenly when she came close..))
Noir seems relieved and in a curious whispered tone.
"Any recommendations for who to start with?"

[TheBiggerFish]

The Eye does its job.

[spazyak]

Go ahead, pet her tail, it is my safety blanket.

[syvarris]

Follow the group, preferably without being obvious.  Shouldn't be too difficult.

[Loki987]

I'll follow Dessmo because he wants me to after eating a big gulp of soup.

[DoctorMcTaalik]

Loosely follow along.

[Ozarck]

I have only a little time today, but dince i didn't post yesterday, I'm putting a bunch out now.

I'm also going to move this along just a little bit. What happens is that the group goes along to meet the captain, to whom Dessmo talks directly. The two converse for about half an hour. The captain seems convinced not to have you all killed as enemy combatants or dinner ingredients. In fact, he agrees to allow you some leeway and to share some intelligence in exchange for Dessmo's aid in corralling the camp a little. Especially the 'soldiers,' who are mostly conscripted young farmhands and city boys. and he also requires that you make an attempt at bringing in one of hte metal things that has been harrassing people.

Dessmo then breaks you into two groups. One must head a day's travel north, to where the Baron is entertaining guests on a hunt near his estate. Your goal is to determine the Baron's state of mind and interest level in his little project - his motivation and determination and all that. scouting and farseeing might ocfme in handy here, as well as persuasive skills.

the other group is given a list of three location to check for one of the metal thingums. there is a village half a day east, a logging camp to the south, and a river ford to the southeast. the ford is known to be home to a couple of minor harpies, so try not to get hypnotized and eaten while you are there.
 

anyway, I'll let you guys discuss who is to go where, as Dessmo is called away for a conference after he relays this information. If the teams turn out reasonably Dessmo will probably allow it, but he reserves the right to alter the groups. Mostly probably to keep Noir from getting everyone killed, or Terrance from causing a civil war.

Questions?

[TheBiggerFish]

The Eye is probably with the scouting group.

[spazyak]

Jack would go, with great reluctance, with the scouting party.

Hey, I'm only terrible at one of those things! Looks like Terrance is heading North.
^{Oh, and I'm keeping those baronic plates and utensils. In case there was any confusion.}
