Purpearl picks up Regret's Cape, "I'll hold on to it and pawn it for gold to share amongst ourselves after." Loot Distribution Purpearl - Regret's Cape "You know where you stand, and you've given us the information that we need. That's all for now, Reaper." Turning to the party, "Looks like we'll be travelling again, folks. To Ve'er it is."

"You're a mercenary after all, Reaper. If you could make yourself useful and tell us everything, we might consider knocking you out instead of ending your life right here. Battle Order >Matthias - Peashooter vs. Hel >Matthias - Peashooter vs. Hel >Russel - Crabspirator vs. Reaper >Purpearl - Potion vs. Herself >XX - XX Hand Cannon vs. Zoot Nerwen Alexis >Russel - Rebel Sword vs. Zoot

"Where have you hidden Aventine?" Remarks Purpearl as she attempts to seal the Reaper. Battle Order >Purpearl - Scroll of Sealing vs. Armoured Reaper Nerwen >Matthias >Matthias >Russel - Rebel's Sword vs. Zoot >Russel - Rebel's Sword vs. Zoot >XX - XX Hand Cannon vs. Zoot Alexis

Purpearl wonders if she should be relieved that the Zoot Guard's attack isn't effective against Russel or disappointed that Russel's Crabspirator probably isn't effective against the Zoot Guard. "Might want to hit it the first time and see how it goes, Matthias." Battle Order >XX - XX Hand Cannon vs. Hel >Russel - Crabspirator vs. Regret >Purpearl - Magical Staff, Ruby vs. Regret >Matthias - Peashooter vs. Zoot >Matthias - Peashooter vs. Zoot >Russel - Rebel's Sword vs. Regret Alexis - Nerwen -

Figuring they've probably given themselves away by lurking around in enemies' territory, Purpearl comes straight to the point, "Why are you here and where's the armoured reaper?" Battle Order Nerwen >XX - XX Hand Cannon vs. Hel >Purpearl - Magical Staff, Ruby vs. Regret >Matthias - Dapper Hat for Quickdraw Quiver >Matthias - Peashooter vs. Zoot >Russel - Rebel's Sword vs. Zoot Alexis - Whip vs. Zoot >Russel - Crabspirator vs. Regret

"More along the lines of... Armoured Reaper wouldn't come out unless we have her think that Magnar is actually here? I doubt anyone here can wield that huge axe effectively enough to attract her attention. Perhaps Alexis can give the stone a couple of knocks with the smaller axe, hopefully it's enough? But we have yet to find an entrance though. If not, we might have to go through the hard way, either by staking out or blowing the stone into bits."

"We should catch the Reaper by surprise, so alerting her by blowing things up might not be such a good idea." Purpearl inspects the stone structure, looking for an entry of some sort. While she's on it, her hand silently dips into her pouch for an Aquamarine, as a precaution. "If we can't get through this to the Reaper, we will have to get her to come to us. She's supposed to meet Magnar here in R'kilf, isn't she? Perhaps we could give this stone a knock with his Axe(s)?"

"You have kept your side of the bargain and brought us to the armoured reaper. You and the Count can trust that I, Purpearl, will be silent about everything tonight." OOC: In other words, Purpearl gives up Hinckwell rep for Shadeaux rep.

Loot Distribution Alexis - 43 gold, Nostrum Matthias - 44 gold, Remedy Nerwen - 44 gold, Remedy Purpearl - 44 gold, 2xPotion "We can move along now, though I'm sure the Chief will be back."

OOC: Purpearl should have dealt ((15*2+14)*2)-1=87 Damage, KOing it. Russel would do 72 Damage to the Chief instead, stealing 30 gold. "I appreciate your kind massage, Chief, but that wasn't really necessary." Battle Order Nerwen - Mourning Star vs Chief >XX - Hand Cannon vs Swordsman A >Purpearl - Magical Staff, Ruby vs Spearman B >Matthias - Peashooter vs Chief >Matthias - Peashooter vs Chief >Russel - Crabspirator vs Spearman A >Russel - Crabspirator vs Swordsman B Alexis - Fan vs Chief Shawe - Backstabber, Mimic Barbarian vs Chief

"Oh. We are fighting now." says Purpearl, emotionlessly. Battle Order Nerwen - Mourning Star vs Swordsman A >XX - Hand Cannon vs Swordsman B >Purpearl - Magical Staff, Ruby vs Crossbowman >Matthias - Dapper Hat for Quickdraw Quiver >Matthias - Peashooter vs Spearman B >Russel - Crabspirator vs Spearman A >Russel - Crabspirator vs Crossbowman Alexis - Fan vs Chief Shawe - Backstabber, Mimic Barbarian vs Chief

"Shall I say that the idea of us watching the granaries overnight is put forth to us by the man, Henry Hinckwell himself? Unless there's a traitor within, we're not going to find any Hinckwells tonight or anytime soon. Smart men like you should know that the Hinckwells are here for other reasons, a more covert one, perhaps some sort of spying? And they could have hired bandits to rob your granaries to divert your attention and resources away from them. I'm just saying. We can watch your granaries for you, still doesn't hide the fact that the Hinckwells are here to spy."

"I do believe that the Hinckwells aren't the culprits, but they are here for other reasons. Perhaps there are issues greater than granaries and robberies, something that you might want to investigate further. We're on a tight schedule, so staking out at your granaries would not be our long term solution to your problems, since we are not certain when the robbers will strike next. It is best if you hire extra Heroes who will most likely get to the bottom of this." "I believe we have an appointment with the Armoured Reaper that you promised to lead us to?"

"Never say never, there are exceptions of course." Purpearl pulls and straightens her tunic a couple of times, making sure it is taut. "Seems to me that we're no longer needed here, I, Purpearl, will clear your name with the citizens of R'kilf. If you would put in a good word for everyone here as well, we should get going."

"It's the ones that kiss your boots and lick your shield that you should be wary of. I can't wear that helmet for you, hopefully it isn't too loose." Looking at what's going on. "Perhaps we should tell the Shawes that Hinckwells aren't the culprits, so we can be on our way. They can hire their own heroes if they really want to get to the bottom of this."

"Beware of that anger trap, Grady. Can't you see this confrontation's all planned out? I am the evil Mage and the holy Paladin comes in to save the day? There's no way that Paladin is going to be the bad person around here, so I am left with no choice, since I do not possess the aura to influence one's heart through the light of the stars. Besides, we are only here for information, not to wage war against the Houses." Clearly what Purpearl said isn't the truth, as there's an essence of sarcasm embedded within.

Purpearl lets out a short and reflexive laugh, "My impression of you seem to suggest otherwise." Speaking to the Hinckwell Trio,[/i] "Maybe you can recognise that Paladin, maybe not. But let me introduce her to you. Her name's Nerwen Calmcacil and her name's reputable amongst many Houses in Eubric. It doesn't matter if you don't listen to me, but you should at least listen to what the Paladin has to say. Let her words shine through you so that you might be enlightened."

"We are not hired by the Shawes, if that isn't clear enough. There are people who suspect it was the Hinckwells that robbed the granaries, so the three of you should at least try to clear your name. Tell me, what brings you to R'kilf and why are you seen wandering around?"

"Why ask the leader when you have already decided, Paladin?"

Purpearl wonders for a second why everyone in the party has gone quiet. She is prepared to strike, as Mage like herself does not posses any diplomatic skills to be effective in situations like that.

Purpearl prepares herself, just in case Grady attacks. Battle Order >Purpearl - Scroll of Sealing Nerwen >XX - XX Handcannon Matthias >Russell - Crabspirator "We should've knocked, but there's no cause for alarm here. Over the past few days, our granary's been broken into, the citizens of R'kilf are concerned with your recent arrival to the town and are pretty sure you are the culprits. Mind telling us where you've hidden the stuff that you've robbed?"

"Take care, we'll be back shortly." Signalling to the Shawes, "Alright, Grady it is," and Purpearl heads off to the inn with the party.

"We met the Armoured Reaper not long ago, but we do not know where to look. I appreciate the opportunity you've given us, but this is a decision that might potentially affect one's standing with the Hinckwells. I do not speak for the rest, I will accept your offer. Besides, XX and Russell can take that opportunity to rest while we are there."

"We're here to pay Lord Chauncey and the Armoured Reaper a visit." Purpearl catches the conversation between Nerwen and Matthias. She turns and looks away from the duo. There is no surprise what their topic of conversation would be, she thought to herself.

"Aren't we here for the event? Perhaps if Lord Chauncey has invited some guests to his day of reckoning, they could provide us with some headway as to where it is going to be. If not, surely someone would recognise Lord Chauncey if he is here." Purpearl doesn't quite understand Matthias, seems like he has developed a habit of talking in tongues that only a selected few could understand.
