An enigmatic traveller in black seeks entry to Treve.

[14:37] anahit (beaniebotts): saw the bow of the head from Master and heard His words anahit laid the bota on the table as told do of Him"yes Master"she said in a soft tone of voice following the command
[14:41] anahit (beaniebotts): anahit then looked in the direction Master had taken an interest to and noticed a Lady sitting alone at the table anahit wondered if she wanted a drink or something to eat

[14:44] Darson Messmer takes another large long mouthful of Mead "Shall we go have a chat Vicent see how I can help you with your problem" he smirks "There is something happening in the feilds we shall head that way will be easier to talk in private when everyone is looking at something else' he stands up yawning taking another mouthful of mead emptying the glass and drops it down onto the table.

[14:45] Vincent Cassady (leeroy.flagstaff) reached into his pouch and pulled out 10 copper and set it on the table... he placed both hands on the table and stood up, grasping the handle of his bota with his left hand and nodded his head "Lead on..."
[14:46] Vincent Cassady (leeroy.flagstaff) gazed down at the gathering.... "Quite"

[14:49] Darson Messmer moes up the ladder onto the top looking over the field "Yes, yes it is" he turns leaning on the side of the top of the wall looking at the man "What is it that you seek sir maybe you are looking for a person?" he folds his arms "but I have a feeling you seek something worth more in price correct?"

[14:50] Vincent Cassady (leeroy.flagstaff) glances towards the man "I confronted a mercenary of Treve earlier asking for some information..... I suppose there is really no need for me to hide what it is I'm seeking...."
[14:51] Vincent Cassady (leeroy.flagstaff) reached down towards his belt and pulledo ut the same coin pouch he had placed on the table for the mercenary to grab but he refused.... he tossed it on the wall right between himself and the warrior "The bag contains 8 gold coins, that's more wealth then most men could even dream of...."

[14:52] Darson Messmer shakes his head his face turning more serious know along with his tone "Yes well 8 gold coins is alot of coin" he looks at the pouch then back at the man "For that amount you must be seeking a location of something correct Vincent?" he chuckles slight humored

[14:55] Vincent Cassady (leeroy.flagstaff) moved forward and placed his hands on the edge of the stone tower he was standing on and watched the spectacle below.... "You're not a dumb man and neither am I.... there is more then being hired swords that you warriors from Treve stand in MInus and conduct your business... I know Treve is near by and I don't nkow where.... but I assure you, it's only time until I find it..... I suppose you could take the coin and use it in needs of aiding any war efforts, personal greed or even help the people of Treve, it's not my concern what you do with it.... but I want the location of the city.... and it's only time till I find it...."

[15:02] Darson Messmer pushes himself off the wall moving towards the bag of coins "Well Vincent finding the city isn't that easy." he laughs then clears his throat "Warriors scout the passes and traps are hidden all over the passes" he sctachs his chin "You can't go by tarn because you wont land and if you do the armies of Treve will eat you" he stops "I have an idea my good friend" he reachs down taking the pouch off the wall openning it and looks into it counting the coins "I can get you the seal of Treve and a map up to treve with spots were the traps are" he pauses "We will have to work together and I can call away the warriors on that day or so, I will meet you up into treve so you may enter without any problems the seal is so you may not be questioned by one of the warriors or anyone why you are there. They will see you as a new citizen"

[15:08] Vincent Cassady (leeroy.flagstaff) smirks as his gaze turned towards the man, it was a cold glare he gave... but then he began to chuckle... "Aye, I contemplated tarn travel.... however they are not subtle as I prefer to be...." he glances towards the man "I don't believe that people of your city would believe that an assassin was a new citizen.... we don't swear homestones...." he glances back forward towards the whipping "The map will do well and the seal, care to evaluate how you believe the warriors would look at myself carrying that? I know most aren't too fond of the black caste...." he pondered for a moment "I would prefer if you did not know the day I came in.... if you could give me perhaps information on patrol paths?"

[15:14] Darson Messmer ponders the thought for a few second shifting his head form side to side "Yes I can't get you the petrol paths but I can make a map so if you leave when the sun is highest in the sky you will miss the patrols and get to the city quickly aswel" he scratchs his chin "Getting into the city is another thing, the seal should get you through the gates but you might need to get your target quickly without people knowing what is going on" he smirks cheekly "Who is your target?'

15:17] Vincent Cassady (leeroy.flagstaff) chuckles slightly "You know, this behavior you're doing is considered treasonous... you could very well be in the same situation that man on the cross is...." he glanced back over "If I told you the target then my job would become that much harder and the use of you not putting a sword through me would no longer bre present. It's not that I don't trust you.... it's that I prefer to keep information to a need to know basis.... I believe you'd find out just as everyone else would who the target would be."

[15:21] Darson Messmer looks back to Vincent "Sorry about that" he nods "Yes I understand can't blame me for asking right" he chuckles "I'm what you may call a hidden hand no one will see what I am doing nor will get wind of what is happening until you are there and the person is dead" smirks "Then it will be too late and I wont leave no traces for myself to be traced apon" he looks at the money "This money will get you all the way into the hidden city" he scratchs his chin once more "Getting out is the problem, once someone is found dead the city will be in high alert and tarning out wont be an option"

[15:24] Vincent Cassady (leeroy.flagstaff) smirks "You think I'm going to go into the city and kill the person with out finding an escape route prior? I'm certain I'll make several trips into the city before I do anything... that is not of my worries...." he glances over "You know... there was several warriors who seen me speak with a mercenary named Morde.... and they all knew I was trying to persuade him into paying me the secret of the location of the city...." he shrugs his shoulders "you scratch my back I just scratched yours.... you have a person to take the fall should it come down to someone being blamed for how I knew how to get in...."

[15:29] Darson Messmer laughs slightly nodding "Yes you would be surprised what people have tired in the past after seeing treve" he chuckles once more for a few seconds "We shall meet up again once I have the maps and seal but once that happens we will have to meet again so I can tell you the path to treve and which way to go each day it is a different route so I will keep you in the loop once everything gets flowing"

[15:32] Vincent Cassady (leeroy.flagstaff) bows his head slightly "Aye, I will be around for quite some time.. I'm sure I will see you again in Minus...." he watches the people start to disperse

[15:35] Darson Messmer nods looking over his shoulder at the crowd seeing them leaving "Ok I shall find you when I have the imformation" he takes the pouch and ties it to his belt "After you"

[15:35] Vincent Cassady (leeroy.flagstaff) bows his head slightly as he heads down the ladders
[15:37] Vincent Cassady (leeroy.flagstaff) glances over at the man and bows his head "Till next time...." he heads off out the door with out another word.

[15:38] Darson Messmer nods "Yes til next time" he turns and heads out of the other door.

What hapened just before that:

[2012/01/30 13:05] Vido Sciarri "the very man" i npod greeting to mord "this man claims to have funds mord and whishes his ememies laid low"

[2012/01/30 13:06] Vincent Cassady (leeroy.flagstaff) glances from Vido towards Mord, eyeing the mans appearance, he certainly fits the role of what he believes a mercenary should look like, not the warrior who told him he was one earlier .... "Tal..."

[2012/01/30 13:07] Vido Sciarri "tal jacko" i greet the man i have known for years" girl see to these men and be quick about it"

[2012/01/30 13:07] Mordachai (mordachai.draegonne): "Tal..", he greeted, holding his hand in the air, palm inwards as he noted the commander. "I am sure we can oblige to his requests, depending on the number of men he requires.". With that, he gestured to a seat at the nearest table: "Feel free to have a seat sir, unless you would rather discuss matters somewhere more private?"

[2012/01/30 13:08] Raissa (cecilia.mynx) was quiet as she normally would be, a soft smile sent to all inside. She hovers just behind her Master until he says to serve and moves first to the visitor "Master what can i fetch for you to drink?"

[2012/01/30 13:09] Vincent Cassady (leeroy.flagstaff) let out a slight cold chuckle as he looked around the area "Well, this isn't a slum tavern like you would see in Port Kar, I believe the people of Minus would not like such talk to be done at a public inn.... if you would have somewhere in mind?" he questioned as he glanced down towards the girl and waved her away with his left hand shaking his head "No"

[2012/01/30 13:10] Raissa (cecilia.mynx) gave a brief nod 'yes Master,' she is quick to rise up to feet and move towards the man near the Master Mord "might i fetch anything for you Master?" she offers softly.

[2012/01/30 13:11] Mordachai (mordachai.draegonne): "My usual..", he told the slave: "If you can remember what that is, bring it to my bakery." He then turned back to the Assassin and remarked: "That should be private enough, i daresay i havent made much sales in the past few hands so i am sure we will not be disturbed."

[2012/01/30 13:12] Raissa (cecilia.mynx) smiles 'yes Master, blackwine ..one white , one yellow sugar and a splash of cream coming right up...' but voice trails as he mentions the bakery and she cringes at the mess he would find there. Small feet carry her quickly away before he might notice the flour that coated her flesh.

[2012/01/30 13:13] Vincent Cassady (leeroy.flagstaff) brings his hands together infront of them and crosses them just below his waist. He inclines his head and turns slightly on his right foot pointint it towards the back door of the inn motioning that he is ready to go.... he glanced back at Mord awaiting to follow.

[2012/01/30 13:14] Mordachai (mordachai.draegonne): "If you would follow me then..", he nodded, taking a few steps towards the other end of the establishment before pulling away the curtain and stepping out into the light.

[2012/01/30 13:15] Vincent Cassady (leeroy.flagstaff) bows his head towards Vido "Thank you." he then glanced towards Jacko once more and headed out to follow

[2012/01/30 13:17] Raissa (cecilia.mynx) liked that his back was to the mess and hoped he'd not notice such until she was far, far away from the shop. rai falls to her knees at his boot, the cup of blackwine, made to his liking moves to lips where rai kisses it softly. Holding the vessel up his way she murmurs low 'Your blackwine Mster, i hope it is to you liking."

[2012/01/30 13:18] Mordachai (mordachai.draegonne): "Place it on the table and be off..", he told the slave, giving her a dismissive wave of the hand. His eyes focused on the killer, he was not used to having those that wore the black as his employers. "" Take a seat if you will, good sir, and tell me what it is you seek?"

[2012/01/30 13:19] Raissa (cecilia.mynx) rose up to her feet, he did not have to speak to the girl twice and she quickly lays his drink upon the table, only pausing to give the Master Mord a bright smile 'i wish you well Masters,' rai calls before leaving to seek out her owner once more.

[2012/01/30 13:20] Vincent Cassady (leeroy.flagstaff) glances towards the little stool, he smirks "I feel as if I may break it..."

[2012/01/30 13:22] Mordachai (mordachai.draegonne): "It is quite sturdy i assure you, ,my late companion used to sit on it all day and she had breasts the size of... well lets just say they were quite big."

[2012/01/30 13:22] Vincent Cassady (leeroy.flagstaff) chuckles as he walks over towards it slightly pullint it out from the table and takes a seat, resting his back to the wall.

[2012/01/30 13:24] Mordachai (mordachai.draegonne) took the seat across from him and waited to see what the man had to say.

[2012/01/30 13:24] Vincent Cassady (leeroy.flagstaff) placed his left hand on the hilt of his sword and pushed it down so it was laying next to his leg, it prevented from it sticking up and hitting him in the ribs as he was sitting, he then grasped a pouch filled with some amount of coin but he did not say just yet, he simply presented it to show he had money "So, before I ask specifically what I am looking for.... I hope you don't mind a little bit of probing for general information?"

[2012/01/30 13:27] Mordachai (mordachai.draegonne): "That would all depend on the kind of information you are seeking , ofcourse..", he began, rubbing his beard in thought. His eyes followed the purse, coin was always his weak spot: ".. But most everything has its price."

[2012/01/30 13:29] Vincent Cassady (leeroy.flagstaff) nods slightly... he glanced out the window still seeing the warrior near by... he kept his tone quiet, it's not that he was hiding his questions, he just did not want to give out his interest to anyone but to he was visibly talking to, he had an issue with being evesdropped on "So, I understand that you're a mercenary.... but I was recommended to you from a warrior of Treve, does that mean to me that you are sworn to their steel?"

[2012/01/30 13:34] Mordachai (mordachai.draegonne): "I am.. ", He nodded: "Though i lead the mercenaries, they are all men of Treve. We are not the sort of mercenaries you would regularly encounter, rabble that join together under the banner of any who have the coin to pay them. We, sir, are all of the Warriors. I myself was born in the Hidden City and am one of its Captains."

[2012/01/30 13:42] Vincent Cassady (leeroy.flagstaff) lets out a slight sigh... knowing now that things would be slightly more difficult.... he grabs the pouch and sets it in the middle of this table.... "Now, I am going to be blunt... and I'm going to evaluate the situation we currently have at hand....." he withdrew his hand and left the pouch in the center of the table "In that pouch contains 8 golden tarns.... a fortune that most men couldn't even dream of seeing in their life time...." his eyes turned into a cold glare as he did not break eye contact anymore... "I am trying to do my job just as much as you are.... " he paused for a moment "I understand that there is quite the number of warriors from Treve in Minus, what this tells me is one of two things.... Treve is fairly close by, because warriors would not risk leave the walls of their city and keep it undefended if they couldn't hastely return to it in it's defense, whether it's hidden or not does not justify such behaviors..... or...... this tells
me that the amount of men built up in Treve is unheard of across Gor and is most definitely a force to be reckoned with, but the reason why this is not even a consideration of mine is because this city is well hidden, I am a trained professional at the art of hunting and I still have not found this city.... yet....." he crossed his arms over his chest now "Now you can take the coin.... inform me of the location of this city... and put the fortune to good use helping those where it may need be, aiding any war efforts of Treve may have or keep it for yourself, I don't care..... and give me the required information I ask and possibly have more work later down the road that I could put for the same amount of coin if not more for..... or...... you could turn down my offer, keep your silence, and just know that if I don't find out from you.... I will find out... It's just a matter of time.... I already know it's near by.... and with that being known it wont be hard for me to get that information I seek...."

[2012/01/30 13:49] Mordachai (mordachai.draegonne) glanced at him, a fire smouldering behind his cold grey eyes. His hand crept forward over the table, hovering above the pouch of coins untill he let it drop and pushed the pouch back towards the Killer. "You make a good argument, i must compliment you on that, but the reason Minus has Warriors of Treve visiting so frequently is because they pay us a yearly levie in gold. In return we offer protection, hence the readily available force. Tempting as your offer is, it would be treasonous for me to accept and, even though we spoke in private, my Commander saw us together, he even introduced us. Should you find your way to the City with my help, and you succeed in your task, it would be evident that i betrayed its location. Nay sir, in this matter i cannot assist you."

[2012/01/30 13:53] Vincent Cassady (leeroy.flagstaff) bowed his head slightly respecting the man's words.... he reached forward and grasped the pouch of coins and then places them back onto his belt.... "Aye, then I suppose it would be best for your safety and security of this matter to inform him of my interests.... to keep yourself from being held accountable...." he reached back down and reached into a pouch he used more commonly and pulled out a silver tarn.... "Time is money and I would like to pay you for your time..." he slid it towards the man, not invading his personal space but allowing it to be farther then the center.... "Believe it or not... you have given me more information then I expected.... so I thank you...."

[2012/01/30 13:55] Mordachai (mordachai.draegonne): "By law you have the right to hunt for your mark, i shall not stand in your way of doing so.", he nodded, rising to his feet: "I wish you luck on your efforts."

[2012/01/30 13:56] Raissa (cecilia.mynx) glances down to the filthy camisk, seeing her owner had taken off she moves to the small bathing room of the inn to finish cleaning and change her clothes.

[2012/01/30 13:56] Vincent Cassady (leeroy.flagstaff) chuckles with a slight smirk playing on his lips "Aye, this I understand..." he placed his hands on the table and rised as well "If you're certain I can not persuade you to speak otherwise... then I will be off..."

[2012/01/30 13:57] Mordachai (mordachai.draegonne): "I wish you well."

[2012/01/30 13:57] Vincent Cassady (leeroy.flagstaff) bowed his head towards the man as he headed for the door "Black Gold and Steel" he said with a smirk as he trailed out of the bakery.
