Escape from Khur

[Jerrard]

"This plan requires a Caravan, does it not? Imani doesn't know where to find one, perhaps our host might know?" Jerrard repiles, Imani did not look happy, she did not believe in the cause. Did she not understand? He had given his word, his word meant something.

"I gave my word as a Magi, as a Member of the White Robes, my word means something. It would be easy to just ignore them, save Malika and leave this place." He sighs, "Thus is the burden of morals." He stands and moves to the door. "Do you understand where i am coming from?"

[HorizonsDream]

"No," Imani says flatly. "I live in a place where people don't keep their word, or if they do there is some other intention behind it," she explains.

[Jerrard]

"So you asked for our help, and expected us to cheat or use you in some way?" Jerrard asks incredulously, looking at her in utter surprise. "Do you still expect us to cheat or use you?" He shakes his head standing in the doorway, his mouth open.

"I am a Wizard of the White Robes, Locky a Cleric of Paladine, Babuskha is Honorable, I trust Ulster and Thuskar with my life." He announces, "We will not fail you Imani, we offered to risk our lives to save your son."

"Ulster, Thuskar, do you think we should leave the Kender? Please be honest, I do not want you to end up in a situation you do not wish to be in."

[JadedDM]

Thuskar shrugs. "If you wanna spend all your money on freeing them, I'm fine with it."

Ulster takes a few more moments to gather his thoughts. "Wait, what do you mean 'a situation we don't want to be in?' I thought you were just going to buy them and then let them go."

[Jerrard]

"I plan to free them, put them on a Caravan and send them back to Shrentak, and then set on helping Malika." He explains, laughing a little, "Thus there will be no situation, freeing a damsel is fine with you I assume Ulster?"

"Can you discuss Caravans with Wahid?" He looks to Ulster and Thuskar, "I can't bare to talk to the man."

[JadedDM]

"Sure, we can look into that," Thuskar says. "If he doesn't know anything, he at least might know someone who does."

[Jenara]

"Can I come?" Locky asks, moving near Ulster, "He is funny, the Innkeeper, thinks I am a child."

[JadedDM]

"You do look like a child," Ulster says, "at least, so long as you keep your hood up. Which is probably for the best, really."

"You should probably wait in your room," Thuskar says. "And stay out of trouble until we're done."

[Jenara]

"I guess, it is rather boring, but I suppose I can ask Paladine for some spells to save Malika" Locky says slightly downcast, "Come with me Babuskha?"

[HorizonsDream]

"No, I don't believe that any of you will betray me," Imani says. "It is just what I'm use to," she tries to explain with a shrug.

[Jenara]

Locky heads to her room, assuming Babuskha will follow.

[Jerrard]

"When you come with us, you will see that things are slightly different. Not everyone is honorable, not everyone can be trusted, but there are enough to make it worthwhile."

He turns to Ulster and Thuskar. "Talk to the Innkeeper, please? I will wait here for you to come back, unless you wish to take a walk Imani? I haven't seen much of this place, it might be worth a look?"

[JadedDM]

While Locky and Babushka head back to their room, Ulster and Thuskar get up and go searching for the innkeeper, Wahid.

[JadedDM]

Imani politely declines Jerrard's offer, and heads back to her room, claiming she wanted some time alone. It was clear she was still upset about her son.

After a few minutes, Thuskar and Ulster return. "Wahid told us about a few caravans and where their leaders can be found. We'll go talk to them, see what we can arrange," Thuskar says.

[Jerrard]

"I shall come with you." Jerrard smiles, standing up and following the two men.
