Shagos Happenings - Rayman and GeeGee

[Chris1234]

GG looks up and around to note landmarks (as well as anything interesting) until they reach the nobles' house.

[Nocturno]

The pair sees nothing remarkable. Shops of all kinds. You can make notes of any kind of shop for all mundane goods, and several shops that look like they may sell magical type items.
(These will easily be find-able if you ever want to purchase something.)

When the new duo shows up at the house a guard looks at them with a raised eyebrow. The pair makes an interesting sight, even in a city where all the races mingle.

"Yes?"

[BishGada]

"Hello. Is this the residence of Homeforger house? We were sent by the Trade office." Flatbelly shows the note and just now consider this sentence doesn't sounds so convincing. "Their sign is a gear with a lightning in the middle..." he tries to help the guard.

[Chris1234]

"You wanted quality guards," adds GG, doing his best to look 'quality'.

[Nocturno]

"Quality guards." He quirks an eyebrow.

"We'll see what the Master has to say."

The human will stand up and pull a string.

The door will open and an older obviously war scarred gruff looking Dwarf emerges.

"Aye, you two come along."

[Chris1234]

GG follows.

[BishGada]

So does Flatbelly.

[Nocturno]

The Dwarf turns back into the house and starts to walk. "Welcome to House Homeforger, I am Begnead Head of the Guard." He will lead them to a comfortable looking room. He will motion for them to sit.

Seconds after he motions them to sit, a stately looking Gnome will enter. The Dwarf makes introductions.
"My Lord, these are our new recruits, GeeGee, and Rayman, both new to the city. GeeGee, Rayman, my Lord Frugold Homeforger."

There will be a slight pause, if the players are not seated, Frugold will not sit until they do. If they don't get the hint the Dwarf will motion for them to sit with a slight huff.

"Gentlemen." the lord says, addressing them politely. "As you are new to the city, you may or may not know of the current influx of refugees from the Eastern side of the Inner Sea. The Black Dragon problem, has become a Black Dragon army, honest,and dishonest folk alike have started migrating West." He will clear his throat. "My Son Horryn is co-chairing a committee on how to deal with a problem that has come with the refugees. An illicit substance is making its rounds in our cities. The committee is a collaboration between Shagos, and Cladmont. The meeting will be held 9am the day after next. I am hopeful that everything will be peaceful, but the groups involved in this illegal trade are bold and powerful, and I must protect my family."

[Chris1234]

GG bows to the dwarf and then sits when indicated.

When Lord Homeforger is introduced, GG stands, bows more deeply than before, "Milord!" and then sits again.
He has no questions at this time.

[BishGada]

Flatbelly is less sure how to act than GeeGee. He waves his hand as politely as he can think is acceptable and smiles shyly. When the matter is presented by the house lord he asks, "So you want us to guard your son from assassination or other harm. Anyone else besides him? May we know who might be the enemies? What will be the rules of who is allowed in and who doesn't between the refugees?"

[Nocturno]

Smiling a polite smile Frugold answers. "Yes, please protect him as your own. The party will consist of you and my son. I assume the Cladmont delegation will have a guard or two with their representative as well." With a long slow breath he will continue. "Who the enemy is, we don't have a clear one yet, but it seems they seem to come from all walks of life, anyone who is unfortunate enough to have tried these new substances." He then clears his throat. "As for policies, that is what they are meeting to discuss, how to pick a committee, how to elect members, and rules for the discussions. We have just started to grasp this problem, so we must act swiftly to stop an epidemic." Raising his eyebrows. "Any other questions?"

[Chris1234]

GG waits to see if his companion has any more questions before asking about the nature and effects of the substance (or substances) and whether floor plans are available for the location of the meeting. His other query would be whether all present (for the meeting) could be tested for knowingly having consumed the substance(s), e.g. by use of Zone of Truth spell.

[BishGada]

"Well. No more questions." Flatbelly says, hesitates a bit and adds, "It is probably not my place and doesn't concern the specific duty, but refugees can be an issue in many aspects. If the refugees knows there is someone who cares for them and that they are not second class citizens there might be much less offense on their side. If they can see a plan that it's goal is to help them and not as showing mercy, but as equals, it would help much. For example you can use them as working force to build new sections of the city, or to grow crops and as payment they can inhabit it or get food." He says not sure if it has any meaning in the current situation. "In any case we would be honored to protect life in such morally important occasion."

[Nocturno]

Watching the Gnome and listening Frugold thinks for a moment. "Well, you must have some experience with this. Thank you for the insight from the "outside". We pride ourselves on keeping this city safe, and inclusive, and we find being harsh to only those that deserve it keeps most happy."

In reply to GG. "We have not set a meeting place yet. That will happen the morning of the meeting. Yes there will be security measures in place at the meeting. We believe we are dealing with unscrupulous factions, who will have no qualms about entering the meeting place via less than desirable ways." IE: Sewers/waterways other entrances. "We have managed to keep the streets of Shagos and Cladmont safe without the show of force for quite some time. We do not relish thinking about enforcing public safety by show of force." He will sigh.
"The substance which is the subject of our concern is called Blur. It will temporarily boost your Agility and ability to perform manually dextrous tasks, BUT; it is addictive after the first dose, and has ill consequences for anyone who uses it. Cure Disease, and Restoratorative magics seem to help those afflicted, if they are helped before the effects are permanent."

Medicine or History check to see if you have ever heard of this "Blur" drug please.
