Larkin turns towards the Mayor, speaking in a quiet, even voice, "Well Mayor, it seems as though you were correct and these new friends of ours could indeed use some help, as it seems the thief is more elusive than even previously thought. If she used magic to get away, then perhaps I can be of assistance the next time she is found. I would like to go ahead and assist the group if that is alright with you."

His eyes are alight with excitement at the thought of the chase/adventure ahead, and you can see small motes of energy flicker in and around his person. He looks much like the person in the pictures below, but with a more White and Black color scheme, a mixture of cleric robes/vestments/armor, and he has iconography and a mask at his side that speak to him being a follower of the god Nethys.

Continuing: Logrith and Mara have discovered where the trail ends...

The thief, she's gone down that sink hole at the far end and base of the terraced salt leaching hill.
It seems mounts will not be able to follow.

"What! the stone! it was taken?", the Mayor is furious.
The mayor calms, takes a breath, and says to Sudamon, "I have no choice. I invoke the contract".
Sudamon, Mara, and Logrith wherever you are You freeze in place...

A slight detail of the contract states: ...At each port you would greet the Bourger'Manster and follow the instructions given to you to retrieve the taxes due....

The Mayor says aloud, "without the azure stone, there will be no fertility here. None! My little village will NOT be able to grow anything, all of the crops will die within the next day and the wells have already run dry. I charge you to retrieve the azure stone at all costs, or you will not be given your precious burden." and those bound by the contract can hear it, in their heads, heart, and soul.

Thunder rolls, from a cloudless sky, and the sun sets at last. The mayor points to Tarquin and Larkin, "You men will aid them in their task."

White Claw is more than a mount. Is he included in the cave ban?

Gm: no... Bears can climb like its going out of style. https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.b2VNspZqzqtTAviqMhnXvwHaF7?w=255&h=199&c=7&o=5&dpr=1.2&pid=1.7
Horses on the other hand...
REALIST sent a note to Windyridge
Not so much.

The horses would be come luggage waiting for; blocks, tackle, pulleys, ropes, cargo-slings, and exhausting work at every climb too steep for them.

Mara looks at Logrith once the contract has been invoked and scowls. "Next time we hire a lawyer or better still just walk away from anyone we have bow down before and address with an honorific."

She sticks 4 fingers in her mouth and lets out a piercing whistle to attract Sudamon and the mayors attention, "I mean if I am going to waste my time chasing after some thieving tart in a crimson scarf I want it to be because I want to chase after her not because some lord mayor demands it of me."

Larkin inclines his head towards the Mayor, gives a nod and kicks his mount lightly in the sides aiming towards where the elven woman called out from. He rummages in a pouch, grasping a small smooth stone and lets it float out of his hand, where it flies up and orbits around his head, glowing with a soft, blue flame.

Arriving by the sinkhole, he raises a hand in greeting to the dwarf and elf, "Hello and well met to both of you, I am Larkin, a devotee of Nethys. It is a pleasure to meet you both, and I stand ready to assist in any way I can on this endeavor."

The hooded young man climbs down from his horse. He draws back his hood. A headband, set with a dark purple gem, holds back his dark hair. "I am called Tarquin, Tarquin Terentius Varro," he says. He wears dark studded leathers, a short sword and dagger strapped to his hips. With a sparkle in his eye, he says, "let us catch a thief."

Well well now. Who is up for a little cave diving? White claw would be chomping at the bit if he had one. As if in agreement, the bear makes a small woofing sound. What do you say Mara?
Mar 5, 2020 3:07 am
Mara slips off her horse adjusts her top and smooths the open skirt over her trousers. The dusty skinned desert Elf sizes up Tarquin and Larkin with her oversized amethyst eyes. "Mara," she says quietly, there’s an Osiriani accent to her common, "Marashepsut Numara, not very elvish I know. Your thief scurried into this hole, we were about head in, you are welcome to join us of course."

Mara looks over the newcomers’ shoulders at the mayor, "Do you have someone who can watch after my horse Malik? I would hate to loose her."

Yes of course, the rest of you can help. Although I don't know you and hope you are....uh...dependable.
As an afterthought Logrith adds, and the bear always has my back.

Sudamon Says, "I'll tend the beasts. Nothing has broken my spirit so much as that damned contract, I'd rather die fighting than running some errand!"
OOC:
GM: For now Sudamon is unable to join us. I do not know how long it may be.

End IRL DAY; Re-cap: Pre-dungeon entry. no one said being a hero was going to be easy...
Mar 5, 2020 1:48 pm
Larkin dismounts, dropping off to the side of his mount. Giving the horse a soft pat he will send the horse back towards Sudamon, "Thank you, I appreciate you and your aid in this."

Turning back to the group and the cave, he whispers a soft prayer and the bluish flames that glow softly from the orbiting aeon stone flare up, casting a brilliant blush light in the area around. A smile lights up his face as he gazes at the flames, the tingling of the magic still dancing across his skin, "I am happy to light our path, although I do not know if I am the best equipped to be the front line for our party, as I do not tend to wear much armour. Perhaps you dwarf and your sturdy bear would like to spearhead this effort and I shall follow close behind to provide light for you?"

As he says this, he is running quick checks on his gear, weapons, and the light armour he does wear, making sure all is in place. The black and white mask swings slightly from where it is attached to his belt.

I am going to grab some dungeon geomorph tiles and such. I need to build this dungeon to be bigger.
Mar 5, 2020 5:13 pm
The entry way is a 10ft drop. Sudamon belays you all down with his rope. Inside, the tunnel seems composed of gray clay, with wetness only at the lowest points.

We surly are up to the task. Let's go White Claw. Logrith is barely finished talking when the bear clambers down the shaft, not needing any rope. He then grabs the rope and makes quick work of the climb down.
Mar 5, 2020 7:16 pm
Larkin will follow behind Logrith, grasping the rope and sliding down. The small stone continues to orbit around his head, throwing off a bright bluish light for the group to see by. Once down, he will take stock of the area and look for anyone hiding, or waiting for the group down the shaft.
