OOC:
Were we told not to look in the packages? Are they sealed in such a way that would make doing so hard?
Eager to grab any opportunity to get to see the frikkin magic sabban, Ane was not too bothered by the details of what they were delivering.

You weren't told not to look, but it's kind of understood that couriers shouldn't poke into their parcels.

"I don't really want to get on the big mans bad side. I say we leave it alone and just deliver it." And Garrett will head off in the direction of the drop off.
Mar 8, 2025 3:51 pm
"I agree." Ane says, if it is something would rather not know about she would rather not know about it. "Let's do the job."

Asha
"Just curious," Asha says innocently with a mischievous smile, but doesn't push it further as they head towards their destination.

The servant who accepts the package is an unremarkable vaporous apparition with a pointy goatee. He dismisses you politely, with a small bag of silver that will pay your way for a while.
OOC:
each gain 6 coin.
You make it back to Erare Sabban without incidents.

"That seem like a lot for very little work?" Ane says to her companions eyeing the 18 coin suspiciously. It is more money than she has had in one place and she is suddenly worried about thieves... other thieves, she would not steal someone's hard-earned wages.

"You go on without me." Ane says. Wanting to take a better look around the area, maybe try find someone who can teach her more about magic, some of the principles and technical skills to augment her natural abilities.

Garrett will report back that the delivery went off without a hitch. He is thinking about using some of his coins for some new gear.
OOC:
Can I go shopping?

Ane learned Disguise.

Garrett got his knives and armor.

One night you were well into it at Inki's when Big Zhad sat down heavily next to you. He reached out and took the pipe, took a deep drag on it, passed it off.

"We gotta problem," he said, "it's not small. Dalana — you know her? — she's got missing. With a valuable package from the docks." He looks at you seriously. "Want you three to find the package. And Dalana. Last thing she was s'posed to be going up to Khanduq Ward, Sholeh Sabban. Way outta our area, but the customer paid extra." He slowly shakes his head. "We maybe bit more than we could chew …" Shrugs. "Anyway, look into it. Bring back all you can."
OOC:
What do you each know about Dalana?
Mar 20, 2025 9:27 pm
"That's not like Dalana." Ane says, she always found Dalana to be very reliable and trustworthy. "Something must have happened to her.

"Have any of you ever been up there?" She asks the others.
Mar 20, 2025 10:19 pm
Garrett hearing the story and watching everyone get the feeling."Hope she wasn't feeling to good during the job. She always did partake a little too much if you ask me."He shakes his head"Got to keep your wits about you." He thinks a minute"My work never took me to that area."
Mar 21, 2025 4:50 pm
OOC:
I also was wondering about physical descriptors.
Mar 22, 2025 2:25 am
"What do you mean?" Ane asks Garrett while holding in a large pull from the pipe Zhad handed to her. Dalana is older than the members of the group, and Ane always sorta looked up to her and followed in her footsteps.

Asha
"As long as she has her staff, I'm sure she's alright," Asha adds. An image of the woman's grey dreads swirling as she spun with her silver staff came to mind. Her bright smile beaming in contrast to the dark, almost charcoal, skin of her face that seemed to absorb the midday sun of Calimport as she taught Asha how to defend herself. Without her lessons, Asha's own staff would only be a wooden tool to aid her walking when she grew old.

Despite her comment, the news of Dalana's disappearance was unsettling.

"Khanduq ward? I've never been that far north in the city. But I've heard it's where the best markets in the city were initially build. It's strange, just yesterday I learned the jewel khanduq there is still considered the best in the city."
OOC:
Apparently a khanduq is a special type of permanent market in Calimport. I'm imagining the fantasy version of a high-end mall or department store.

Garrett will look at Ane"That stuff slows your thoughts which then slows your reactions and reflex." He doesn't even really like being in here because he can tell breathing in the smoke in the air makes him feel different.
Mar 22, 2025 10:27 pm
"I'm sure you are overreacting." Ane says. She does not like hearing Dalana being criticised and possibly blamed, "Sometimes my thoughts need to slowed a bit, so everyone else can keep up."

There is more than a little reflexive defensiveness in Ane words, possibly making them meaner than she intended. Deep down inside Ane agrees with Garrett, and wishes they all could find another place to do these meetings. When she is here she just can't help but partake, then she feels bad afterwards. But it is the place everyone chose, and she does not think the rest would want to change venues just for her.

But still, she thinks. This stuff isn't strong enough to get someone like Dalana in trouble. But, even to herself, she is not all that convinced of that conviction.

"A 'jewel khanduq'?" Ane says to Asha, changing the subject. She knows her friend is keen on jewels, but thoughts of specialist magic stores are now filling Ane's mind.

OOC:
Have we finished the conversation?
Mar 24, 2025 5:17 pm
OOC:
If so, please describe what each of you does the next day to pick up Dalana's trail. You can act together if you'd like, or separately.
Mar 24, 2025 10:23 pm
Garrett looking at the other two"We can go ask some of my contacts and maybe get a lead on Dalana or I could go if y'all have other ideas." From his time with the ghosts Garrett has some good contacts who run shops that buy found items and hear a lot of good info.
