Having heard the Thyatian priest’s request, Boudica glances at Will and Miyana and whispers, "What do you think?"

I say we do it. So far, our instinctive decisions have been correct. I’d like to know what the letter says.

"It’s... it’s about Lord Kelvin. He dispatched a contingent of the Crystal Order to 'protect' the Church in Threshold last night" the inflection in his voice lead you to believe he doesn't believe Kelvin's motives "The Patriarch must know. This... these zealots. They’re fanatics. Their presence won’t help the faithful. It wont help anyone at all..." you catch real terror in young priest's face. It's not only that he feels guilty over going behind Lord Kelvin's back, but also that he fears what might happen to him if he is found out "Please. Deliver the letter to Patriarch Jowett, and to him only. He can compensate you for your trouble, if money is what you desire"

Boudica perks up and replies, "I was worried about the possibility that those zealots might descend upon Threshold! We left business unfinished there, so I think it’s time we set it right. Yes, we’ll help. And we can provide first hand reports of what’s actually going on in Threshold as well."

Encouraged Barns says to the priest, "We can deliver your message." as he gazes upon the others present.Turning his attention to Boudica, "Could you fill me in on this unfinished business as it seem that it may impede our delivery efforts."

"As spoken. I shall be taking this priest upon his need. Others on the table have spoken as well in favor. Are you not? Have you changed your mind? Or are you attempting to alter the list of those wishing to take up the priest's offer. Do explain yourself?"

"I know you not, stranger, and I do not recall having invited you to this table." The warrior scowls, raising her voice slightly.
OOC:
I have no issue with Barns joining the group, but Miyana has not yet been introduced.Jul 6, 2025 9:25 pm
Seeing that Miyana seems to have missed the invite and probably his into, "Sorry there, I'm Barns and now just a fellow delivery person. And what would you rather like to be mentioned as?"

Bernard, now that you’ve been duly assailed by our social prowess, is there anything else you should tell us, in order that we may fulfill your request?

Boudica rolls her eyes and says, "Barns, was it? Well met—I am Boudica, priestess of the Old Faith. This is Will, and the cranky one is Miyana. We can say that there is already an effort to whip up a religious fervor in Threshold. Someone was killed under strange circumstances, and a young Thyatian priest was being blamed, but the details didn’t add up. Anyway, yes, I’d like to return and settle things."

Ah, we're not mentioning our divine delusions. Very well. Miyana extends her hand to Barns in a gesture of apology.

Seeing the mess appears to settle and Barns takes Miyana's hand in a gentle acceptance."We need more Spirytus!"

Boudica accepts the scroll from Bernard, nods in acknowledgement, and watches him leave. She examines the scroll--is it sealed?
Jul 7, 2025 5:49 am
Boudica sighs and tucks away the scroll. She turns to her companions and says, "It is late. I know this is an urgent request, but I think we would do better to sleep here tonight and leave at dawn tomorrow, yes?"
