Edwin looks at the woman with a momentary blank stare. Well, my compatriots seem to have abandoned me along the way. If the only way this package is getting made is with this ore, it would seem that I would be well-served to recover the ore, now wouldn't it? Provided I can do that, what kind of time delay is there in producing the king's package? Additionally, has anyone sent word back to the king that his package was to be delayed because of this supply issue? he says, mind already running down the list of things that need to be done in short order.

Also, I hate to be a burden, but I'm new to town and my escort is no longer here. Where would you recommend as a place to bunk down for the night? Preferably someplace I may be able to find a few willing souls to help me in recovering the ore?

As far as a letter to the King, I am unsure as to whether or not a letter was sent. And as for where you can sleep, I would recommend the barracks. With you mark, you can get your own room.
Feb 20, 2018 2:13 pm
Fair enough. I'll send a rider back to the king. Where is this ore supposed to come from and how long will it be before Kashin can produce the king's order?
Feb 20, 2018 3:46 pm
Well, the ore is in the mine, at the bottom of the city. Once the ore is recovered, it should only be about 4 hours until he can complete the order.
Feb 20, 2018 3:57 pm
Is there a danger to going to get it or could a single person reasonably recover it?
OOC:
What time is it roughly?

Late afternoon.
Honestly, I don't know. There have been an increased number of accidents lately, but everyone claims it is merely typical mine accidents. I don't buy it though. Others claim a curse is to blame, although if you ask about that, no one will talk since you're a human.

I'll check in at the barracks then, see if there are any other soldiers that would agree to travel down there then. What direction is the barracks from here, if you please? he says simply. Provided that she can give him the info, he'll thank her and head that direction.

You make your way to the barracks, down the spiral mountain. All around you are humans and dwarves peddling wares and looking at you suspiciously. The barracks are built directly into the mountain. You enter and immediately see Eran with two unfamiliar looking men.
OOC:
Lux and Guille, go ahead and enter. You've just been recruited by Eran to join the party. You're already members of the Imperial Army/
Feb 20, 2018 4:54 pm
Well met Eran. There's a minor snag that needs to be addressed before we can finish our task here. Edwin says as he walks up to Eran with the two soldiers.
Feb 20, 2018 5:07 pm
Something you can handle, I am sure? Eran asks.
Feb 20, 2018 5:52 pm
Most definitely. It would be good to have some extra hands if at all possible. Just from a size of the recovery that needs to be done. Edwin says, looking at the other two, unsure if they are to be part of his retinue at this stage or not.

OOC:
Guille is a dark-skinned, spanish-influenced man. He speaks in a typical Castillan spanish accent. He is about 5'9", 175 lbs.


Bueno! How nice to meet you. I am Guillermo Huelguista, but you can call me GEE-Yeh or GEEL. Eran has sent me to assist you along on your travels for our monarch.
Feb 20, 2018 8:37 pm
Well met Geeyeh! The assistance is much appreciated. Later we should discuss some about our relative skill sets so we can approach things intelligently. For the time, however, we need to make our way to the mines near the south of the city. I can fill you in on the way. The name's Edwin Straekman, though you can call me Edwin or Eddie as you'd like. Edwin says, extending his hand.
Feb 20, 2018 9:34 pm
Sounds great! I do have a friend here...somewhere... Guille starts looking around for Lux.

OOC:
We're going to retcon a bit since no major storyline stuff has occurred. Lux is no longer, instead, Orrin is the other character here. So, feel free to jump in, Sclasclemski.

OOC:
awesome thanks...I’ll chime in once I read back a little bit to get My bearings

OOC:
Orrin is average height and slender athletic build. Shaved head of a monk. Very reserved
Approaching Orrin greets them, Hello new friends, I look forward to successfully completing the task at hand. I am ready to proceed as soon as you wish. Orrin nods his head respectfully to all present.
Feb 27, 2018 4:43 pm
Eran looks at the three of you. You three take care of that, I have other business to attend to. He then leaves.
Feb 28, 2018 3:25 am
Edwin watches a bit aloofly as Eran leaves before turning back to the other two.

Well, I guess here's the details. I was sent down here with a handful of other soldiers to pick up a package for the King from Kashin's shop. It would appear that the doddering old fool hasn't realized he wasn't even given the materials to produce the King's package. Per his assistant, it should only be a few hours of work once he gets the ore. Apparently, we should be able to get the ore for Kashin from the mines to the south side of the city. If we move quickly, we should be able to make it back before shops all close. Edwin says, simply and straightforward.

You two good to go?
Feb 28, 2018 3:30 am
Yes sir. I say solemnly.
OOC:
Are there ranks that we should Be acknowledging?
