<<< PREV | FIRST | NEXT >>>Stupid computer! Got it all fixed...I think. Anyways.
This took far too long to do. I don't think I'll do such a detailed map again for quite a while. Too much tiny little fiddly details I wanted to get JUST right, and I still don't think I quite did it justice...
Tellah nods in responce to Mekie's question about the mounted and stuffed dragon head. "I 'spect if'n yer lucky 'nuff ta kill th' beastie, th' guild'll letcha put th' head up. Prolly a good spot fer 'un is in th' lounge."
Upon examining the map, Na'Nfr finds it to be exceptional quality, finely drawn and painted in painstaking detail, showing quite a trip upriver, through desert, plains, over a river and through a forest, to a snow-capped mountain range with cascades and caves. The writing on the map appears to be ink and quill scribbles, marring an otherwise quite valuable map. He also notices that the dragon's lair is marked far to the north, probably somewhere a bit west to where Sir Albus claims to hail from. Convenient that they just happen to pick up a local on the first mission to that area...
Almost suspicously convenient!
Being of high birth and from the right general area, Albus recognizes the workmanship of the map as a rather expensive and skilled mapmaker. Quite likely, this was a valuable piece of royal property before it was defaced with the ink.
After Sir Albus pockets the "mission packet", Tellah volunteers a bit more information on guild connections with local merchants traveling north. It seems there's several fine riverboats headed that way that might trade accomodations in exchange for some protection if the party was willing to do so. It would make the trip more convenient, and all they would need to do is fend of any pirates or bandits that might threaten the vessel.
"Not much chance 'er tha' happenin' anymores. Used 'ta be when I were adventurin', bandits'd attack e'ery caravan an' vessel headin' nor' or sou' on th' rivah. Lately...eh. I guess'n we kilt off alla the stupid ones." He grins knowingly and blinks...or winks, again, standing up and with a bit of difficulty swings one leg up onto the desk. "I used ta be ah 'ventureh like yew all...until I took an arrah ta mah knee..." The cat slaps the lifted limb, then gaffaws as if he had told the funniest joke in the world for some reason.

Na'Nfr shakes his head at the cat and then says "So.. who was the lady you married?" in reply, even as his hand fingers idly along the hilt of his blade. He sets about making sure he has his rations properly supplied, as well as a fresh coat of oil is applied to his wooden kill-mask.
(Hun, I'm going to stab you for that- REALLY hate that meme, especially since I've a metal knee- also- yay for it being recently realized as a legit bit of celtic slang for proposing- the 'arrow' is from taking a knee in from of the lass in a battlefield)

((Woah, dat map is really purrty o:))
Albus regarded the map further, looking in closer and then further away, turning it to the side, looking for hidden details amongst the numerous, painstakingly drawn images. "Hmm, I cannot believe someone folded this master piece up and even drew on it" He frowned and shook his head as if someone slashed a sword though a painting or smashed a beautiful vase.
"Regardless, this plan of joining the merchants seems to be a good idea, I can offer my shield to repel any cowards that wish to attack helpless travelers" He snarled as if remembering an unpleasant memory before turning to his new companions "We will also be well rested to fight the dragon once we arrive, he glanced over to Whault "Or run from it" He grinned before laughing and listening to the sand cat's joke about arrows and knees, he blinked before moving closer and staring him in the eye "I will avenge your adventuring career but taking out every bandit I find, knee first" He bowed his head, apparently the joke had passed several feet over his head and sailed off into the sky, never to be seen again.

(( Aaaugh, not the arrow'd knees! But yeah, loving' how the map came out. It really looks like it was hand drawn. The fold lines look particularly great. Nice effect! ))
(( Also, Tellah's whole blinky/winky thing: ))
Whault takes a moment to ensure his provisions are adequately prepared and his equipment in proper order, not really having anything to add at the moment.
