He listens to Slythe and nods his head.

"I wouldn't expect you to put yourself too much at risk but I'll disagree with you a little. Some things are worth dying for. The fighting to hold off the Kitin so families and children could escape... that was worth dying for."

He listens to the others and then continues...

"There'll be no advance payment, the value of the mektoubs and the cart can be considered a downpayment if you like, the combined value of those isn't too far off what you're being paid anyway. If things get... problematic, you can always turn yourselves a nice sum by selling those off, can't you? Speaking of which..."

He reaches into the folds of his clothing and takes out a carved-bark marker.

"Give the stableboy this, he's looking after the mektoubs and the cart for me. Show him this, he'll give them to you. I'll be here awaiting your return in a couple of days."

Slythe: Takes the bark marker from Dylan. Looks at the others to see if they're ready. If so, we take our leave and head to the stables.

I get a last coktail.
I drink it fast and follows Slythe.

*eyeballed my fellow travelers*

*also follows them*

Outside it it is well into the evening now, the planet's light coming down in deep purple, the firefly lights burning, the distant howl of Varinx on the prowl and the rumbling snore of Arana all intermingled with the churning of the waterfall and the flow of the river.

The stablehand takes the chit and leads you around to the back of the stables where the cart is waiting. It is a sturdy looking thing made of strong, fire hardened Fyrosian wood but with a leaf suspension straight out of Tryker. A strange mix of materials and technologies these days, though perhaps not longer ago.

Two fine Mektoubs are attached to the wagon, each with saddlebags filled with feed, leaving you all the room in the cart. Without a word the stableboy hands you the reins and moves back into the shelter of his building.

*introduces myself to the other 3*

*ask if any of them knows how to drive a cart*

Slythe (to Fyrx): "Nope, but we can ride in the cart while you lead the Mek's on foot."

(In fact Slythe knows perfectly well how do it, even though he's a city lad like Fyrx. He learnt to drive a cart while helping his brothers move merchandise across the desert)

OOC: RPing tip

When you say 'introduces self to others' you're probably better off speaking in character to help express yourself and lend imagry to the scene.

EG: "I suppose we should get to know each other a little since we'll be working togther, my name is <blah>. I don't suppose any of you know how to drive a cart?"

And so on.

ooc: heh, I was too lazy, I thought you was gonna write my witty reply for me!

pooooo

(actually, I just wasnt sure how to go about it, since your instruction was to keep it short and general to give you more freedom to describe the scene etc. So basically we can flesh out our own dialogues, but not actions?)

edit to ask (ooc): are those mektoubs mountable?

"I'm Gojeta nice to meet you not much to twell about me, only that i'm a lonely person "

"I dont know how to use a cart but we sould learn to make our trip easier."
