Into Eyssa's Ears

[City of Kaezar, Tempest Road at Avanil Way, Crossroads]
Sitting in the shadow of the clock tower to the east, a large building occupies the entire south side of the block. Extremely rutted from the carts and wagons that traffic to the northern, eastern, western and southern sections of Kaezar City, the road is a quagmire of mud and deep puddles.
Obvious exits are east, south, north, and west.

You ask, "Anything you want me to take up there?"
Kot grins at Xelian.
Xelian says, "Feh."
Kot asks, "You got a few sovereigns, right?"
Xelian says, "Four."
Kot winces.
Kot asks, "From who?"
You say, "Feh is right."
Xelian clears her throat.
Xelian leaves Kot's group.
Xelian walks over to Kot.
Kot opens his mouth as if to say something.
Xelian grabs Kot by the arm, motioning for him to follow.
You act: Jurion hooks his fingers behind his belt-buckle.
Xelian walks over to you.
Kot advances into melee with Xelian and you.
Xelian grabs you by the arm, motioning for you to follow.
Xelian says, "Just follow me."
Kot nods.
Kot says, "Sure.. sure.."
Xelian says, "You can both form a wall while I hitch my stockings."
Xelian walks north.
Kot walks north.

[City of Kaezar, Town Green]
Weeded and raked, a long swath of exposed brown soil breaks the monotony of the green grass. A short wooden stake has been driven into the ground at either end of the patch of dirt, and beside it sits a crudely fabricated old stool and a weathered wooden bench. Also here is Kot and Xelian.
Obvious exits are east, north, and northeast.

Kot says, "Honey.. i do not want Jurion anywhere near when you do."
Kot says, "Of all the people."
Kot grins.
You whistle idly.
You look up at the sky.
A sea of stars fills the heavens with light.
Xelian grins at Kot.
Xelian puts her foot up on a wooden bench.
Kot walks over to you.
Kot pokes you.
Xelian groans.
Kot coughs.
Kot says, "Sorry."
Kot grins.
Xelian whispers ''I did not collect anything today' to the group.
You act: Jurion turns his back to Xelian.
You say, "There, are you happy? Adjust away."
Kot grins.
Kot opens his mouth as if to say something.
You whisper, 'Well, so far I've gotten nine imperials total...' to your group.
Kot whispers 'Deloria's going to catch you, though, Xel...' to the group.
You admire Xelian's ankle-high leather boots.
Kot whispers 'and, I think things will pick up once we have the "royal order"' to the group.
Xelian says, "Aye, I will work on her tomorrow."
You whisper, 'Illuriel and Dracan promised, as well, although promises aren't exactly hard cash.' to your group.
Xelian touches her leg.
Kot whispers 'for now we just have to "raise the awareness of the public to the presence of the issue of construction of a house of worship and prayer for a diety known among us as Eyssa"' to the group.
Xelian says, "Oh, I would like a handsome donation from that group."
Kot whispers 'but a promise is better than nothing at all' to the group.
Xelian nods to Kot appreciatively.
Xelian says, "Well said, sweet."
Kot whispers 'did you like all'em long words, eh?' to the group.
Kot grins.
Xelian nods.
Xelian says, "Very nice."
You whisper, 'If people start getting too concerned about whether Rillon's legitimate, we may have to come up with the order sooner.' to your group.
You act: Jurion smiles appreciatively at Xelian's knee.
Kot whispers 'Sure' to the group.
Kot nods to you.
Kot coughs in your direction.
You act: Jurion averts his eyes.
You chuckle.
Xelian whispers ''I had hoped for someone, not closely associated with us, who would report about seeing Rillon' to the group.
Xelian asks, "We have no such person?"
You say, "I don't think we do, no."
Kot whispers 'Myshral?' to the group.
Kot whispers 'perhaps in a week or two' to the group.
Xelian nods.
You whisper, 'Who else is in on this, who hasn't begun collecting yet?' to your
You whisper, 'Because I hate to add another person we'll have to pay off.' to your group.
Kot says, "So.. hopefully.."
Xelian runs her hands along her calf.
Kot whispers 'Sinjin, Shala, Myshral, Raeh, Cedaven' to the group.
You whisper, 'Myshral, then, or Cedaven?' to your group.
Kot whispers 'I thought Myshral would replace Cedaven... but Cedaven came back all of a sudden' to the group.
Xelian whispers ''moreso that the writ, at this stage, is another sighting of the Baron. I believe that is crucial' to the group.
Kot whispers 'Yep, one of them' to the group.
You whisper, 'I told Cedaven publicly about the Baron today, so now he has the opening to spot him on his own, or just to go to the next meeting.' to your group.
Xelian whispers ''the bard has a good reputation, and is known around the city. It would be good if it were him.' to the group.
You admire Xelian.
You nod to Xelian.
Xelian ponders the situation.
Kot whispers 'I was hoping that Cedaven, Myshral, Sinjin, and Shala, would all be at the next meeting' to the group.
Kot whispers 'or.. do you want to make an additional meeting between now and then?' to the group.
Kot whispers 'where it's just Mysrhal or Cedaven who encounter the baron?' to the group.
Xelian nods to Kot.
Xelian says, "Aye."
You whisper, 'I think it would be well to have an independent sighting, yes, and then the second large meeting.' to your group.
Xelian nods to you.
Kot whispers 'good idea... let's go to Stumbling Dwarf's to talk more about it?' to the group.
Xelian whispers ''Sinjinn will arouse suspicion. It should be Myshral and, or Cedaven.' to the group.
Kot nods to Xelian.
Kot says, "I agree."
Xelian whispers ''what, ye don't like whisperin' and lookin' at my leg?' to the group.
You chuckle.
Kot glances at you.
Kot mutters.
Kot says, "We're in a middle of town."
Kot grins.
You wiggle your leg.
Kot coughs.
Xelian grins.
You ask, "If she was admiring my leg, would it bother you so much?"
Xelian kisses Kot on the cheek.
Xelian says, "For I am Xelian Snackin, Wubwuvbane."
Xelian says, "Let's go to the Dwarf, then."
You chuckle.

[Stumbling Dwarf Cafe, Dining Area]
Covering this open air cafe is a faded green canvas awning, which has been connected to wooden poles, and offers a modicum of shade from the road. Tables are set out in an orderly fashion, and a handwritten sign has been tacked to the front of the building housing the kitchen. Sand and sawdust has been poured over the ground, making the ground rather stable and free of the muck that sometimes plagues the rest of the road. You see Fiamma. Also here is Xelian and Kot.

Kot grins at Fiamma.
Fiamma scowls at Kot.
Kot nods.
Kot chuckles quietly.
You chuckle.
Kot says, "Friendly as ever."
You seat yourself down at a table.
Kot seats himself at a table.
Kot grins.
Kot says, "So... Cedaven.."
Kot says, "If we can find him and catch him."
Xelian raises an eyebrow in Fiamma's direction.
Xelian smiles coolly at Fiamma.
Kot asks, "He could run into the baron.. and what'd happen then?"
Xelian says, "He goes around telling how he met the baron."
You say, "Hear his message and be convinced of his sincerity."
Kot grins.
Xelian nods.
Kot nods.
Kot scratches his chin.
Kot asks, "May be Shala should figure out what exactly'd happen at that encounter, eh?"
Kot grins.
Xelian says, "Cedaven seems pretty canny to me."
Xelian crosses her legs.
You say, "I think, as long as he had the information, he might be able to come up with something."
Xelian glances around.
Xelian nods.
You say, "Also, he might appreciate being able to put his storytelling talents to use, rather than work from a script."
You rub your cheeks.
Xelian says, "I agree."
Xelian leans forward while standing on the sand and sawdust.
Kot scratches his chin.
Xelian seats herself down at a table.
You ask, "Why are people so suspicious?"
You tsk.
Kot grins at you.
Kot shakes his head.
Xelian asks, "Is that what yer finding?"
Kot asks, "So untrusting, eh?"
Kot chuckles quietly.
You say, "Hm. No, not all the time."
You say, "So far, there are three sorts:"
You say, "Four, actually."
Kot grins at you.
Kot says, "Let me do immitation of the fourth sort."
Kot stares off into the distance.
Kot drools.
Xelian grins at Kot.
You say, "Those who donate right away, those who promise to, those who sort of pretend you're not there, and those who say, 'Do you think he's on the up and up?'"
Kot starts moving again.
Kot grins.
You say, "That's why I'm offering to do portraits."
Kot asks, "How was my impression?"
Kot nods to you.
You grin at Kot.
Xelian says, "Those who sort of pretend you are not there, simply don't care about anything that happens around them."
You say, "Those who might not donate for the temple alone may be willing to put some coin down for something in return."
Xelian wipes the drool from Kot's chin.
Xelian says, "Quite on the mark, sweet."
Kot coughs.
Xelian nods to Kot.
Kot grins.
Kot says, "Well... i'll track Cedaven down then."
Kot grins.
Xelian asks, "What sort of something?"
Xelian peers at you.
Kot says, "You know."
You say, "A portrait, or maybe another Festival like the one the Saldrin Foundation put on."
Kot says, "In the royal writ."
Kot grins.
You say, "Also, a name on a plaque on the temple, maybe."
Kot says, "It should be put down."
Xelian nods to you.
Kot points at you.
Kot mumbles some obscenities.
Kot says, "Quit stealing words out of my mouth!.."
Kot splutters.
Xelian chuckles.
You clamp your lips together.
Kot says, "That's what I was gonna say we should put down in the writ!.."
Kot chuckles.
Kot grins at you.
You say, "If we can't appeal to their sense of right, we'll appeal to their egos."
Kot says, "That only means that this is a good idea."
Kot nods to you.
Kot says, "Exactly."
You say, "Also, I wanted to ask..."
Xelian says, "Here is something I do not understand yet."
Xelian glances at you.
Kot says, "Yeah?.."
Xelian says, "You first."
Xelian grins at you.
You ask, "Should we make it out like we're also gathering whatever we can find to raise money?"
You say, "Because I remember when people were working for the hospital, a good portion of the coin came from scavenging and the work of the empaths involved, not necessarily from donations."
Kot nods.
Xelian says, "Hm."
You say, "It's like the ruse you do when you're begging... sweeten the cup with some coins."
Kot says, "I guess it'd help if we did that."
Xelian nods slowly.
Kot says, "Although.. we started the whole bit to avoid actually working for a living."
Kot grins.
Kot chuckles quietly.
You say, "I'm not saying we're going to scavenge..."
Kot says, "But.. i guess... if you wanna get out of work.. you gotta work for it."
Kot nods.
You say, "Just that we'll pretend to scavenge."
Kot says, "Sure."
You grin.
Kot nods to you.
Xelian says, "Not to the extreme, though. I don't think anyone would believe
Kot and I would give all our coin to the cause."
You nod to Xelian.
Kot says, "They believe me that i gave all my money to you."
Kot grins.
Xelian chuckles.
You say, "If donations stay low, we might have to inflate the total a bit and get the writ earlier."
Xelian says, "Well, certainly."
Kot nods.
Kot chuckles quietly.
Xelian leans on Kot.
Kot says, "Some really think that."
Kot grins.
Kot shrugs.
Kot coughs.
You say, "Poor Kot."
Kot pats Xelian on the back.
Xelian says, "Tell me abo."
Kot says, "Abo?.."
Xelian plants her fists on her hips.
You say, "It's an affectionate term for Kot."
You grin at Kot.
You say, "I'll be calling you Abo now."
Xelian asks, "Who thinks I'm a shrew?"
Xelian babbles something unintelligible.
Kot glances at you.
Kot mutters.
Kot says, "Deloria for once."
Kot grins at Xelian.
Xelian laughs.
Kot says, "That's why I Really want you to take her up for a Lot of money."
Kot grins at Xelian.
Xelian rolls her eyes.
Xelian grins.
You ask, "Could we say we simply have to show him the money for him to give us a writ?"
Kot asks, "What do you mean?"
Xelian says, "Tell me more about what we plan to put in the writ...I do not understand that part yet."
You ask, "Well, is he taking the money to the King?"
You ask, "Or is he using his charm to ask the King for a writ once he's seen that we can raise money?"
You say, "It's an important difference."
You say, "One way, it could sound like we're giving him two hundred fifty imperials for a piece of paper."
Kot nods to you.
Kot says, "That's what we're doing, pretty much."
You say, "I wish we could just show him the coin, and not give it to him."
You ask, "After all, doesn't he trust us? How do we know his writ is any good?"
Kot says, "Baron gets a paper from a king... in the paper it says that baron received 250 imperials from us toward the construction of the temple... the king orders us to continue gathering money as this town needs Eyssa's blessing... and king, out of his own treasury, will place a golden plague on the temple with names of those who donated the money."
Kot says, "Well.. we do know the writ's no good."
You grin at Kot.
Kot says, "But that'd be a good cut-off point for us."
Xelian asks, "Ah, so there is no set amount specified in the writ?"
You say, "Actually, if it says in the writ that we have already given up two hundred fifty imperials, we may be all right."
You say, "It's a sort of royal reciept."
Kot says, "We can put 750 imperials into the writ."
Kot nods to you.
Kot says, "Yep."
Kot grins.
Xelian says, "That is good."
Kot says, "The reason i want to give away the money is..."
Xelian nods slowly.
Kot says, "Let's say.. two weeks after we got the writ we're cought."
Kot says, "Guards ranshack our accounts and take away the money."
You say, "Good point."
Kot says, "But if we give the money to the baron."
Kot says, "Not much we can do about it."
Kot says, "We'll lose whatever we gathered since."
Kot says, "But that's it."
Kot grins.
You ask, "We should set a definite date to have the writ by. How fast could we raise two hundred fifty imperials, if we made, say, six imperials a day?"
Kot says, "Our treasurer will have the rest in a safe place."
Kot asks, "Forever?"
Kot grins.
Kot says, "2 months or so."
You say, "Because I think people will donate faster if they actually see the paper."
Kot nods to you.
Kot says, "They will."
Xelian says, "And as far as I see, nothing can be proven against us unless someone squeals."
Kot says, "Yep."
Kot says, "And nobody's going to squeal."
Kot grins.
You say, "I suppose the positive side is that we've already each made an imperial."
Kot chuckles.
Kot nods.
Xelian grins.
Kot says, "And hopefully in a day or so we'll make 2 imperials each."
Kot grins.
Xelian exclaims, "Success!"
You chuckle.
Kot chuckles quietly.
You rub your hands together.
Kot grins widely.
Xelian says, "Since we made one imperial each, let's have an ale."
Xelian gets a few sovereigns from a fur-trimmed deep blue cotehardie.
You open an embroidered black leather pouch.
Kot grins.
You get a handful of sovereigns from an embroidered black leather pouch.
Kot says, "Made imperial each."
You hand Fiamma some money.
Fiamma smiles and cheerfuly draws an ale.
With a wink, she hands it over to you.
Xelian says, "I've got it."
Kot says, "And i saved three royals by making people buy me ales."
Kot chuckles quietly.
You ask, "Well, we've made what? Nine imperials?"
You close an embroidered black leather pouch.
Xelian says, "Nine, aye."
Xelian chuckles.
Kot says, "Wait.. i thought we made more than that."
Xelian rummages through her belongings.
Kot says, "You just made 6 imperials.."
You say, "And there aren't even nine of us."
Xelian asks, "How much ye have in Kem, Jurion?"
You say, "That's right."
Kot says, "Xeli made 4-5 imperials ... and you made 3 imperials yestarday."
Kot nods to you.
You say, "I have nine so far. Three in Kem and six on me."
Xelian gets a couple royals from an embroidered pale lavender leather pouch.
You say, "I wasn't counting what I got today, I forgot about it."
You slap your forehead. What were you thinking??
Xelian glances at her hands.
You put a tall pewter tankard on a wrought iron table.
Kot says, "Ah, ok."
You ask, "So we've actually got... thirteen? Almost fourteen?"
Xelian asks, "Sweet, the 122 royal ye gave me, were those donations?"
Xelian rummages through her belongings.
Xelian puts a few sovereigns in her fur-trimmed deep blue cotehardie.
Kot says, "No, that was my personal money i gave you in public to show how i gave everything away."
Kot grins.
Kot says, "I would like them back, if you don't mind, please."
Kot coughs.
Xelian grins.
Xelian nods.
You laugh quietly.
Kot grins at Xelian.
Xelian says, "Certainly, love."
Kot rubs Xelian gently.
Xelian whistles innocently.
Kot chuckles quietly.
Kot smooches Xelian.
Xelian smooches Kot.
Kot asks, "So.. altogether we made.. 13-14 imperials?"
Kot grins.
You say, "I guess we did."
Xelian says, "Come back here."
Xelian points at a handwritten sign.
Kot asks, "So.. that's close to two imperials a pop?"
Kot grins widely.
Xelian hands Fiamma some money.
Fiamma smiles and cheerfuly draws an ale.
With a wink, she hands it over to Xelian.
Fiamma gives Xelian her change.

Kot chuckles quietly.

You say, "I haven't heard."
Kot says, "I haven't seen her in a long time."

Xelian nods emphatically.
You chuckle.
Kot chuckles.
You say, "Sev might surprise you, too."
Xelian leans back while sitting on the wooden chair.
You swallow some Stumbling Dwarf ale.
A soft warmth fills your stomach.
Kot says, "From your mouth and into Eyssa's ears."
Kot snickers.
Kot asks, "Get it?"
Kot coughs.
Xelian grins at Kot.
Kot says, "Ermm."
Kot says, "Anyhow."
Kot grins.
Xelian gazes upwards to the heavens.
Xelian closes her eyes briefly.
Kot says, "Better not put it into Eyssa's ears."
Kot coughs.
Kot says, "Sorry."
Kot says, "Sorry."
Kot glances up.

Xelian asks, "What do ye here of this group of his?"
Kot says, "He can kick down many a dyaries in one hit."
Kot swallows some Stumbling Dwarf ale.
You say, "They tried to recruit Severin."
You act: Jurion lifts one shoulder in an idle shrug.
You say, "He might know more about them than I do."
Xelian nods slowly.
You say, "I know he's got a lot of non-taxable income, thanks to his deal with Rade."
You say, "Sev said he boasted of having fifty thousand sovs."
Xelian says, "I have only heard rumor. They never speak of the group in my presence."
Xelian nods to you.
Xelian says, "I can believe it."
You say, "Saebra may be more inclined to speak of it."
Kot grins.
Kot says, "Hard to believe.. Saebra and Teru."
Kot shakes his head.

Kot shrugs.
Kot says, "I dunno."
Kot says, "I think... and it's just my opinion."
Kot says, "They're mostly dedicated to blowing hot air up their butts."

You stifle a yawn.
Kot whispers something to his group.
You say, "That is far too much ale for the likes of me."
Xelian says, "If they do hold together, and continue their charade..."
Xelian says, "It occurs to me it would behoove them to make massive donations to a temple of Eyssa."
You say, "If you can convince them of it, you're an even more amazing woman than I thought."
Xelian grins at you.
Xelian says, "Will certainly be a challenge."
You say, "I think Teru will laugh in our faces, however, and rant about what a weakling goddess Eyssa is."
Kot grins.
Xelian shakes her head vigorously.
Kot scratches his chin.
You say, "Which, coming from someone so intimately acquainted with the ossuary as he is..."
Kot says, "One other thing that might be hinted at in the writ."
Kot says, "It could be said."
Xelian says, "He cannot do that, if he promotes the organization as being one that works to prevent another Cataclysm."
You say, "He's mad."
You grin at Xelian.
You say, "He's not known for his clarity of logic."
Kot says, "That so far we have enjoyed Eyssa's favor.. and have been granted freedom from death..."
Xelian says, "It was Eyssa who stopped it the last time."
Xelian nods to you.
Xelian says, "Mad, and not too swift, either."
Kot says, "But that soon... Eyssa may require our faith and devotion in exchange for that freedom."
You chuckle.
Kot says, "And that those who donate the money Might be free from death for eternity or something."
Kot asks, "What'cha think?"
You say, "Well, I leave him to you. Let's feel him out first."
Kot nods.
Xelian ponders the situation.
You say, "I don't want to make too many promises regarding what the goddess wants and doesn't want."
Kot grins.
Xelian says, "Aye."
You say, "Or will give or not give, as it may be."
Kot asks, "We could hint at that verbally?"
You stretch.
You stand up.
Xelian says, "I'd feel more comfortable if we do not mention her name, too, too much."
Kot nods to Xelian.
Kot says, "Okay."
Kot grins.
Kot says, "I won't argue."
You say, "Yes, she might be like that little bird who sits on everyone's shoulder."
Kot says, "I don't have a little bird on my shoulder."
You say, "Call her too often and she could perk up and wonder what's going on."
You say, "That's what you think."
You wink at Kot.
Xelian nods to you.
Kot glances around.
You say, "At any rate, I'd better get to Kem and deposit this before I fall asleep."
Kot says, "I don't."
Kot grins.
Kot nods to you.
