In Character: Feeling embarrassed by her lack of charisma in the matter because she has nothing to say that will make their excuses any better - Lady Godiva humbly retreats from the Elders after Dante's whisper.
Out of Character: As I see it we have 3 options:
1. Go back to East city.
2. Hope for talk in the tavern
3. Try to find that guy we were supposed to meet with at the river.
Specific Action: Lady Godiva returns to the tavern to discuss further plans.
In Character: Cagliostro leaves the elders with a saddened expression. "That wonderful wagon, wasted!", he mumbles in depression. He kicks a small rock while dreaming of how he could have fitted that carriage with the most desirable comforts: a small, elegant table with a throne-like brocade chair for himself and a couple of comfortable seats for his guests, the shining crystal ball in the middle of the table and his tarots on one corner. "Miniate tarots", he decided. And the outside! A sky blue with golden stars and moons and whatever magical figures he desired. He looks at the sky, trying to push back the tears that are coming to his eyes.
Suddenly, he starts smiling. He slips between Dante and Lady Godiva and puts a hand on the warrior's shoulder. He is about to do the same with Lady Godiva but he holds his hand a few inches from her, like having a second thought. "No need to despair, my friends", he says in a jolly tone, "We only have to think. The cleric is clever so we must outsmart him. I will lead you to victory!". The wannabe magician inflates his chest, like if trying to look more lordly. "They said the cleric had another wagon", he reflects. "Should I step on the soul of the devil itself, that wagon will be mine!".
Filled with a new purpose, he heads for the tavern.
Specific Action: Head back to the tavern and get ready to plan the future actions with the party.
Out of Character: I'm still for going to East City. The secret for defeating the cleric is in that basement: we can burn it to its foundations if necessary but we have to find what is hidden there. As an accessory, we can check out on that Tomasson (or whatever, I forgot the name of Horde's friend).
The first halt should be by the river. Maybe we can go while we wait for Aose.
In Character: John relaxes a bit and he waits for the others to come back to the Tavern.
Specific Action: Relax a bit until the the others come back to the Tavern.
In Character: Lady Godiva wonders how the elders got that information about the cleric joining giants... What giants she thinks in her head until she hears the voice of the ever dreaming wizard in the group. She says nothing to him but does give him an annoyed look.
"Why don't you just save and buy a wagon rather than try to get one everyone thinks is cursed!"
Out of Character: Bruconero you're something else.
In Character: Hearing Lady Godiva's question, Cagliostro stops abruptly and starts to stare at her in confusion. Suddenly, he starts to smile: "Aaaaaah! You couldn't feel it, could you? The fluid, I mean. Souls screaming and arcane secrets permeating its own walls, like an itchy sensation on your skin. Power, babe. I'm talking about power".
Like if he just explained something obvious to a child, Cagliostro resumes walking with a dreaming expression on his face.
Out of Character: It's not me, is HIM.
In Character: Dante thought he was crazy sometimes but looking at Cagliostro he realizes that there is no comparison. He then imagines a person like Cagliostro actually becoming a wizard. Could someone with that sort of power be safe to be around? He trembles a bit just thinking about it.
Out of Character: OK so we are awaiting?
Out of Character: Actually, I wanted to post an update but I found myself stuck. The problem is not that we have no actions, easy to overcome that, but I was unsure about what should I post. Posting something just to gain time would be useless since I would have to do it again in two days and so on until Aose is fully recovered (one month which means 15 posts to get more time: JB will skin me alive!). But if I just say we wait for Aose, what will we do next? We should use this time to prepare a plan but that's not happening. Somebody just doesn't post, somebody else reminds us that he is active but doesn't take part in the conversation. I tried to post a reminder lately but it was like trying to teach to a fish how to spell Russian language correctly. What do you think, Play? I gain 2 more days and then me, you and Fair come out with a plan?
