Scene:
Undeterred by the herd of pigs, Saur thought on his feet. He made leap onto the backs of the pigs, pulling Thornharp along with him. The pair nimbly jumped from the back of one pig to the other, as Haibram had no choice but to slowly wade through the herd. On the other side, Haibram approaches Saur and Thornharp waving, "I told ye I'd get ye here quickly if ye could keep up!" The dwarf huffs as he pulls something from a pouch at this hip. "What an invigorating way to start the day! Thank ye for the race, and take this for beating me here." Haibram holds out two bottles of glittering red elixirs (minor elixers of life) to Saur.
"Now, I'm off to help with Sharrowsmith. G'day!" The dwarf fully clad in plate armor gives a relaxed salute before turning to make his way back across the canal to Sharrowsmith Exports just across the water way.
The pair now stand outside of Alandri's shack.
As for the goblin...
Ms. Pi Carnbah had difficulty suppressing a smile as Jenk gave his victory dance-turned-cackle. After checking the sky, the taxi driver began rowing more vigorously. The main canal was busy with other taxis ferrying people to and forth.
Ms. Pi's brows rose in surprise as Jenk pointed out her coin purse on the passenger's seat in front of her. "Yes! It must have come loose while we were stuck, thank you Jenk," the human stooped for a moment to recover the purse, fastening it to her belt. Back at the stern, she guided the canal boat around the corner and came to a gentle stop at the water's edge.
"Alandri's is there," she pointed to an eccentric shack at the water's edge. Looking up, she clucked her tongue, "Though I don't believe I got you here before the sun." Her face fell as she wiped her brow.
When Jenk eventually left the water taxi, he would encounter two companions gathered out front of Alandri's home, and join them.
Just around the corner...
Mr. Gerard Kittyborough paid Fleur's reading little mind, yet was faithful to his end of bringing Fleur to her destination, though he took the opportunity to relive the glory days for a moment... "So you see, I've had many hurdles block my path in my life, and I wouldn't have written beautiful ballads like 'I shall be present for you' which appealed to the friends and family of the Lords of the Grand Apple in the North." He looked up from his ruminations for a moment, "Ahh, here you are my dear," Mr. Gerard points to Alandri's house, just across a foot bridge, "now I really must be off to the Ibex park! What did you say your name was?" As Fleur responds or not, he waves, then quits her presence. Though Fleur was never much bothered with arriving on time, after Mr. Kittyborough's delay, that is certainly not the case.
Fleur is left alone to cross the last foot bridge herself, and spies Jenk in a water taxi just in front of Alandri's. She also notices that the main road to the shack is filled with a herd of pigs passing through to the North.
Not far away from Fleur on the same foot bridge across the canal, another elf approaches in the dawning light.
Tanraeth, though he's going by a nom de plume of late, pauses on the bridge next to Fleur for a moment, surveying the sights of Nantambu. He sees the same slew of events as Fleur, with particular attention to the herd of pigs passing through the main road ahead. The rays of the dawn are upon them all, and the city appears to be fully awake and in full swing. Ranchers are out ranching, hawkers hawk, and more fortunate bakers than Salvidore proffer flat breads to passersby. The warming sun begins to show on the pair of elves as the quiet of the morning dissipates around them.
Eventually, the herd of pigs disappeared as they went on their way. As the pair of Fleur and Tanraeth approach Alandri's house, they would see their cohort assembled there waiting at the door: a kobold, a leshy, and a goblin.
After a moment for everyone to catch their breath and catch up, they take a moment to survey the house before them.
Alandri’s wood and clay row house sits near the canal bridge, a sign hanging over the front door displaying her name. The unusual front door is a mosaic of glass scales with the abstract image of a royal-blue fish swimming in the sky.
End Scene
Storyteller's Aside
I have no rolls for everyone after this update, so let's have a breather as characters RP their arrival at Alandri's and meet each other yet again (or for the first time). Feel free to do some RP back and forth, and the next update will have Alandri explain what she has in store for you.
I have removed Alandri's greeting from the post because I want to take a beat here for a moment with the characters. How does your character feel in this situation? Please take a moment to engage with your character or other characters
