A guest of the efreet

[Anastasia]

Okay Moore, while the others go off you basically have free time. What's your plan here?

Seira, Barachiel and Honeydip are unavailable, everyone else is for the moment.

[Nephrite]

Moore will go find Nasir. Anyone who wants to accompany him for that is welcome to do so. I imagine Cresiel and Jetina probably will want to.

[Anastasia]

Cresiel falls in step with you, as you see Jetina getting into a conversation with the other healer there.

"I will go with you," he says, a statement rather than a request.

[Nephrite]

"Of course." Moore says.

It shouldn't be too much of a difficult matter to find Nasir, but he'll ask around if he needs to!

[Anastasia]

Diplo. This is mostly a trivial roll, but give me one just in case.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 100.

[Anastasia]

The servant is an efreet, one dressed impeccably. He bows deeply to you, "Duke Moore," he announces in a rich voice, standing outside in one of the man vast, beautifully decorated halls in this palace. "Commander Madani is on the grounds. I believe he intends to ride one of the Sultan's Reserve nightmares."

[Nephrite]

"Is Commander Madani a fan of riding?" Moore asks.

[Anastasia]

"I cannot rightly say, Duke, but he has often ridden when a guest of the Sultan here." The servant says. "Shall I inquire with the Royal Stable Master?"

[Nephrite]

"Yes, if you can arrange a ride for myself, I would appreciate it." Moore says. He looks over at Cresiel. "Would you care to join?"

[Anastasia]

Cresiel shakes his head mutely, "A mount that is not a nightmare. No nightmare would bear you willingly. I will follow on wing."

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles. "It sounds like you don't have a lot of faith in my ability to handle animals."

[Anastasia]

"A nightmare is not an animal, the are as intelligent as a man and vile as a fiend," Cresiel declares, "Do not be deceived. They may serve as mounts willingly, but they are not mere horses."

[Nephrite]

"So little faith." Moore says, with some dejection. He turns back to the servant. "Could you escort us to the stables, please? I'd like to take a look for myself."

[Anastasia]

"I apologize," Cresiel murmurs, "I did not mean to impinge your skills." He bows his head to you as the servant begins to lead you along.
