Welcome to the City of Rome

[CyMage]

"So, I take it that you're in?  What about the others?"  Smiling cheerfully he added.  "And can you be ready by sunrise tommorow?"

[Trunkyboy]

"I dont know," Luciano seems indecisive.  "If Cedric also agrees I guess.  I can't fight in the arena by myself, doesn't draw crowds or something."

[CyMage]

"Ok, I understand that you want to wait for the others to agree too.  Hmm.  You still haven't said where they are."  Azen stuck his tounge at Luciano then turned to Bran.  "How about you?"

[Trunkyboy]

"I already said Cedric went to visit the priest in the temple."

Luciano sounds a tad exasperated.  Just a tad mind you.

"And, well, I have known the people in this group for far longer then I've known anyone else.  I would like to, to continue staying around this group."  Luciano grumbles past this incredibly deep and emotional statement, at least for him. He then concentrates on polishing the spikes on his chain as if it were the most interesting thing in the world.

[CyMage]

"Ok, so you said where Cedric is.  And I guess that 'the priest' is Salvius.  That still leaves one more.  Altania."  The halflings face twisted in a half smirk.  "She was pretty good in a fight."

[Sunhawk]

Bran nods and breaks into a (rare) smile.

"Sure."

Istanbul sounds like an interesting place - and perhaps this trip is a chance to win glory in the eyes of his forefathers and gods!

[Trunkyboy]

"She...left.  She said she had some thinking to do, so she just disappeared."

[CyMage]

Azen nodded.  "That explains it then.  I guess we'll have to have a smaller group then.  Oh, well.  I'm sure I can work with that."

[Dracos]

CEDRIC, you see the inn.

Dracos

[Corwin]

Cedric goes inside the inn.

[Dracos]

Cedric, you are in the inn, you see several barmaids, but none of your comrades in the main hall.  They might be upstairs.

Dracos

[Corwin]

Cedric checks upstairs for Luciano or Bran.

[Trunkyboy]

Luciano opens the door when Cedric comes a'knocking, hand on his chain.  "Oh, its you.  Look who's back!"

[Corwin]

"Greetings," Cedric says to Luciano. "It seems that our team for the arena has been further diminished. Salvius is being sent to the front by his temple."

[Trunkyboy]

Luciano mumbles something insulting about temples and Romans in general before ushering Cedric into the room.
