Welcome to the City of Rome

[Corwin]

Cedric shrugs at the insult, but takes the invitation and enters the room.

[Trunkyboy]

"Azen here has a proposition for us.  Bran already has agreed, I am still undecided."

[CyMage]

A cheerful smile was directed at Cedric.  "Hiya.  How's life treating you?"

Letting the man reply, he continued.  "I want to hire you guys to act as bodyguards.  I am being sent by my master to Istanbul to deliver a letter.  You each will be paid 250 gold per week.  You also will get part of any spoils that we might come across.  Interested?"

[Corwin]

"Life's been treating me well," Cedric replies, returning the smile politely. "Are you being sent this week?"

[CyMage]

Azen nodded.  "Yes.  The schedule was to start out tommorow morning, but I can wait another day if needed."

[Corwin]

"That won't be necessary," Cedric says, shaking his head.

[Trunkyboy]

"Well, it looks like I am in as well then."

[CyMage]

"Good.  I'll be here an hour after dawn."  Standing up he gave a small bow to the others.  "Now if you will excuse me, I have a couple errands to run before we leave."

Azen went to the door.  "It'll be interesting working with you again."

[Sunhawk]

Bran nods, then goes back to his room to sleep.

[Dracos]

Assuming none of you ungodly slow people have anything else to do, the sun sets and rises again on a new morning...

Dracos

[Trunkyboy]

Luciano once again wakes up, and packs his meager belongings.  He heads downstairs for a quick breakfast and then a trip to the bathhouse.

[Corwin]

Cedric packs, and then heads downstairs to wait for Azen.

[Dracos]

Luciano returns bathed to the inn.

[CyMage]

Azen steps through the inn door exactly one hour after dawn.  "Morning, good fellows.  Ready for the ride?"  He's dressed same way as yesterday, though his movements are a bit more relaxed.

[Corwin]

Cedric nods. "All set on my end."
