Welcome to the City of Rome

[Dracos]

Bran finds his gold missing too.

[Trunkyboy]

Vowing to keep a closer eye on his gold from now on, Luciano waits around while his companions finish their business.  Looks like walking was going to be the mode of transportation.

[Sunhawk]

Bran snarls and, noticing the absence of the loiterer outside, runs out to find the about-to-be-hamburgered asshole who dared to rob him.

[Dracos]

Bran runs outside and sees....well, nobody.  If he runs further he finds... a busy town street with lots of people in it.  It's about this time he realizes he never got a good glimpse of the guy and doesn't spot anyone obviously acting suspicious nearby in the crowd.

Luciano decides to go on and return to the inn to gather his meager belongings and wait for Azen and the others.  He is somewhat frustrated for not noticing the picking of his pouch.  This was the second time!  Any further thieves would receive no mercy from him.

[Sunhawk]

Bran snarls and stalks back to the inn, vowing to keep a close eye on things around him.

[Dracos]

You guys arrive at the inn.  It's almost lunch time by the time you get back.  You then realize that Azen asked you to meet him at north gate, not at the inn.  And he did so many hours ago now.

[Trunkyboy]

After grabbing and securing his stuff, Luciano makes his way to the north gate, keeping an eye out for thieves.

[Dracos]

And without further ado, they make it to the north gate, seeing a quite impatient looking Azen waiting for them.

[Trunkyboy]

"Sorry, we had some, trouble, in aquirring horses,"  Luciano says with some surliness.

[Sunhawk]

Bran just mutters angrily and adjusts his sword strap

[Trunkyboy]

Luciano shuffles his feet idily and thinks grim thoughts.

[Sunhawk]

"Well, let's go!"

Bran is in the mood for some blood and gore.

[Trunkyboy]

Shuffling seems to be the order of the day as Luciano continues in his activity.

[CyMage]

Azen looked the trio up and down and noted their expressions.  "Well, I can see that.  What happened?  Julius didn't have any?  Strange as he is the biggest dealer of horse flesh in this part of the city."

Looking a bit tired, he got on his pony and turned towards the city.  "I guess we can visit one of the others quickly."  Then he mumbled under his breath. "Good thing this thing doesn't have a deadline."
