The old topic

[Carthrat]

Carthrat chuckles. "Heh. I know what you mean. I'll have to slap you around some day and see how good you really are."

[CyMage]

Cy nodded.  "Sure.  But first let's figure out what we're going to do next."

[Carthrat]

Carthrat struts out the door. "We head to that restraunt, and then we do some mercenary work to keep us alive while we figure out what happened and what we should do next."

Carthrat heads on to the Flowing pool or whatever it was called..

[Anastasia]

Soon enough, you find yourselves at the Flowing World tavernish restaurant.  A simple signpost advertises the place, promising "Excellent food at reasonable prices", along with a weathered painting of a leg of meat.  It is constructed in the same manner as all the buildings you have seen thus far, with blue quartzstone and minimal windows.

Inside, you find a large dining area littered with sturdy wooden tables.  The smell of various foods waft and swirl around you as an effiecent waiter directs you to a table. After a minimal amount of discussion, you get menus.  Oddly, the prices of the dishes are in Golden Rivers, except for the wine...That is in Silver Flows.

[Carthrat]

Carthrat looks at the menu for a good long minute.

"Oi, CM. I believe that we need to pay another visit to the blacksmith. Tonight."

[CyMage]

Cy replied calmly.  "Yes.  We need to.  Once we get there, I will show you a bit of what I know of swordplay.  You did say that you wanted a demonstration."

A small glint could be seen in his eyes.

[Carthrat]

"I was thinking the subtle approach. You know, the one which dosn't bring guard-like people to our door.

'sides, I want his forge. I'm sure I can work out something with him."

Carthrat speaks quietly..

[CyMage]

"Oh, fine.  Though it's funny hearing you say that.  Isn't it usualy me who suggests the subtle approach?  Now lets eat."

Cy looked over the menu himself trying to figure out if there was anything he knew there.

[Anastasia]

CyMage -

You reconize a few vegetables, but most of the meats, cheeses and such have unfamiliar names.

[CyMage]

Choosing something substantial but at a resonable price, Cy waited for his partner to decide.

[Carthrat]

"It is, isn't it? Then again, usually, I'm not stranded with no hope of resupplying. A forge would be most useful."

Carthrat orders something random.

[Anastasia]

The meal goes without incident.  The food is quite good, far better than the relative price would lead you to believe.  The final bill is 2 silver, which is paid in full.

When you exit, it is getting closer to dusk.

[CyMage]

Pondering for a moment, Sai asked.  "Do we visit the blacksmith again or check on our 'quaters' first?"

[Carthrat]

"Our quarters. We want somewhere to go home to if everything turns out like Berlin."

Carthrat shuddered as he started walking..

[Anastasia]

It is full dusk by the time you get back to your 'hideout'. A discreet check of it tells you it is still empty.
