VINDICAI Secretive drow
Vindicai laughed and took the offered chair. Arann wanted to see his expressions during this conversation, and he was quite agreeable. He was looking forward to seeing Aranns face as well.
He wasted no time asking for reassurances of secrecy. Arann was being told in confidence, and the do gooder would be automatically bound by that without giving his word. It...
VINDICAI Secretive drow
Vindicai took his time as he warily approached the Willow Tavern. There should be no reason for Olath Veldrin to have sent their searchers here, and everyone in the Tavern should be asleep by this time. Only Arann Thule should be wakeful and watchful at the back door of the Tavern, and of course the warforged Guilin who was the Taverns guard at all hours of the ...
ARANN THULE Drow owner of the Willow Tavern
Arann Thule closed the door behind his visitor, and gave a reassuring nod to Guilin who was waiting, alert as always, in the corner of the kitchen.
There is a room ready for you upstairs. Arann wasted no time on greeting Vindicai. Ive left some food and drink for you, so you can stay out of sight there until my trade meeting. I dont ...
VINDICAI Secretive drow
Vindicai nodded. I shall keep out of sight.
Arann turned to lead the way out of the kitchen, pausing and turning back as he realised Vindicai wasnt following him.
There is a slight complication. Vindicai grinned as he heard Arann groan. Well, two actually.
ARANN THULE Drow owner of the Willow Tavern
Arann groaned again, but he had expected this. There was always some complication when you dealt with Vindicai, and he had had some warning from the gossip in the bar last night. The mention of Olath Veldrin had been enough to attract his attention.
I heard something about Olath Veldrin searching for a missing drow girl? I suppose you are ...
VINDICAI Secretive drow
Slightly, Vindicai admitted. Ive got her outside.
He watched in amusement as Arann Thule closed his eyes and counted to ten before opening them again.
Vindicai made a snap decision, based on the fact that there was no resemblance between Darice and Maryar. No-one looking at them would guess them to be half sisters. He would introduce Maryar to Arann ...
ARANN THULE Drow owner of the Willow Tavern
Arann stared for a second in surprise, then crossed his arms and frowned. Olath Veldrin say that she belongs to them. Some runaway daughter of the house. Why is she with you, and why bring her here? A suspicion crossed his mind. You havent kidnapped her have you? Im not having my tavern used for you to make ransom demands to Lady Olath ...
VINDICAI Secretive drow
Vindicai laughed. If Id kidnapped the brat, I would hardly be fool enough to make ransom demands in person when a letter would be so much safer and so much easier to arrange. Believe it or not, the girl is with me of her own free will. There is no profit, and the girl is a perishing nuisance that I could well do without, but she is with me because its the only ...
ARANN THULE Drow owner of the Willow Tavern
Arann looked at his visitor with annoyed resignation. Vindicai was still playing his games. How much should he believe of what was said, and how much wasnt being said at all?
It was tempting to get Guilin to throw Vindicai out again, but he had made an agreement. There was even the risk that Vindicai could find a way to disrupt the ...
VINDICAI Secretive drow
It was time to play his card. The element of surprise was always good for rocking someone off balance, and making them agree to something. He was betraying a weakness, but this was Arann Thule. Arann was a do gooder, and with one of those you could use your weakness as a weapon. There was just one problem.
I will tell you some things, Arann, but in strictest...
ARANN THULE Drow owner of the Willow Tavern
Arann shrugged and nodded at Guilin. The eyes of the warforged gleamed for a moment before he turned and left the room.
Arann lit a lantern and set it in the middle of the kitchen table, and then filled two tankards from a jug of ale. He placed them on the table, then sat down in a chair and gestured at the seat opposite him. He wanted a ...
VINDICAI Secretive drow Vindicai looked up at the sky. It might rain yet. If it did, then it would put out the flames and Darice would be willing to head back to the Bogwater Tavern and to bed. He wrapped his cloak round her and began to make plans for the future. He would need to assess the items in his bank vault. He had only had time to glimpse the treasures so far as he dumped them into his bag. The few he had seen and identified in...
