Kalyr 62 - The Knife Show

One of two of Rotemdol's knives get a little closer to the target than
he had intended, to gasps from the crowd.  Fortunately the target
doesn't move; the youth who was so cocky just a few moments ago is now
rigid with fear.

The audience are loving it.  "Closer!  Closer!", cries a human voice. 

"Get him in the bollocks!", shouts another voice.

Rotemdol notices one human member of the audience paying him
particular attention.  He doesn't seem joining in with the applause of
the crowd at all.



Meanwhile a human couple, a middle-aged man and a slightly younger
woman, sit at the end of the table next to Zul.  They talk in hushed
tones, but Zul makes out the words 'Karazthan' and 'fire'.

As I take him off to the applause of the crowd I tell the bartender "This
guy deserve
a stiff drink, give him something that will settle him down" and I tell the
guy where
everyone from his table can hear " Enjoy your drink, you earned it"

Rotemdol is reflecting on the places he hit. Is it possible that that
someone nudge my knives (using telek)? If someone did is it possibly the
person concentrating on me?

Years ago, in one of the cities further down the river, Rotemdol saw a
telekinetic knife-thrower.  He made the knives curve in mid-air.
Today's problems don't seem quite like that, more like the nervousness
of today's volunteer putting off Rodemdol's aim.

[ooc: Banjo is Rotemdol knife instructor and he is good.

The Jamjee routine is a sort of like a Kata. It is a very advanced knife
Kata
and requires the capability of throwing and fast drawing in the off hand.
We set two target on stage. Each a human like with a shield.
Banjo is walking around, Rotemdol comes between the targets and
throws a knife at Banjo(The knife is turning and will hit hilt first if it
hits banjo
but should hit behind him point first). Banjo should roll under the knife
and draw two knives and throw them at the targets (hopefully penetrating
the shields).
As he comes up Rotemdol attacks
him with a nirvork looking very dangerous (for which he has the nirvork
art skill). Banjo
paries with a main gauche movement and goes for the neck. It is a very
short (10 seconds) but very
fast Kata and looks very impressive. The danger is mainly to the attacker
and should not
be much.

Rotemdol is in leather armor which usually negates the danger in this Kata]

Rotemdol replies "well, this time you are on the defending side so the most
that
can happen to you is that you fall on your ass. Try to be gentle in the
last movement
as I want to be able to finish the show, you know I have the apples to deal
with"

Assuming Banjo agrees Rotemdol walks to the stage and says
" I have the rare pleasure of inviting to my show the Great Banjo, the
second to none knife fighter
who has learned under Thorn Ort himself. Banjo will perform the extremely
dangerous Jamjee routine.
Now watch very carefully because we are going to do it
only twice, that is if both of us are alive after the first time." Rotemdol
acts very nervous
(he is not really) as he set up the stage.

If all goes well Banjo will also show the pentrating power of the knives
when he throws them,
showing what happen to the shields, Rotemdol complaining how expensive it
is to buy new props everytime,
and then step down.

She nods appreciatively at the kandar's knife work -- noting his
ambidexterity for future reference. The fancy nirvork stuff? She remembers
what Orrin told her about such flash moves:

"That zarandar crap is for girls." She mutters the words to herself and
smirks. Orrin was always baiting her that way.

She keeps an ear on the pair who seem to be talking about the recent
catastrophe at the Karazthan warehouse. The official line had been that it
was a fire, but she'd heard some wild rumors that something stranger had
been the cause. A man-eating glethnu? She'd have written these two off as a
couple of drugged-out freaks -- except one of them seemed to be this Anais
Nin dude she'd heard about. Guy was supposed to know what was up. Have to
check in with him before I call it a night, Zul thinks.

Rotemdol wispers " takes the steps to the second floor, My room is the
one across from the stairs, come in a few minutes and I will be there"
Than he tells him in normal voice " By Ulseth, if there is any justice
you should have your wishes coming true till Truthday"

Rotemdol goes back to his table. He than tells Banjo and Kayman to wait for
him
as he is going to discuss something with Golnyr. He goes up to his room.

When Golnyr comes up he will invite him in. He is not sure where this
is going to so he will be on his guard. Rotemdol will invite
Golnyr to tell him what sort of business he has in mind.

Golnyr is a long time coming, but does eventually turn up.

"Let's not beat around the bush", he says, "I know your reputation,

"I'm assuming you know what's happened to my family, after all, the

" We were talking about your misfourtune when we noticed you.
Banjo said that if somebody did even half
of it to him, not that anyone would dare, he would have taken some drastic
action
but then Banjo is a professional"

Rotemdol reflects for a moment and than continues carefully

" I don't know what you know about me. It is true I have killed a few local
wizards
and possibly a few bodyguard a while ago. It is also true I polished off a
few
forigner wizards in the last few years, however all of this was done for
personal reasons. I am
very touchy about wizards with the Way of the Will who try to mess with my
mind. In all
cases the court ruled for self defence and I was able to convince the
relatives of the dead
that we can bury our knifes sort to speak. Most of my reputation, I think,
came from the fact
that me and my friends can be convincing.
So far I have made my money showing off in public with knifes and not in
more private ways.

However I do know a few people who will be happy to accept commissions and
I can easily
arrange a meeting. I guess it all depends on who the individual you want
dealt with is. "

Rotemdol stops and than adds " A personal advice, it is probably better to
start at the
top. Killing hireling will give you some satisfaction but might involve you
in an additional
vandeta which I am not sure you could handle now.

In any case" Rotemdol adds "if you have an offer I am listening"

Kalyr 64 - The Room Upstairs (Rotemdol)

He sounds impressed by the tales of dead wizards, although Rotemdol
isn't quite sure the noble is convinced of the tale's truth.

"He's in the bar downstairs, if you want to take a look at him; in
here with some cheap floozy.  Not that you'd want to take him on in a
crowded bar, of course".

"Name's Klarrash", he continues, "Got a bit of a reputation in the

However, I know people who may be willing to accept some commissions. If

never come back. But you know,  A thought occured to me. Klarrash seems to
be drinking a lot and is not bound to be reasnoble. If he happens to insult
a kandar who would than go to the temple of Kardak the Defender, which is
near by, and tell them that he has been insulted by a human, they might
send a few knights to check on that human and than, who knows what will
happen."

Rotemdol stops for a moment and then says " It could happen in the same way
even if he did not insult any kandar...". After a few seconds for the idea
to sink Rotemdol says " nice talking to you, however I heard there may be
some good entertainment comming, I would not want to miss it. so I have to
hurry downstairs. Sorry we could not do buisness this time, all the luck".
Rotemdol than joins his friends and looks to see what will happen,
especially if Golnyr goes outside.

If Rotemdol table location is such that he will be in the center of the
action he will change to a better location.

"That's probably what I expected to hear", Golnyr says, "But I think
the getting him insulted suggestion has potential; the Knights of
Kardak are stupid enough to take him on".

Klarrash is indeed very drunk now, two of his companions are covered
in spilled beer.

Rotemdol expect the evening to be interesting and maybe entertaining. He
takes part of his knife collection (not the expensive ones) and  put about
20 of them on his table.  Rotemdol will take a target and put it in a place
such that a knife throwing game will get him located in a good place, if
necessary moving the table (Rotemdol assumes that a brawl is coming, and
assume he knows the approximate location. He plans to stay out of it, but
wants to have good view, and will prepare accordingly.). He will play
against Banjo and invite some friends to join. The game will be just for
fun, no betting.

[ The game will be set in such a way that it will be unlikely for Klarrash
to join]


Rotemdol is humming to himself most of this time.

He does overhear the name 'Ayras Ni'.

Gerryn catches a lot of local gossip; who's supposed to be having
romantic liasons with whom, also a lot of talk about recent
assassinations and murders, and whether or not there's a connection
between them all.

"Care to dance?", says a young but plump woman with a lot of hair and
far too much cleavage, as she takes Gerryn's hand and tries to drag
him onto the dancefloor.

Gerryn blinks as he brings his attention back to the here and now.  "Sure!" 
he agrees as he drains his ale before joining the woman on the dance floor.

"Gerryn." he replies, "What's your's."

>"Gerryn." he replies, "What's your's."

"Geela", she says, "I work for Estan the vegetable-seller".  Gerryn
vaguely recalls a run-down establishment that seens to sell nothing
but past-their-best cabbages.

She holds Gerryn close as the band proceed to play a slower number.

They continue to talk as the band plays, but Gerryn keeps a small part of 
mind aware of any trouble.

Kalyr 66 - Oops!! (Gerryn, Zul, Rotemdol)

It takes Rotemdol a while to set the target and wooden board up,
during which time he starts to gather a crowd of a couple of dozen
onlookers.

Meanwhile Geela tries an overambitious dance step and gets a leg
entangled with Gerryn's, causing the pair of them to topple over right
onto a Klarrash and Soyara, spilling Klarrash's drink, most of which
goes over Gerryn.

The man's companions, who themselves had been drenched in beer a
moment or two earlier, burst out laughing.

"You will pay for this!", Klarrash roars at Geela and Gerryn, slapping
Geela across the face.  He's clearly very drunk; his own female
companion edges away.

Soyara gives Zul the pre-arranged safety signal.

Kalyr 66 - Oops!! (Gerryn, Zul, Rotemdol)

[Zul]
While Klarrash is looking at Gerryn, Zul darts between Klarrash and Soyara
and starts backing her client away, facing toward the drunken slumlord's
son as she goes. She keeps her mouth shut, hoping Klarrash won't notice,
until she has hustled Soyara out the nearest exit. She keeps the beer in
her right hand.

As she scans the scene, looking for any of Klarrash's thugs who might
intervene, she notes Gerryn's busty dance partner pressing her hands to her
face. *I'll be back for you, hon. Hang in there*, Zul thinks.

Rotemdol watches as he continues to play.
[Where is Golnyr? is he around or did he go to get the knights?]

Golnyr had just reached the doorway when he heard the crash; he looks 
round to check on the source of the commotion.
