Sean will be taking Agatha and Cizvar out tomorrow. Cizvar has also requested
that Holly attend, though she is free to do as she wishes. Anyone else is
welcome to join. It would be nice to hear the scrying results before he goes,
but not necessary. Similarly, it would be nice to hear at least acknowledgment
from Count Lazziar before he goes, but even less necessary.
If asked about why he's in such a hurry (as if he is never in such a hurry),
Sean will simply say he wants to go see Tina, and he intends to leave nothing
behind waiting to be done. Also, he figures he'll need spending money to hire
folks, purchase building supplies, and everything else for building a
homestead.
Sean will approach Manrug sometime before he leaves, hopefully sometime before
he chats with the elves. "Captain, you have two men, Dangal and Sinyur, who
are butchers. Would they, under command of Kelbis, be permitted to come along?
Once we kill this thing, a skilled butcher, or taxidermist, would be helpful
in harvesting its hide. I want everyone in the Cove to have something made
from the wee beastie. I'm hoping to be able to make signaling horns, hopefully
with distinctive sounds, so that we would tell messages from the pitch.
Anyway, if your men come along, and stay out of the fray, they will be in
position to field strip the hide quickly, preserving more of it for use.

elves, did they? ;-)

Sean *asks* Holly to transmit any information Carandolana is willing to share

wants to go on a dragon hunt, and Sean is going to accommodate him. He *asks*
her to relay that he has no plan and is not asking anyone to come along if they
would rather not.
Sean tells Cizvar that we'll go hunting in two days. He tells Agatha to get
ready to go boot shopping. And he'll spend the following day preparing,
including telling Ahearn of the hunt. Near the end of the day tomorrow, he
will introduce himself to the elven delegation. He hopes Holly will be
monitoring the communication. "Greetings Count Lazziar, I am Sean Marley
March. While I am sure you have been welcomed before, please allow me to
extend my personal welcome, and thank you for and the Lady for treating with
us. While I have no official position within Lord Hagar's court, beyond,
perhaps his chief scout and perpetual uncomfortable wild card, perhaps I can
answer any questions you may have that have yet to have been answered. I
believe Lord Hagar has expressed a desire for closer cooperation betwixt your
people and our community. While no merchant myself, I would like to see our
community act as intermediary between your people and the wider world, who,
even now, remain largely unaware of your presence and unappreciative of your
good will. With your Lady's permission, we would bring you such goods and
services as you might not have in your realm, and, through us, we could bring
to the wider world the boons and produce of your realm. In the arena of
security, we could offer a mutual support treaty. Your people would always be
welcome here, come what may. As for my personal wishes, as I am sure you have
been made aware by the Lady Tiriana and her most august priestess of Artor,
priestess Namys Loraydark, I seek any information you may have been authorized
to share regarding the ancient dragon known as Ezanus the Evergreen. It is my
understanding that your people have something of a curious detente with the
wyrm. He has harassed our community, and it is my intent to determine whether
we can also form an uneasy detente with the creature, or whether we will be
forced to eliminate him, understanding the delicate and complicated balance of
interests which must be considered."
