(IC) Lost in Dreams (Julian)

[ericthered]

The man appears stunned for a moment -- something that strengthen's Julian's suspicions. (failed acting roll)

The head smith: "No, this is Taqib! He is a good customer."

Taqib regains some composure: "Who is this boy?! Why is he here?"

"I saw him jump from the flying house to the village. They loot! Bad guy!"

I won't explain anything to Taqib here. The smith might, I suppose.

The smith switches to some fancy version of the language that's harder to understand. something about "street" and "high demand" and "sorry".

Then he turns to Julian and says "Go back and work. Or leave."

Taqib: "This clothing is common. you must have me mixed up with another Knight of Air"

Apparently all of Julian's self confidence was saved up for this moment.

"OK."

I rush off to my contact's. Maybe I can explain it to the contact in time before this guy leaves with his wagon...

Hopefully good enough...

When I get there, I try to explain about the flying warrior at the blacksmith's, while I try to draw a picture so they can identify him.

Your contact isn't standing guard, but some yelling gets him out.



"What did you see? Purchasing weapons? Taqib? I'll check."


Some more yelling, and another man comes out, this one looking like he's higher ranked. You can hear the name "Taqib" a bunch.



His contact summaries. "We trust Taqib. Thank you. Do not disturb him further. We will check."

Well, I guess I better find a new job. Maybe that potter is still looking...

He's not heading back to the blacksmith shop then?



There is indeed a potter who needs him to... help tend a fire and move heavy objects. Its remarkably similar to the last job.

Well, he said stay and work or leave, and I left, so...

Well at least I know how a bellows works now. At the end of the day, I look to see if they have any scrap clay around.

This shop has fewer workers, but more customers and product. There is are two main Potters, two that seem more more subservient, and three boys (including Peter). Customers are constantly coming in and out, and there is a lot of fire managing to do.



There is a little bit of scrape clay around, yes.

Well, less time for distractions, though I doubt "Taqib" will wander in for pots.

I take a little piece of scrap. I'll see if I can fire it with a heat vasic later.
