Ely edit Sep 12 2024:

Total: 1+2 bonus qps for RPing in square and with another clan

****************************************************

Kitiara Sedai offers incentive for any Gleeman who spreads stories of unity, particularly among the south.

Major Participants: Kitiara, Astrid
Minor appearance: Bakkus



Tear Central Square
Directly facing the Stone, drooping and elegant rows of laurel trees at the
edges mark the boundary of this square, which has wide redbrick paths
leading to a permanently-flowing fountain in the center. A white marble
building to the east has its door open, with a sign engraved above the
door. To the north and west, passers-by wander by the square. A large
banner hung at the edge of the square depicts a map of the city.
[ obvious exits: N E W ]
Zone: Tear
Door east: strongdoor
The waters of a blue-veined marble fountain pour forth here.
An oil lamp, set in a steel cage, hangs from a high wooden pole.
A stout wooden barrel stands nearby.
A pale destrier stands here, adorned with the white flame of Tar Valon, being ridden by you.
The Tear town crier stands here, spreading the news.
A Hand of the Light watches for Darkfriends.
An Illuminator's assistant stands here carrying some colored tubes.

Astrid has arrived from the north.

Astrid flourishes grandly.

Astrid looks at Kitiara.

Kitiara smiles warmly as the Gleeman enters the Central Square.

Kitiara looks at astrid
A slender woman with dark, almond-shaped eyes and a boyish haircut stands
here, flourishing a brightly-coloured patchwork cloak about her as she
moves lightly on her feet.

Kitiara says 'So heavily armored for a gleeman... dangerous roads of late?'

Astrid says 'It's dangerous times, lady...?'

Bakkus has arrived from the north, riding a gray palfrey.

Bakkus says 'Well hello ladies'

Astrid nods at Bakkus.

Astrid looks at Bakkus.

Kitiara grins wryly at the Gleeman, before glancing up to see Defender Bakkus entering the Square

Kitiara says 'Gleeman Astrid, would you go for a ride with me?'

Bakkus says 'Do so please Astrid you dont know what happens outside'

Bakkus says 'best keep your wits about ya'

Astrid grins evilly.

Astrid says 'I think I will have to take my leave, and not get in strange carts with women I don't know'

Kitiara says 'Just a ride outside the walls, nothing too far'

Bakkus looks at Kitiara.

Astrid says 'Well if it's not too far'

Astrid gets a package of dried rations from an embroidered, cotton shoulder bag.

Kitiara says 'not at all'

Bakkus waves.

Astrid eats a package of dried rations.

Kitiara beckons Astrid to follow her.

Astrid says 'I'm gonna get myself killed one of these days'

Kitiara says 'Enjoy your day Defender.'

Astrid starts following Kitiara.

A SHORT RIDE LATER

Passing Through a Lit Corridor
Seafolk porcelain nestled in display benches carved into the walls line
this corridor while chandeliers drop from the high, plaster framed ceiling.
Black marble tinted with streaks of gold prevade the floor. This passageway
breaks off into four. To the north lies a large room with a flight of steps
climbing up the floors and to the east lies a short narrow access leading
to, judging from the mouth tantalizing smell, a kitchen. To the west a
narrow passageway leads to a small corridor and far to the south is the
front entrance of the manor.
[ obvious exits: N E S W ]
Zone: Haddon Mirk
Door south: door
A quiet servant awaits instructions from his master.
Astrid has arrived from the south.

Kitiara closes the door to the manor.

Kitiara smiles happily.

Astrid ponders life, the universe, and everything.

Kitiara says 'I have an arrangement with the Manor lord... sorry I pull you away, I am not fond of that particular Defender.'

Astrid says 'Lady I don't even know who you are'

Kitiara smiles warmly, 'I do so apologize, I am Kitiara Sedai, a Sitter for the Blue Ajah at the White Tower.'

Astrid bows before Kitiara.

Astrid says 'Astrid Mongain, Gleeman Bard'

Kitiara says 'So I have heard... and if fact it is why I have sought you out.'

Astrid peers closely at Kitiara; she should guard her secrets carefully...

Kitiara takes a measuring look at the Gleeman, 'I have a job for you... and your fellow gleeman if they are
interested.'

Kitiara says 'As I am sure you have heard, Shadowspawn have made a greater presence to the South... and many a force have '
been traveling the Southern spine and Drowned Lands trying to sort it all out.

Kitara looks at astrid
A slender woman with dark, almond-shaped eyes and a boyish haircut stands
here, flourishing a brightly-coloured patchwork cloak about her as she
moves lightly on her feet.


Astrid says 'It's less of a fellowship and more of a collective of independents, but if gold is involved I'm sure
there'll be interest.'

Astrid says 'I have heard, yes, dangerous times I said.'

Kitiara says 'Indeed, so I would like to hire you and perhaps some others to start telling stories... particularly those '
that involve opposing forces united to fight a common enemy.

Astrid grins evilly.

Astrid says 'A commission!'

Kitiara says 'And I want you to spread these stories, to as many people as you can in as many nations... However with '
particular focus to the Southern regions.

Kitiara says 'And... Discretion. '

Astrid gets a leather water flask from an embroidered, cotton shoulder bag.

Astrid drinks water from a leather water flask.

Kitiara says 'The people need not know an Aes Sedai is encouraging anything in particular. '

Astrid says 'I can be discreet Lady Kitiara Aes Sedai'


Kitiara says 'What say you to the idea? Do you have stories in mind?'

Astrid says 'I will pass the word along, my what a Game'

Kitiara says 'And how would you like compensation? I think a per story told would be fair enough yes?'

Astrid says 'That sounds like you already have something reasonable in mind.'

Kitiara gives the gleeman a stiff but sympathetic look, 'I would not want to insult your profession with an offer
that is not befit your expertise. Please, name your price that we may find a suitable arrangement.'

Kitiara looks at Astrid.

Astrid says 'Favours for favours are worth more than gold to me but I'll put it to the fellowship'

Astrid says 'I had best go and do that discreetly perhaps.'

Kitiara nods in agreement.

Kitiara says 'I look forward to hearing from you'

Kitara opens the door

Astrid says 'I'm sure you shall'

Astrid leaves south.
