07.08f Upside Down

[khadjair]

Cameron will try - the point of the exercise is to see not only what he can do, but what its effects on him are. Of course, it might have him on his knees clutching his head on the other side, but in the end, it's knowledge. Of course, his first response once over the initial shock will be to try an compose himself.

"Thank you, Morgana. I... needed an assistant, and he came with family. I should get them settled with the orcs... Oh damn, where are my manners."

He will gesture to each in turn. "This is Zunkar, my new assistant and a master smith of his own right, and his brother, uh...." he pauses and blsuhes, realizing he's brought someone he didn't know. "And this is Minrus... Min, his uncle. And this is Lady Morgana, the monarch of Ht'gon, one of the Courts I spoke of, and my.. patron."

[Joshua]

Morgana is dressed much differently from them. While it is semi-formal, she looks more like a swamp-witch or Baba Yaga, cloak over her ogre features, herb pouches and folds of fabric. Oddly, she's still slighly larger then the minotaurs, who do not seem used to being smaller than anyone. "It's good to meet you all. Nice to see some newcomers with-" She will catch herself from saying culture. "Regardless, we can find a place for you. Unfortunately, you have arrived at the busiest time of our new-year festival, so it may take a bit."

She will firmly shake hands with all three of them.

"Cameron, did you want to order it? If I recall, you ended up in the orc camp..." She looks at the three of them. "They might be able to handle the city, if you wanted to try setting something up there. Or, there's a few churches, if..." She will look Min over, "If he's of a compatible denomination."

[khadjair]

"As for a church, that, I think, is up to Min. I was thinking in the short term set them up in the city until more suitable arrangements can be made in the camp. Since I'm hoping to actually help it become more of a proper settlement rather than a camp. I have my quarters here, but I suspect I'll spend most of my time there, if that is okay, m'Lady."

He turns to the minotaurs. "In the end, the choice is up to you. Zunkar chose to come to be my assistant, so I will need him to stay close, but I am not going to even attempt to dictate how you should live. I would like it if you were to stay with the orcs, with me, but it is not somethign I would require, though that's where the workshop and forges will be that I'll be constructing."

[Joshua]

Zunkar will shrug. "For the week, an inn should be fine. We can look around and get a feel for the land. Sounds like you're a little new here as well."

Kirkun (the big brother) will look at Morgana, "Are there a lot of non-minotaurs here?" he will ask, with that awkward look of someone recently removed from a mono-culture.

[khadjair]

Cameron nods to Zunkar. "I'll make sure you have good rooms, and I'll take you about later to see things, maybe help me site the workshop and manufactory. I realize this might be a strange time to ask, but do you know much of siegecraft and the like?"

He turns to Kirkun, "I should apologize for that, I should've mentioned I don't think I've seen any other minotaurs here, though you are most definitely welcome. I'll admit there are some... tension between the races here but we are doing what we can to make everyone feel welcome."

He mumbles quietly "when we're not unintentionally formenting rebellion..." He blushes at that, then bows to Morgana. "Is there anything m'lady requires? Otherwise I can tend to getting our guests and hopefully new citizens settled for the time being."

[Joshua]

Morgana thinks. "Harrune wanted to walk Ht'Gon's pattern. I wasn't sure if the orcs would take offense at such an action. If you hear anything, let me know."

(OOC: Looks like the details of setting 3 minotaurs up at an inn will be dull. And rather quick... Oddly, they seem more at home in teh town than the orc-camp. Although, Min is fairly used to being a wilderness warrior, so can hold his own.)

[khadjair]

"I was there when he walked Remba's. I figured it was only a matter of time before he tried another. I personally don't foresee a problem offhand, but if need be... well, once he has more information, I might be willing to attempt similar, though the experience didn't look all that enjoyable."

((OOC: as for setting the minotaurs up, it will be more important that they be comfortable, and understand where the main workshop will likely be. Since that's where Cameron will likely be doing most of his work, and likely instruction))

[khadjair]

Cameron pauses for a moment. "Uh, Lady Morgana... When was the tournament supposed to start? It would be bad form if I didn't show..." He looks to the minotaurs and to Osmund. "You're welcome to come with me if you'd like, see something special about Ht'gon that the others don't seem to have. Besides... I have a feeling a fight would be far more to your liking than a ball or other pageantry."

[Joshua]

Osmund, at least, will be accompanying Cameron. The minotaurs will catch up once they finish getting settled.

You should be able to get to the other thread whenever you'd like. It's still before the tournament started in this thread.

[khadjair]

Cameron will head for his rooms to change, and will invite Osmund to come with to talk. They will eventually find their way to the tournament
