Qurrak shook his head. '...I don't see the meaning behind a medal for this. I will be the laughing stock, if I'll try to.glory over a pathetic man falling from a window. Maybe in our next service I'll be worthy of it." He look away ashamed. Justice or injustice didnt seemed to bother him as "honor'. "Well, I agree to try and serve this town again. Maybe under you, I could find some honor."

"Friends, let's take a moment and let tempers calm. It seems to me that Aerendyl only meant to slow or injure the man. The judge had to know there was no escape simply by running. He was a smart man, he likely would have known his only option would be to take a hostage and negotiate a release. It is possible has he not been stopped immediately, someone else might have lost their life. I'm am not saying he deserved to die. But I am saying, lets try to salvage this as best we can. I am neither judge, nor jury, and certainly not an executioner, though sometimes responsibility falls heavy upon us all."

"I am in agreement with Flynn," the Mayor says solemnly. "We can only regret the past, but the future may be changed. Come, let us head back to the town hall." He leads the party back, hands Daos a pouch of gold coins, and gives Qurrak his medal (if he accepts it).
"Now, my request. Draft's band of bandits has been dealt with, but they were far from the only group of marauders in Parsall. It receives little protection from the crown, and is such a vulnerable target for thieves. I would love to request you make a request to the King on behalf of me for greater protection. However, I am merely the mayor of a small town, whose words mean little to such a powerful ruler. So I request you go to the Duke of Parsall, in Capritol, and request he request you to request the King to send more troops to Parsall. He and I are old friends, so I hope he will listen to my request."
Aerendyl shakes his head. "I'm afraid I cannot make amends to you before I make them to Bahamut, and to myself. I will embark on a holy pilgrimage to the great mountains of Arcadia, and pray that he forgives my misstep."

Daos accepts the gold, then divides it among the group; each person getting 20 GP out of the 100 GP.
He then listens to the mayor's request to request a request for aid. "So we will speak to this Duke of Parsall on your behalf, asking him to ask the king for support?" he asks, trying to make sure he has it straight. Do you have some kind of seal or signet we could carry to him, to show him that we were sent on your behalf?"

Chesham nods. "This is one of my signet rings," he says, handing it to Daos. The inside is inscribed with a sword interposed on Ren's flag.

"Excellent," Daos says, pocketing the ring. "We shall be off first thing in the morning." To the others he says, "Until then, now's the time to get any shopping done for supplies."

(OOC: Would Daos know how far away Capritol is on foot?)

"Perhaps we consider pooling our funds a buying a horse and wagon... or even a few donkeys and a wagon? I for one would be quite happy to work with you all for the foreseeable future. Should we consider it a spending money to make money scenario?"

"It's certainly worth thinking about," Daos says. "I'll need to see how much coin I have left after buying supplies. The journey is only a few days, but I have no food left, so I'll definitely want to remedy that."

Qurrak refuse the medal. 'Without a gloriouse act behind it, the medal is empty. But please, if may you... keep it. I surely will be worthy of it soon.'
Qurrak nod. 'I am not that good with gold anyway.'

After purchasing enough rations to get there and back, Flynn is ready to set off. "Shall we leave at first light, or set out post haste?"

'I, feel more at ease outside of the constraints of civilization... but I am fine either way.' Qurrak say quitly.

"First light," Daos replies. "I could use a good meal and a long night sleep before hitting the road again."

After a good night's sleep, Alonzo is ready to leave, impeccable as ever. He slaps his brother on the shoulder. Morning, princess! Thought you were sleeping forever. Shall we get going while there's still a minute or two of daylight?
