Anita will let Rosewood lead the way...

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 23):

you arrive at the emple of Janus, where you find a couple blue cloaks of the city guard.

In reply to Guardsman (msg # 24):

"Hey guys. We are seeking to visit the Autumn plane..."

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 25):

the two guards look at each other.
"The dwarf didn't say anything about people coming from this side of things. "

Rosewood cast the glow spell on himself to make it clear to the guards he spell caster and drew attention to himself.

As a result of some complicated issues involving high ranking members of both the summer and winter fay courts I need to visit the Autumn court and most likely the spring court as well.  The others here have join me to help with my quest to seek answers.

We do not wish any trouble.  We wish talk to some people in Autumn Court, gain some information and move on.  My name is Rosewood. 

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 27):

"Right. And I am François and this is Montclair. We are here to guard against incursion from the gates here... how did you find out about them?"



might be a need forvsome social skills here

Hello François and Hello Montclair.  It is nice to meet you.  I do hope we can get along well.
As I said I am Rosewood.  The human is called Anita Drake and the creature behind is called Atticus Belvedere Silexum.  To sum things up.  I was asked to leave the Summer Court.  Mab, Queen of the Winter Court ask me in person to join her realm but I did not find myself at home there.  The Queen gave me direction to come here as the Autumn Court may hold the answer to where I may find a new home.  A realm I can call home.  That is why I wish to enter the Autumn Court and talk to the fay there.

OOC:
Look around confused - social skills - Rosewood spent most of his life talking to books.  Leroy du Lac was his first friend that was not a fairy from his childhood.  Social skills.  The only social skills he has it his blunt to the point innocent honesty.  So that something he going have add to his list of things to learn.

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 29):

feeling left out, Gordab bows and quietly says
"I am Gordab Bardson, a musician."

In reply to Gordab Bardson (msg # 30):

"And what are we supposed to do with you lot?" says Montclair

Rosewood looks around and sees Gordab Bardson.  He so big that sometimes Rosewood just see him as part of the landscape.
Oh dear. He says.  The fairy then flys off to face the big Ogre.
I am so sorry.  I am not good at this talking thing.  Leroy du Lac usually does all the talking.  Please forgive me?

He asks the Ogre.  Rosewood is clearly upset with his mistake and does not wish hurt the Gordab feelings.

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 32):

Anita sighed.

"You are supposed to open the Autumn gate for us and let us through. And not kill us when we return."

"Supposed to? Says who? Look lady, we were told by authorities from the Hadereum to guard this gate and only open it at certain intervals."

In reply to Guardsman (msg # 34):

"You are to guard against incursion from the gates. Not legitimate users. If we have been directed to go to the Autumn court, do you want to front the court, or better yet, be the cause of your superiors fronting the court, to answer why you do not allow legitimate users who have been directed by the courts to pass through? Did you not hear what Rosewood said? She has been directed by thew Winter court, no less, to attend to the Autumn court. Guarding against incursion is one thing, but you are defying the courts to block legitimate users..."

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 35):

"What Winter Court? We recognize the courts of the Baron Mabinota as overseen by the Hadereum,and those aren't seasonal."

In reply to Guardsman (msg # 36):

"The winter court holds authority the other side of the winter gate, just as the Baron does here. That makes us legitimate travelers and users of the gate."

Rosewwood decide to just keep quite now.  Hoping these human where not like other he come agree.  To willing to draw a sword and hit other creatures.

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 38):

"Well enough for winter, we have specific instructions about that gate, and we aren't opneing it until the bell from the Cathedral rings six times. If you want to wait we can open the Winter doorvthen."

In reply to Guardsman (msg # 39):

"Right. What about the Autumn gate, where we have been directed to go?"

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 40):

the second guard looks questioningly at François "They didn't say anything about Autumn,just winter."

In reply to Guardsman (msg # 41):

"So we, as legitimate users, can go there. Clearly."

Rosewoods adds.
You would be following your orders and we would be following our.  So everybody can be happy and will do what they been ordered to do.

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 43):

"You have a point. which door is Autumn?"

If I may quote Ambrosia Nocturne, Ambassador of the Winter Court.  You need to go to the hill and find the dome where the two faced one points, and take the third door. There you will find your desire.

Rosewood looks around.

Does that make sense to you? He asks the guards.

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 45):

"Sure. The third door. Which one is the winter door?"

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 46):

"Let's see, that one, the doric is winter. then you have ionic, corinthian, and composite. if winter is last, that would make it the arch with the Composite capitals."
