Very shortly after Reeve departs a large carriage, easily large enough to carry the party, arrives at the Hanged Man. The driver takes them down near the water, to a house that is more a statement than an abode. The intended statement is fairly obviously “I am better than you.”

A well-groomed footman opens the door and offers a hand to any who might require it. Reeve stands beside a magnificent doorway, waiting to lead you all inside. “My master awaits within.”

As the party is leaving the tavern, one of the wenches turns and waves "May Juna judge your efforts just" she says.

Scarmiglione can't help himself: he simply must find out what is going on with this Lord Rustavich. He knows precious little about the man--not even whether the fellow is an opera buff--and during the entire carriage ride he has been burning with curiosity. What could the problem be? Missing wife? Traitorous heir? Pregnant housemaid?--no, no, he'd hardly want a group of people like this to deal with something like that. "But whatever could it be!" he murmurs to himself.

Scarmiglione steps from the carriage with barely a thought about being recognized, despite the flimsiness of his identity as "Harold Smith."

H.M.Gimlord · May 20, 2011

Following after her friends Eithal emerges from the hanged man, "Wayt foah me!" The carriage groans under the warden's weight as she steps inside.

Hunched inside the vehicle, she fights the feeling of claustrophobia as it rambles down the streets. When she emerges, the footman swears that the underside of the carriage is not nearly as high as it was at the beginning of the trip. Eithal, however, takes no notice, "Awlrightie! Whayel, whayah's - ooooooooooh," the awesome sight of the dwelling takes Eithal's last statement and throws it back down her throat, "Layand saykes! Thayat's a beeeaaaautie of a hayouse!"

Crushing Earthstrength: When Eithal uses her second wind, she gains a +4 bonus to her weapon damage rolls until the end of her next turn.

Guard of Stone: While Eithal is under the effect of her stone’s endurance racial power, each enemy marked by Eithal takes an additional penalty to attack rolls for attacks that don’t include Eithal as a target. The penalty equals her Constitution modifier and lasts until the end of her next turn.

Courage of the Lone Stag: When you mark three or more enemies with Nature’s Wrath, you gain a +2 bonus to weapon damage rolls against creatures you mark until the start of your next turn. This bonus increases to +3 at 11th level, and to +4 at 21st level.[/sblock]

Scarmiglione said:
"But whatever could it be!" he murmurs to himself.

Toeto, next to exit the carriage, nods slightly as she wonders about the same thing. She rather suspects that the task must be dangerous and quite violent. That's enough to make her sigh.

Her eyes go right past the house and instead to the river. "Nice view" she comments.

Rock on guys! I'll be following along your progress and cheering from the sidelines.

Kaz steps out of the carriage. Unluckily for him he sat next to Eithal during the trip, but thanks to his small frame he survived with only minor injuries.

Glancing at the house, he was in awe. He has seen stately manors back in the Jade Kingdom, but he had yet to bask in the opulence of homes in this country.

Wow, Kaz, will you look at this place? It's going to be one of those places where you should take off your boots when you enter! With that, Yishim casts a quick illusion to make his own boots disappear.
