Constables of the 14th Ward Part 3

[KerlanRayne]

"It would sound like someone ringing a bell for several seconds. When you hear it, go to the lockbox and try to catch them in the act."

 

[Rhun]

Brae nods and returns to his bench and drink, trying to think of any other ways he might be able to help.

 

[Scotley]

"Oh what will they think of next. Magical crime fighting techniques. And who'd have though I'd ever be using them. My old da would never have credited it. I guess I have to keep it a secret though huh?"

She pours a generous round 'on the house' for the Constables.

Ederaul Mamier and his new Robe 4

Still staring and listening intently to the sounds of the coins dropping into the lockbox, Raul turns to the others and suggests, "I've been listening and counting the coins, let's check the lockbox for its contents before we use spells to protect it. I'd like to know if the coins are still there now or already gone."

 

[Helfdan]

Alarion nods pensively. "That is a great idea, friend Raul!"

 

[Scotley]

"Well alright then, I don't normally count it down this early, but I'm eager to see as well." She takes the key from a chain around her neck and opens the lock. She sweeps the coins into her apron and takes them to a back table for a careful accounting. After she counts and a Constable confirms. The coins tally up well with the counts you did in your heads. "This is about a third of the take for a typical day. We do most of our business in the late afternoon and evening, so I'd day this is right." She shakes her head. "The cash coming in hasn't really changed. If anything we are getting more coin in than ever, but I'm still coming up short when I balance the books." Tears well up at the corners of her eyes as she gazes up at the assembled Constables.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

SoulFetter reaches down with a ham size hand and gently pats his friend on the back, tears welling in his own eyes in sympathy.

The hulking Barbarian was literate, but not well versed in the ways of keeping books and such higher mathmatics - in his tribe the most complicated negotiations ran to 'How many chickens for that awesome axe?' and records weren't really part of the equation.

 

[Leif]

OOC

Ahh, SoulFetter, ever the gentle giant! Buck up, Mate! The Constables will be back to their murderous ways before too awfully long!

 

[KerlanRayne]

Unsure what to do now, Tau decides to leave. "I'll go look into that spell. I'll see you all later." Tau then leaves for the LCA for spell scribing.

 

[Leif]

At the LCA

Librarian Richard Whitewash greets Tau as he enters the library, "Ahh, Young Arcanist Dusksprocket! May I assist you in any way?"
