di Senzio's Tournement: Merchant Avenue [El Jefe judging]

Ray says we can help with something are there any effects to carry gear at least let me open the door for you mighty giants or something...

<laughing a little too loudly>

Forgive the humor in this time of uncertain outcomes for the wounded, sometimes laughter is good for the soul...

Ocatvio and Semabin grabd the woudned man, and carry it up to the warehouse where the wounded are gather. The group enter an half-empty warehouse where crate and barrel are scattered. Many have been push and some blanket have been put on the ground. Many men are on the ground, and two men are moving from men to men, taking care of them. As Semabin and Octavio put teh man on the floor, one of the healer approach you and look at the man. "It seems you've done a good job with that men. His leg is badly hurt and his burns cover a good part of his body, but he will recover. We will make sure he is carried to the temple of Hyrag once the fire is under control."

At that moment, Frenthon enter the warehouse and come to see the healer. "It is under control. We have just to wait the coal's warehouse finish to burn and to continue to put water on the walls of the surrouding building to keep them cool enough not to burn, but it should not spread anymore. I think we have to continue for a few hours to carry buckets, after that, we will just need to wait for the coal to burn out. The flow of wounded should slow down now. You are ok?"

"We could have help. We are only two. We cannot even go around to see the people who hasn't been carried here."

"We have sent messenger to all temple of the city. You should have support soon, and we will soon start to carry them to the Temple of Hyrag. They have many beds still unoccupied. We will see if other temples cannot accpet a few of them."

The group helps the people. During another three hours, the fire burns and threaten the other building surrounding the inferno. During that time, a few more wounded continu to come to the warehouse, but mainly helper who have minor burns as they came too near the fire, others who have inhalated too much smoked and need to rest and breath more fresh air, or people that are exhausted under the continuous effort made to carry the heavy buckets.

After three hours, a perimeters is made, and the watchmen stay into the perimeters, and await, looking at the burning warehouse. The worst have not happen, the fire have been controlled. Only two persons have died in the coal warehouse, two workers who had been surprise by the fire and had tried to extinguish it before it start to spread...

The sun start to comes down, but the red sun dissapear behind some cloud at the horizon. Many who look at it have a thought... if only the could come this way and help the fire to die more quickly. But if it is the case, it won't be before many hours.

The group help the healers to carry the wounded that couldn't be healed on place. They do many times the way between the fire and the temple of Hyrag. A few more bed must be improvised in the large room of the temple where the sicks and the wounded are gathered, and the few private room are shared. The followers of Hyrag thanks you and tells you they have seen worst time and the people will quickly get out of here.

All returns to the Red Dragon inn to wash themselves and change clothings and clean the one they had on them. A few decide to relax, or to come back to the common room and chat, others go to the Winged Flute, to listen to the performance.

Tonight, the performance are correct. The first performer tells a story of a famous hero of Earling. He tells his story and his great feats. He also have created a short act, a monologue, where he become the hero of his story, and telling the last war that hero has fought, the one who he has found death. The second performer come on a more ligther note. He play some lute. The first is a solo, where the sound of the lute is pure. The second performance he offer, he adds his voice, and with his feet, add some percussion. The last performer offer two dances, gracious and fluid, but lacking something to impress the crowd.

As the people come back to the Red Dragon Inn, the clouds have arrived over the city, and a few drops start to pour down. The streets are dark as the moon can't pirce the clouds. As they arrive at the Inn, they are completly wet, as the rain is now an heavy one. Before entering teh Inn, they see a red glow coming from the buring ruins of the coal's warehouse... Thanks to Halor, the rain will extenguish the fire...

[SBLOCK=OOC]Day 3 soon...[/SBLOCK]

Cepheus walks around the Temple of Hyrage and arrive directly on the Merchant Avenue. On his right, he can see a white column of smoke. the rumors tells it is the remaining fires of a coal warehouse that have been burning all the night. The watchmen have done a great job, and many citizen has come to help, some even risking there life.

He looks at streets, and spots the sign of Stonebender's shop. He walks up to there and see two young men working in the forge, both seems to works on horseshoes.

Cepheus approaches the two working in the shop. I am seeking Master Stonebender, do you know where I can find him or when he will be back?

One of the man look at the gnome. "Master Stonebender is presently at the Craft contest. He is in the Arena and cannot be disturb as long as he is there. But you can always talk with his first apprentice. Arami is in the back forge." he tells, pointing at the arch in the back.

Cepheus thanks the man for pointing him to the first apprentice and thinks to himself, the first apprentice well lets see what he has to say. I wonder how good he is.

Cepheus walks to the indicated area and asks Arami the first apprentice, is this you? A pleasure to meet you. I am Cepheus Beren Boomhill and wish to inquire about apprenticeship and use of the forge. I was given Master Stonebender's name at the guild hall.

"You need a forge?" The first apprentice looks at Cepheus for a moment. "Fine. I don't know your skills, but that foge can accept up to four worker and I am alone, so there is place for you. but if you do something I consider dangerous for our equipement, I will ask to leave. And you,ll have to pay you time at the forge too. That seems fine?"

[SBLOCK=OOC]Consider the money asked be part of your raw material cost...[/SBLOCK]

"But for apprenticeship, you'll have to ask Stonebender personally. He comes back here every night before taking some rest, so you might talk to him later. Anyway, I think he will need one soon." tells Arami.
