Age of Worms: Act I - The Whispering Cairn

[hippocrachus]

"We are at the garrison. The archer and young man with the staff sought out some ranger cabin in the woods," Chryse says conversationally as he checks Shadow's wounds with a quick sweep of his eyes. "You will make a full recovery; I am sure of it," he says more to himself than to Shadow.
"I should think the guards here will maintain a strict code of conduct when dealing with your equipment, Shadow," he continues, fading back to reality, "they are knights afterall."

Samuel:[sblock]"I will fetch one of the workers to bring a tub and water for you sir. While the soldiers normally use the washing area, it would not be fitting for a guest to do so."

While the guard does not appear nervous, it is pretty obvious that he is not used to dealing with civilians on a day to day basis.[/sblock]

Chryse and Shadow:[sblock]The soft click of the nurse's shoes, as well as the sound of the wooden wheeled cart on the stone tiles announced her presence easily to you both before she came into view through the canvas cloth.

A pair of gray breeches, white shirt, and a gray cloak sit on top of the cart and Shadow's eyes quickly take in the rest of his gear on the bottom tray which forms the bottom of the cart.

"As promised Master Shadow, a change of clothes as well as your things. You are both welcomed to stay in the guest quarters tonight if you wish, but if you wish to return to Diamond Lake, I can fetch one of the guards to escort you out. I will be at my desk if you two need any further assistance."

Stepping away from you both, Chryse watches as she walks down to a simple desk at the other side of the room and takes a seat, busy writing in the thick book at her desk once she sits down.[/sblock]

As Shadow dresses himself, Chryse walks over to the nurse he presumes is logging Shadow's recovery to ask her about the others.
"We traveled with Jorun Trask and another younger man by name of Samuel. Where might we find them?"

 

[Verbatim]

Chryse:[sblock]Looking up from her book, the older nurse smiles when you speak to her and she quickly stands when she speaks.

"I know that Sergeant Trask has his quarters with the other soldiers, and your friend has been escorted to one of the guest quarters. There are only four rooms that are reserved for visitors to the garrison, and if you and Master Shadow wish to stay here for the night, I am sure you will be given one of those rooms."[/sblock]

"Many thanks," he says to the healing attendant before returning to see what Shadow would like to do.

 

[Elocin]

"Many thanks," he says to the healing attendant before returning to see what Shadow would like to do.

"Well I suggest we go looking for our friends and then we might as well stay here the night and go investigate this cairn tomorrow morning."

 

[hippocrachus]

Chryse nods in agreement and walks with Shadow to get assistance in finding Samuel.
So eager to have an adventure... It is good you have put them in my care, Apollo.

[SBLOCK]“Well I shall have to convince them otherwise then!” Orin replies irritated that his blood oath will not be accepted by all, “Nogweir...was he mentor to Venelle or was there some other relationship between them?”[/SBLOCK]

Chryse and Shadow:[sblock]As the two of you voice your intentions on finding Samuel, the nurse escorts you out of the infirmary area and down a series of hallways to the guest quarters. A lone sentry stands beside one of the doors, and while his sword is bound in a peace knot, his hand does not stray far from the bindings as the nurse approaches with you both.

"Master Chryse and Master Samuel are the guests of Sergeant Trask, as well as a companion of Master Samuel. They have decided to accept Father Velias' offer of rest for the evening before departing at in the morrow."

Turning to face you both, the older nurse smiles for a moment before speaking.

"May you both walk in the Light and be kept safe from those who walk in the shadows."

Looking down for a moment, the older women's cheek blush for a moment.

"No offense to you Master Shadow, but perhaps a fine lad like yourself could find a more fitting name. I will make sure the cooks know to send a meal to you tonight."

Heading back the way she came, the nurse leaves you both in the company of the guard who opens up two doors for you. The rooms are a spartan 8x8 square with a simple bed, dresser, shaving kit, wash basin, and chamber pot. As you are both examining the quarters, the guard clears his throat to get your attention before speaking.

"Will you both be needing me to call for a hot bath for you? Your friend Samuel requested one, and if you would like one, I can get one brought to you."[/sblock]
