[QUOTE="Brimshack, post: 4231058, member: 34694"] “So, I am told.” Lord Methgar looked a little bit like a disappointed father. I guess, he wasn’t exactly pleased to learn that we had just brought unwanted conflict on ourselves as well as him. Still, he wasn’t entirely angry, at least I didn’t think so. But I don’t think that Methie is moving after all. It seems like we just get brought into the bare room these days. His place of residence isn't changing at all. I looked at Carla. ...Of course. Well anyway, the conversation continued a bit. We told him our reasons for attacking the brothel, and he asked a few questions about Louie. We answered Methie as honestly as we could, which for most of us anyway was pretty darned honest. After thinking on it a moment, Methie just nodded his head. “I thank you for telling me of this.” He pursed his lips a moment and continued, “There are some other things you should know. A great battle is about to take place on the plains out to the Northeast. Several peoples have arrayed themselves to stop the army coming south from the mountains. The ones who dwell on the plains will be trying to stop them, as will a faction of orcs, groups of kobalds and lizardmen, some strange creatures from the meadows south of the forest. And also those that now rule the elven forest, whoever that is.” I took great strength from these words. Across the room, August caught my eye. We both smiled. Perhaps... And then Methie caught my eye. Shaking his head and looking right at me, “There is little hope these factions will be able to stop them.” Seeing disbelief, he continued; “It is a very powerful army.” And hope left the room. “Most of the city does not know of this coming war. But when the other factions fail, the mountain army is expected to come here next.” It was early evening by this time, and I grew very tired. It had been a log day, one which had begun with a great victory. But Methie was not on the happy wagon today, not with this little speech, and it was beginning to take away our good spirits. An awkward silence filled the room. For a time, no-one knew what to say about much of anything. We just stood in silence. “What will you do now?” Methie began searching through a small bag hanging from his belt. “We thought we might look into the Harbour Master’s business.” Bob rarely spoke. Why this time, I wondered? “Or maybe, try to handle this business with Gable One-Eye.” Michael spoke up with Tom nodding beside him. “Do you know why he is trying to kill you?” Methie appeared happy to change the subject for a moment. “That’s what we were looking to find out.” Tom continued almost as if he were finishing Michael’s sentence. It was Michael's turn to nod in agreement. “I think either of those plans would be worth pursuing. Do not forget though, we must learn what it is that the Slolem left behind.” And with that, Lord Methgar handed us a key to a private home and instructions for getting there. He said that we could stay in there for a month without charge, and then we would begin paying a small rent in subsequent months. ...assuming of course, everyone was still alive long enough for this to become a concern. We left Methgar’s place and returned to the Inn where we gathered our stuff and then moved to the new residence. Our new home was a nicely furnished little two story house. A nice kitchen lay on the bottom floor and a common dining area as well as a sort of study. The top floor consisted of sleeping quarters. There was a generous fireplace, cutlery, something akin to china, and even a book or two on the mostly empty shelves. I found myself thinking I could live here. And I wondered what Robin from back home would have thought? Is this the sort of place we could have built for ourselves? Thoughts of children playing by the fire lasted but a moment. And then they were chased away by visions of foul beasts coming through the door... Still it was a warm place, and one that might prove safe, if only for a short while. We slept hard that night, at least I know I did. [/QUOTE]
