[QUOTE="Systole, post: 6397498, member: 93930"] Harry shakes his head. [COLOR="#FF8C00"]"I'm afraid there's no way they'd ever sit down in each other's company, miss. I expect they'd both expect a double-cross, and I expect they might both be right. Even if there weren't a double-cross, then you've still have a lot of armed men standing around in the company of other armed men, with a lot of bad blood between them. I think there'd be an incident, if you get my meaning."[/COLOR] After breakfast, Gemma and the other fishermen bid you farewell. You see Davel as well, and while he still looks pale and drawn, he looks better than the day before. He manages a weak wave as you depart. Harry leads you across town to a blocky building that reminds you of a fortress. A pair of armed guards stand outside, and quickly recognize you and bid you enter. The smell inside is a funk of spilled ale, spilled blood, and unwashed bodies. Down side corridors, you can hear shouts as late risers are roughly awoken and told to get down to the main hall immediately. Very quickly you find yourself in what can only be the central floor of the main hall. It's built half like a council chamber, and half like an arena. Where you stand, the dark, grimy wood has been slashed with swords and axes, battered with maces and warhammers, and stained with blood and other fluids. Around you, the benches are filling with all manner of thugs and other scum, and a few servant women come to offer you chairs and refreshments.
