[QUOTE="Systole, post: 5900723, member: 93930"] It’s a fine day in Venza, and the sunshine even manages to penetrate the gloom and squalor of the Planks District. Indeed, the weather is so perfect that the many of the inhabitants have come outside to sit in the warm light of early afternoon and chat with their neighbors. Even the street children are too busy enjoying games of tag and jump-rope to harass passers-by for spare change. The Lower Guild seems subtly different than you remember. The Guildhouse was always a sort of dingy building with a palisade that was half-falling down, and the yard was infested by off-duty guards lounging around, gambling and smoking. Many of them were out-of-shape and unkempt, with tarnished weaponry. Over the past few years, Guildmaster Furros has made an effort to bring the Lower Guild into mainstream Venzan society, but aside from a few parties and bazaars where the Lower Guild’s handful of elite troops were present for novelty value, he’s been unsuccessful. However, there’s a definite, positive change in the air now. The Guildhouse and its grounds seem cleaner, and there’s a work crew patching the palisade wall. And while there are still a few of the old guard lounging around and looking seedy, they're outnumbered by several groups of young recruits training in the yard – some of it is weapons training, but the majority of it appears to be strengthening exercises and aerobics. In a corner of the yard, a half dozen long tables have been set up, and a cook stirs a huge cauldron full of a stew that doesn’t exactly smell delicious, but at the very least smells quite hearty. Asking for Ben gets you escorted inside to an office that literally looks as if it was converted from a broom closet. The room barely has enough space for a small desk and a couple for chairs that look like they were stolen from an elementary school. The desk faces the door, but it’s pressed up against one wall on one side, and there’s barely eighteen inches of clearance on the other. Stacks of books cover most of the horizontal surface of the desk – there’s no room in the office for a bookshelf. The only decoration is a symbol of Serroth hangs on the wall. Ben is reading a book, but rises as you enter. [COLOR=royalblue]“Lady e’Kiernan, so good to see you again. And a pleasure to meet you, sir,”[/COLOR] he says to Fury, extending a hand. He pauses, obviously trying to work out who Fury is and what he’s doing here. And now that Ben is standing and you can get a good look at him, you can see the young man is practically dead on his feet from exhaustion. Even so, there’s a slight satisfaction in his smile as he watches the bustle of activity in the corridor behind you. [IMG]http://i1257.photobucket.com/albums/ii513/pnthffr/Ben_150.jpg[/IMG] .
