[QUOTE="jkason, post: 5844310, member: 2710"] [sblock=ooc]Playing a bit with the order of things for what I think will be better flow.[/sblock] Rylidak stumbles a moment at Kanli's introduction. Her expression is a mix of flattered embarrassment and genuine confusion. [color=red]"I ... well met, Kanli,"[/color] she finally says, then looks to the others, adding a bemused, [color=red]"Is he putting me on?"[/color] She shakes her head and raises her hand to stop any answer. Even as the half-orc Crow is trying to sort out how she should take Kanli's pronouncements, she catches Tyrien's string of inquiry, and her amused confusion falls away. She responds with a far more official face as she responds, [color=red]"At the moment, we're taking a very small rest after a very long morning of looking for our dead,"[/color] she says a bit tersely. Rylidak steps aside and gestures for the Crows gathered to clear the line of sight. Sure enough, benches under the tent have three human-sized forms covered with tarps. [color=red]"We still haven't found Cecili -- er, Commander Syrianna."[/color] she says. The rain makes it hard to tell, but the hardened half-orc definitely seems to show signs of grief at the mention of the name. Or perhaps it's just exhaustion, if this group has been digging for bodies since the crack of dawn. The Crow shakes her head again, clearing it, and addresses the group. [color=red]"I got next to nothing on what this thing looks like, but what we do know we got from old Garrett."[/color] she gestures to where two Crows stand guard with an agitated, elderly dwarf. The guards bring him to Rylidak, who nods toward the party. [color=red]"Garrett here is the one called the Crows in the first place. Garrett, you wanted action from the mayor? Here it is. You tell these folk what you told me, yeah?"[/color] Garrett's eyes widen a bit as he takes in the party, but then he launches directly into his tale, speaking quickly from a mix of what seems to be fear and excitement: [color=yellow]“So, the Sandal's always up 'fore the sun. Stalls all set up at least two hours afore there's any light. Only today, was alla sudden a terrible something come crashing out of Marshan’s house."[/color] Here he points into the alley. [color=yellow]"Awful lot of screams, whole house shook like it were bein' crushed by big hand or foot. I ran for the watch, but by the time we come back, was all quiet.
