[QUOTE="BoldItalic, post: 7182104, member: 6777052"] [COLOR=blue]It was night when they teleported suddenly into the village of Norton Fitzwarren ... "There should be an inn around here somewhere," suggested Tippy, putting up a [I]Light[/I] cantrip. "Albert, have a scout around, there's a good fellow." "HORSEMEN!" A troop of uniformed guards came riding swiftly towards them down the road, bearing torches to light their way. Tippy surprised the others by standing directly in their path. "?" thought Tasha. But Tippy raised his hand and shouted "Ho! Southborough!" in a loud clear voice, for he had recognised their pennons. The guards clattered to a halt and the captain saluted. "Sir Theodore!" he called out in surprise, "We thought you were long lost, eaten by dragons!" "Not so, as you see. What news?" "The lady Terri is missing, believed abducted. Search parties are being sent across the land. We follow the trail of the Duke's coach, taken from the coach house last night. And of you?" "I am bound for Southborough with these, my companions in battle." Tippy replied. Then he thought suddenly of the Eagle statuette that he carried, and the voice of Terri House-Tranger that it contained. "I may hold a clue from the lady's past - I must see the duke urgently," he continued. "Can you lend me your fastest horse?" "Private Jones," called the captain to one of his riders, "Dismount and give Sir Theodore your horse. Make your way home on foot. We must press on if we are to catch up with the coach." As Tippy rode hurriedly away, Tasha called out "What about us?" "Go with Jones to Southborough Castle. I'll see you there in two days," called Tippy over his shoulder. "Use the oyster shells!" With that, he was gone like the wind and they watched as the magical light from his cantrip faded into the distance. "I'm Private Jones," said Private Jones. "But you can call me Jones. Everyone does. Nice halberd. Is that the Mk7 with the leather binding and the slide-out blade upgrade? My dad had one of those." "Yes," admitted Tasha, quite impressed with Jones's geekish knowledge. "But it also summons dragons." "Cool! What was that your boss said about oyster shells?" Albert explained, then added "We were going to look for an inn. D'you know if there's one around here?" "Sure.
