Constables of the 14th Ward Part 2

[Leif]

Carolton Drueglefish -- To Pleasant Ford

Carolton Drueglefish continues to lead the Constables to the second village down the road, Pleasant Ford, where the sheriff is to be found. The first village is just about two-and-a-half miles outside Lauralie Summerhome. It is an extremely tiny wide spot in the road called simply Planting. It is, evidently, the center in the immediate area of agricultural activity. For its small population, Planting seems to have a large number of buildings. The constables soon discover that these are silos, grain bins, seed storage buildings, and equpment sheds for storing farming implements that belong to the farmers who live in Lauralie Summerhome. Luckily, none of the Constables blinks in Planting, so no one misses it altogether. Then, as quickly as they enter the village, they leave, and proceed toward Pleasant Ford.

Drueglefish says, "Keep up now, that's it, step lively, we're almost there."

post #411 now contains an answer to Daruis's last question. My apologies for not seeing the question earlier.

OOC: Funny that #411 would turn out to be an informational post.

Sorry please forgive, haven't been sleeping much as we have a new puppy at home. Sleep deprivation always makes me silly.

Brae continues walking, using his quarterstaff as a walking stick, and relatively used to lots of travel in his service to Meda.

Is that your only excuse??

Alarion of Tovarre

The young knight continues to walk with his companions, closely followed by Bayard. "Know you how many armsmen the sheriff has at his disposal, master Druegelfish?"

"That I cannot say, Sir Knight. I would expect 3-5 regular deputies, and he may be able to raise some additional troops from among the citizens for emergencies, but I wouldn't imagine that these would be worth very much."

Alarion

The knight from Tovarre smiles at the news. "There is a silver lining in this situation, then, my friends. For they should then welcome our assistance rather than feel slighted."

Ederaul Mamier

The half-elf monk walks briskly along with his fellow constables. He has not seen this area in some time, so he renews his acquaintance with the surroundings outside the city walls.

OOC: Sorry I've been sidelined by my inability to consistently accesses the boards compounded by being really busy.

The Constables find themselves in the little village of Pleasant Ford which is quite ah pleasant. The villiage is obviously named for a gentle crossing of a small river. From the looks of the buildings' thick walls, high doors and placement up slope you'd venture a guess that the river is prone to be less pleasant at other times of the year. The local tavern is the Hops and Rye. A blacksmith specializing in farm implements, a horse lot, a cobbler, a general goods store again mostly catering to farmers' needs, a seed store and various other agriculture related businesses round out the village. A temple to Meda and the Sheriff's station can be found on the village square. The station is a small, but stout and apparently well maintained little building.

The knight takes a look around the small village, then walks up beside Carolton as they head towards the Sheriff's station.
