Halfway through Lyrique's telling of the tale one of the brutish orc-blooded Crimson Guard walks in with a tray filled with fresh and steaming miniature loaves of bread. Carefully balanced in the center is a half dozen cups of some thick meaty stew. The half-orc sets it on the table over the map. Palasant gestures for everyone to eat while Lyrique continues his tale."That's quite a story," Palasant says, sounding genuinely impressed. "With Rallyn's addition I think that answers all my questions about what happened."It's amazing with all this combat ... the orcs invading, the giants, there's only been about ten deaths -- eleven now that I've learned about Boromin. You - all of you - have done extremely well. "As to your question about the defenders, that's something I know very little about, just the common stuff anyone knows of the legends of Xargon. I mean, I'm from the far south, so he's just a boogeyman there. Some of the candidates I went to school with from the north used to talk about Xargon in a different light. I suppose he was real, but who knows what the real character was like, all twisted by myth over two-thousand years."Speaking of the book. Who has it?"* * * * *The halfling dismounts neatly from his wardog. "I don't mean to disturb your meditations, I was just concerned about your well-being. You must've been through quite a lot." Marin sidles a little closer to the tree, staring intently at Sildarin for a moment. He smiles and says, "Ah well, you seem ok, I'll be on my way unless you need help with something?"As he asks, Marin remounts his steed and looks as if he's ready to ride away.* * * * *Travellios arrives at the library. It's nestled in the center of the plateau of the Academy and the wind is relatively calm. The door that was burned earlier has been patched. Inside, it's calm and quite, only a few heatless magical flames shine and illuminate the interior. The entire library appears to have been ransacked. Every book has been knocked out of it's shelving and left in a disheveled heap upon the floor. Several thousand tomes lie scattered.* * * * * Everyone not mentioned - pipe up, I'm not ignoring your actions on purpose. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
