Inside the noise has calmed a little since Andrec and Mikara were last here, the three men that had made so much noise before seem to be soundly asleep on their makeshift cots. The sound of the sleeping victim's snores and the quiet whispers of the nurses watching over them echo oddly around the vaulted ceilings of the Grand Nave.It doesn't take long for the nurses to notice you and two of them rush up to take the twins and place them onto two small cots that have been prepared for them. A third nurse walks quickly to the vestry and returns with the priest you met earlier."Here, I have transcribed my notes for you." The cleric holds out a scroll of parchment to Mikara."I forgot to tell you my name before, my apologies I've been quite busy recently and my manners have been slipping. I'm Brother Pol, the Chapel's apothecary.Is there anything else I could help you with?"[sblock=P-Perception 18]One of the nurses on the far side of the Nave has her hood up and seems to be covertly watching your group trying not to be noticed.[/sblock] [sblock=Brother Pol's Notes]First of Merkari, Windsday, Rising Seventh Bell (Dawn).Maesters Peter Wordsworth and Caultus Writ were brought to us from the Great Library where they both have quarters.Symptoms ~ Complete loss of mental faculties including rudimentary speech, Infant-like state.
