Message: <blockquote data-quote="airwalkrr" data-source="post: 3917980" data-attributes="member: 12460">The guard atop the battlements lets out a holler and shortly the door below is unbarred and opened. A similarly garbed man answers the door to allow Mulnock and Aredal inside, politely asking the others to stay outside. He then closes the door behind him.OOC: I will carry on the conversation between Mulnock, Aredal, and Burne in sblocks and call them Alpha group. I will refer to the others as Beta group if you wish to do other things in town in the meantime.[sblock=Alpha]Flanking the inner portal are two fireplaces, where you can see a pair of servants are currently poaching eggs and frying ham. This hallway looks to be capable of entertaining a fair amount of guests as it is at least 40 feet in diameter. There is a table in a curved alcove at the far back wall and there also appear to be trestle tables that could be extended down and across the room when the occasion demands. Several comfortable chairs are placed along the walls, and the walls themselves are hung with tapestries and decorated with shields, arms, and hunting trophies. Ramps curving upwards and downwards lead to other levels. Only the single guard is on duty here, but he says that Rufus and Burne have been informed of your presence and will be down shortly.After a few minutes of patient waiting, you hear footsteps upon the stairs leading to higher levels of the tower. Two men descend. The first, a stern-looking man of about 30 years with a well-kempt full beard and straight, dark hair that falls just below his ears, carries an axe at his side and wears chainmail. He has the livery colors of blue and gold with a harvester's sheaf in white. The man following after him is a bit younger and very graceful. He wears fuschia-dyed robes with yellow tassels and carries an load of scrolls in his left arm. The two sit down at the table in the curved alcove, the robed man taking the head, the armed man sitting just to his side. The robed man looks up to you with a smile and motions for you to come sit at the table with him while servants pull up chairs and begin delivering the eggs and ham to the table, along with some bread and wine.Can I offer you something to drink? the robed man asks pleasantly, I do beg your pardon. We were just about to sit down to breakfast. I do hope you don't mind. I am Burne, and this is my associate, Rufus. We are in charge of administrative affairs of the town. Rufus handles law-enforcement while I handle the more delicate matters of public policy. Oh, um, I suppose it would be rude to eat in front of you. Are any of you hungry?[/sblock]</blockquote>
