Arcanis: The Spear of the Lohgin

Gideon finds an old kettle to stick the rat in. It should serve until Visha can get it somewhere more comfortable.

The investigation of the cellar complete, your group heads back upstairs. Everyone regroups in the kitchen to breath the (relatively) fresh air and knock the dust off themselves. As you are taking this short break, you hear the sounds of movement in the foyer, and a voice calls out "Hello in the house! Who's there?"
 

Gideon will enter the Foyer. "What buisness have you here? This building is under plague restrictions. Turn and leave right now." The holy knight will put his hand on his sword but not pull it out.
 

Standing in the doorway is a somewhat portly, middle aged man with thinning grey hair. He is better-than-average clothes, such as those worn by a merchant or squire. A few feet behind him are three town guards.

The man raises an eyebrow upon hearing Gideon's words. "Yes, I could ask you the same question- my name is Willem Brecht. I ordered the house sealed, along with those others tainted by the plague. As the town guildmaster I have been... co-ordinating things since Sir Lohgin died."

Brecht takes a few steps inside, and glares back at his men, who hesitantly advance toward the doorway.

"Now, if you would sir, perhaps you can explain to me who you are and why you've forced your way in here?"
 

OOC: I have a question, did the Duke give us any special kind of identifying paper or badge or anything like that so that his people can know whom we work for?

"Now, if you would sir, perhaps you can explain to me who you are and why you've forced your way in here?"

"We have been sent by the Duke of this area." Visha says, appearing behind Gideon. "I suggest you cooperate with us, or you will suffer the Duke's wrath."

"We are here to search for the plague's origin." Visha then says. "I am Visha... you may have heard of me. I am a bounty hunter. At the moment, however, I am working for the Duke in this search for the source of the plague."
 

Cadwyn is quite taken back at this statement of Visha's. No one knows how powerful this man is or could be, and this one just threatened him out of the blue in the Duke's name? :eek:

"Ahem, er... ah... within time there can be the softening of the rock by the force of the water upon it. Then the tree of the ages is sure to take root and to grow.

"Good sir, we were sent by the Duke to investigate the plague that had brought this grand town low. We entered this manor to investigate the source of the plague and had found some shipments in the cellar that had been infested by infected rats. I humbly ask for information that you might know of as to the origins of the shipments and the other routes the shipments take so that we may put an end to this ravager of life."

And with that he casts a quick and wary glance at Visha, but finishes it before there can be any notice of it.
 

"I am Lord Gideon De Angeles. Squire Brecht, My companins speak true if somewhat out of turn. We are indeed sent by the Duke to investigate the plague. I am a holy Knight of Hurrian and as such have his grace to pass with out injury from illness. My companions will have Hurrians healing touch if they need it." Gideon relaxes and stands down. "It was I who convinced Sir. Gregor to allow us entry to conduct our investigation."
 

(OOC As agents of the Duke you would have offical seals and a letter and whatnot. I probably should have mentioned that at the beginning, sorry.)

Master Brecht listens to the groups explainations, seemingly satisfied. He then bows and says, "I see. Then I must thank you for your help in this matter, and for the Duke's attention to our plight. I wished merely to see who was disturbing Sir Lohgin's house."

Brecht straightens himself upright. "If there is anything you need of us, please let me know. I can be found either at home, or at my shop at the marketplace."

"We'll leave you now to your task. Also, Gregor's watch is over, you may wish to relieve him if you no longer need his assistance."

Providing that the group has no further questions, Brecht turns and leaves the manor.
