Message: <blockquote data-quote="HolyMan" data-source="post: 5179313" data-attributes="member: 84167">Party taking the Elf Back... Robert keeps the pace lesiurely and stays a little ways ahead of Claude and Marko. He carries the rest of the elf's gear in a sack tied to his pommel and the dagger tucked under his belt. As you move again out of the villiage and onto the road you followed that morning he turns and says, "If it's ok with you mi'lord, I believe we should drop him off about two or three miles from their camp." And making his statement he turns back to watching the trees and road. While Marko and Claude converse the elf sits atop Tobias quietly almost ridgidly, like a prison going to execution. Every now and then he shoots a look to Claude and his bow, his eyes filled with hate. *********************************************** The group going to the Library... Vance takes all of what the companions say with interest and nods to Onesimus and Kase to hurry to the armory. Troting the two warriors rush ahead of the group over the bridge to the manor.  "Lord Kyras? You were speaking to your half-sister? That is good everyone needs to bond with their family, and strong ties make the best rope, or some such." Vance says walking along Lora on one side and Jareth on the other. Trinham and Brend bringing up the rear like servants. The group crosses the narrow bridge and start towards the southwest building instead of going through the main keep doors. "Wizen, maybe you should go to my brother and tell him the news and that I am getting advice from Skazul. Remind him that Harkon's defense is mine to bear and I will not fail. I will not be late for dinner or another session with him this evening. Oh and put the men-at-arms to rotating watches tonight so that they all may get some sleep before the morning." Saluting Brend marches off through the main keep doors towards the manor. His body language screaming that he would rather chase down the hydra than go give the baron that simple message. Leading everyone to the door to the square three story building, Vance opens the sturdy wooden door and gestures for everyone to enter. "Mi'lady, mi'lord." he says to Lora and Jareth before cutting in fron of Trinham and entering before him. "Leave the cat outside." he says to Trinham. ************************************************ ...meanwhile in the three story building. Lurik slams yet another book shut, forgetting the last time, and kicking up another cloud of dusty. "Ah-choo!" he sneezes almost automatically, causing the crow perched on a branch, growing out of a pot,that is sitting on a tall bookcase to ruffle it's feathers and call back out to the young man. "CAW! CAW!" it says accusingly.  An old man sitting in an armchair books stacked up passed his head on all sides of him, looks up and shakes his head. He removes the pipe from between his lips and mumbles, "Hrmph, need to let that darn bird in. Always crying at the windows." He places the book he was reading on top of a stack and fishes around at his feet for another. Lurik studied the rumpled old man for a minute before taking the book he was trying to read back to the stack where he had got it. The oldmans robe looked slept in his beard could use a combing and how did he keep track of anything in here, there was at least two-hundred or more books and manuscripts and scrolls all up and down one wall. But Skazul had said if Lurik wantd access to any of them he had to put them back excatly where and how (meaning facing the same way, even if that meant upsidedown) he had found them. Already he had found that Skazul meant what he said and the old mages grasp of magic hadn't faltered over the years. But the book on magically theroy should go with the stack of arcane lore Lurik had found not back with a bunch of cookbooks, shouldn't it? Not worrying why he set the tome (Fredon's Divine Light and the Magic Within) back with an assortment of poems, love stories, and other rubbish. At least the tome was rubbish as far as Lurik was concered, maybe that was how he catorgerized things. Just as he was about to ask Skazul a question, Lurik hears the door open. Odd for it wasn't time for an evening meal to be brought. And doubly surprising is the young attractive girl who comes in with a... 10 foot polearm?? Lurik hardly notices the others moving in behind her as he keeps an eye on the huge weapon. </blockquote>
