Constables of the 14th Ward Part 2

[jkason]

Moru Sen, human conjurer

Moru is quite surprised to see a familiar face present, as well: Professor Haswan Berfubble is seated on the ground not far from the Ranger, his own line in the same, still pool.

Moru raises an eyebrow. "I suppose I shouldn't be surprised to see the professor near some water," he says, "But it does seem odd that he'd be catching fish so ... mundanely. He's a master of water and its elementals; I should think he could just cal on them to deliver up all the fish he might want.

"Still, it does give us a good 'excuse' to be here," Moru says with a grin. He waves, then, calling out to the professor, seeming not to notice the ranger as he approaches his old mentor.

Moru does notice that Professor Berfubble does not have a fishing pole, and that, moments after the constables arrive within sight of the pair, there is a disturbance in the water. Professor Berfubble says, "Now just settle down, Half-Pint, don't be disturbing the fish while our friend Carolton is playing Ranger. I just let you in there so you could play a bit and see some more of the world. If you keep misbehaving, I'll put you right back in the bottle and keep you there for.......well, for longer that you would like!"

When Moru calls out to Professor Berfubble, both the Professor and Carolton Drueglefish immediately put their fingers to their lips and say, "Shhhhh!!!!"

 

[Lou]

Raul

Seeing that Moru calls to one as 'professor,' Raul will let him do the talking. Raul will hang back and scout the party's side of the valley.

Raul

Raul catches sight of a young black-tailed deer. It has evidently been in a serious battle this year, because it's antlers have 3 points, and Raul can see where the fourth one was broken off.

 

[Rhun]

Brae smiles widely and moves to sit on the grass near the pool, clearly enjoying being outdoors in the nice weather. "So, how is the fishing?" he questions, being sure to keep his voice low.

 

[Leif]

Carolton Drueglefish

Drueglefish smiles at Brae in recognition of the deference shown to his fishing. "Ahhhh, so-so I guess. I was hoping to finally get that monter that I've been trying to land for the last few years, but he's a canny devil! I suspect that he has outsmarted me yet again. Oh, well, no matter, there will be other days." Drueglefish looks intently at your bronze badge. "To what to I owe this unprecedented attention from the constabulary of Lauralie Summerhome? Or have you gents taken up a sideline as game wardens?" He winks at Brae.

 

[Rhun]

"No," answers Brae with a shake of his head, still smiling. "I'm afraid we are here on official business, unfortunately. We've been investigating some stolen weapon shipments, and your name keeps coming up as the person we should be talking too. So, here we are."

 

[xedr]

Darius settles himself on the grass next to Drueglefish on the opposite side from Brae. [highlight]"What can you tell us about the Blue Basilisk's stolen weapons shipments?"[/highlight] he asks softly.

 

[Helfdan]

Alarion remains quiet, keeping a watchful eye for anyone else approaching.

 

[Leif]

Carolton Drueglefish

"I've told them and told them and told them that they need to strengthen the guards with their shipments, but they just don't seem to listen. There is a band of creatures, mostly orcs -- at least one of them seems to be a ranger of no mean skill, too, who have been harassing many trade shipments leaving the city. They don't seem to do any lasting, serious damage to the shipments, with the exception of those carrying Blue Basilisk goods. I've reported this to the proper authorities, but no action has been taken yet as far as I can tell. I don't have many good contacts in the city itself, so I'm not even certain that my warnings have reached the right ears."
