Constables of the 14th Ward Part 2

[Leif]

[sblock=Response to Leif post 267]
I just figured since Brae has only recently been attached to the constables from the church, he might need to ask his companions a few question re: protocol. [/sblock]

[sblock=Brae/Rhun]You're certainly welcome to do so. Truthfully, you have already been briefed on these procedures, but it might be advisable for you, the "new guy" as you say, to defer to the older hands in the Ward. Or, then again, they might just see that as an attempt to "suck-up" to them! With PCs, who can say, really? [/sblock]

 

[Fenris]

SoulFetter returns Raul's whisper, his deep bass voice surprisingly quiet considering his ability to make himself heard across a battlefield when necessary.

"Well, we've learned that Drueglefish is a little on the prickly side, that Jonas isn't the most tactful of our comrades, that Moru wasn't paying attention in his 'Elemental Summoning' class, that the water elemental in the 13th was likely not summoned by ordinary means and may actually have swum over here, and that the Moonies and the orcs raiding the BB caravans are likely not the same group - that, in fact, the raiders are possibly hindering the efforts of the Moonies to move in."

Jonas starts then kicks Soulfetter before giving him a grin and a wink. Soulfetter knew Jonas could hear Bocephus wheedeling two wards away.

Jonas turns to Brae, "Well why don't we ask our master ranger here for his advice."

"Is is safe to visit this mill during the daytime? Just so we know where it is for later, and don;t have to disturb your fishing again?" he asks Druglefish.

 

[Scotley]

Druglefish shurgs, "Well the fish don't seem to be disturbing my fishing today anyway. The Harcort's Mill is a pretty good stroll from here. I don't know if you city boys are used to covering the kind of ground I cover in a day." He sets aside the pole. "Harcort's has been abandoned for some years now, ever since ole lady Harcort went mad. She didn't have any surviving children of her own and the more distant heirs have been fighting over the place ever since. Damn nuisance sitting up there empty. Bandits and outlaws have used the place regularly so we, meaning the rangers, keep an eye on the place and run them out ever so often. Well I just got word last winter that a few outcast orcs were lurking around the place. Nobody much wanted to go up there in winter. Back in spring a group scouted the place and ran off a couple dozen orcs. I just got word that they were back in much bigger numbers. Hard to say with orcs though. Especially in a big sprawling place like that. Guess the sheriffs and rangers will get together soon and take care of the problem. But if you lot want to get involved I guess we could talk to the Sheriff about it."

 

[Rhun]

Brae smiles at Drueglefish. "Well, seeing as how our investigations have led us on a path to these orc raiders, I think we probably should get involved. Talking to the sheriff sounds like a good place to start."

 

[Helfdan]

Alarion of Tovarre

"Our thanks, master ranger. We will be glad to do all we can to help your brethren to defeat these miscreants."

 

[Lou]

Raul

SoulFetter returns Raul's whisper, his deep bass voice surprisingly quiet considering his ability to make himself heard across a battlefield when necessary.

"Well, we've learned that Drueglefish is a little on the prickly side, that Jonas isn't the most tactful of our comrades, that Moru wasn't paying attention in his 'Elemental Summoning' class, that the water elemental in the 13th was likely not summoned by ordinary means and may actually have swum over here, and that the Moonies and the orcs raiding the BB caravans are likely not the same group - that, in fact, the raiders are possibly hindering the efforts of the Moonies to move in."

Raul smirks at Soulfetter's condensed version of the conversation. "Any comments made about the Greasy Boys?" Raul glances in the direction of Darius, who has wandered away from the party and seems to be staying a short distance away.

Hearing Drueglefish's comments about the mill, Raul adds to Soulfetter, "The mill sounds like a place to get some exercise, after we check in with the sheriff."

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

SoulFetter

"If there were, I missed them. Sometimes my attention goes off on its own for a bit. I'm ready for some exercise - I feel rusty after our vacation."

 

[Helfdan]

Alarion of Tovarre

Alarion nods grimly at his friends' rough jests. "Indeed, gentlemen... excercise awaits, as well as the opportunity to mete Justice out."

 

[Scotley]

As Druglefish gathers his things and the party gets ready to move out...

OOC: Spot and Listen checks for all please.

 

[Lou]

Raul ready to move out

Raul winks up at Soulfetter as Alarion comments. Raul then turns to move out.
