Constables of the 14th Ward Part 2

[Helfdan]

Alarion

As he leans back in his chair, the tall knight looks somehow more comfortable in his banded armor than he does in the simple garments he wears in the city -- and he seems unconcerned by the creaking sounds from the rough-carved furniture beneath him. "Aye, lass. If you have any meat roasting, I would like some... And some bread as well."

 

[Fenris]

Jonas and Bruno spends some time wandering the streets of the bucolic village. What seems like aimless wandering though has purpose. Jonas has been leading Bruno to the perimeter of the village at different places to see if he can pick up any orc scent.

 

[xedr]

Darius orders nachos for everyone, sausages for his entree, and a stout beer. "Beautiful weather for orc-hunting" he observes out loud.

 

[Leif]

Jonas and Bruno

As Jonas passes the temple (Meda) in the village square, Bruno indicates Orc. Continuing on to the outskirts of the village as previously planned, Bruno indicates Orc two more times before the edge of town is reached. Jonas has learned to have confidence in Bruno alerting to a scent like this. He usually does not indicate falsely, but the spoor in this case gives a very confusing, muddled picture, and Jonas is left without any clear indications, other than that Orcs have definitely been here recently.

 

[Scotley]

The sausages at the Pig and Whistle prove to be a disappointment compared to the staves back at the Polished Staff. The beer is good and the slow roasted pork short ribs rubbed with a mixture of spicy powder are quite good. The meat falls off the bone.

 

[Leif]

They also have a rare treat on the menu today at the Pig and Whistle: Hippogriff steaks.

 

[Lou]

Ederaul Mamier

Raul tells the serving girl, "I'll have some pork BBQ and a beer."

When she returns with the food and drink, Raul asks her, "Any interesting sightings or rumors around here? We don't get outside the city very often to hear things directly."

 

[Rhun]

Looking at the menu, Brae can only raise an eyebrow and shake his head. "Who in their right mind hunts a hippogriff for steaks? That's like fighting an ogre with a hatpin." Turning his attention to the serving wench, Brae also orders the beer and the roasted pork.

 

[Leif]

The "Wench"

The Serving chick at the moment is a vapid youngster, who looks as though she does good to find her way home from work after her shift. "No, sorry, no rumors. Oh, wait! I amost forgot! I did hear a rumor about Velda and the stable boy! Oooh, it's a juicy one, too! Wanna hear it??"

And she goes on, "I don't know anything about hatpins. But I've seen the crates that our steaks arrive in. What does 'genuine farm-raised Hippogriff' mean, anyway?" This leads you to conclude that the "special treat" on today's menu is, perhaps, not as rare as you were led to believe.

The Serving chick at the moment is a vapid youngster, who looks as though she does good to find her way home from work after her shift. "No, sorry, no rumors. Oh, wait! I amost forgot! I did hear a rumor about Velda and the stable boy! Oooh, it's a juicy one, too! Wanna hear it??"

"No, you can save that one for the sheriff, if he needs to hear it. Does Velda know that you are spreading that one? So no orc sightings or mischievous goblins running around? What about eye tyrants?"

Raul turns back to his food and drink after the girl leaves.
