Constables of the 14th Ward Part 3

Ignatious Ironshirt

"Ah, I see. Sure about that, are ye, Alarion? As I seem to recall, orc infestations are a bit like a bad cockroach problem -- there's always one more hiding in the privy somewhere...."

Thea looked as fresh as if she had just woken from a restful sleep,her uniform was as clean and crisp as if it had just been laundered, and her hair was coiled into an ordered braid beneath her large floppy hat. It was rather amazing what a carefully applied Prestidigitation could accomplish...

On the other hand, her voice was quieter than normal, and she stood rather stiffly- it would take a serious visit to the healers before the effects of her injuries eased up. "Sir, we accounted for a large number of orcrats, including two powerful if barbaric spellcasters, and a number of exceptional fighters, in addition to the expected sort of rabble- and two extraordinarily large bears. It seems likely that if any of the vermin survived, they will be terrifying their brats for generations with 'scary constable stories'... We also recovered a large amount of equipment and some information which may help us determine if these beasts had any assistance or supply from inside the walls." She paused, and looked around the group. "While I don't know that it was an absolute unqualified success, it ought to have broken the back of that group, and the spirits of any survivors. We will, of course, have a fully polished report on your desk first thing in the morning- and we'll begin our analysis and action plans for our next step in the investigation as soon as we are through here. Do any of you gentlemen have any further details for the Magistrate?," she finished, addressing the last question to her compatriots.
 

Old Ironshirt can't help but chuckle at the notion of orc brats being weened on stories of big bad Constables from the 14th. He's so amused he doesn't even dress Thea down for taking charge when everyone knows he's the boss around here.

"Well, then, I guess you've earned a pint or two! Tell Maddie that the first two rounds are on the 14th." He looks around the group of constables impatiently, "So go already! Shooo! Scat!! I'm tired of looking at you," he says with a wink. ;)
 


Braz tosses a note* onto Iggy's desk as he heads out the door.

"Alright, I believe Soul Fetter and I have a long over due drinking bet to settle. Unless he can't handle it." says Braz as he heads to the tavern.

*in Dwarven runes.
 

"Let's be about it, then, half-pint!" The giant man grins and reaches down to ruffle the dwarf's hair good naturedly as he speaks and heads out of the office toward Maddie's.

"If all you can handle is half a pint, you're in the wrong league my friend. We're starting off with quarts!" shoots back Braz with a grin.
 

Elke chuckles amusedly at the constables' antics, but she doesn't even look up from the pencil she is sharpening. Until, that is, Darius reaches his nearest approach to her desk on his way out. Then she clears her throat and says, "I'm especially thrilled that you made it back safe and sound, Constable Darius. Perhaps this weekend we might take in a show?" ;)
 

Tau sits there in deep thought while the others talk to Ignatious about their mission. Only partially listening he is surprised to look up and see everyone leaving. He jumps up and leaves as well. He follows the others to Maddie's for a quick drink but doesn't speak much, contemplating the name Thelugadam.

OOC: If the roleplay is over for now, Tau will identify the items they found and do some research on the name Thelugadam in the library, on his own and through connections he has from working there.
