Constables of the 14th Ward Part 3

[Leif]

Tauvelak Dusksprocket

Tau's research basically turns up what was already known or suspected: namely that this Thelugadam, by most, if not all, accounts (which are sparse and rare at best) is an Outsider of the chaotic variety.

 

[KerlanRayne]

OOC: Hello? Anybody home? Does anyone want Tau to make magic items for them? or are we all ready to move on?

 

[Leif]

I'm not too sure that you have enough time to spare to make much in the way of magic items just now. Better plan to move on, I guess. Thoughts, Scotley?

 

[KerlanRayne]

OOC: My Co-DM is temporarily incapacitated, but I hope to have him back shortly. Look for us to advance time a couple of month before we resume the action. Feel free to post up anything you'd like to accomplish during that time. Tau has some magic making to do that's already been mentioned. Assume you are all fully healed and restored shortly into this 'down time'.

OOC: That seems like plenty of time to make anything.

OOC: [sblock=Leif]I'd say give them a little time for crafting before the actions starts again, but lets do it out of character and get the game moving again in this thread. Sent you and email. [/sblock]

 

[Leif]

OOC: I stand corrected, Kerlan, craft/scribe/whatever away!

[sblock=co-DM Scotley]Mail received and reply sent![/sblock]

 

[Scotley]

There is a crispness in the morning air. The smell of meat and fish being smoked for the winter is on the air and there is a bustle of harvest. Festival season is here as the Summerling Elves prepare to depart for winter. Casks of new wine are broached and everyone wants a chance to raise a toast to a departing elf—a sure way to have good luck until the spring. It also means rowdy drunks and crowd control duties for the Constables. The days are shorter, but there seems to be more work to do. The Keepstorm playoffs are just getting under way and the talk of bars and coffee shops is whether or not the Red Knights led by Buster Stonebones can unseat last year’s champs, the Wizards and the mysterious Black Devil. There has been little news of the eco-terrorist Thaddeus Thornapple though your friends in the 15th think he’s planning something. Merchants begin to display furs and thick woolens as woodsmen and coal miners work overtime to lay in the stocks of fuel that will keep the city warm in the coming winter. The latest political talk is a debate about expanding the so called Dammit Wall in the 3rd to seal off additional areas of the ward to allow the magistrate there, Gerald Wormwood, to concentrate funding on reforms to improve the remaining smaller ward. This has led to calls in some quarters for a massive effort to bring order to the 3rd and particularly the areas behind the Dammit Wall. Your own Ignatius Ironshirt is a supportive of efforts to bring order to the area though most in the city have long since given it up as a lost cause.

 

[Helfdan]

Alarion arrives early as is his custom, and gives Elke a brief bow. "A blessed morning to you, fair maiden. Have any of my stalwart comrades arrived yet?"

 

[Leif]

14th Ward Magistrate's Office

Elke blushes and smiles at Alarion. "Oh, Constable Alarion! Always so gracious and genteel! You are the first to arrive, as usual. Have a crumpet and a cup of tea, and I'll let Magistrate Ironshirt know that you are here." She disappears into Iggy's office, and the two of them come back soon after that. "Ahh, Alarion, me boy! Good to see you looking so fit, laddie! Come in, come in, and tell me all about your latest exploits," says Ignatious Ironshirt. Elke quietly resumes her seat.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

SoulFetter arrives at Iggy's office a few minutes after Alarion, having spent most of his 'down time' making friends and influencing people (aka 'gently' breaking up bar fights, getting cats out of trees, giving safety lessons to school kids/classrooms . . .)
