Constables of the 14th Ward

[Leif]

Alarion remembers...

Alarion of TovarreAlarion helps himself to some more fresh-baked bread. With Darius, Raul, and Soulfetter gone, he was the only frontline fighter left... and he thought Thornapple mad, and desperate, enough for an attack even here.

Alarion also recalls what Darius said as he was leaving, that they would be coming straight back to the Polished Staff.

Thea nodded to those headed off on their errand, but she seemed quite caught up in her own thoughts for the moment. She seemed mostly content to mull over the details of their investigation so far, pausing from time to time to have a tiny bite or two of breakfast- of all the squad members, she usually seemed to eat the least, and their kind 'hosts' nagged her about the matter from time to time.

Once the others returned, with or without their quarry, Thea knew they would have to get down to the day's business of serious investigating, and she wanted her thoughts to be in order. Hopefully they wouldn't run into too much trouble, she mused, and even as the thought was completed she chuckled to herself- of course they were going to run into trouble...

"You look troubled, lass. I think that you and I might need to make more time for some 'girl talk.' I know it must drive you crazy, taking care of such rowdy lads all the time. Just remember that I'm always here for you, Thea!" says Mattie, with a motherly look in her eyes.

Andrew Dresden

As the Party departs, Andrew will quietly get up and go to an observation point where he can get a view of as many entrances/exits points from the building as possible so as to be able to spot someone should he elude the constables going for him as well as be in a supporting position.

"As you mount the ladder to the upper floors of the Polished Staff, Mattie sees you and approaches, "Here now, Constable Dresden, is there something you need up there? Perhaps I can assist you, Sir? Do you want to rent a room?"

Andrew Dresden

Responding Andrew says "No Mattie I am fine..just need to check on something" and will continue up to the vantage point

Andrew finds the room occupied, and the door locked. Then he remembers that he wouldn't really be able to see much from the window, anyway. Walls in Lauralie Summerhome are generally quite thick, and windows small, to reduce heat loss. Anyway, by the time you get there, Darius is most likely out of sight, either because of distance or maybe by being lost in foot traffic. So Andrew rejoins the squad right away.

Reaching the Magistrate's building, Darius pulls his Bronze Badge from concealment and displays it conspicuously on his chest. He also displays his truncheon on his belt. He scouts around the building for Alphonsus, doesn't see him immediately, and says to the others [highlight]"Let's give him ten minutes before we head back to the Polished Staff"[/highlight]. Darius seats himself in a visible place on the stoop and pulls Krado's map notes from his pocket to study them further, wondering if another mapmaker could determine anything useful from this small bit of information.

Dariuis, Raul, and SoulFetter

Darius, Raul, and SoulFetter have made the short walk from the Polished staff to the Magistrate's Building of the 14th Ward (both locations are in "The Hub" of the 14th). Not seeing the person they hope to meet immediately, Darius sits on the steps of the building to study further Krado's map. (But he is not able to learn anything from this study that has not already been discerned.) Raul is momentarily distracted by some young boys who are fighting. He steps between them and separates them, and is able to get them patched up and sent home after a few moments. SoulFetter is standing near the steps, when he spies a furtive-looking, skinny half-orc approaching. SoulFetter silently nudges Darius's elbow and gestures toward the half-orc.

Having seen Darius's shiny badge, the half-orc walks right up and, in a voice like Peter Lorre, says, "Heeyy, Constable, I have some eenforrrrmayshun for yooouuuuu."

Darius folds the map back into his pocket, and eyeballing the half-orc carefully, responds [highlight]"And who might you be?"[/highlight] [sblock=ooc]If the half-orc identifies himself as Wally Alphonsus, Darius will get up, conceal his badge and truncheon, and invite Wally back to the Polished Staff so they "can get off the street and speak privately".[/sblock]
