Diplomatic Immunity: Funeral Procession

[Erekose13]

"Maybe you can answer a few questions about the operations then, if you don't mind. We'll start with how many horses are stabled here and what most of those who ride, use them for?" asks Mythweaver.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"That's easy! There are twelve horses here, and I can tell you their names if you want, but nobody ever wants to hear about them, so I guess not. People use them for riding around. Sometimes just for fun or to get to the other side for a pretty sunset picnic or something, or sometimes to go hunting or for a race or to play a game that uses horses. Horses can be used for lots of things."

 

[Erekose13]

*Mythweaver thinks back to the number of horses that were in the stables, trying to remember if he saw 12.*

"Interesting. There weren't any other animals stabled here during the festivities were there?" he asks while contemplating something.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*He didn't count, I believe, but of the top of his head, twelve seems about right.*

"No, not that I know of."

"The far side of the asteroid you say? What is down there, I don't think that any of us have visited it yet?" replies Mythweaver wondering if our assassin/mind controller might have arrived and fled from the other side.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Just fields and forests. It isn't very big, so it takes but little time to reach the other side on horseback, though we turn and make night and day fairly regularly despite the size."

 

[Erekose13]

"Might be worth having a look around the other side at some point. You know the horses better than I, would you know if one of the horses had been ridden in the recent past?" asks Mythweaver, though they have no real time line on when Aesthus was killed.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Huh? Sure. All the people who went on horseback rides rode horses, of course. That would be Lord Orin, Lord Thyestes, and Lady Kurai, at least."

 

[Erekose13]

"That was yesterday?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Yessir."
