Abracham

"Gaelach was here last week, but the Queen sent him out again two days ago. I'm certain he'll make time to visit with you on his return, should you still be in the city."

Into Tearmann

The going is slow in the city, as the party has to make its way through streets that are quite crowded. You also grow somewhat confused regarding direction, as the streets are somewhat narrow and twist round. There is apparantly not a direct route to Abracham's destination.
 

Skath

Skath will say to Bear, in a quiet voice so I guide may not hear, "Tearmann's streets are winding so if an invasion were to take place, it would confuse the invading forces and allow the residents more time to organize. Pretty neat thought. I think our guide is on the up and up as we seem to be headed to the Queen's court"
 

Gavril

Gavril continues to watch for signs of trouble or ambush not quite ready to accept the guild is as helpful as he claims. Their recent betrayal by a party member has left him raw when it comes to trust.
 

Cerallos

Cerallos does the same, keeping his staff as a walking staff but ready to swing into action, still feeling it's a bit too early be too trusting after Longbow's backstabbing.

OOC: Mike is there anything Cerallos could notice, given it a long shot that this guide would be one of the ones responsible for his master's slaying, but anything about him or the crowd that we're being led through, or perhaps if we are being followed?

To Skath (whispering):

[sblock] That's a brilliant idea...a couple of minutes could mean all the difference in an invasion. How do you know the reasoning of the street design? And how do you know the way to the Queen's court? Is this your home town? [/sblock]

"I guess it is in a way. I spent a lot of time at the Queen's residence but no one really knows this, including the queen, so please don't mention it. I am good at keeping to the shadows and keeping my ears open so I know a lot of things others may not though I am not sure what is really useful and what is not."
 

Abracham

"We should see the gates of the Inner City in the next few minutes. From there the way becomes easier - the inner city is much less crowded, and much of it is taken up with the Coláiste Oiliúna Bairdéir and the Palace grounds."
 

Tearmann

The Inner City is surrounded by a wall, lower and less thick than the outer walls of the city but still impressive. Abracham leads you deftly through the gates and the much less crowded area beyond. Here the streets are wider and straighter, and there is more room between the buildings. There are several areas here behind their own smaller walls that look to be residential - impressive houses or estates. The businesses here, for the most part, do not seem to double as housing for the proprietors, though there are some exceptions.

Once through these business and residential districts, you come to an area of large brick buildings intermingled with fenced fields and courtyards obviously suited for purposes varying from entertainment to martial training. (OOC: If you picture the Hendrix campus in its current incarnation you won't be far off - it's a beautiful campus, with lots of trees) Your guide explains to you that this is the Academy for Warders, the Coláiste Oiliúna Bairdéir, and that you will be provided rooms in one of the dormitories here.

You see lots of people here, most of them young (15 to 20) and almost all moving with an air of industry. Most are dressed in one of two uniforms - either forest green or black. Quite a few are dressed in uniforms of both black and green, and some in the same uniform worn by Abracham. Most of the full uniforms are teaching classes - either lectures or experiential - to groups of monochrome uniforms of varying sizes. In some of the classes are students in civilian dress, and some appear to be being taught by civilians as well.
