The Return of Abracham

Your earstwhile guide returns after about 20 minutes.

"I hope you all had time to settle in. Ready for your baths?"

He leads you down the hall to an expansive room with slatted wooden floors surrounding stone tubs set into the ground. Each tub is easily large enough to accomodate 4 or 5 people. There are two small stone 'sluice gates' in each tub. Abracham explains to the group that the 'gates' open to admit either hot or cold water into the tub, and the desired temperature is achieved by changing the amount of each.

"Queen Máthair will be ready for you when she finishes her judgements - should be about an hour and a half. There will be light refreshments waiting in your room when you return there from your baths. Once you've bathed and eaten, please feel free to look around the campus if you wish, or take a nap. If you have any questions, anyone who's not otherwise occupied will be happy to answer them for you. I'll return for you when the Queen is ready."
 

OOC:

If anyone wants to do any poking around before you go to the Queen, let's take care of it now. I'll wait to hear back from all four of you - if no one wants to do anything else first, we'll go straight to the Queen.
 

Bear

Bear definately wants to poke around. He takes a 10 minute bath (long for his standards) and then dresses and walks around to clear his mind and mentally prepare himself for the meeting. Along the way, he orients himself to the layout of the school...the different schools, the exits, anything of interest.
 

Gavril

The swordsman would like to take a look around, but an hour and half simply wont give him enough time. He bathes carefully and thoroughly washing his hair and letting Diddious shave him, trim his nails, trim his hair and wax his mustache. He barely has time to get dressed in the clothes Diddious prepares and nibble at the food before it is time to go to the audience. "Gods there simply isn't time to properly prepare my hair. Just comb it out and tie it back. We'll cover it with a hat." He cuts a fine figure once properly bathed and groomed. "Diddious old fellow, while we're gone take a long soak in the tub and get yourself something to eat. Stand ready for my return, we must see a tailor as soon as possible."
 

Skath

Skath will not venture out though it might be fun provoking the town's folk, but he just can't subject them to that, "It's a shame they have to be afraid of all of us.". He will wash his clothes well and ring them and set them on the window sill, open the window and hope they dry before the court. He will then bath himself. As the time for our guide approaches, he will dress even if the clothes are still a bit damp.
 

Quick Tour (a.k.a. I Don't Have the Map Done Yet)

Béar has his look around, getting a fine sense of the layout of the school. There's a lot of open space, well landscaped and kept up. Trees are abundant as well, as one would expect in the warm, wet climate.

The buildings fit into the terrain, rather than the opposite - all was obviously designed with aesthetics as well as functionality in mind.

The buildings aren't labeled, so without going in he won't be able to pinpoint specifics (there likely won't be time for that - the grounds are expansive). However, the function of some of the building is plain (the mess hall, for example).
 


Cerallos

OOC: Very funny GM. lol Sorry fellas, been changing 3 rooms around at home so no internet at home, and just lost track at work! :heh:

Cerallos takes a long bath and after the others are finished with theirs, promptly dries off, reapplies his face paint, this time with different symbols and patterns. Then puts all his gear back on and does his best to clean some of his clothes and weapons. After doing a few meditations, he'll get some food and await the escort.
 

Abracham

Abracham arrives back at the suite at the appointed time. After ascertaining that everyone's ready, he leads the group across the grounds and into the palace. He passes the party through the palace without difficulty, greeting several of the guards by name on the way in.
