[QUOTE="GlassEye, post: 6712752, member: 40413"] The two guards fall into excited babbling when the head is produced. They both seem like they would gladly join the triumphal procession up to make the announcement at Meadhold if they weren't on duty. It is only reluctantly that they let you proceed and only after promising to let them buy you a pint at the Wolf-Spear later. As you move on up into town many townsfolk poke their heads out of doors or windows to see what the alert was about. They call out greetings and the relief on their faces is obvious and enough to move even the most jaded when they learn the Hound is slain. Continuing on up, the townsfolk begin to gather and follow. At the village square Father Beacom, accompanied by his two silent acolytes, continues his unending tirade. One one side, beneath the Jarl's tattered, rampant wolf banner is the locked lottery box. Catkins gives out a cry and rushes over to kick the post. A large number of villagers join him now that the Hound is dead and the lottery no longer serves a function. They batter the post and box until it falls over. Amidst the crowd performing the vandalism there is a triumphant cry. [b]"I knew it!"[/b] Catkins emerges from the throng with the battered box in hand. It is broken open but within is a second, smaller box. The crowd falls silent then a muttering begins to travel through the crowd. Not stopping, the group arrives at the door of Meadhold. The great hall overlooks Hirot and is built from enormous timbers, thatched with straw and hung with trophies celebrating the Jarl's victories. The rampant wolf, the Jarl's symbol, adorns the hall. A young warrior watches wide-eyed as the heroes advance and are followed by the growing crowd. He steps aside to let them enter unhindered. Inside the hall the Jarl sits at his table. A weasly-looking man whispers into his ear and his seven thegns sit and lounge around the great room drinking and talking. When the group enters the Jarl looks up.
