The ate a breakfast and hurried down the mountain towards the borders of the kingdom Alos. The did not regret leaving this place.The next few days passed without incident, the wheather was pleasant as the first real days of autmn began to set in. The passed through a small town the inkeeper indicated that they were two days from the Marquis estate. With more luck the be there with a few days to "gather" some information, be in and out without the Marquis noticing.The party arrived two days before the tournament, thought the festivities were well underway. The party bid the gypsies farewell, as the set off for purposes of their own."This was a welcome holiday for these people the Marquis is known well for how hard and unsympathetically he works his people" said Lucas"They really go all out" Stoli said "Merchants of all kinds, a circus, and I am bad need of a malt beer. There is the common tent. What say ye lads?"Everyone agreed. They were asked if they were here to participate. They agreed to participate in the Hero's Melee. Fulrik presented his paytons and they headed to the common tent.Asking around proved hit and miss they learned a lot. Whether it was truthful or pertinent to the mission, well none can say.They learned that the circus folk are weird the only come out at night,A drunk told them that the Marquis was a vampire!There was a troll problem and that the Alosian millitary had sent a platoon to deal with the problem.The Marquis preformed experiments on trolls.They met back at the cabin tent set in the field, and discussed what they had learned. They concluded that after the Hero's melee they would scout out the mansion."Is not St. Kain supposed to be here" pondered McDougal aloud."Yes, we may find him a usefull ally" stated Lucas"Or not" said Fulrik, he explained " Kain is very....Odd. Unless you worship the shining one, or have earned his respect, he can be very distant.""Have you ever met him befor Sir Fulrik" asked McDougal."Charles just call me Fulrik, please. No not directly, I have met Magnus Rex. He was a senior student in the academy of arms, when I was drafted into the millitary." Replied Fulrik"Lions of Pelor is the name of their company I believe" added Lucas, "They are reproted to be very, very good."Caber finally spoke " Perhaps they are seeking the item also. But why would Romero send both our groups. Everyone knew of Cabers distrust of Romero and the fact that they were in the dark about these "children".The next day the entered and won the grand melee, though barely. They dubbed their company name "The sons of Artaurus" as they recieved there prize. Platinum pendants bearing the crest of Alos, triple Ravens set against a red field.They found St. Kain to be no help at all, he would not even see them, they spoke briefly with Magnus Rex and another of their member a magess Lillith. The two assured them that they were here on leave, and to see St. Kain joust.Stoli came back from his scouting mission that night saying he had found a servants entrance that led to a sub level, which is where he believed that the servants were housed. There would be a banquet after the joust, that is when they would enter the mansion.I shall return....</blockquote>
