IC: Dichotomy's Age of Worms Redux, Part I

[sblock=o3&di]"Well, we can go to the garrison, and see if my parents know anything about the symbols that we saw." Viktor turns to the elf. "I know you probably think I should have thought of this yesterday."[/sblock]

[sblock]Boldak looks at the wands with a little trepidation before asking, "How does one go about using them, then?"

After his question is answered, he becomes bold enough to inquire, "The armor will be of use to someone, I'm sure... but I don't know much about these wands. You don't happen to know where we could sell things like this, do you? Tidwoad's doesn't exactly seem like the place."[/sblock]
 

[sblock=worthley & di]"Garrison? I guess that it's better than wasting the morning away here."

Alexis eyes Viktor quizzically and says to no one in particular, "Both parents you say? Hmmm. Well lets go see them then." [/sblock]
 

[sblock=o3 & worthley]Alendar shrugs shoulders. "Garrison's not my idea of a good time... But maybe your parents will embarass you enough to make it work the trip."

There is some small amount of activity as you reach the garrison, but it is nothing that seems out of the ordinary. The garrison houses more than 60 members of the Free City militia. While at any given time a third of them are patrolling the countryside, it seems like most of the rest are working on drills as you enter. The structure contains what you'd largely expect of it. There are some storerooms, barracks, and, of course, the chapel of Heironeous.

Alendar turns to Viktor. "So, are your parents scholars or something? My brother never mentioned it."[/sblock]
[sblock=Ti & mn]"Well, in all honesty, I wouldn't sell anything to that gnome unless it was gems. He still takes a cut out of those, but not nearly as much." The sage thinks a moment. "I don't generally have sufficient coin on hand to buy them from you personally. Taggin may be interested at the general store. Benazel at the smelting house would have an interest. But you may find it more beneficial to hold on to them. Resources in this town are generally not spent, even by those with sufficient coin, to purchase things like these."[/sblock]
 

[sblock]"Well, thank you for your time, sir. Hopefully we'll be back again soon," says Boldak in thanks. As the pair returns to the Dog in order to meet the rest of the party, he comments to Breth, "Let's get back to work, then. If we're not to be able to make much coin from these, let's put them to use in finding coin in that cairn. I sure hope someone is able to appreciate this armor..."[/sblock]
 

As the two approach the Feral Dog once more Breth looks up from his private study of the wands. "Agreed, while the spells are not as familiar as I would have hoped, I believe we could still get some good use out of them."
 

[sblock=di & o3]"My parents have worked for the garrison and worshiped Heironeous for a long time. With the amount of time they spend in study, you could call them scholars. Most of their years out and about, searching for the troubles we've been finding ourselves in are behind them." Viktor leads the others to where he would normally find his parents at this time of day.[/sblock]
 

"Both could be of use though if they do what it sounds like," states the young dwarf, launching himself into an early morning ale to pass the time. "I can think of a few places already that we'd have liked to move something without being nearby, or things we'd rather not have solid anymore."
 

[sblock=di&worthley]As they walk Alexis leans to Alendar and whispers, "I think he might be drunk." and she eyes Viktor carefully.

Straightening herself she says, "Lead the way friend, i must say i look forward to meet your mum and dad. I hope they can help us."[/sblock]
