Message: <blockquote data-quote="doghead" data-source="post: 1889244" data-attributes="member: 8243">Aaron, the Housecarl of Beck.Aaron looks relieved."Ah. Thats great. Bruscillious mentioned keeping this as quiet as possible. Of course Sean knows, as do a couple of others. But I wasn't sure what to do when you didn't say anything about Brucillious. For a moment I wondered if I had got the right group."Still, all is fine now. I'll leave you to to get cleaned up. Dinner will be ready at sundown. I'll send someone over to fetch you."And so half an hour later there is a knock at the door and you are taken to another hall, but this one already full of men and women from the stead. Its not an honour dinner per say, more like a large get together to hear news of the city and the world at large. But the food is good and the drink particularly so. Everyone has questions about the city, and in particular the theft of the Stone. But no one makes more than polite inquiries as to your reasons for being out this way. They all want to hear the story of your encounter with the mad bear, but there is a slightly strained response when the question of Tabotty's request for aid comes up. Sean makes only a brief appearance. He looks gaunt and worn, says little, and only picks at his food for a while. He gets a little more animated when his wife suggests that perhaps he retire for the night, but his Housecarl calms him down and after making his excuses, he leaves with his wife and Housecarl.After a few hours things begin to wind down, and people drift off back to their homes and their beds. When you return to yours, you find that the bedding has been laid out for your return, a thick padded bedroll and blankets laid out on the low wooden platform that serves as a bed in these parts. A large fire burns in the cental hearth and small braziers have been placed in four of the 'rooms' along with the bedding. Judging by the heat of the stones, it has been for some time. The night is chilly, but the hall is warm enough.</blockquote>
