J. Alexander's Four Lands Part 2, redux

[SirCaith]

Lucien Montrose

Lucien has seemed distracted since the confrontation with the young noble and his rejoinder. A sharp ear can hear him mumble to himself, "Another young blood who cares nothing for his immortal soul or those who serve under him."

At Angelo's question, he is drawn out of his reverie. "Hmm, he should recover from his current wounds, given bedrest and no additional injuries. I think his furry companion will serve as guard against the latter, but if we are out on business, we may need someone to enforce the former. I see our guest as a man of action, the type who try to get up from their sickbeds to face a foe, only to return to it a change it into a deathbed. His fever should abate with rest and more of that willowbark tincture. Perhaps there is a servant here at the inn who can keep watch over the man if we should have need to leave. I have a feeling in my entrails that the deeds of this morning will call us out to make a reckoning of them before a higher power."

"We've stumbled into something here. When do you think our guest will be able to talk? I'd like to know what's going on. Our young friend's allies are dragging a lot of weapons into that tavern we were at last night."

New Quarters

As the party is standing in the hallway to the two adjoing suites making up the 5th floor, sounds can be heard from below of cleaning. A pair of houseboys climb up the stairwell carrying buckets of water and rags with which to clean the lobby. Bottles of a yellowish liquid, giving off the scent of lemons can be seen in their other hands. Reaching the landing one of the boys staes "Pardon me good sirs, may we clean the landing?"

Tetsu

"Sorry, lads - standing around like a granite headed idiot, I am! Please, don't let us interfere with your duties!"

He will return to the room.

The two young boys begin cleaning the lobby area first by wiping the blood up then by washing the floor and walls. To complete their task the once again wipe the walls and floor down with the yellowish liquid. A faint scent of lemons fills the lobby area and the wood floors and panneling glisten. "Please sirs, If you would allow 15 minutes for it to dry, we would appreciate it"

Angelo Human Mage

Looking a bit sheepish, Angelo clears out of the way for the lads to clean. Barring the door behind him he continues their discussion, "I know you are both new to the city, but do you have some contacts that might help us understand what's going on here? It almost looks as if a war is about to break out in the streets."

 

[SirCaith]

Lucien Montrose

"Actually, freind Angelo, I think I can at least arrange to tap into the current street rumor mill." Opening the door to the suite, Lucien beckons to one of the young men cleaning the walls and floor.

"Lad, if you could come into our rooms, we may have a task that you can assist us with. Our friend is injured, and we may need to leave later in the day to attend to business. He does not need to be left alone in case he should awaken and do something to aggravate his injuries. Perhaps, if Master Keeper does not have other tasks requiring your skills, you would be willing to stay and help keep watch over Marcus. We would be willing to pay for your services."

New Quarters

The young man readily agrees to infrom the Innkeeper of the request and departs. He returns in roughly 5 minutes and states that the inkeeper is agreeable to the request and a sitter can be arranged at any hour should it be needed for the additional cost of 1 silver a day.

Lucien Montrose

"I think that will be acceptable, lad. Have a seat, I would like to talk for a while. We are all visitors to your fine town, and have noticed all the scramble betwixt what look to be armed levies from the region's nobles. What has been happening, child, to cause such a stir? What is the word amongst the kitchen staff and such?"

Lucien needs to roll diplomacy and gather information
