J. Alexander's Four Lands Part 2, redux

[J. Alexander]

New Day

The intrepid party sets forth on it's errand to the Archbishops office. Leaving their new quarters they find a guard of two men outside the other suite on their floor and guards at the bottom of the landing. Quickly going thru the lobby area the party reaches the street. As it is market day, the shops are quite busy with the housewives going about their shopping...and a steady stream of small carts and farm wagons can be seen brining in produce and homemade items such as clothes, cheeses, butter and the likes.

As before small cadres of household troops can be seen patrolling the city streets but the only truly heavy presence is found in the quarter housing the cathederal, palace and goverment offices......

Approaching the Archbishops residence, adjacent to the Catherderal, the party soon finds itself in front of the doorway leading into the residence and the reception chamber.

The ARchbishop

Taking the bull by the horns, Angelo mounts the steps to the doorway and enters the antechamber/receeption area just inside the main door. Scanning the room he does indeed see seveal clerks and secretaries sitting behind various desks. A group of individual off to the left occupy a small waiting area. Roll spot everyone?

The Antechamber

For Angelo
[sblock]Glancing about the room, Angelo detects the presence of several clerics and or monks about the room that are more than just scribes and secretarite....as one is reaching for a quill Angelo would swear that he saw black chainmail adorning his arm[/sblock]

For Angelo and Tetsu
[sblock]Discreet men-at-arms wearing the Archbishops livery can be seen stationed in the room and walking the corridors. Four stand at the bottom of the staircase leading up to the Achbishops office and inner waiting room and another four await guest at the upper landing.[/sblock]

"They seem rather well equiped for scribes eh?" says Angelo very softly to his companions. "I wonder if I could speed up our arrival." Angelo borrows a quill and paper to quickly write a brief note. He tries to get the note passed to the Cardinal Archbishop.

[sblock]Your Eminence, my companions and I are aquainted with a friend of yours. He is taken ill and we took it upon ourselves to relay some information he scouted up. Perhaps you know Marcus?[/sblock]

The ARchbishops palace

As Angelo quickly scribes his missive and after a breif argument about having it sent, the party see's it being carried to the second floor offices. Time passess slowly for the party, perhaps some thirty minutes, when a nice looking young man descends the staircase dressed in clerical robes of deepest black with scarlet and purple trimming. (if you want, roll a knowlege religion). He first goes to the clerks and has a brief word with them followed by them getting up and going to the various waiting parties. When the clerks are finished speaking with each group, the group or individual gets up and departs the antechamber.

Crossing the now empty antechamber the young man approaches the party and says "This way if you please gentlemen"

Angelo Human Mage

Angelo nods his thanks and follows.

OOC: Knowledge Religion (1d20+6=8) Well, Angelo hasn't really shown himself to be a religious man.

 

[J. Alexander]

The party is escourted by the young cleric to the Archbishops office. Arriving once again in the all too familar inner waiting room, the party is bidded to take a seat. After asking one of the attending borthers to fetch refreshments...the young man disapperars into the Cardinals office.......
