The Commissoin

Taking their leave once again of the ARchbishop, the party leaves the residence and makes it's way back to their lodgings. The streets are still very quite with the occasionaly sound of screams/yells coming from the odd alley or from along the river. About a 1/3 of the way into their trip, the skys open and a deluge of cold rain falls upon the party. slogging theri way thru the rain, the party arrives at last at their tavern.
 

Lucien Montrose

Pulling the cowl of his surcoat over his head to ward off some of the rain from his face, Lucien grins at his comrades. "Not the most auspicious of signs regarding our upcoming adventures, my friends. Still, better the rain before we begin than at some point when it would be to our disadvantage."
 


Angelo

Raising his own hood, Angelo adds, "Given the fires in the city, the rain is a blessing even if we don't benefit from it personally. As you say Tetsu, a clever man might find a use for it as well. I have an able mount for the journey, what of you gentlemen?"
 

The Commission

The party arrives at the Inn, cold wet and for some reason tired. Entering the common room they find it somewhat deserted but a roaring fire is in the Hearth. The mothelry type lady approaches and asks "Sit down good sirs and warm yourself while i send someone to light the fireplace in your room and heat hot water for a bath. Lucy, Maltida, hot tea and coffe quickly as well as some drying towels" The party is then more or less lead to chairs by the fire and bulleyed into sitting down and drinking hot tea etc under her watchful eye.

AFter 30 minutes of soaking up the warmth and feeling like human beings again, the door opens and the young man from acorss the hall enters the room. Followed by several retainers two of which are carrying a liter. "Take him to my romm" the man says and the liter bearers and another retainer disappera upstairs. Seeing the wet patrons enter the Matron hurridly orders that his fireplace be leit and that coals be brought to warm his room the quicker. "Thank you madame" the man says as he removes a great cloak, spraying water everywhere "It is as nasty a night as i have seen in a long time" Ascending the stairs the prepares to go to his rooms when he is caught by the Matorn, "none of that young man, you will come sit by one of the fireplaces and get warm. YOU TOO she barks at the retainers, No one will ever say they caught the sniffles in my establishemtn. The young man begins to protest but is quickly overruled and finds himself sitting in a chair, stipped to his undertuninc and sipping a mug of hot tea.

Everyone roll a spot check for me please.
