Ghost ---care to respond to the bells

OOC: Any response to Edoryan's questioning about the bells?

 

[kinem]

Edoryan will grab the nearest inhabitant of Rosedawn, and inquire as to the meaning of the bells.

As he was wondering the same thing, Heinz approaches to hear the answer.

Following the interview with the baron, Catyline is deep in thought. Thus the sound of the bells barely registers. Seeing everyone around her acting strangely snaps her out of contemplation and she asks someone what is going on.

 

[J. Alexander]

"Those are alarm bells, itmeans oneofthe beacons havebeen lite...there are foes withing a days ride."

 

[Rhun]

Edoryan turns to his companions. "Should we seek out the Captain and inquire if we may be of service?"

 

[ghostcat]

Catylina replies "I suspect that dealing with things like this is what we have been hired for. Still as we don't know how we fit in the defences, so we need to talk to the captain."

 

[kinem]

"Indeed. Let's show them how valuable we can be."

 

[Rhun]

With a nod, Edoryan goes about trying to locate the Captain, or someone else who likes they may be in charge of directing the defenses.

With the sounding of the bells, the sleepy backwater community takes on an entirely different air. Instead of panic there is an organized process. people are moving around leaving the center of the streets open, shopkeepers are closing their shutters, taverns are being closed, individual homes are being shuttered, large farm wagons are being moved to cross streets and other preparations.

On the green way in frontofthe castle (norhtside) troops and milita are being assembled. A few quick questions leads thepart to belivethat the captain will be in the map room. Directions are easily given to it and soon you find yourself in a very large basement room in thekeep perhaps some200 feets by 150 feet in lenght.

the walls do indeed have numerous maps but what is most interesting is a large 100 by 50 foot scale model of the entire region set into the center of the floor.

As you suspected, the captain is there talking with several people.

"Captain," calls Edoryan as he enters the chamber. "Can we perhaps offer our services to assist? Obviously, we have not yet been briefed on policies and procedures of Rosedawn, but we would certainly like to help out if we can."
