Le Carinval

They both look up. Each nods, and Jean mubbles something about no intrusion at all.

"We're not sure of were the Baron's castle is, exactly." Getting uphe wonders over to a shelf in the corner, then pulls a long scroll from it. While unrolling it he continues, "There are a couple of places he could be. The old sheriff seemed to think that the old church of Obad-Hai was his hideout." Pointing to an area north of the city, he says "It's over here."

"I would think it would be more logical for him to be in the old watch tower," Mrs. Hulbert interjects, indicating an area south of the city with her glasses.

Jean ponders, "The 'collectors' come from the east...I really don't know of any particular brothers in the area. I'm sure there are some in the village. As for slighted honour, I don't know what to say. My honour is mostly intact, and I haven't heard of any feuds."

"We haven't a clue what that loon in the wood would be talking about. The only caves in these parts are the ones in the mountains, and this time of year they are imhabited by bears. I suspect that her rising cave is only a figment produced by the rising of her bottle."Mrs hulbert icely replies.

"The cemetary is about an hour outside of town to the north end. And unforchunately one will will go there. they are all to afriad of having a run in with a long lost relative. I however can show you were we leave the money. It is by a tree on the east side of town."

"We should maybe visit the bares. The best time for the grave yard would be now. Can we have this map for now?" We don't seem to be getting any were and the only feud that is apparent is bettwen Mrs. Hurbert and the sage. "Do you have a historian in town?" We may need help to beat the barron and the brothers would help.

 

[Rhiannon Star]

"I think we should check out the tree on the east end of town first, if someone doesn't mind guiding us there. We can find our way to the cemetary afterwards." She looks at Akashia for a minute. "Is there anything you'd like to pick up before we head out again?"

 

[confused_child]

"I should check on my fur, the cold was not kind to me last time" with a small smirk I turn on my heels, "I'll be back in half an hour". Its only been about six hours, if that, since I dropped the wolf off, but I can hope. I walk strait over to the butchers look around then knock on the door. Too who ever answers "I dropped off a wolf this morning, I am back early but was wandering if the fur would be finished?"

 

[PsicrystalAffinity]

The butcher looks at you.

"I have the meat ready for you, but the fur is still curing by the fire. My apernetice is out burying the remians now. i told no less then 6ft under. He's a good strong lad, and will do at least 5ft." He chuckles.

 

[confused_child]

5ft that will not do. "Tell him I will give him another drown directly if he makes it at least ten! I will know if he skimps and so will you. Thank you for your help." I return to were I left Rhiannon. Looking down at her "Could i borrow a coat" I blush "then we can go"

 

[PsicrystalAffinity]

Rhiannon grins briefly, then says "Sure. Now, Mr. Mayor, if you or someone else suitable might show us the way?"

 

[PsicrystalAffinity]

It’s a short walk though the forest to a clearing just east of town. The further from town you go, the colder it seems to get. The forest is quiet except for the crunching snow under your feet. When you get to the clearing it is approximately a 20ft diameter circle. In the center a small poplar tree stands naked in the snow. Beside it is a small create turn upside down, to act as a table. The snow on the clearing is still smooth from the snow fall two days prier. Standing at the far end are three figures. They aren’t moving except to sway in the breeze. They are wearing tattered grey cloaks. Their skin is a pale grey, and their hollow lifeless eyes are a sickly yellow. The snow is neatly capped on their head and shoulders. They stand as if they were statues, standing their awaiting the end of time.

"I think its time for our guide to either go home or hid VERY well." I draw my sword and prepare for any hostile action. "I don't think they are going to attack at random, what are you looking for?"

 

[Rhiannon Star]

Rhiannon shakes her head softly. "You may want to put the sword away. I don't want to incite them yet." More quietly, so the figures can't hear, she whispers "I was attempting to scout out the best place for an ambush. But now I'm wondering if we shouldn't perhaps give them a few coins and see how far they can guide us..."
