Midnight: Peril in Arbordale

Dane Swift

"Ok, i suppose we can at least talk to the gentleman, but after that i think we could all benift from some rest and food. I know not about the rest of you, but i for one am fealing a bit fatigued."

Dane smiles at the group, "Any objections?"

The Dworg turns to Dane and speaks. "I too could use some rest, but I won't be able to sleep easily until I found out why I've come here. So yes, I think we need to talk with this gentleman and then I can finally sleep peacefully for the first time in a long while." With that, he bows slightly to Miri and then Kuknar turns and exits the room that held the small council. Once he is in the main area, he heads for the front door, pulls the hood of his cloak up to hide his features and waits for the others to gather before venturing out into the cold again.
 

"Well, then, it seems we're headed right back into the cold," Darius said as he started the re-bundling process. "Which is just as good, I suppose. I wonder if there is something I can treat on Jarnath."

"I suppose it would be a good idea to know of the abilities of those we travel with. Myself, I'm a bit of a healer, always have been. Though now it seems there are a lot more wounds in need of being healed. I'm also a fair archer, though a better healer by far."
 

"Such a large group may draw undue attention, perhaps we should split up and convene at the old man's house."

Alhadrial turns to Miri, "Woman, is there a place we can sleep safely in this village? I fear what we might bring to your inn should we overstay our welcome here."

With that, Alhadrial readies himself to leave the inn, doing what he can to mask his elven features without making himself too warm in the thick furs.

"Darius, perhaps we can travel together and talk of missed opportunities and blessed reunions so as not to bore the others..." Alhadrial smiles with that and returns to the common room after hearing Miri's reply.
 

Alhadrial turns to Miri, "Woman, is there a place we can sleep safely in this village? I fear what we might bring to your inn should we overstay our welcome here."

"No need to worry yourself over it. You will be perfectly safe here and the inn will be none the worse for having you stay," Miri replies with a sly grin. "After you have spoken with Jarnath, come back here and I'll see that you get warm, comfortable and private rooms."
 

OOC:
Prior to going back into the common room, Kuknar will answer Darius....

IC:
The Dworg looks Darius over and nods. Moving his left hand to bring his axe forth, he brushes the dangling orc teeth tethered to the handle with his right hand. "I do my best to remove these teeth by any means necessary, but preferably after their previous owners have been slain by my axe. Beyond that, I have some skill with metal, but not as great as my uncle." With that he then heads to the common room in preparation to head back out into the cold. Once he is bundled and hearing the elf's suggestion, he heads out the door towards the mans house. Once there, he will wait for the others before knocking and speaking with Jarnath.
 

Dane Swift

Dane goes back into the common room and gulps down the rest of his drink before putting his furs back on and heading out to meet the others.

Everyone splits up for the trip across town to speak with the cobbler, save for Alhadrial and Darius who walk together.

By the time everyone has gathered at the modest Clandon home, the sun is within an hour of setting. A cold wind has kicked up and the slate gray sky is beginning to spit snow. The house is small, made of the limestone typical of most structures in the north and has a thatched roof. It looks fairly well kept, although the firewood stacked outside is tumbled into an unruly pile and half-dead weeds grow in the yard and along the sides of the house. The house looks to be a combination of private residence and small shop. A sign with a simple picture of a cobbler's hammer and shoe hangs next to the front door.

The front door is closed but not locked. Opening it, the room immediately behind is definitely a small shop. There is a rough wooden counter, behind which is a closed door. There are a couple of shelves with supplies stored in the room but it is obvious that the actual work is done somewhere else in the house. Calling out to see if someone is around is met with silence. Opening the door behind the counter, which is also unlocked, reveals a combination living area and workroom. There is a table with several cobbler's instruments and supplies on it, but no shoes. A wooden chair sits next to the table. Beyond the work area, a small living area can be seen. There is a fireplace, which is currently unlit. It is cold in the room, and each breath produces a cloud of mist. Next to the fire place is a rocking chair. Sitting in it is a man, obviously of Dornish descent. He appears to be in his early thirties. His black hair is unkempt, hanging around his face in a tangled mess. He is unshaven and doesn't appear to have bathed in a couple of weeks. He stares vacantly at the empty fireplace.

As the group is splitting up to leave, Elidur sidles up to his old friend Alhadrial, whispering [high elven]"Greetings, treebrother. Does it not seem strange that Miri seems unconcerned with you revealing your presence here, even to a brain-addled shoemaker? I'll admit that I'm a bit..."[/high elven] the Dorn trails off as Darius approaches, nodding to the wood elf. In parting, he turns once more to Alhadrial and gestures, [patrol sign]"Trap?"[/patrol sign] before leaving the inn on his own.

Is he breathing? Elidur thinks to himself as he crosses the room and tries tries to get a fire going. The Dorn looks back at Dane and cuts his eyes as well as nodding his head in the direction of the entranced cobbler.
