OOC: A request has been made to move up to two updates a week. Please indicate your posting preference along with your action for this week. Thanks.
The Inn
As Muzdum, Johen and Valen ponder the captain's offer of rank, William and Estelle approach, asking the captain to excuse them for a moment.
"Certainly, though my scouts and I will be departing for the stone quarry shortly. I will need to know your answer before we go."
Once Captain Pirren moves off to gather his scouts, William begins speaking in a low voice. The two Tureni men and the dwarf note that Estelle, already pale, looks uncomfortable as well.
"Estelle is afflicted with...something, and considers herself a danger to the group and the mission. I have pledged to help her find the source of her ailment and I fear that journey will take us away from the rest of you for a time. Good luck to you."
With that, William and Estelle venture out of the inn together.
The Castellan
OOC: The castellan only has standard potions.
As Aohdan is completing his business with the castellan, Alaric notices Corath, glancing first in his direction, then back toward a small tailor shop. She seems confused, perhaps even emotionally torn. Finally, she approaches abruptly, "I must ask to be excused from my pledge to protect you for a time. There are answers to the questions of my origins here and I must pursue them. I shall attempt to return to your side once my questions have been answered."
She turns again and heads rapidly toward the tailor shop.
Aohdan's head throbs for a moment...
The paper bird flies into shadow and a light shines down upon it, blinding, dispersing the shadow. When her vision clears, she is a living bird, twittering and soaring and free.

OOC: twice a week is good for me. and i prefer this as with the time difference, sometimes everything happens on the Wednesday leaving me as a spectator.
OOC2: did John notice anything particular about the equipment of the soldiers? What of the captain role and duties? thanks.
Johen is a bit puzzled by William words but he nods and wishes farewell to his companions. He is also happy to see the soldiers leave the inn.
He turns to the rest of the group: "Right.. I hope Estelle will feel better and that they will join us later on. I believe we should move on once Aohdan has come back from his shopping trip...
If he has a bit of time, Johen will go to see a blacksmith or a weapon merchant in town to enquire about the nature and origin of his dagger.

Alaric the Alchemist
Confused by Corath's leaving, Alaric wonders if he should stay in Vedlund or keep going. But then he remembers that he's got a mission to complete out in Silvergard, and can't really afford to wait around here.
Once he's done working on his alchemical and magical preparations, Alaric goes looking for the rest of the group, to see if they're ready to go on the next morning.
(ooc: I'd prefer twice a week as well, but I'd still stick around either way.)

OOC: Twice/week is great for me!
Valen ponders the captain's words. Do we actually have a leader? He doubted his superiors would approve of his taking on a military comission in a foreign country, yet this was merely honorary... "Captain, what duties would this honorary rank entail?"

Johen: Learning about the Dagger
The frontier community has a general blacksmith who creates arms, armor, and general supplies, primarily for the Lord's Guard. The blacksmith is a quiet fellow who notes Johen's approach with a wary eye. Upon seeing the black-bladed Dagger he harumphs, "The blade ain't metal, though it looks it. Made of Shadowstone...pretty rare stuff, said to have magical properties. I'm no gemcutter, but that red stone in the hilt isn't a ruby, I can tell you that."
Valen: Speaking to Captain Pirren
Pirren says, "It is an honorary rank only, often given to members of the Adventurer's Guild. It does provide placement points in the tournaments which are coming up next year."
Alaric, Aohdan, Muzdum, and Norali: Meanwhile...
While Valen speaks to Captain Pirren, Alaric and Aohdan return to the inn. Captain Pirren's scouts are waiting restlessly outside for their captain. Norali is busy putting her stark white hair up in a bun to keep it out of her face. As has been normal for her since the stone quarry, she is quiet and seems to carry a dark weight on her shoulders.
OOC: Unless you guys have other pressing matters to attend to, we'll head off for the mountains on Friday's update.
