[QUOTE="Deuce Traveler, post: 3895238, member: 34958"] [b]The 25th of Yearsend Month, 5:41 AM[/b] The young man thanks Bobbaros, and he and the two guards come inside and out of the cold. Time speeds by as the house becomes a flurry of activity, with spell slingers preparing their components, trap springers checking their tools, and the muscle of the party putting on their armor and scabbards. In under twenty minutes the party is ready to go and follows the banner-carrying guards and the young herald through the frigid streets of Ptolus. They move west towards the Nobles District, while the lad blows a trumpet on occasion to announce the group's passing. It would have been quite embarrassing if not for the solemness of the moment and the fact that the teenager takes it all so seriously. Eventually you reach the Nagel Estate, one of the simpler of the Noble Houses. Although small by the standards of its neighbors, it is still much larger than your own home in Ptolus. It has a modest yard surrounded by a low stone fence. It is a two-story home of brick, although it is quite spacious horizontally. A lone guard somehow manages to give your strange group both a displeased stare and a respectful salute as the two banner holders pass his position. You are led into the home, to the first left of a spacious corridor, and a second left into a comfortable but cramped library that your party pours into. The young man closes the door behind you and stares at a wizened figure of a man seated in a recliner and half-gumming, half-puffing at a pipe of tobacco as he examines you. In his right hand he holds a cane, which he thumps on the ground solidly twice and exclaims boisterously, [color=yellow]"Ho lads! We got visitors, how nice! Would one of you like a mint?"[/color] The young man clears his throat in embarrassment. [color=white][b]"Mr. Yarek, sir, these are the people you said to bring. You know, your friend Verosh and his companions. You asked to bring them here so you could speak with them. About the murder, sir."[/b][/color][b][/b] Yarek Nagel stares into space for a moment while puffing furiously at his pipe.
