Smashed World, Part II

Durban

"I wonder who our 'common friend' is," Durban ponders as he pokes through the additional food. Carefully he sets aside the meat and eats the potatoes and vegetables after scraping off as much of the brown sauce as possible. "Would anyone care for this portion? I try to avoid meat consumption when possible."

 

[Dalamar]

Wohoo! My turn to *bump*
Seriously, this is right now leaning heavily on the four of you, I'll chime in when the need comes

"I was wondering the same thing. I don't like people called 'common friends', that I don't know." Horros looks at the food, "Well as long as it's free, and wouldn’t want it to go to waste."

Durban slides his excess food to Horros.

"I suppose we can talk about it here," Durban says, "as long as we're quiet. As you know, the mayor's daughter is under some kind of threat of assassination and 'we' are volunteered to look out for her well-being.

"Assuming you want in, Haplo, we'll guard her through the night at her manor - it's quite palatial. I thought you bat companion would make an excellent guard for the garden," Durban says with a smile.

"My stay thus far has been uneventful, and I am unacustomed to spending long days in the city. However, the chaos that would ensue if the assassination is successful may put us under the public eye. I am sure that the help will be more than welcome, and that Tserof would love to be outside again. How long will she need us? "

"According to a man I overheard at the city gate, the ceremony is tomorrow."

Durban takes a moment to attune himself to his psicrystal, to see if it has anything disturbing to report.

Durban
A moment passes before Durban manages to establish connection. Then the psicrystal's voice echoes in his mind.
The young lady just went to the dressing room and I can't see her... wait, I hear running water, she must be preparing a bath for herself.

 

[Zack2216]

After I finish my meal, I wil make my way to the bathes.
"I am sure you can fill me in on the rest once we assume our posts."

 

[Howling Coyote]

Just before Haplo leaves for his bath, "Be careful not to get too comfortable. A warm bath after a meal can make you quite sleepy."

 

[Dalamar]

Haplo
A quick question leads Haplo towards the baths. A short hallway leads off from the main room and ends in a door on which a plate reading 'Men's turn' hangs.
Inside the druid finds four large bath tubs, each could propably hold two persons if they didn't mind mingling their legs or cranping up slightly, and a well in the middle of the room for water.
Each of the tubs is located in one of the corners of the rectangular room and has a low table next to them. In the one to Haplo's right, two elves sit, the other rubbing dryed mud and blood off the other's hair. The other tubs are empty.

Others
In one of the tables, a human and a dwarf look ready to start a fist fight, both already standing up, but then the human dozes off. Apparently he had had too much to drink already. The dwarf graps the human's half-empty mug and downs it before sitting back down and ordering one more.
