Haplo
Haplo starts carrying cold water from the well to the bath tub. As his is pouring his second bucketful, he notices that there's a large red-colored metal plate attached to the bath tub.
The elf whose hair is being cleaned leans his head slightly so he can see Haplo.
"We were part of a group sent off to the outside in hopes of destroying a group of weak undead. We got ambushed by a vampire that, while we weren't able to slay it, we forced to retreat. My companion and I were seriously injured and before the group's dwarven cleric could get to checking up on us, a group of undead wolves came upon the group.
For good and bad, we were thought dead. Our comrades left us behind, but the wolves went after them. While I don't have high respect for the group's leader, I hope they didn't get eaten by the pack.
We finally managed to get back to the Valley after days of wandering around as neither of us is apt at overland navigation."
During the explanation, Haplo has managed to fill the tub with water.
Durban, Horros
Just after the two leave the Coin's Edge, two men-at-arms enter it. They don't seem in any special hurry, more propably just heading for a drink after serving duty.
Only a faint hint of the sun can be seen over the mountain range surrounding the Valley, making everything seem more foreboding and threatening that it actually is. The two start strutting towards the mayor's household
Durban only
Not more than a score of paces after leaving the inn, the psion's psicrystal speaks in his mind with a hurried voice.
Durban! There are sounds of fighting coming from the bath room! I only hear some subdued crashes and a few faint screams every few seconds. Get in here, quick!
Lorcan
As Lorcan is finishing his meal, two man-at-arms come in from the door. They stop after stepping in and eye everybody in the room, proceeding to move over to the counter after a moment. One of them waves one of the elven barmaids over.
