The Bold Adventures of Poins--On the Town

[Rhialto]

Faulker looks at Graevel agonized. This is a man whose soul is in torment.

"I do not deny this--bloodletting was--excessive. But I suspect Guy knows this as well, in his heart. And try and see it from his eyes. A woman--an outsider--tries to cheer the men's spirits with a song about a bastard fighting for his inheritance against a cousin who opposes him--a bastard who won, against all odds?"

He looks at the ground. "It strikes--close to home."

 

[Ranger Rick]

Alan in the background mindlessly shrugs his shoulders in agreement as he over hears this.

Weel makes for a tent a little ways off, hopefully out of the immediate view of their leader's own, and if he can catch anyone to ask, says "Pardon, but my companions and I have just joined the army, and we're looking to find ourselves some beds here in the barracks. Is there a process arranged for that?"

An older solider stops chewing the bit of bitterweed in his mouth, and spits it out. "Go see Granthus at the Emporium in the outer camp for a tent. Then come here, and set it up." He glares at the recruits. "And don't do it in a spot any of the rest of us have taken--got it?"
With that he turns away.

"They do like to keep us moving, you have to say that for the True Emporer's Army," Weel quips, heading back out to the outer camp.

OOC: Is the outer camp the same as the town-like area we passed through with the woman and her amulets? If it is, then Weel's also going to look for a place to sell the sword and wand he got off the goblin. If not, he'll probably head out to do that once they have the tent set up.

 

[Bloodcookie]

Caradoc also heads for the outer camp.

 

[Rhialto]

OOC: Correct--the outer camp is the quasi-town that's built up around the soldiers, collecting all the hanger-ons, camp followers, and the like the Army of the True Emperor has attracted.

As the re-enter the bustle of the camp, a little Wood Goblin approaches them, holding a large cart of foodstuff--what looks like thin rolls of breading. He waves one around on a fork. "Fried spider legs! Fried spider legs! Fricasseed in venom! Delicious, nutrious--a Wood Goblin favorite! Fried spider legs!" He glances at the recruits. "Want some? It's something you'll never forget!"

Several of the ogres and rather wild Nibelungen are approaching the cart.

While intrigued by the offering, Graevel will pass it by.

 

[jkason]

Weel does his best polite smile and begs off.

"Not today, thank you. But we're looking for the Emporium. Could you perhaps point the way?"

 

[Ranger Rick]

Alan looks on waiting to hear the directions.
