The Four Lands - The Great North

Jaroth

Jaroth says to the Goodwife. "I too shall need a teaball, Goodwife. And that will complete my purchase. What is the total I owe you?"

Jaroth pays the Goodwife.

When Bertrand points out the onlookers, Jaroth cocks an eyebrow and takes a look. Mentally assessing his belongings, he waits for the others to complete their business and readies to leave.

Vadric purchases the tea, and picks out a simple teapot and cup set of brass, to better hold against the rigors of the sea voyage. At Bertrand's words, the knight glances out the window.

"Ah yes, well if thieves choose to attack us, I assure you that they will feel the righteous vengeance of the light visited upon their souls. I am quite sure, though, that we are safe in our current numbers."

Amster

In response to Jaroths Question the clerk replies "Tis no better or worse than any seaport especially at night. They generally dont bother us trade folk as drunken sailors are easier pickings and dont bring down the city watch" She the continues addressing Jaroth "That will be 4 gold and 5 silvers please good sir" as she hands him his package.

The party quickly settels their accounts and exit the shop, which is closed behind them. It now close to 9 pm and the tempature is dropping to a comfortable level. Walking back down the steet a small parish church is spotted, the doors to it's sanctuary open and soft loft coming from the doorway. Several people are seen going in and out of the building and appear to be mostly sailor types.

Bertrand

Keeping a close eye out for trouble, Bertrand nods to the church. "I would like to stop in here briefly gentlemen." He enters and performs the rituals then looks around for a place to light a candle for his wife and perhaps talk briefly with a priest.

 

[Rath Lorien]

If there is a service in progress then Anniston will join in. Otherwise, he walks around the chapel, admiring the art and meditating on the message and stories represented. Then he kneels in a pew and prays.

 

[Dracomeander]

Finnian enters the church with the others looking toward the altar and watching the people in attendance. He wanders around the perimeter of the sanctuary viewing the architecture and artwork of this particular church. He will finally find a spot to kneel silently offering prayers for the health of the Duke and guidance for his own fallible self. When finished, he will lift his voice in a song of praise to the Light using all the gifts of his trade and the passion of his faith.

 

[Canaan]

Jaroth follows his new friends into the church out of respect to them and their beliefs. Like Finnian, he admires the art and architecture. He acts as one does who is in polite company and does not seek to offend. If everyone is kneeling and praying, he will kneel and bow his head down to meditate.

The party enters the small parish church and finds it to be so typical of that found in poor parishes everwhere. The main altar area is small, perhaps large enough to 30 people with a small side altar or rememberance which is coverd by numerous candles and the odd small oil latern. A yougish priest is can be seen cleaning the altars and pews, the scent of lemon and orange oil filling the room. A few older ladies are also helping him. No service is being conducted other than a sailor or two asking the priests blessing before the altart as they prepare to ship out. The small church has the air about it of long neglect finally being put right.

 

[Scotley]

Bertrand

He drops a gold coin in the collection box. Then, making his way to the rememberance, Bertrand takes out a thick candle about three inches tall. It is a rosy red color and smells of roses. A stylized letter 'T' is impressed in the wax. He places it on the altar and lights it. He prays or perhaps just talks to someone who isn't there. He watches the candle burn for a few moments and then turns away to talk to one of the priests. "Could I have a moment of your time?"

When approached by Bertrand, the young priest stops his cleaning and in reponse to Bertrands question say "why of course you may"
