[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 8117772, member: 7015827"] After waiting until nightfall on Ches 21 and having neither Rahnee nor Aerikoth appear, Shanni, Dermot and Darrow – most especially Shanni – were getting antsy. The petite rogue snapped a bit at Jandrico Swift as he politely inquired of them if there had been any word, while they occupied stools at the bar. Dermot, at least, took advantage of the situation by ordering three drinks appropriate for gulping. Darrow paid for his own beer and the ranger got himself a slug of spirits; Shanni declined, believing it would not be good for her mood. Jandrico, tactful as ever, moved to the inn’s common room, leaving the three alone. As they debated what to do in the absence of their two companions, a City Watchman entered the bar room, brushing some rain from his outer garment. He inquired if they were “Helm’s Shadows”, a fact which Dermot confirmed, although seemingly halfheartedly. The watchman, who was apparently glad to get in out of the storm, but somewhat taken aback by Shanni’s grumpiness, stammered out that Watch Commander Meynn had sent him to give the company an update. He explained that the magistrate in charge of Lady Roaringhorn's situation had not recovered yet and was perhaps even a little worse. Shanni muttered that the magistrate should stop drinking, then he’d get over the hangover, which earned a chuckle from Darrow and a raised eyebrow from Dermot. The last part of Meynn’s message, however, warned them to be on their guard and invited them to come to the Tower in the morning. Dermot said that they acknowledged the message. The ranger, taking sympathy on the beleaguered watchman, then offered him a healthy swig from his flask, as Jandrico had apparently left the building and was not available to provide any drinks. The watchman in gratitude offered his name – Jomo – and said to ask for him at the Tower if they needed anything. Shanni merely humphed in reaction as Jomo departed. A few minutes later, a wet-looking Jandrico took up his usual position behind the bar. He asked what news was there from the Watch, mentioning that he had passed the watchman going and coming. Dermot shared that the magistrate was “ill” again, which did not seem to surprise the innkeeper. Jandrico informed them that he had made some inquiries about Rahnee’s situation and hoped to receive some information on the morrow. This did nothing for Shanni’s impatience, but her two companions philosophically decided to drink and speculate more, before turning in upstairs. [/QUOTE]
