Jt'trialaila quickly reappears with the map. As beautiful as ever. "Here is a map of the city, Sir Xavier" She gives Xavier the map. Xavier can notice her hand slightly shaking as it approaches his. As soon as Xavier touch the map she quickly removes her hand, trying her best not to touch his. She then looks at him and while sligthly bowing says "I am ready to go, Sir Xavier".

Xavier breathes a sigh of releif when Jt'trialaila leaves. He carefully closes the door and leans against it for a moment to gather his wits. After a moment he straightens up and looks around the room.
I should get out of this gear. He holds out his arms and considers the intricate needlework. It is magnificant ... but the only one I've got. For a moment he wonders what it would be like to be as rich as that merchant he met that morning. Nice, he concludes, but he wouldn't swap places with the man for the world. I am a Roces!
Eventually he decides to wear his fine outfit for the rest of the day, then get it cleaned while he is away in Pruman. He considers putting on his breastplate, but ultimately decides against that too. Instead he settles on washing his face and hands in the bowl of chilly water beside the bed, and adding his longsword to his belt.
While he waits for Jt'trialaila to return, he roots around the room until he finds a sheet of paper and a pen. Upon it he makes some simple notes. He doesn't write down anything he wouldn't want anyone else to see, just the names of the people he has met and promised to try and visit so far. Once he's done, he tucks the sheet away in a pocket and spends the rest of the time enjoying the view from the window.
He decides that on his way out of the castle he will stop by the stables to check on Sanfraneadal, and collect Oa.

Xavier finally leaves towards the stable with, Jt'trialaila. The two of them slowly approaches the beautifull stables of the baron. Xavier is rejoice to know that Sanfraneadal will spent his days in Mornonas in such a impeccable facility. When he approaches his horse he is impressed by the size of the area reserved for each horse. He also notices the large quantity of food. Outside he sees a large area where each days, all the horses are allowed to exercise. Oa who was sleeping in front of Sanfraneadal quarter is eating a large piece of meat. When he sees Xavier he stands up and greet him (like a dog).
Jt'trialaila initially seems scared by the dog, but Xavier quickly reassures her, she smiles back at him all red.
They both leave the castle passing in front of the two large soldiers at the entrance and enter the city richest area. They walk for a little while not seeing the time go, discussing about various mundane topics.
As they approaches the steep slope leading to the port area, Jt'trialaila looks at Xavier and says "Normally, I wouldn't go here normaly but being with you for some strange reason I am not scared" She then takes his arm and closes a bit on him, still staying very cortous.
Then they both heads towards the port. They both really stand out in the port. Most people here are poor folk, sailors, adventurer. A few very rich merchant work in the area but don't live there. Most sailor gives Jt'trialaila a looks, saying displaced comment about her beauty. You both quickly go through the crowd. You are block for a few minutes by a small group of soldiers boarding orc prisoner of war in a large galleon bearing the colors of the king.
Pushed from all side you quickly leaves the area. You finally made it to the stairs leading back up to the industrial sector. "What do you say, we circle the whole place next time, it will be a bit longuer but we will be more at ease to continue our discussions."
You both finally get to Vilral street. You are about 500 ' from the temple when you recognises the young Conrad standing near a wall with two soldier of the king on his side. The two soldier bears the insigna of the 82nd special force unit and don't look like the average young militian or soldier.
Xavier is surprised to see that the church is located in an heavily industrialised area.

Jasper, Oculus, Solomon, Dai, Karn, Jraq and Trolm all get their equipment ready. As Solomon and Dai disguises themselves as wizards it's hard not to laugh. While the cloths are impeccable their look doesn't cut it. Uncle Joe beleives that if they walk through the residential section of town instead of the port they should made it fairly easily.
OOC Tell me how you prepared your equipment.
The groups leaves the house one after the other and walk through the less crowded street of the residential area.
This area is occupy by the average citizen of Mornonas. The street are fairly clean and the appt building and single houses share the area. Very few people are walking down the street at this time. The group crosses a patrol, but seeing four wizards with a three soldiers they don't ask any questions. They spend a few second looking at Solomon, probably thinking what an odd wizards. They all makes it fairly easily in front of the temple. Jasper, Jraq and Trolm stay in the street waiting for Xavier to arrive. The others hid in a side street.
Solomon and Oculus (roll spot Oculus 19+3, Solomon 14+7, Dai 6 +2,Jasper 3+1)are pretty sure someone is watching them in the crowd, they saw a few people in the street which seemed to act strangely.
Trolm tells Jasper to be carefull as he beleived they are observed.
Jasper sees Xavier, unarmored and with a lady on his arm obviously unaware of the danger he is facing appears on Vilral street a few feets in front of them. All around them the various industry seems incredibly active, heavy smoke can be seen from all the large chimney surrounding them.

"Master Conrad. It is most generous of you to make your time available.
"This is Jt'trialaila of the Baron's Household staff*. She kindly agreed to accompany me to see that I didn't get into any bother.
Xavier glances in the direction of the two soldiers, but leaves it up to Jasper as to whether he introduces them or not. Although it is fairly obvious he is curious as to why Master Conrad is travelling with two members of the Baron's armed forces.
"What a disagreeable neighbourhood this is," he concludes, frowning at the ugly factories surrounding the church. "Shall we have a look inside the church?"
ooc: * or whatever the appropriate title is.

Solomon Kreel
Seeing that Trolm and Jraq are traveling with them, Solomon asks them to carry his armor and weapons. Once they arrive at the front of the temple, Solomon knows the time has come to act. He takes one look at the dandied, unarmored embassary of the church, with an elven lady on his arm, and rolls his eyes. Sheep to the slaughter. He ignores the newcomers and speaks in a low but forceful voice to his companions.
"We are being watched. As we know, the black network has many eyes and ears. We must act quickly, as time is not on our side. Let's move around the back of the temple, there is another entrance there." Solomon grabs his sheathed greatsword from Jraq, and straps it on. Then grabs his chain shirt as they walk, intending to put it on as soon as they are out of the view of most watchers. He glances up nervously at the tower where he was hit by arrows. Was that only yesterday?

Jasper Conrad
Jasper speaks quietly after Trolm's warning. "This is Jraq and Trolm, two of my trusted friends. This isn't a good location to talk, but, before we go in, I want to warn you that this church is not a safe place." Jasper frowns at Jt'trialaila. "There was violence in the streets here yesterday, and the one's that started it were hiding inside. I'm not sure if they are still here, but be on your guard."
After he finishes speaking, Jasper turns toward the church, clearly intending to go in without further discussion.

Xavier Roces, Servant of Heironeous.
Xavier goes quiet and still as Jasper speaks.
"A moment please Master Conrad," he says as Jasper turns.
Xavier stares at the church in silence for a moment. He would like to know more, but Jasper seems reluctant to speak of it out in the open. But judgeing from the two companions he has chosen, it would seem Master Conrad thinks it was more than some petty fisticuffs.
But what does he know of Master Conrad really? The young man seemed genuinely concerned about events in Pruman. He also seemed less than happy with the Baron's response. The Baron, Xavier suspects, would have his fair share of adversaries. If Master Conrad was looking for a way to gain influence over the Baron, then Xavier may have just bitten off more than he can chew.
Xavier considers it for a moment. He doesn't get the feeling that Master Conrad is setting them up for something.
Of course, it could all be nothing. The Baron said that the church was empty. If it had become a hiding place for troublemakers, Xavier feels that the Baron would have heard about it. The Baron seemed to keep a very tight grip on his city.
Bringing Jt'trialaila wasn't the best idea, in hindsight. But he didn't know that at the time, and there was no point crying over spilt milk. Of course, he could simply return with her to the castle and come back here later. But it seems a bit of an over reaction really.
Xavier considers the square outside the church. It all seems peacefull enough. Perhaps there is somewhere I can leave Jt'trialaila. Although I will not leave her alone. He scans the square and surrounding streets for the City Watch.
"Jt'trialaila. If you would prefer, I will find some of the City Watch and have them wait out here with you, or even escort you back to the castle if you would prefer that."

Oculus hangs back a bit, giving the impression he's not part of the group, but just a local or passerby.
