[WoT Adventure] Turn 2 - Back at the Inn

He also wants to know how the Trollocs got not just into the city, but also into the inn's stable, without being spotted. He doesn't know how smart they are, but he's going to look for any of the usual thief signs. Forced locks, telltale footprints, missing or moved objects. Pedron just doesn't believe creatures that size can sneak into a shed without leaving a trace.

OOC: is this were you give the great dane a scooby snack, and say jinkies? sorry, I just thought that was getting to sound like the Scooby Doo mysteries. My sense of humor is sort of odd.

[OOC: Yikes! I guess I entirely missed the tone I was aiming for, that of a thief looking for signs of his fellows' work. I'd rewrite it, but now that that image is in your head, there's no way my meager writing skills will get it out.]
 

Noble Alone

Watching the others leave, part of him is curious to see what they will find. Let the commoners do the dirty work. It is their place. I shall sit here and wait for their report. I don't hear anyone else making merry. I bet that Innkeeper has stolen my coins. Hmmm...

Lord Tomas looks around for any tables where people might be gambling, the recent unpleasantness out of his mind.
 

Jain Hadlin

One, two, three......One, two, Three.......One, two....Ah bloody well forget! My hearts just not in it tonight. Burn me, but i'm never going to get any sleep tonight! Jain stops his exercises. He's been putting a lot into them tonight and is covered in sweat but it just isn't enough to quite his mind and allow him to sleep.

I just can't get past it flamen' trollocs in Caemlyn, it's not safe anywhere these days. I wounder if this has any thing to do with that bloody false dragon, Logain. I wish there was something i could do to help, but what? Jain washes up and changes into clean clothes.

well i suppose i may as well head back down stairs and see if a little food and some warm milk will help me rest.

Jain heads back to the common room in search of food and drink.

Pedron comes along, curious as to what they might find in the shed, the stable, or the innyard. He intends to search the shed, at least, thoroughly, sifting through every inch of it with Ashrem's help. <Cue Take 20, cooperative>

The lock on the back of the shed was pretty clearly forced -- or rather, ripped off the wall. If the inn had been less crowded, you probably would have heard it. There are two sets of boot prints, and a pair of oversize goat-like hoof prints, though the former seem too large for a man and the latter far too large for a goat (and in a group of two instead of four). They lead straight outside, and it's not far too the field where you fought the other two trollocs from there.

But other than the clear signs of a forced entry, it's a perfectly ordinary shed.

When people are done asking Master Ferrin questions, Lord Tomas pulls five silver marks out and places them into Master Ferrin's hand. "Ale for everyone in the common room until that runs out, if you please, Master Ferrin. In celebration of our victory and celebration that no one was killed."

[OOC: that should pay for 2.5 gallons of ale at base cost.]

... which turns out to be about two 1-pint mugs of ale for every man in the inn, some of whom raise a mug to thank your generosity. Since you returned with Sirene, the mood in the inn has almost returned to the cheerful state it was in before the trollocs appeared, especially now that the Guards have carted away the trolloc corpse.
 

Not long after Yuri, Ashrem, and Pedron finished searching the shed, Lila Sedai came down to the common room again <although none of you know she's Aes Sedai, and only Yuri strongly suspects that she is, it's easier for me to write Lila Sedai every time>. She ordered a glass of wine, and sat down next to Yuri.
 

Ashrem stood out on the front porch of the inn. From the sounds of laughter inside, it seemed the mood had picked up again. He leaned against a post and sipped a mug of ale as he watched people walk by. So many people. All to see this....Logain.

He wandered where it was the trollocs where running to. Just running to get away from them, or to a specific destination. He considered asking Yuri and Pedron to go with him to investigate, but desided it would be best to wait till morning. He had had enough excitement for one night.

Listening to the sounds of joy from inside he wondered if one of the girls would dance with him. No you fool. That line of thought could be more dangerous than scouting for trollocs. Best to leave them alone. Better to go off chasing trollocs in the night.

Pedron grunts at the lack of results. At least it looks like Trollocs are no good as thieves. He wonders whether someone at the inn could track the Trollocs to where they came from. He had spent a lot of time on the backroads between Lugard and Caemlyn, trying to escape an expert at tracking, but that had only served to teach him how little he knew about following people by the signs they left behind. He hadn't managed to truly hide his passage until the towns became common and the travelers many, although he had certainly tried. That is one skill he clearly still needs to learn.

Well, Pedron hopes the thief-taker's not anywhere nearby, but there is another Borderlander who must know a thing or two about tracking. He wanders into the inn's common room, and takes a seat not too far from Yuri. He doesn't want to disturb his conversation with the Andoran woman, especially if she has any connection with the two women who can channel. He's not at all reluctant to listen in, however, although he tries not to be too obvious. Meanwhile, he takes advantage of Tomas's generosity.

Light! Here we go...

"I assume you know who I am? I believe I know who you are, or at least where you're from. I'm not going back, not unless one of you gives me a straight answer about Tasha...or you wrap me up like a package and take me with you."

Edit: It should be noted that Yuri says all this very politely, but firmly about not going back to the Tower.
