Gladesdale
A place to rest for the weary.
The dwarf definitely takes notice of the extra gold piece and nods at Kuori. "Aye, two hot baths coming right up." The dwarf turns and opens a drawer behind the desk and fishes out two keys to hand to Kuori. "If you need anything else, just ask for Thanon and I'll make sure you're taken care of."
When Kuori and and Revenge check on their rooms, they find they're on the second floor right across from each other. The rooms themselves are luxurious and Kuori's room in particular seems to be specifically designed for her people with an oversized bed and extra large pieces of furniture. Before long, maids arrive with a large tub for each room and fill them with piping hot water. The two adventurers are then left to relax, but not before they are invited to attend the buffet going on at noon for lunch.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The rest of morning passes uneventfully. The sounds of vendors selling the goods and wagons passing can be heard down on the main street from the windows of the room, intermingled with the sounds of birds singing from the nearby trees. The weather is warm and the place overall quite relaxing and it's easy to see why this quaint little town is a tourist hot spot. However, when Revenge and Kuori descend to the front floor, it is immediately made aware to their keen eyes that something is amiss.
Several town guards who were participating in the buffet are hurriedly approached by another guard who is quite pale in the face. There is an exchange in words and the other guards all stand up and make for the door. They are not running, but their moment is swift and purposeful. ((A perception check can be rolled to overhear their conversation.)) The other patrons in the dining area notice the guards leave, but continue to go about eating their lunch without much further thought. |

Abby's Boutique
A place for the strange and wondrous!
In Abby's Boutique, the morning is busy but passes uneventfully. Several sales are made and Valac is hit on by middle aged ladies more than once. However, as noon rolls around, the customers thin out as they go to lunch. It as this point Abby decides to close the store. "Well, everyone, good job today. Valac, I think you even got some new personal admirers, hehe. Nonetheless, I'm closing the store early today to take care of some personal matters, so you all have the rest of the day off! I'll see you all tomorrow morning, when I'll have an interesting task for you all, but until then you all enjoy the rest of the day."
Abby hurries everyone out of the store and hangs up a sign saying "Closed" in common, dwarvish and elven. However, she leaves the front door open and takes a seat behind her counter where she can be seen from the door. It's almost as if she is waiting for someone.
Once outside, Twyla, Valac and Lavandar see an unusual sight for Gladesdale. A large group of soldiers can be seen moving down the road in a hurried, purposeful manner. Their faces look grim and determined. They continue on down the road until they turn down a residential street. Something is clearly amiss.

Earlier...
"The timing was bad," Revenge would say to Kuori, his tail twitching once in annoyance as he took a few moments to think of that response. He hadn't been absent from her company long enough to have had to search the entire town, so hopefully she'd be able to piece two and two together.
"I'll try again later," was all he would say further about the matter.
--------------------
The present...
Revenge had thought about declining the bath, but he did just spend several days on the road to reunite with Halima; he made it a quick one. If worse came to worse, he was a Charisma-based paladin and he didn't want circumstance penalties to his attack rolls.
He spent most of the time afterwards staring out the window, keeping an eye on danger. He spent most of the time mentally arguing with himself if he was just being paranoid, or he was refusing to repeat a past mistake. He would soon make his way downstairs at the smell of food, though only for something quick to eat; he'd head out right after.
He'd leave his armor and halberd in his room, because this was civilization, and he was civilized. He would, however, retain his longsword at his side, because he was still an adventurer. In his left hand, he'd carry the broken hilt of that sword he had been given back in Lupa. Beyond that, all he had on him was his nice clothes, his holy symbol, and his coin.
When he got down to the first floor, he saw that one guard approach the others and

Kuori had meant the bath to just be for her red skinned friend, but upon eyeing the mud caked on her calf since Lupa, she decided that it would be a good idea. The Goliath was not as civil as her friend, being raised in a cave does that to you. She was half naked by the time she got to her door. Not like there was much to see beneath her armor, her muscled body didn't have much in the way of breast and what she had in that department was wrapped in tight cloth that was probably white at some point in time.
What it did show a lot of however was her tattooes. The bits poking out on her neck and arms were nothing compared to the stripes on her body. They seemed to turn into pictures of spiders in tribal art fashion. the legs spanning out over her body and down her arms, forming the lightning bolt like pattern twisting around her arms and the smooth lines ending in sharp points on her neck and face.
She was actally a little excited for the bath, and as soon as she was inside she dumped the armor on the floor and kicked the door closed. Her bow and quiver were placed gently on the bed as she continued to disrobe. Her boots, hide skirt, underwear, socks, and the chest wrap came off and the Goliath sank into the tub of water, melting.
Some time passed, some bones popped, some moaning happened, some worries were forgotten.
Kuori climbed out of the tub, the water a dingy brown and some mud at the bottom now. She fished through her bag for some fresh undergarments and donned her armor once again. Unlike her companion, life had taught her not to worry about being civil. Not like she had other clothes anyways. She grabbed her bow and headed down for food.
Trouble always comes when you are tired or hungry.

Gladesdale
A place to rest for the weary.
Twyla, Valac and Lavander quite easily follow the town guards. Their pace is quick but nowhere near running, as if perhaps they seek to avoid drawing too much attention to themselves. Townsfolk and tourists alike notice the large group of town guards moving by, but they don't do anything but stare curiously at them for a moment or two. You get the feeling the people in town feel quite safe and secure here. The only people who appear worried are the guards on the march. The guards also don't seem to notice or care that they are being followed by the trio of adventures. They must have more pressing matters on their minds.
From the main road through town, the guards turn down a road called Lake Street. As the road winds on, the vendor stalls disappear and the buildings become smaller and less grand in appearance. Few if any tourists are in this area as the buildings appear to be the residences of local townsfolk. Among these homes, one sticks out in particular. In appearance, it is but a plain, one story house. What stands out about it are the dozen or so guards surrounding the place. The group of guards trailed by the adventurers approaches one of the other guards who must have the person in charge of the operation and talks with him for a moment. They then join in with the rest of the guards surrounding the house.
((To be clear, the group of guards followed by Twyla, Lavander, and Valac are different than the group currently leaving the Red Lion.)) |
