Very nice. I like the slow and steady start. Now that we are all assembled, let me make a speech and start off the formalities.

Incidentally, do not forget your abilities and skills. At any point, no matter where you are or in what situation, should you require to Search or Spot or Scout or Pickpocket or whatever, you can. Just end your post with an OOC like so: Lord Torin decides to Search the crowd. After this, I will roll the die and give apt responses.

Will have a post up soon.
