Evelyn held a stern look as she eyed down every participant in the brawl. It wasn't the fact that they were fighting but that they chose to fight in Thanermere of all places and only add to the chaos of the chicken infestation. Taking a few deep breaths she calmed herself as she examined the full damage of the mess hall. Fortunately only a few chairs and a table had been broken of thrown out of place, however a good amount of ale had been spilt with some kegs being smashed. [color=fff79a][b]"You all are going to clean this entire hall. You will not sleep until it is spotless and if come morning I see anything out of place there will be severe consequences"[/b][/color], Evelyn eyed Bartuc as he was carried out by Ruinil, he'd be dealt with later. 

Scholar Printh had entered the mess hall soon after and an instant look of horror came upon his face as he eyed the aftermath of the fight. [b]"Captain Sunderland, I hope you and your men plan to repair these damages"[/b], his voice was calm but it was clear he was holding back a great amount of anger as he shooed away some chickens who pecked at his shoes. [color=fff79a][b]"I've dealt with the problem, Sir Printh, you'd best get some rest as I'm sure today has been tiring for you. My apologies once again for such trouble"[/b][/color]. The elderly scribe shook his head as he walked away to his room. As for Evelyn she glared at the men one last time, a signal for them to get to work, before heading to the library section of Thanermere. It was her hope that there she'd learn more about this Dead God and perhaps how to stop him, either that or how to remove all these chickens from the halls.

Evelyn delved deep into as many books as she could carry. Tomes from the first era all the way to modern times yet she found no mention of Sar'than. It was when she thought back to the interrogation did she have a breakthrough. The cultist stated that the Dead God was existant before man arrived on Miras. Perhaps he did exist then but even if he was as old as the first era he was never mentioned despite possessing such power. Then perhaps he existed then just not on Miras, perhaps he'd been the cause of man's arrival on Miras? Perhaps Sar'than had driven them from their ancient homeland. It was there that the Knight-Captain found what she'd been searching for, deep in the archives of Thanermeres vast libraries, a tome written from the time of the First Men's arrival on Miras. The text was written from the perspective of one of the priests of the old gods when the first ships of man landed on Miras. It wrote, [i]For so long we've traveled the seas I know not how long we've been at its mercy. Upon first sight many cried out in joy for the gods hath given us a new home, far from land we no longer cam call home for tis a land unfit for the living. The heavens had been greyed upon our arrival on land, the gulls called over head as waves crashed on the strange new sands...Our lords dared not to settle by sea for fear of what we left would return. Inward into this new world we ventured, the blessing of the gods with us, until we saw them. Strange people, ears pointed like arrow tips, taller than mere men, and speaking a strange tongue...Blades were bloodied shortly after, these demons must be removed from power over this land[/i].

It was still unclear if Sar'than was the cause but after reading the account it gave Evelyn confidence in her theory. If she was right then this threat was not something the order alone could handle. By morning's first light she'd send crows to the other northern forts. The North would have to hold back the enemy, buy Evelyn and her men time to rally the kingdoms to their aid. For now though she'd rest, the journey here was long and painful and the young captain had begun to feel the strain of the journey. Unfortunately for her, the once harmless chickens had begun to change into geese, flying at anyone they saw Evelyn's anger began to rise again. [color=fff79a][i]"Whoever is doing this is going to pay"[/i][/color], she thought to herself she began to traverse the halls of Thanermere, fending off mad geese the entire time. At one point she could here the growling of a bear and figured Henry might need help getting these geese to back off. Searching for the origin of the growl, Evelyn noticed it was coming from the staircase leading down to the cellar. Carefully making sure she didn't slip on an egg, Evelyn ventured down to investigate, eventually coming upon Henry fighting off a gaggle of geese as Cythlla performed some kind of ritual. [color=fff79a][b]"Ah, I see you are working to deal with our bird situation"[/b][/color], Evelyn seemed unnaturally cheery as she said that but her tone quickly changed when she spoke again, [color=fff79a][b]"That's good because once your done with this you'll be on watch duty on the battlements"[/b][/color]. Without another word, Evelyn marched back upstairs and to her room where she herded the chickens inside out. Once she was finally alone she removed her armor and prepared herself a bath. Tonight was really getting to her and some time to herself was desperately needed.
