Orchid frowned, the mayor's big words mostly going over his head, but he figured out that Orchid wasn't going to get new weapons and armor. The mayor mentioned the Castellan, who Orchid remembered as the dwarf who was not a chef. Apparently he might have something for Orchid. [color=a2d39c]"Okay."[/color] Orchid said simply as he left the governor to find the Castellan, Escobert as Orchid soon remembered, figuring that he was also probably barking at the soldiers somewhere in the keep. Orchid could see the halls filled with soldiers, many of them stripping off their equipment. The burden of armor and weapons was a great one, and stripping it would be a much needed relief for these soldiers. All the more telling that Orchid actually sought to don armor instead.

Eventually Orchid would find Escobert among the throe of soldiers carrying out duties to help the village and maintain the keep. [color=a2d39c]"Escobert!"[/color] The half-orc shouted, jumping into the air and waving at the dwarf. The commotion caused some of the soldiers to make a path for Orchid, perhaps out of respect for the stranger, or just because he was a weirdo and no one wanted to deal with him right now. [color=a2d39c]"Escobert! Nighthill say you have weapon and armor. Orchid need to fight evil."[/color] As Orchid made his way towards the dwarf he figured that if he explained his reasons why he needed them, perhaps that would increase the chances of Orchid actually getting them. He was only dimly aware that maybe no one in the keep actually has anything to give Orchidl as far as the barbarian was concerned, he figured that they stowed away something good in case things turned out badly. Orchid was hoping to have that thing. [color=a2d39c]"Dragon Cult leave, but not gone. They do evil here and other places. Orchid go and fight them. Orchid need weapons and armor!"[/color]

Thinking more about it, Orchid should probably get help too. Brannor, Parum, Torus, and Kyra seemed up to the task. Orchid made a mental note to go find them. Last he remembered Brannor was still resting in a room, so he would be the easiest to find. [color=a2d39c]"Mhmm. Greenest hurt real bad, but bad guys still hurt others. Steal things. Orchid go, fight bad guy, bring back things they steal. Give bac to Greenest! But Orchid need strong weapon and strong armor. You have, yeah?"[/color]
