Under a leisurely hand through his worn beard, Rowan pondered over the officer’s request. It would have been preferable to know about this detour of theirs ahead of time. “[color=A0522D]Preparations will begin at the eastern entrance to the village starting at six with the intention of the whole group setting out by seven. I don’t care to make a big spectacle out of this, so if we could keep any needless formalities to a minimum, it’d be appreciated. Plus, I should mention that our team is meant to rendezvous with two others before nightfall, meaning only so much time can be spared to pull off a search if you still want to be a part of the joint offensive the following morning. It shouldn’t be too hard to pull off if you have the right mounts at your disposal.[/color]”

It probably went without saying, but in the event that it did, Rowan would admit that the guild wouldn’t be able to accommodate her men as far as personal transport went. Rather, the guildmaster had made arrangements for a large buffaloo-drawn wagon to be delivered for the benefit of the hunters. So it’d be pretty much up to the village guard to secure whatever they needed for the journey.

With the rest of his day already mapping itself out in his head, the guildmaster found himself quickly rising out of his seat the moment it seemed that these preliminary matters were settled. “[color=A0522D]I’m somewhat grateful the guard came to me now instead of announcing their involvement the morning of. At any rate, both our peoples might just have their hands full for a while to come. In the meantime, you’re welcome to help yourself to the coffeepot downstairs anytime, just don’t make me regret offering it for free. Farewell,[/color]” Rowan said as he lead the way to the doors and opened one for Meche to leave first. There was time enough for him to be cooped up with a never ending mountain of paperwork, but for now he wanted to be in the main hall while the morning ran its course.
