Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

Looking at the emblems, Elena thought about it. "Hmm. Not really? Most of them had the standard uniform on... Oh, but I do remember one of them! A red haired girl, she was the first one to arrive. She seemed rather passionate. She took down two of the louts before the rest of the guard arrived and arrested the others. I'm not sure where they took them, presumably towards the castle town. That's where the dungeons are, though I suppose if they have a barracks nearby they might've left them in the prisons there."

Elena looked a bit solemn as you told her the news about how her family's shop might be targeted by ruffians. "Of course. I'll... I'll make sure my father knows. As for the incident, it started about an hour ago? Maybe a bit less. We heard it from one of our neighbors; a couple of the younger men were drinking during their breaks. They were suppose to help paint a sign to welcome the duke and his men, but I guess they got a bit too drunk and started playing around with the paint they were suppose to use. We didn't really think it'd be a problem since it was so far away, but somehow or another it caused quite a bit of a stir and a couple of the boys managed to get up to here." Elena motioned towards an apron hanging off the wall with a bit of blue and purple stains on it. "I was outside helping a customer load vegetables when I got a bit of paint splashed onto me. I went inside and my father came out to make sure the boys didn't bother us, but when he shouted at him they threw paint at him. Though he was able to avoid getting much on him, they did end up splashing paint onto the shop. Fortunately not too long after a few guardsmen came along and arrested them, and since then my father and uncle have been trying to clean the paint off. It's very sticky while it's wet, so it's easier to clean when it's dry, but my uncle wants to get rid of it as soon as possible."

Elena looked at your group seriously as you mentioned the trouble. "Oh yes, of course. Let's head inside." Elena would guide the group inside as her father and uncle continued cleaning up the paint outside. It reminds you a lot of Iola's shop, though instead of minor adventuring gear, this shop had more produce and farming tools. Shovels, hoes, hatchets, and reaping scythes. There was even a few wheelbarrows stacked against a wall. Sunlight from a window on the roof illuminated the shop as Elena directs your group over towards a counter where presumably her family does their transactions. There were a few stools you could sit on if you wish to do so. "So, there's more trouble in town? Is there anything we can do to help?"

The family looked at Sylvia with stressful smiles. "Oh hello there Sylvia. Doing fine, doing fine... Bunch of the lads are getting rowdy for the festivals is all. Well, it's to be expected, young men being merry and drunk." Andras says calmly. Thurson however didn't have his brother's patients. "Inexcusable is what it is! Festival or not, doesn't mean we throw civility out and make a mess of other people's businesses. They want to go be drunken fools on their own, they're free to do so. But once they're in the walls they ought to follow the laws, no matter the occasion." Elena just sighed as she exchanged the rags, cleaning the dirtied on in the bucket. "A few boys came around splashing each other and anyone else they'd fine with paint. A few of them were just arrested not too long ago for drunken and disordery conduct. Fortunately our store only took a bit of a splash. Anyways, how are you doing Sylvia? Off on another adventure?"

Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

The group snaps out of their riches induced haze aside from Buddy, who seemed rather nonplus at the bounty. The party moves onward towards the market. There doesn't seem to be much going on right now but as you approach, you see Andras and Thurson outside their shop cleaning something off their walls. From where you were standing it looked like it was some sort of paint, but most of it was already gone. Elena comes out with a bucket of water and some more rags. "Looks like they're safe for now. We should hurry and warn them."

Shor just sighed hearing news about the mimics. "I really hope that doesn't have anything to do with Erendal, but I'll send Cera to look into it. Thanks for letting me know." Afterwards, Shor leaves to collect the money, coming back to you with the platinum bars. Unlike the bar you got from the mimic, these were solid and fairly thick, like small rods. They felt heavy in your hands. "Certainly easier to carry than a bunch of gold! Don't know how those adventuring folk do it. Can barely keep a hundred in a pocket. In any case, I gotta get back to work. See you around Sylvia." Shor takes the wakestone into his pocket and leaves Ferric's shop. Pylia and Shortfang just look at the bars. "Gods... That's a lot of money..." Shortfang climbed onto the table to pick on up. It was so dense and heavy he needed both hands to lift from the sides. "Boss boss, we should use money now! Buy super shiny things!"

So, who wants the first hug? xD.

@Archmage MC

Ashara is by far the most comfy person to hug, you’ll enjoy her the most.

A post just to get a post up. I think we ought to cut some of the rope latter so it's too short for anyone to climb without the rest of the ladder, this way if any bad guys wanna use it they'll have to either drop down or take the long way. Conversely, as long as we're all still standing we can stand on each other's shoulders, tie the rope ladder back together or mend it with magic, and then we make our escape from there.

Armed and ready Orchid follows Kyra to the southern tunnel, following close behind in the event of trouble. However when all they find is s ladder, Orchid seemed somewhat disappointed. Mainly because he was hoping for stairs. Ladders are a tactically poor place to fight from. That being said, there was a faint amount of light coming in. A room above? That gave Orchid an idea as he whispered to the party. "Cut, take rope. Bad guys can't use ladder, save for later. Go east, break eggs, come back. Good plan yeah?" Orchid said with a smile. He thinks this is an excellent plan.

@Enkryption

On one hand, I'm sadden to lose the suave but tough onee-san that was Chuunithulu, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I do enjoy Chuunitrixx current antic. Now Mamoru can be the big sister.
