Before you leave the Green Tree Inn, Bob brings you a platter of freshly roasted meat and vegetables. "You all be careful, now, you hear? And, if Angelina's gotten herself into any trouble, you get her out of it, alright?"
Inn Guardians: Bob looks somewhat curious at Poterol's mention of a guardian angel and dreams, but then focuses on Shyness' comment. "I don't think I'll be getting much rest tonight." He glances around, tensing at each slight creak in the floorboards caused by Shyness' pacing.
Inn Guardians: After the other patrons have headed upstairs or to their homes, Bob Treekeep, himself awake, fully dressed, armed with a knife, and tense, notices your vigil. He heads over to speak to the three of you. "I appreciate your keepin' watch. Is there anything else we can do? Who do you suppose is behind all this?"
Bob turns to Eli, Aeryth, and Sister Azmaria. "I'll stay here with Max for a bit. You three can head on about your business. It sounds like you've got a bunch of preparations to make. If you get back to the Green Tree Inn before I do, please remind Alice about the bells and nets, and tell her about the flour thing. I'll give Max those suggestions, too. And, I'll be home before nightfall."
"Well, uh, you see, Max... These here folks have some real bad news." Bob's eyes shift to Sister Azmaria, Aeryth, and Eli, hoping that one of them will update Max...
"I know where Max's shop is. He replaced my counters for me just last month."
"Don't you remember, Sir, when we had that... Uh... 'fire problem' a few years back... Angelina's the one who saved us... I told you all about it..."
"They're good people trying to help. Angelina sent them."
"So, there's a whole army of these things going around destroying towns? And Vigilant might be next?"
"Hey, there, Father Peter. These here folks have somethin' real important to talk to you about. They're not from around here, but they're friends of Angelina, an' I trust 'em."
Bob nods, locks the door behind you, and leads you all down the alleyway behind the Inn, which also happens to run behind the stables.
Bob nods, squeezes Alice's shoulder, and straps a knife on his belt before ushering you out the back door.
"Here." Bob hands his spatula to Alice, wipes his hands on his apron, then pulls that off and hands it to Alice, too. "Alice, make sure the meat doesn't burn, then get the boy to see about locking the windows and watching the front door. I'll be back soon as I can." He steps toward the back door and motions for all of you to follow him. "I know Father Peter pretty well. I'm sure I can convince him it's important to come with us to see Captain Ronald. Are we stopping on the way to get Max?"
Bob looks at Cernan and nods, "I agree. I should be able to convince Father Peter to come with us to see Captain Ronald."
Bob looks at Lesith. "The Lord Mayor wouldn't let anything or anyone disturb him, unless you happen to be some hoity-toity noble, or the Captain of the Guard himself."
"I know Max Gelthis, but, what's all this? Barbed wire and bells on the windows? What's going on?"
Once you all follow Alice back into the kitchen area, you find Bob turning from the stove, wearing an apron and holding a spatula. "What's going on?" You don't see anyone other than Bob and Alice here now. |
