"I locked him in. Nothing else. And no, you can't talk to him." Estovion replies. He changes his direction though to go to the gate of the lodge instead of the main building. As soon as he sees a guard, he waves him over and gives him orders. The guard then moves to the maintenance shed to guard the door.
At the maintenance shed you meet Estovion who is locking the door from the outside. Turning around and facing the group Estovion tells "Paucy is responsible for this mess. The groundskeeper has long been infatuated with the Markiza and was likely trying to rid the lodge of guests so he could get her alone." "Paucy is my responsibility and I'm truly sorry, I didn't take his infatuation mopre seriously. I placed him under house arrest and will send a guard to make sure he doesn't cause more trouble. I'm glad you managed to prevent worse things to happen." "And it is really careless of you Delgros to leave the beast pens unlocked. With such dangerous beasts that is inexcusable." Then Estovion turns to leave to the main house.
"I just assumed, that research might be part of the reason of your visit and the general library only contains reading material for entertainment." Estovion replies. "Duristan introduces himself as werewolf hunter. Why he came to choose this 'profession' I don't know." The unspoken end of the sentence would be and I don't care.
"Yes, thank you." Estovion dismisses the porter. "Please do not hold the actions of my porter against him. The error in your improper greeting was entirely mine. I neglected to inform my staff of the open invitations I gave to the Order, and they did not recognize the reservations. Rest assured, however, that all of the lodge’s facilities are at your disposal, including our libraries. While the general library is down the hall, this one," he says, gesturing at
Will Save: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
Ini:
Initiative Stam: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 Initiative Grergof: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 Initiative Darius: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20 Initiative Spugnoir: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 Assuming no one will start hitting him with a club immediately and Stam not being first. "What dare you!" Estovion shouts. And you suddenly find yourself in a cloud of green stinking fog.
"A rat? Then it must have been Paucy, that dim witted grounds-keeper. I'll go and interrogate him." Estovion hurries to the maintenance shed D5, enters and closes the door behind him. After a short time he comes out again and locks the door. Coming back he explains "Paucy admitted that he released the monster. He said he wanted the Markiza for himself. Don't ask me about the logic in this." "It is my fault. I should have taken better care of him and the lodge. And I should have demanded that the beasts are safely locked away." Estovion adds with a glare at Kroitzcer. "Paucy is under arrest until I can ensure that something like this is no longer possible for him." "I'm sorry, that I can't help with Bisthe. But if you were hurt, or something was damaged I will make up for your damage." He looks around if someone wants to make a claim immediately.
"Most of our guests are nobles of some kind and I assume you know the etiquettes. Duristan Silvio Ariesir you have already met. But most of the other guests prefer to be let alone or will introduce themselves to you. I don't parttake in the gossip but if you're interested there is no shortage of guests who like to share." Looking at you he hesitates for a moment but then adds "I know you had no time yet to refresh yourself - but if I may suggest for the time to come not to wander the lodge as if prepared for war." Everyone with at least one rank in Knowledge(Nobility) knows the ettiquettes. Everyone else has to make a roll for 10 or risk making an ass of himself.
Lozarov stands up behind his table and comes out to greet everyone. "It's a pleasure to meet you. Please do not hold the actions of my porter against him. The error in your improper greeting was entirely mine. I neglected to inform my staff of the open invitations I gave to the Order, and they did not recognize the reservations. Rest assured, however, that all of the lodge’s facilities are at your disposal, including our libraries. While the general library is down the hall, this one," he says, gesturing at the book-filled shelves, "is likely better suited to your research." "But I have to apologize again, as we have currently only two free rooms and I can't offer everyone of you a room of your own." |
