(032) Another Day in Ket « Thread Started on Nov 30, 2011, 6:38pm »
The company members find their own ways back to the Plough and Furrow as their chores are done, with Ulric and Highbough arriving last, well into the evening.
Albert serves drinks and a satisfying hot meal to his customers in the common room, before the company retire to their rooms upstairs for a well deserved good night's rest.
When the new day dawns everyone is feeling refreshed and invigorated!

Gustave awakes with mixed feelings of enlightenment and ill health. In the half-wakefullness of morning, he ponders a string of revelations he had during his sleep while mulling over previous battles, and has something of an epiphony - perhaps if he looked at things this way...before his thoughts turn to the problem of a severe paucity of available women in the group, though that warrior lass...
Raising himself, renewed, from his pallet, he is seized by a wracking fit of coughing, and his mind drifts again back to the poisonous gasses of Saxxons dungeon. Doubled over on the floor, he resolves to seek help for this debilitating condition ere it become more severe.

If no one did so the night previous, Guntrum quietly describes their adventures of the afternoon before to the group.
"Friends, we do not know if these catacombs are related to Josiane and Dorgan's battle under the warehouse, but it could be so. What say you all of this mystery? Should we descend together, or spend another day figuring more of this crypt from the surface?"

Desmond, with tousled hair and bleary eyes, tries rubbing the tightness in his chest to make it go away. He hears coughing and looks over at Gustave sprawled on the floor.
"You feeling the same thing I am, then, Gustave? We should try to find someone who can help us clear this up. I haven't felt quite the same since I breathed in that gas."

Ulric enjoys a hearty breakfast and prepares for a day of study.
"I will be at the library. There are many secrets that I must unravel before I chase danger and death again. I would urge the rest of you to wait as well. It would be best if we were at full strength. The secrets Highbough and I uncover will greatly increase our chances of survival."

"That was my intent for this morn," says Josiane as she tucks into her breakfast; "Yesterday's investigation has given me several lines of enquiry to pursue, and I believe I can best do so at the library, if our noble sages will be so kind as to guide me there?" She flashes her pretty smile in the direction of Ulric and Highbough.
Turning to Gustave and Desmond: "My friends, it may be that the Temple of Thuul can relieve your sufferings. Many who follow the sign of the Enigma are skilled in leechcraft." She offers an apologetic half-smile; "I would offer to petition on your behalf, but I fear that may not necessarily work to your benefit."
Her face brightens; "Perhaps if you sought out the noble Pelenwin once more he might be able to obtain the assistance you need?"

"As you wish," shrugs Highbough.
Secretly he is relieved at the freedom to pursue his own studies.

"I'll be returnin' to the Temple as well. I've some questions to ask the priests there 'bout traffic to and from that graveyard. Mebbe they know more about the tomb, too."
Dorgan looked at Gustave and Desmond. "I'll head over there with ya. No pun intended, Des."

"Right you are my dear dwarf", replies Gustave, feeling somewhat better after consuming a large number of pastries, "the Temple it is. Perhaps our man Pelenwin can indeed point us in the right direction for a cure to this tenacious malady", he adds, nodding toward Josiane.

Dorgan looked at Gustave and Desmond. "I'll head over there with ya. No pun intended, Des."
"Why not? I make fun of this noggin all the time!" and he dips his head to the side into Mondes' head.
"I hope they can be discrete..." he smirks, as he rolls his eyes over to Mondes.
Dorgan looked at Gustave and Desmond. "I'll head over there with ya. No pun intended, Des."
Wibert looks up with food in his mouth and speaks, "Woowww the temple seems the place to be today. You all better bring some gifts for the priests, and they should aid you. I need to checkin on Pelenwin anyhow to get my dagger back. I will not feel safe again around here without it. I'm sure it anyone can the priests can help you out Desmond! Let us all finish this great breakfast and get going."

"I planned to start looking around for a villa or house to rent for the party today." Olaf says, "I could use some help doing that if any of you are interested."
"Oh, yes!" Olaf pauses and looks up, "I also wanted to inventory my armor and weapons to make sure they are up to snuff...as I'm sure they are going to be needed sooner rather than later."
