You already seem to  have finished off the last of the resistance, now they are just getting organized and planning on how to control the prisoners.
Lady Highstones sees you and nods I gather you aided in capturing the last of the mercenary crew, good work!

In reply to Master of Fates (msg # 967):

"Most welcome. There remain prisoners in the basement you might want to see to as well."

Roahfustion mentions about the box on the wall (although expecting the Lady to be aware already).

Captain, please see to those incarcerated below, some may well be loyal subjects.

And my thanks to you three for your support and help. It may seem small but every little bit helps.  Where do you go from here?

Roahfustion looks at Troels and raises her eyebrows questioningly.

In reply to Roahfustion (msg # 971):

"Unsure. We may need to discuss that. After a good night's rest, of course."

There is a guest room on the third level, but it has only a bed for two. One of you will have to stay in a Guards or servants room I fear.
Come morning we can discuss where you may wish to go.

In reply to Master of Fates (msg # 973):

"Happy to share, or sleep on my mat, or go to the guards room, as the ladies prefer."

Roahfustion looks at Blythe, eyebrows asking her to make the decision.

Blythe just looks back and shrugs What ever you guys decide.

"Oh, well, he could be a problem if he sleepwalks, and yodels too, so it's better if he comes in with us."

Lady Highstones giggles That indeed would cause a stir.

In reply to Master of Fates (msg # 978):

Troels makes as if to speak, but then closes his mouth and says nothing.

We will assume eating and sleeping is managed in a manner accommodating to all.  Come morning, you are eating when you are invited to the sun room by Lady Highstones.
I know we interrupted your journey, how may we assist you in getting to where you need to go?  There are various things we could do, depending.

"You seem to have good relationship with the dwarven contingent. I've been trying to get some of those good folks to spend time and help me improve my accent in their language. Might you be able to provide some letter of recommendation or somesuch that'll help? For after all this settles down, of course, and human folk that are from across the border are back in their own domain."

I can ask, no promises as they are an odd folk who much protect their privacy.

Blythe looks at Troels and Roahfustion, I have reason to get to Fordham if that could be arranged.

Lady Highstones looks amongst you ... Most certainly, let me check, but I think you could leave about sunset and be there by morning.  She smiles  I have a friend who can accomplish that for you.

"Thank you, Lady Highstones."

======
OOC: Which town was Fordham?

In reply to Roahfustion (msg # 983):

"Sounds good. An overnight trip..."

You all wish to go?

-------------

OOC- The place you were supposed to provide your report and get paid for going through Mershall?

In reply to Master of Fates (msg # 985):

Should we all not go? Is it safe for just one person?

"Lady, is there a reason we should not all go? Is there a service you would wish of us or for us? Which is to say what alternatives of note are there?"

Well no, but only Blythe there asked to go, I was not understanding that she was speaking for all of you.

"She did," answers Roahfustion . "Unless you know something about this that I don't, Troels?"

In reply to Roahfustion (msg # 989):

Troels shakes his head.

"Nothing I can remember..."

OK, This evening after dinner and at dusk, meet me on the top of this tower.

I will assume you pack, eat, sell your horses and have everything stacked on the top ramparts of the tower as dusk falls.
Lady Highstones meets you there and blows a whistle that makes no noise.
After a bit you hear a low chanting and one of the guards points... something is coming toward the tower and the chanting would seem to be coming from whatever it is.

After a few minutes you see that it is a large boat made out of a huge tree trunk and in the rear sits a huge man who chants as the  boat come over the side and then settle on the top of the tower.. It hangs over the edges in both directions and will easily handle all your gear and the three of you.

Ah Hogard, good to see you again. These are the people who need to get to Fordham this night.

The man answers in an exceedingly deep voice Well met My Lady, it is no problem and I look forward to getting out tis night.

You get all your gear stowed and Hogard again starts to chant, the boat lifts slightly and he changes the chant, which causes the boat to float off of the tower and move toward the southeast at a pace slightly faster than a walk, and then Hogard again changes the chant and the boat picks up speed, faster than a galloping horse and Hogard guides it around the tallest hill while the boat seems to go faster and faster... your eyes water and the cool air makes your ears cold. You need to duck down to avoid the wind screaming around you as the hills float by fairly quickly. The moonis up and you can see the land below, the fires of all the forces camped in Mershall off to your right.


CONTINUED IN :  Fordham and traveling on
