Re: Chapter 1.1: Finding the Key
Near the booth where the knights were selling their wares, though Lord Brightblade had taken one of the squires and left for the horses, a trio of acrobats, including a female afflicted kender, a female half elf, and a muscular male Khur nomad, performed a wide variety of tricks to entertain the crowd. But the crowd didn’t seem impressed by the performance, and instead harassing a jeering the performers. And this continued until the man stumbled and dropped the kender into the crowd. And this just made things worse. The crowd became angry as the crowd accused the trio of attempting to robbing them blind.
[Private to Marcus Valarian: On the way to the booth, Lord Brightblade made sure Marcus knew that he had intended to bring him with him to the horse market, which was the better assignment for a squire. But because of his actions, he would be left at the booth instead.]
