( when in trader's rest)

Miranda trails along at the rear of the group. Pausing inside the entry she greats and thanks the Guardsmen for their due diligence.

   In the town, it is  , but three  rings of the candle , before Mid-of-night. up the street a bit, they  stop at  a two way intersection., Tom their left is a building called, 'The Inn' It seems  quiet to their  left a   place lit up    with song  and lights... they can  barely see a sign that shows   4  cards.. a Black Heart with a  skull... a  Red  square  with a sword...a Green card with an Arrow..and  a Blue card  with Crown.  Up  the road a Bit  are a couple buildings  on the left. and the dome of a temple to the right other building on the   right are barely seen.

 Kree says to the group.we needs  , find a  rooms for the night..once  we do that,  we may explore the town... That building with the   cards is for  gambling, food and drink,,there may be ....ladies, and a man who two, who earn coin in others was as well....

 Kron's   has  a branch up the road here, to sell   our weapons we aqures,.. 0otherwise  i am unsure of the other Busineses here..

 Ivy  nudges  him...Zoe's

 The Captain looks a bit embarrassed,..aye, Zoes ...Zoe  Sprucethisle..a Druid, Thief  of sorts..she  runs a house of pleasure, and does have room, but they come at a cost and a companion...

 There are  odd  screeches  and roars  now and  again,, Kree  points to the   North west corner...That is the Skyrider mounts. most likely getting  fed...There is a good chance, troopers from the town might have been doing a   road  patrol and   brough in the bodies  we found on the road.. Come?  we Go to the' Ax and Flail' ..set rooms for the night if there be  any, and sell  our   goods  after...then the rest of the night, we  can
 spread out and Look around..

 as they  went   up the main  Road they saw kron's was  still opened a pair of people  stocking  items and cleaning  gear they may have bought from others...The Ax and Flail was well lit, the smell of   meat, perhaps   bear or boar  greeted them, thumps of  Mugs and such as  the  10 people in the  Inn  ate  can drank... a Young half  elf woman sat by the fire, stumming  a lute, her soft  voice  told  a tail of  a woodsman's  trek to find his Lady in the  Mountains..

  Kree lead the  folks in, going straight to the   Bar..an older Human woman looked at them and called to the  back... a tall well, well muscled   , bald  with a  grey beard. he was   wipign his hands  on a bar towel...I am  Fresk Watcherman..This is  me   bar..me home.. you cause problems,  we get extra coin  for the  Skyrider Mounts

 Ivy Grinned , looking at Kree.. Kree  smiled a condescending smile,Understood, Good   Watcherman,  we need rooms, perhaps two days? We have  coin...

 everyone has  coin..but do you have a name?

 Ivy Looked at Kree   a slight shake of his head, but as kree  spoke, he just hung his head, with another shake.

 I am Kree...Quickshadow. These are my unit for Crimson Arrows... we   are , on our way to   fill a contract...     he  taps the  arrow  pin with  the ruby arrow head..  Fresk looks at the others...

 There  are 9 of you... i have  I have  6 roms left, you  will need to double up? there are two cots  per  room, we also  have  extra paeelts if there wish to be three?.. Rooms are  dry and warm..pump handle  water .. a small room to relieve yourselves.. I got that Idea from Tou when i passed through

 Ivy grins...Tou does know  an awful lot abut  offal...!

 Fresk looked at Ivy..me Mother  was from Tou...

 everyone   got  quiet.. Ivy seemed  to be  off  kilter, until Fresk Smiled,I Jest!..Tou can go to the 9 hell's  and i would enjoy watching it burn!,  Go have a  seat,  the ladies   will make up the rooms.. who is   sleeping with whom?

Krwyn listens to the discussion and answers the question from the barman first. As he thinks Kree and Ivy will double with the two ladies, he answers: "I don't have a problem when there is someone who will double the room with me."

From the corner of the taproom, a gray figure stops nursing his drink and notices a new group of newcomers enter through the doors. For a moment, Moltke did not pay heed to this merry band but a glint of silver caught his eye. Leaning closer and squinting ever so slightly, Moltke could make out the arrow pin which donned the members of this group and he knew that these were the people he was looking for. Finishing his drink, Moltke stands up, strides across the room, and approaches what he thinks is the leader of this unit.

Are you the Arrows of Ironmound, the footmen of Reedrick the Dwarf? he asks.

Miranda eyed the enquirer then glanced in Ivy's and Kree's direction. Cousin Kree; were you going to let us know that we're now Reedrick's footmen. she teased.

  Ivy  Casts  a Glance  at the  New fellow.. Kree  waves  to his  comrades..Pick out the room assignments  as you wish

  Giving Miranda   a sidelong Glance...Reedrcik sent us  here.. we came on  foot..?

  Then Back to Moltke, we are.... The Ironmound head quarters   is our   main office, Reedrick  stepped  away to  handle the recruiting and  such..

 as they talk a  greasy looking fellow  got  up from the table he was in, and slipped out the door.

  After  our rooms  are set  we will be  walking to Kron's to sell some goods , and   explore the town.. If y9ou have  no other Business.  you may wish to come with us, and
 give  me a reason  for another agent being here...

Lysander whispers to Kree, "Do you want me to follow that guy?  Obviously a spy of sorts."

Moltke was initially confused at Miranda's teasings but was soon elated by Kree's positive answer. Though he kept his reserve, his eyes seems to glean with fervor. He sits down on a nearby stool.

I have no other business, I shall explain myself once you are ready to leave for your transaction.

 Kree Nods  slightly to Lysander,aye, but use your head, there are  , most likely, more of his people here, then ours..

 Elandra walked in with the others, she smiled at Watcherman and replied," May Peace be with you always."   Elandra noticed the man who walked over and spoke to them. Elandra smiled and replied," I am Elandra Jalvian Priestess of Amot, pleasure to meet you and May Peace be with you always."

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 7):

Miranda bristles Dear cousin You may concede you Reedrick's Footman, I do not. Rather I consider all Crimsons as Comerads. The only servant I am is of the Sisters

Lysander tells Kree to choose a room situation for him and slips out the door, following the furtive figure at a distance close enough to keep the trail, but far enough back to not be noticed in the darkened night.

Moltke gives a respectful nod to the Priestess of Amot.

I am Moltke the Elder, it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

 Elandra smiles at Moltke and replied," Are you joining the arrows or are you already a member like myself." Elandra showed her arrow hair pin. Elandra did notice the man leave after they where announced Arrows. Elandra said a quiet prayer of guidance to Amot.
