It is a large group that accompanies Viscount Henry to Sirian. Lady Bai, Brother Bart and some leMaistre servants, Lord Cyrus and Lady Val with their small entourage, Lord Marik and Sir Domitius along with Rana, Sejana and Tobias.
The journey starts slowly with a small group, stopping of at Ringbridge to collect Lady Val, and then makes its way to Newgate to collect Lady Bai –by the time you leave Midmarch, it is an impressive little caravan. Although little might not be the right word.
You are accompanied by two of DELEM’s mule trains, under the command of Yolen, each guarded by a unit of Henry’s House troops, and a unit of Midmarch Light Cavalry. There are pavilion tents for the leMaistre’s and the Lebeda-Ondari, as well as a selection of smaller tents for other members of the expedition.
The first real ‘camp’ is at Fort Sarenko, where it takes the teams a while to decide on layout and distribution of duties, but Henry and Bai are content to visit with the Fort’s commander until everything has been shaken down and set Yolen’s satisfaction. During the evening, Henry and Bai sit in their large camp chairs, sipping wine and enjoying the fresh air, while servants prepare dinner.
The next stop is at Nikavta’s Crossing – the small town on the River Shrike that guards the road out to Varnhold. Again, the caravan stops outside the small town and sets up camp, although this time Henry sends Bart in to inform the town’s leaders of the expedition’s presence, and to pass on Henry’s respects.
In Restov it is a bit different. The caravan pulls into one of the districts on the edge of the city, and Yolen sets up the camp on a a piece of greenery that looks as if it is a cross between a community park and a Scrymball pitch. A notice Board describes it as ‘
DELEM Cannart Park', and it is home to the district’s Scrymball team.
Once settled, Henry tell you that the caravan will be staying here for two nights, as he needs to pay his respects to the mayor, the following day – after all, it would be rude to pass through another Lord’s domain, especially with such a large entourage, and not stop in to say hello.
OOC:
Those with access to them, can bring a few armed guards / servants along as well, if you want to. Feel free to describe your own entourages / equipment - according to your station. Obviously Sejana / Tobias won’t have the same resources as the nobles or knights.
This is intended to be a short stop, not really somewhere for extended RPed shopping trips, visits etc. However, if you want to shop in any of the known shops, visit family (quickly) or do other, similar, activities then feel free to post. I am not getting into any trade or business negotiations while we are here :)
