○ Mathilde's Cottage




As you approach the Cottage you can see two people out front trying to get the shutters closed on the windows. An older women with a long grey braid and a younger man who is helping her. The two are trying to close up the cottage due to the increasing winds.

○ Mathilde's Cottage

Virius walked up the path, and called to get the pair's attention.

"Ho there!"  He said while he was still quite a few paces off, so as not to startle them.

"You must be the good widow Mathilde,"  He said, inclining his head in greeting.  "And this must be young Raimol."

"I am Virius," He said with as much pomp and circumstance he could muster under the foul conditions. "Virius Tesh of the Wizardholme of Urnst."

He indicated the shutters on the cottage. "Would you care for some help?"  He asked.  "I would have a word with you both, but it can certainly wait until the cottage is fully battened against these howling winds."

The two accept the help and are appreciative. You can see the relationship between the Widow and the young man. They have the same relationship that a grandmother and grandson would have, but they are clearly not related. Raimol the young lad wears light leather armor, and has a dagger at his side. He has a quiver on his back but no bow or arrows can be seen. He goes around and helps secure the cottage. Turning back he offers his thanks. "Thank's sir, it was hard work for just the two of us. Don't want to have to worry about Mathilde's house getting all messed up." he says. Mathilde was quiet she was tending to a small patch of garden outside of her cottage while the two boys talked. Pulling out some weeds.

"It is good to care for your elders so."  Virius said, complimenting the young man.  Virius then spent a moment explaining how his band of adventurer's had decided to center their sights on Hommlet for the foreseeable future, and that Rannos Davi had been the one to furnish Raimol's name to the wizard.

"I have need of a hired man."  He said simply, getting to the point.  "Someone to tend the horses and see to our group's provisioning."  Taking a moment to allay any suspicion, he raised a calming hand.  "We have warriors a'plenty, though, I am not in the market for a swordsman."

He glanced at Raimol's gear.  "But someone that knew their way around a weapon couldn't hurt, should our camp be attacked."

"I'd be willing to pay you handsomely for such efforts, and outfit you, of course."  The young noble said.

Glancing at Mathilde, he continued.  "When we are in town, your time would be your own, to spend as you see fit.  But this work may require going afield here and there when the need arises."

"Interested?"

Raimol looks to Mathilde for what looks like permission. She waves her hand towards him and says. "You've been wanting to do something like this for years now, this is your chance, don't let an old women stop ya." she says. Raimol turns back to Virius. "I'm not a great swordsman, but I am decent with a Longbow, and know a little about the countryside around these parts. I would be very interested." he says. "I'm also good with animals, I can handle your horse." he moves over to Winter and strokes the side of the horse. "Beautiful." he moves to the back and rises one of her hooves to check the shoe. "With all the rain and mud, these will need a good cleaning." he says. "When do you want me to start?" he asks.

Virius eyes the poor weather.  "After this storm passes, for sure."  He said.

"Let's meet tomorrow, at the trader's as he opens for business.  We'll get you outfitted and discuss wages."

Virius shakes the young man's hand, thanks the widow Mathilde for her time and then takes his leave.

Back the the Welcome Wench if you please.
EDIT — Scratch that ... Rufus and Burne's keep if you please.
