On to see Uncle Dugan!
As the night goes by, Dugan moves to another room, one much larger with a hearth, a bar, and comfortable chairs. A musical group is playing music from a corner stage. As Nic asks about the ownership of Silence, Herr Dugan,who has been, up to now fairly inebriated, suddenly looks stone cold sober. “Silence hasn’t been seen for several decades. Perhaps 40 years or more. He was created for the family Stross, the once noble family who ruled this city before they were thrown down in revolt. I would surmise that it would take a noble offspring of the house to be capable of commanding him. How you came to be at odds with a family that no longer exists, as far as anyone knows, is a very disturbing question to me.” A knock at the door interrupts your suddenly serious discussion as several porters bring in bundles that they place at the bar your sitting at before bowing to Herr Dugan and leaving. Dugan brightens, “Enough of what we cannot change. Time for gifts and rewards!” Dugan then starts passing out packages. First he hands everyone except Nic a well worn backpack. “Stella commissioned these for you and had them sent here when she left. Handy haversacks for all of you. “ He then turns to Nic and hands him a smaller package, it looks like a folded cloak but as Nic accepts it, it feels heavier. Since you already carry a haversack for the group, Stella sent this for you.” He then explains what each item does, and how to activate it, if necessary. To Rowan, he hands a headband made out of fox fur. May this help you on your path to greater understanding.” He then hands leather strips to Mantle, then shows him how to wrap them around his feet, keeping his halfling feet bare. “Sometimes the most devastating effects are when your opponents don’t see it coming,” Then he hands a cloak to Nic, flashy on one side, completely unnoticeable on the other. I hope you can reconcile both of your natures, may this assist you in your path.”I Finally, he turns to Bohrhorgen, his Nephew. My Nephew, I treasure you as the son I never had. This Axe was your fathers, may you carry it with the honor that he embodied, and lift up the Name of our house in the same manner as he did.” In addition, Journeyman Sternhammer is finishing a set of armor as we speak, it will be done before the morning sun.”
