*Daniel walks into the Guard House and over to the duty officer and salutes him*

"Sir, request permission to travel to Escavon and investigate reports of trouble."

"Hello Daniel!" He salutes smartly.
"General Galeb has heard about events at Escavon, so he is looking for volunteers to have a peek and see what's happening. Good man for coming to us. You'll be there as a member of the guard so keep it clean." He grins.

<Tellos enters the Guard House and walks up to the desk>

Hello Grift, can you get a message to General Galeb and Ral Morga for me please.

I have received word that Escavon is under attack by aunknown forces resulting in a large number of MIAs, some of the Rangers have undertaken a preliminary scouting expedition and have confirmed this to be some form of Undead. I am going to investigate with a group of individuals, and ascertain what is going on and how best to sort it.

If you can ask the General to get word to the council regarding this and request reinforcements to help hold Escavon against this assault I would be grateful.

<Notices Daniel>

Hello Captain, are you joining us in our foray to the west?

"Sarge, Grift says General Galeb already knows. And yeah, I'm all ready to go now."

Excellent, I've just got to pop in and let the knights know and then back to the Inn and we should be ready for the off.

<Turns and leaves>

*Salutes Grift and leaves*

<Tellos walks up to the desk>

HELLO!!

*Walks into the Guardhouse and salutes the duty officer*

"I'd like to make a report and an apology to General Galeb if he's free."

Hi Daniel, if you see General Galeb or Ral Morga, can you request an audience for me please. I need to go and see the knights and discuss what we learned at Escavon. When you have finished, would you please join us in the tavern.

<Turns and leaves>

Gosh, back so soon? I'm afraid the General is a wee bit busy at the moment but if you would care to pop it down in a note I can get it popped over. As for the apology, you may as well bung that in as well.

"Righto..."

*Finds an unused desk, takes some paper and a pencil and starts writing*

<Walks upto the duty desk and hands a sealed letter to the guardsman>

Can you make sure that this gets to Ral Morga or General Galeb as soon as possible, it is very urgent and the security of Rihona may very well be at stake!!

Kell enters the guard house and heads to the Wonted board and looks over the posters with a grin "Will looks like work mite be a bit slow round hear"

Kell looks round to the guard behind the desk "so how do i see round hear to send a message to a friend round hear"

Bodger ambles in from the rudimentary kitchen in the back holding a cup of warm cocoa. He listens carefully trying to discern the strangers accent.
"Fraid it has been a bit quiet round here of late. Either the criminals are getting smarter, or they're holed up in their houses as worried about the undead as everyone else. If ya wanting to send a message, there's the Order of Sortileges down the road just on the edge of town. Huge building, ya canna miss it."
He sits down, rests his cup on some vaguely important looking papers, and starts chewing on a biscuit thoughtfully."

"thanks mate sorry i mist your name, I am Kell"

"Nice ta meet ya Kell." (sputtering crumbs over the table)
"M'Names Bodger. Grift is about the place somewhere, probably seeing to his hot water bottle."

"So how do you get on with that Sgt Tellos he is a bit of a head case...but i like him"

He purses his lips and thinks hard.
"I think 'e could go very far in the guard. There is something in there that I can't quite put me finger on... summat almost a bit... dunno... noble Hehe, I shouldn't really be stating me own opinion on the job." He grins conspiritorily.
He coughs.
"He is a fine member of the guard, and a credit to his unit. Yeah, that'll do."
He snuggles back into his chair and chews contentedly on a shortbread.
"Fancy a biccie?"

Daniel has fallen asleep at the spare desk, a half written report under his head.
The pencil rolls off onto the floor.

Kell smiles "thanks i like a biccie so i see that they work you hard round here" looking over at Daniel "so how is this lad then? i dont think i got his name in the inn" Kell stands up and takes out a piece of paper "do you know if a troll named Vola is in town i picked up a warrant for his arrest some time back and i thought that as i was in town i might try to hunt him down.

Arriving at the building is a stranger wearing a fairly brightly patterned garb and more noticable is the fact he's in a kilt fairly rare for this part of the free lands.

'Ah yer lads okay in there' he says in a accent which could be from the northlands but more than likely will end up having more than a hint of indian and mexican in it after a few beers.

'Ahm here looking for some work around these parts, yer wouldn't be able to tell me if yer know if theres anyone looking for some building work or the like.'

Bodger slyly looks towards Daniel to note he is asleep.
Beginning quietly he says:
"He's a good lad. Bit quiet though."
"Regarding your potential quarry of Vola.... I fink I seen him about, but not for a good while. In fact, I don't fink I seen him since the bunch in the inn came back. Bunch of piss heads that..... spend all their time in there yakin. Whats Vola bin upto then?"
Nodding a greeting to the strangly garbed gent who entered, he takes a sip of his cocoa once more.
"Builder eh? You could try the inn, the patrons seem to get a bit rowdy these days... the water mage Umbrial has some sort of plans in the works at the mo for a dedicated place for kids without parents, some sort of orphinage I hear. Not sure if anyone else has anyfing on the go right now." He shrugs, and dunks another shortbread biccie in his cocoa. He munches contentedly once more.

'ahm mighty grateful to's yer, I don't suppose you's have any idea where this Umbral fella can be found do you. I'm sorta new around here, not had a chance to get me bearings and such as yet.'

ooc oops didnt take me long to write mesage using the wrong char did it...consider that from mchugh

*taking directions from the guardsman the odd highlander wanders off into the city*

"ok then i must be off see you round and thank for the biccie" kell heads out
