In the woods outside the Artiste's house...Niklas picks up the unconscious cat and leads the man back to the house, stopping at the kitchen. Okay, time to knock this fellow out.
[Nonlethal Subdual: Niklas vs. Man: 1 vs. 4+2-
1]
Niklas clonks the man on the head! The hairy individual looks slightly confused, then roars!
[Man vs. Niklas: 3+1 vs. 2]
He swipes a mighty claw over Niklas' naked chest, leaving a rather deep gash in it!
In Brenwicke's Books...Sigmund calmly walks up to the bookseller.
"Oh, here you are. I've been looking for you. How much is this book?"The shopkeeper looks at Sigmund incredulously.
"What are you doing here? What's happened?""Didn't your workers told you? Some bastard came here at night and threw a rock at the window and proceeded to break stuff in here. I was just passing along and I found him doing what I said, so I chased him, but I lost him in an alley. Then I came back here looking for someone to explain what happened and found your workers investigating, so I explained them what I have already told you. I also described how was that man and they said that it must had been another bookseller, Walley I think it was. They went there to reach a payment agreement.""Damn it all, did they leave the store unguarded in that time? Hang on, have to check the inventory right quick. Give me the book for now."The shopkeeper outstretches his hand, looking at Sigmund expectantly.
In a temple of Narcillicus...Scott quickly walks back to the Artiste's house and approaches his master.
"I would like you to know that I am very sorry.""That's nice! What for?"There is a roar from the kitchen.
"Hm, that's odd."On the top floor of the Artiste's home...Morton is starting to have certain reservations about this whole mission. Better try to keep one's optimism up.
"O-oh dear. Well then, what, erm, would you say that we'll get through it fine? If I heard right, mages are powerful, yes, so surely there isn't anything to worry about, right?""Well, ya know, it really depends on the monsters we meet, the quality of the ship and the prevailing winds, among other things. If some sort of God of the Deep comes out and tries to eat us, our trip will be very perilous. But if it's just ravenous seasquirrels, it's less of a bother."Hearing these rather troubling news, Morton looks and asks if anyone needs more tea. Looks Erin, the Artiste and the other woman have finished theirs, while the two guys aren't even nearly through with their glasses.
Outside the Artiste's house...Mark, having finally been admitted to the house, shows restraint by running right out and back to the town, looking for a temple!
Fortunately, there is a prominent one right over there. Large, made of stone and covered in ornate reliefs, looks like a prestigious place, he'd say.
