[ +- ] Manor Floorplan
"Let's get back to the house and get some shuteye, what do you say?" The walk back to the manor is pleasant enough. Wayland obviously knows the village like the back of his hand, so he leads you at a steady but comfortable clip back to the house. As you get closer, you notice the glow of the fire inside. Hildar and Nekurr especially can't help but think of snuggling into a cozy bed...
The mayor dismisses the guards sitting outside, thanking them for "keeping his guests safe," but he says with him and his brother there, they can go home to their families. "Don't forget to burn your buzzards, now," he calls out, "so Nature's Lady'll send you good dreams!"
Nera greets her companions inside, and it quickly becomes apparent from the snoring that Tronus is sleeping outside at the stables. The mayor curses then smiles, and heads out to try to rouse the Dwarf to make sure he can get in to a warm bed. He ensures that you all have linens and clean water in the basins—it appears that Rupert Wayland has made sure of it—and then he leaves you upstairs. As he starts down the staircase, he stops and says, "Oh, don't let me forget. We'll get you what we can of those taxes first thing in the morning. Even if your boy ran off, Buzzard's Ford pays its debts." Then he says good night.
OOC:
OK, so I didn't want to belabor returning to the house. But a few things:1) Presumably, you could have asked the mayor some questions on the way back. If you think you would have, what would you have asked? I can pepper in his answers.
2) This might be a good chance to apprise one another of various things your characters noticed or surmised during the feast or afterward. I put a bunch of stuff in private notes, and I'm not sure you've all shared that information with one another yet.
3) Remnant, feel free to have Tronus join the others in the house if you want to be part of this information swap. If not, Tronus can be assumed to still be snoring outside.
4) Those of you in the manor are upstairs, either in one of the rooms in section J9 or on the balcony outside those rooms, overlooking the study.
