Episode 1 Scene 2 : The Next Day

Mar 14, 2021 11:07 pm
The next day finds the group waking up in the garrison barracks with the only one not sure how they got there being Quincy. Mukitz is sitting awake in his bunk reading a book with Boo sitting on his shoulder chattering occasionally to which Mukitz just nods. The barracks is a fairly large room filled with single bunks at the end of which many have a large chest. There are two doors one on either end of the room and no windows but wall sconces produce ample light. By one of the doors is a table and a guard sitting behind it relaxing most of the bunks are empty but a few still have some sleeping and relaxing folks in them.
OOC:
Quincy -- Con Save DC 15 to avoid hangover
Corwyn and Magnus -- Con Save DC 12 to avoid hangover
If Hath chose to stay at the garrison he is here and awake as the others awake

OOC:
Save to see if he has a hangover.
"Uh my head!" he groans.

Quincy, despite his night of drinking, wakes up with his head cleared and ki aligned. However, upon realizing that he does not remember getting to the garrison, Quincy shoots out of bed and frantically searches his bed and surroundings, looking for his spear and notebooks and backpack.

If he does not immediately find his things, he turns to Mukitz reading peacefully, saying louder than he was expecting, "Where is my stuff?"

"Da spear under mattress. Rest in trunk. Nice you up. Hope slept well."
Mar 15, 2021 5:11 pm
Hath throws a stoppered waterskin over to Corwyn's bed. "'Ere ya go lad, get that down ya and you'll soon start feelin' right! Nuthin' some fresh air and a mornin' stroll won't get rid of."

He looks over to Quincy, slightly surprised.

"Didn't think you'd be the sprightly kind after last night!"

Quincy visibly relaxes and is relieved when he finds his things. "Oh thanks to Torm. And thank you for getting me back here last night, I appreciate it, Mukitz."

He responds to Hath, "Honestly, me neither." he smirks. "But being a monk has its advantages sometimes."

Taking Mukitz's lead, Quincy digs through his backpack and pulls out his notebooks and writing supplies, sits in his bunk, and finally gets around to writing down the things he's been trying hard to remember. A couple of the things are a little foggy due to the drinking last night but he gets it all down as quickly as he can. Though, it probably takes a while.

He grunts his thanks and drinks from the waterskin, before lurching off to the privy.

When he gets back he asks the guard about where they can all go for some breakfast.
OOC:
Kustaa said there was free room and board while on assignment.

OOC:
Corwyn finds the privy it being behind the door opposite the guard but then Mukitz or Hath could have pointed him to it -- as well as told him where the mess hall is
The guard looks up as Corwyn approaches and then points off to his right, "The mess hall is the two big doors at the end of the hallway, ya canna miss it."

Magnus wakes up, head throbbing, Torm grant me strength, not to backslide into my old soldier ways he thinks. He gets up from his bunk "water, where is there some water!" he groans.

Corwyn nods in reponse to the guard and passes Magnus a stoppered waterskin.
OOC:
When the others are ready he will visit the mess hall and see what fare there is, hangover permitting!

After finishing finally writing down everything in his journal, Quincy takes a big sigh of relief. He empties out of his mind everything he was trying to remember and leaves the blank space open for the next round of important notes.

He begins packing his stuff back into his backpack and prepping himself for the day. He thinks about what could possibly be causing the animal losses, broken equipment, and stolen crops they have been assigned to investigate. If it were just stolen crops, then perhaps the population of herbivorous animals has simply increased this season. If it were just missing animals, perhaps it'd be due to a rise in predator population. Broken equipment? That seems like an odd thing for a beast or vermin to do, that would seem more within the realms of sabotage or bandits. But, it'll be nigh impossible to tell until they get there. He finishes his thoughts as he stands up, throws his backpack over his shoulder and brings his spear to his side.

"Wait up Corwyn, I will come with you to the mess hall. My head might be acheless this morning, but I fear my stomach might not fare as well if I don't eat something soon. And I must've finished off my waterskin last night as well." He says as he turns it upside down and not a single drop falls from the overturned opening.

"That might be one reason why you seem relatively unaffected from the Yroc Fire Ale last night," he says, gathering up his equipment and putting his bunk into a semblance of order.

Eventually the group makes their way out of the barracks and down the hall to the mess hall which is a large hall that looks like a large tavern interior as there are target boards off to the left and numerous barrels and half barrels that are being used a tables and chairs along with a long trestle table with benches which are made up of boards placed atop half barrels. It looks like all the various furniture could easily be stacked against one wall if desired. On the opposite side of the room are two large hearths in the one off to the right is a large black kettle, which Almthu and Mukitz head towards, and the other hearth has a substantial fire going within it and this along the numerous wall sconces alit about the room makes things fairly well lit. As with the sconces in the hallway all the fires seem to be of a magical nature as they do not produce smoke nor does there appear to be chimneys associated with the hearths. There are a handful of folk scattered about the ample room.

Magnus will follow Almuthu and Mukitz to the black kettle.
Mar 19, 2021 3:52 am
Corwyn follows behind.
Mar 20, 2021 1:52 am
Quincy follows as well, but asks where he might be able to fill up his waterskin first, and then does so. At the realization that the torches are magical, Quincy remembers the arcane continual flames that lined the halls of his monastery, cast by the clerics of Torm who presided over it.
Mar 20, 2021 9:17 am
Mukitz and Almthu walk over towards the big kettle and Mukitz uses a lever to raise the lid and takes a whiff, "Ahh Gorbucks stew, good stuff, bowls 'ere," he walks over to an up turned open barrel and pulls out a bowl, "ladle 'ere." picks a long handled iron ladle resting in a bucket near the kettle, he dips it into the kettle and swirls it and then pours the contents into his bowl and returns to the bucket. "Bread 'ere." He moves of to a box sitting against the wall, lifts the lid and pulls out a hand-sized loaf and then closes the lid. He then waits for the rest of you.
Mar 20, 2021 12:57 pm
Magnus follows on taking some bread and stew, "Seems quite a hearty meal for a breakfast" he remarks (hoping his stomach will not rebel)
Mar 20, 2021 1:35 pm
"Days grub, 'morrow sum utter stew." Mukitz says with a shrug.
Mar 21, 2021 12:54 am
"Hopefully set us up for the day,"Corwyn says as he helps himself to bread and stew. "We could head south of the village after breakfast."
