[1] The Lower Road

While Astrid is busy talking to whoever it is she's talking to in there, a runner comes up to those of you waiting outside. He hands you an envelope, and then just stands there, waiting on something.

Astrid comes back out just about then, seemingly satisfied. Apparently her name got her what she wanted. Those of you who know how the great houses work also know this... If you use your name to get something, someone else will eventually want you to use your name to get them something too.

It looks like the professor has lined up some coursework for you to do while she's away, but you do still have the rest of the day free before you have to worry about that. Anything else you'd like to check into before you head to get some rest?

[ +- ] The Message in the envelope

While Professor Alacandra is recovering, you've been put under my care. Be ready to work in the morning. It's been a long time since I've had any help cataloging my collection.

The courier could tell you how exhausting it was stopping to ask twenty-seven people which way you'd gone for three hours until he finally caught up to you, but that's why he gets paid, so he isn't going to complain about it freely. He nods to you neutrally, hiding any disappointment - if there is any - and takes off at a trot, heading back to get another assignment.

It's probably only a bit past noon now, so you've got time for several other things probably. Kundarak does run this district, so any shops here are sure to be selling at least good-quality goods. It's not real certain what that means for your pocketbooks, but it might be worth a shot if you still want armor.

With nothing really left that's pressing, you all enjoy the day, sightseeing around the city. If there's anyplace safe that you'd like to go (feel free to have had your characters hear about places that you like, even if they haven't been mentioned here yet), then it's safe to assume you go there today. I will give you a couple rumors that you pick up wherever you go. We'll pick up the story for the next day in a new thread.
