''Will do. Our fair city has a shortage of volunteers to keep the peace so... well our Lordship son tried to remedy this with mercenaries. Bastards have tabards but they refuse to wear them!'' He clears his throat, almost sounding like a growling bear. ''Are you two young ladies perchances the family of our newly settled Cleric of the Path?''
Well, it's better to be known than not when you have a sword on your waist. ''Yes.'' You answer before your mom is tempted to lie.
''Good good, I need to relay a message. You see...'' He stops, frowning at the sky. ''Good Mother forgive my memory I cannae find his wording.'' Seeing Canaan's impatience, he clears his throat.
''Master Dwarf Furibol invites your family to a diner inside his lordship Bram Eisenhart manor, at your earliest convenience of course.''
What? ''This city houses a dwarf?'' You have to ask.
Dwarves, like the half of your bloodline, suffered a catastrophic event a handful of generations before yours. Their entire race is... on the way out because unlike your mother (and you), they have a lifespan.
Moutain Militiaman nods with a large, goofy smile. ''He's our new architect! With legendary dwarven intellect and wisdom, our fair city can only prosper. I do wish you both a wonderful day!''
''Before you go, good sir.'' You continue as he was about to leave. ''These... mercenaries you mentioned, are they perchance guarding the monster enclave?''
''Aye, to my shame that's where most of em are posted. Things are tense over there but under control worry not.''
''Shit.'' Mom says loudly.
Your dad has masterful control of his temper... until he witnesses abuses and injustices, that's where things get enflamed quickly. If these three men are the average attitude for the ''peacekeepers'' of Eichenwald enclave...
Well...
You and mom share a silent stare as MountainMilitiaMan stands around awkwardly.
Dad will be fine, it's other people you have to worry about.
>Take this opportunity to get the latest news from the city. This peacekeeper is well-informed, why not absorb everything you can?
>You have duties to attend to, concentrate on that.
Start with grocery
Go deliver your father's letter
Will you do so alone or remain at your mother's side?
>It'd be wise to change today's ambition and make a swift journey into the monster enclave. Your dad won't respect the authority of mercs.
>Free
I am observing to see if Rey could have a bit too much of a dependence on her parents or not, so do factor that into your choices as we proceed.
