The Missing Groom

A cold bed and a warm ale. Blood stains the walls, but it looks like the Bar Keep is standing...for once.

The Missing Groom

Post by Eilonwy »

"Besides the thieves of the other night, another thief has stolen from these lands. And more specifically from a young woman who has suffered this theft lifetime after lifetime. The groom of Saturday's wedding, Clover, is still missing.

Considering the recent treachery of Lord Malcolm against the one he claimed he would never harm, we can only presume his jealousy has run its course with Clover. If there is any hope, and even with none, I wish to find the young man, no matter his condition.

Is there no one who saw him before the wedding? And will anyone come to search Malcolm's holdings and scout the area or gather information? I ask as a friend to any who would answer. "

*Looks up from his work table, where a number of living and expired beetles are pinned in place.*

"Sounds like this issue has quite a history associated with it. Perhaps clues may be found there. What can you tell me of this 'Rose Quest'?"

Wondering in the inn Lady Rosamund over hears the two people talking. Walking up to Eilonway and Amagus the lady dips in to a deep curtsey and says “I hope you both fair well. It seams as if I am in need of something to do. I may be of aid if you wish my help.”

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Speak the truth, always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless, and do no wrong. That is your oath.

Delayne overhears the conversation and walks over on her way out of the inn. She nods with understanding at Eilonwy's weary expression. "Ahhh...a face that echoes my own."

"I may be of some assistance if we travel into the woods. I would be happy to aid you, you whom have always offered succor when I have needed it."
Mike: For the majority of you, choosing to use a packet instead of a weapon is a hindrance because your aims suck.

Travis: Crap he is on to me.

"I would also be happy to accompany you. I am to understand that Teela was poisoned on a similar mission. I travelled to Lord Malcom's maner to investigate, but we found nothing. I offer my humble services upon this inquery." Sen says with a bow. Quoth, the large Raven, sits perched upon the Valkyn'vi's shoulder.

*Studying everyone in turn, eyes meeting Delayne's own with quiet support, and finally, smiling softly at both Sen and his raven.*

"I am very grateful for this. Perhaps, if we can travel to the manor one more time, even though it has been searched and ask any who live near it and Haven about Clover...Shall we go, my friends?"

*To Amagus.*

"Perhaps, when we return I shall tell briefly of the sad history thee speak of to any who would wish to know."

"Yes, I would like to check the Lady Ivy's home for a trace of the so-called poison that was administered. It may grant us a clue." Sen says with a humble bow.

If we can find some of the poison I may be able to tell what kind it was. If i can do that we may be able to find where it came from. and thus find something out there.

Laura turns to the group and says,
"Shall we than set out to Lady Ivy's and see what we can find and go from there?"

Scholars, healers, and a cook. One would think that you would want a good sword arm to travel with you. Conveniently enough-

*Olan stands, adjusting the twin swords on his belt*

I have two. If you don't mind, Eilonwy, I'd like to come with you to help ensure the your safety and the safety of those who go with you. I understand discretion and diplomacy, and do not believe I should hinder your efforts.
