MATT: One of the guards tugs on both of your
chains and says, “Quiet now! Save it for the
"lawmaster.” They bring you in– you go in through
the Lochward into the Hillsward, which is the
southern portion of Trostenwald. You are brought
to the outside of the stockade, which is a large
single-story, tall, rectangular building of large
stones and masonry. It’s built for function. It’s
not a very beautiful building, but it’s
defensible and it seems fairly well-made. However,
there are the banners of the crownsguard marking
the double-door entrance. As you’re brought
within, you can already see there are two central
chairs where two current watch sit, just watching
the front door. Beyond the right, you see, is an
office that you guys are dragged to– and the rest
of you eventually catch up to the group. You are all
brought inside this darkened office. Inside,
relatively simple. This isn’t a library-type study
office. This is very much for function. There’s a
couple of small crates that contain materials that
are too far in shadow to see the details of it.
Look to be pieces of paper, probably gathered
evidence or weapons that have been reclaimed.
There is a stone desk on the far end, and there,
within this office, already accompanied by a
messenger dressed for immediate travel, is a tough-looking
dwarven woman in her middle years rapidly
scrawling on parchment. Her black hair is streaked
with silver, tumbling past her red and gray
leather armor. She finishes writing on this
parchment, rolls it up, and hands it to the
messenger who immediately darts out of the room
without a word past you guys, giving you a brief
look as he continues on whatever his business is.
As soon as your eyes pass off the messenger, you
hear a loud slam, and you glance back. She’s put
her hands on the table. She glances up, “All
"right, what riff-raff have you brought in to me
this day?” The watchmaster takes the chains of the
three of you and pulls you to the front of the
group and says, “Sorry to be a bother, but we have
"three individuals arrested in connection with, as
you have heard so far, the deaths at the carnival
"performance this evening.” She rolls her eyes.
“All right, bring them forward.” They go ahead and
pull the chains up. The watchmaster bows his head
and then leaves the room. She steps forward and
goes, “I am Norda. It is my job to keep this city
safe and keep shite like what happened tonight
"from happening. I approved your second time on the
outskirts of our town and you have killed two of
"my people. What have you to say about yourselves?”
TALIESIN: Exactly how did we kill them, exactly?
MATT: She glances over at you. Glances over at
Gustav, “I have been told by my guard that you
"gave performance, and as part of this performance
you released two beasts into the midst of the
"population.”
LAURA: Well, technically, he wasn’t part of the
performance, technically he was saving everyone.
Technically.
TALIESIN: Thank you. Yes, you see–
MATT: Gustav interrupts you and says, “I’m so
sorry, my liege. Please, I take full
