Suffer not a witch [IC]

[Moridain]

The Knight nods, and sits next to the warrior, accepting his tankard. They quietly talk about nothings for the next few hours before waking the next person to watch up.

[Liliedhe]

When she begins to hear something, she looks after the horses, if they are unduly nervous, before taking a look out of a window, to find the source of the noises.

Spot check for the horsies. Spot - (1d20+4)[21]

[Kyace]

Yes, the horses are uneasy and tugging at their leads but not panicked.

Looking outside the window you catch a glimpse of a wolf before it disappears into the shadows.

[Liliedhe]

She remains alert and wary for the rest of her watch and informs Djer about it, when he comes to relieve her.

[Maquis]

Taking Genovevas' warning to heart, Djer spends most of his watch patrolling from window to window, rather than taking the time to perform the regular, quiet maintanence on his equipment as he had initially intended to.

[Kyace]

Djer sees the wolf briefly toward the end of his shift but it doesn't attack.

The next day you all make it to Horb. Horb is up the hill from the river. In the town is a predominate castle, a market and a church. The city is barely awake as you enter about dawn.

[Moridain]

Timon woke early and spent an hour doing his weapon forms, outside the barn so as not to wake anyone.

When they left he stayed quiet, overly alert to anything strange, wearing his nerves raw by trying to stay in a constant state of awareness. They reach Horb without incident however, leaving him feeling slightly disappointed Where are the vicious old ladies and creeping mists..? The creeping wolves and ravens watching our every move... These Witches appear to operate outside of the traditions then.

Like us, I suppose... The idea that those they seek are likely normal people like him and the others of the group unsettles him a bit What is the differance between them and me? Is it because I serve the true God? Hmm...

He looks around at the town, frowning, "Such a simple place to hold a witch..." he says aloud without realising it.

[Welcome back! I had started to think the game had bombed; Glad I was wrong. :) ]

[Liliedhe]

Genoveva woke quite early in the morning and got ready, too, letting down her hair and pinning it up again at a little brook in the woods, away from prying eyes (hopefully). Riding into Horb she felt a little underwhelmed - it didn't look so different from what she knew.

"Well, what do we do now?" She asked the knight. "Ask around in the taverns about missing people?"

[Chineselegolas]

Harad

Still yawning widely as they rode into town, Harad replied before the knight could, "I like the sounds of checking out the taverns. One can find interesting people in them, though it is a little early in the morning for most." Scratching at his forehead and rubbing at his eyes, yawning wide once more he said "We are from the church, why not ask theirs."

[Maquis]

Blinking behind his lenses Djer gauges the traffic on the streets. "That makes sense to me. Would not the local cleric be the centre of the community, not to mention a bastion against these... heresies? The local Watch would be my own recommendation to follow. The wider community can wait, until later in the day, when they are not so busy."

[Liliedhe]

"Then let us go to the church." Genoveva steered her horse over to that building and dismounted.

[Kyace]

The church is filling up with the the devout that attend the morning service. You can hear the monks in the background chanting.

[Moridain]

Talin walks into the church with his helmet under his arm. He sits quietly in the back of the church and joins in as appropriate in the morning service. He has always been a devout man, and he sees no urgency that requires interrupting it.

[Liliedhe]

Similarly, Genoveva ties her horse to a pole and also attends the service - it has been too long since she heard a mass, anyway. But she also keeps an eye on the crowd, looking for anything unusual.

[Chineselegolas]

Harad

Following the others over towards, the church, Harad stopped outside and lent up against the wall to the left of the door, waiting for the service to finish before entering.

[Maquis]

Uncomfortable setting foot inside a church, during mass or otherwise, Djer takes up a possition on the wall to the right of the door, unwittingly mirroring Harad.
