Subject: Town Square 846 views

[Alex]

A simple wooden gazebo at the center of a grassy circular plaza serves as the hub for Ravengro’s major festivals and gatherings. The town council also uses the gazebo as a platform for major announcements. When their labor allows it, farmers who have musical talent often converge here, forming impromptu bands. The town square is also where the local farmer’s market gathers every Wealday. The town square is the most likely place to encounter Old River, the town dog. Old River has been ownerless for more than a decade, but the citizens of Ravengro have taken to looking after it—the dog has become something of a beloved town mascot. Old River is particularly protective of the town’s children, following the smaller ones if it spots them running off alone. The dog almost always spends its evenings sleeping under the gazebo steps.

(what level is the gazebo?)

Peter will head through the town square with his gear stowed, he is holding a ladder with both hands, having it rest across her back and his head. He will notice Shar in the square and approach him, putting down the ladder and reaching out to shake his hand, a smile on his face.

"Good morning, how did you and the others sleep? Ive been up meeting the people of the town and finding out things about the problems of Harrowstone. Yourself?"

[Shar X'ianxin OrbbSenger]

Shar will stare rather blankly at Peter but accept his hand. He shakes it firmly before speaking.
" I have been looking into supplies to counter ghost attacks. It would seem by the apothycary that the spirits sap your life force. Other than that loan vial Lorrimor had, I do not believe we can finance getting more at this time."

[alikzhander]

Peter will nod.

"I planned on talking again with the Father after a few days of getting to learn the area about him loaning more of them out to myself to assist in clearing the prison, as of right now he isnt favorable towards helping a bunch of strangers. Im attempting to rectify that while talking to almost half the town so far. Got a good chunk of info that ill share with you all tonight once im done doing my errands around town and introducing myself."

[Shar X'ianxin OrbbSenger]

Shar looks somewhat frustrated as he listens to Peter.

"I do not like waiting while the murderers of Lorrimor continue there plots within that ruin. I do not see much alternative however. I doubt I will be able to make Allies in this town easily."

[alikzhander]

Peter will put his hand on Shar's shoulder.

"Trust me I understand. If we want to protect these people and avenge him. We will need their support and help. I am trying my best to do this as expediently as possible while retaining my objective in mind. Im sorry that it seems I am at odds with you and the others, I wish that weren't the case or perceived as such. What can I do to make you trust me and I, you?"

His expression of sincerity and friendship is genuine.

[Shar X'ianxin OrbbSenger]

Shar seems to tense at his touch, apperantly subcontiously. Otherwise his purple eyes look at Peter completely calm.

" Do not assume you are the only one with understanding of the world. No one leads me, we are here for common purpose. I cannot speak for the others, however if you wish to help then help, do not command. "

Moving his head slowly to look around Shar lets his eyes take everything in, the bright orbs of his pupils darting back and forth under his wide brimmed hat.

" What is your next course?"

[alikzhander]

Peter will sigh and shake his head, removing his hand from the mans shoulder realizing that it was an obvious impossibility.

"Im going to do work around the town and earn their trust, with that their insight into Harrowstone. The people of this town have the knowledge and experience we seek. Only through them are we going to be truly ready to face what lies in the bowels of Harrowstone. I am not commanding, you will see the difference when that happens. I never said I am the only one with understanding of this world, however I have life experiences that you dont have that will be invaluable especially for fighting the undead which frankly I think im a little more trained for, it is my first duty in this world."

Peter is obviously being more stern now, tired of all the bullshit from the shitty attitudes of his companions.

"I will leave you to your preparing, I need to start on my project now. Its going to take the entire rest of sun up."

He repositions the ladder onto his back.

[Shar X'ianxin OrbbSenger]

Shar doesn't seem to change his mood in the slightest. When peter replaces the ladder he simply continues his walk away from tye square.

[alikzhander]

Peter will mutter to himself and shake his head walking away disappointed with the man.

[Alex]

People continue on with their business with entertaining distraction of the strangers interaction over.

[alikzhander]

Peter runs through the square at full bore, his destination being the sheriff's.

[alikzhander]

Peter escorts the Sheriff through the square towards the outskirts.

[alikzhander]

Peter walks alone gear and a ladder with him heading to the general store, solemn look on his face.
