Prologue
Noon 14th Snow 804 My residence in Seagate: The bitter cold weather has continued and I’m wrapped up warmly in front of my fire watching the flames dance around the hearth, content and comfortable with a thick tome of church history to review, ah what bliss! I had just nodded off when the door opened and in traipsed my faithful acolyte Garion Du’ornal I entered and I could tell be the frown on his face he wasn’t happy which meant bad news for me. <sigh> I Ga’Ernoul de Tuscana – Born in Tuscana, my acolyte for the past few years. The Mystery of the Missing Suitors GM: Martin Dickson: June to Dec 2004 (Real-time) Page 3 of 101 “OK what is it Ga’Ernoul?” I was about to prompt him to reply when I noticed in the doorway behind him my old friend Thaeuss standing patiently with just the hint of a smirk on his face. “Come on in Thaeuss, make yourself at home and tell me why you’re out in this dreadfully cold weather”. Thaeuss promptly sat down in front of the fire, thawing whilst gathering his thoughts and I waited patiently as I have learnt that Thaeuss will speak in his own good time. “Broc, a message was sent to the guild requesting some assistance with a ‘delicate’ matter up in Bowcourt and I thought you might like to come with me and a few others to see what’s afoot there.” He knew me well, knowing that with just a little information offered and the possibility of adventure I would jump at the opportunity, and I did! “Certainly Thaeuss when and where are we meeting and what’s the story?” He rose from his warm repose with a smile on his face, “I knew you’d come but explanations will have to wait as I have others to gather for the task. Come to the guild at 2pm to find out more”. He then took his leave and went again into the cold searching for more ‘friends I’ no doubt, which left me with a chill at the thought of who he may come across here in sleepy mid winter Seagate. I waited some time and gathered some fortitude with the help of a good bottle of wine and some fine cheese but I couldn’t help wondering what I had volunteered for and who would be accompanying us on our travels this time. I noticed the clock showing half way between 1 and 2 so I rose, dressed and I asked Garion to excuse me to any who come asking for me while I am away then I grabbed my warm heavy cloak and headed up to the Guild with haste. I saw few others in the cold streets, as most are too intelligent to be heading anywhere outdoors in this bone chilling weather. I was relieved that my warm heavy cloaks managed to keep out most of the cold on my route to the large imposing edifice by I Friends or victims – this is yet to be seen!
