As you wander amongst the foothills of the Gerant Mountains, you soon find yourself approaching a small keep. The castle itself seems to be filled with activity as you approach. When you do reach the keep, you can hear much commotion coming from the main hall and the chapel.
(OOC: this is Alaric and Gerulf's wedding day)

At one point in their travels, the three priests of the Way of the Path wandered the foot hills of Gauldin. At this point, their journey to find their lost brother, A corrupted spirit had yielded nothing. Wearily, they headed for the castle,hoping to find refuge and perhaps word on their lost brother. |

The three priests would soon find themselves being stopped by the guards at the castle. "Halt there! What brings you to the keep?"

Glynnis Arabeth and Markos
New
Roleplay posts: 0 
Age: 26 (Glynnis), 31 (Markos)
Physical Description: Glynnis is a small, pale woman with a slight blue tinge to her skin. She burns easily but loves the outdoors, and so frequently has a slight sunburn.
Her ears are pointed, but she has the wide grey eyes of a human warlock. Her nose is crooked and she has a small scar on her chin from when she fell out of a tree as a child. Her hair is as red as an apple and is most frequently tied back severely and hidden with a hood. She is also quite short (5'2).
...
Markos is a robust man with brown skin. He has a rough, but short beard and surprisingly soft brown eyes. He has scars all over his back and shoulders that are usually visible to the world.
His face is square and wide-set, with a smooth nose and strong chin. Many think of him as handsome, with shoulder length curly hair as dark as a raven.
Clothes and Equipment: Glynnis is almost always wearing a hood to hide her red hair. With no exceptions she has a journal and small dagger that's mainly used for utility purposes rather than anything violent. She has a satchel with many pockets and a box filled with herbs and other ingredients. She also carries bottles that she routinely washes out after using.
Markos has well worn leather armor, a bow and arrow strapped to his back and an iron sword that he neglects sharpening. He usually wears leather gloves that are also somewhat thick. Usually, he also carries most of the supplies on his back.

A mousy woman peers at the keep in the distance, "You see that, Markos?"
The bodyguard shrugs, "Shelter and warm food?"
She stares at him blankly, "The moss at this keep in well known for its spongy qualities. I need a sample. And then it's back to work!"
The man is exasperated, "Surely you would at least try to get lodging?"
Glynnis shrugs, "Perhaps. But scuttlefly season is running out on us and I've yet to find all the rare fourth sex of their species. And I would doubt they keep nests of scuttleflies in the keep."
"...Scuttlefly season is running out on you. You. We've been travelling for two weeks, we need to at least fill up on supplies," says Markos with a stern look.
"But-"
"If you die out there no one will be able to collect the damn scuttleflies."
This seems to get her consideration. "Alright, we'll ask for lodging and get a sample on the way out," she raises her eyebrows, "I need my moss fresh and spongy."
...
As it usually turns out for her, climbing down a hill is a lot harder than climbing up. With Markos holding her hand she takes uneasy steps on the rocks, rather than grass slick with dew. The benefit of travelling for a long time is that your load gets lighter and lighter as you use up supplies, but she now just noticed that she had a grumbling tummy and only a biscuit as a ration. She doesn't complain, however, as she trusts Markos to handle the complicated matters of cooking food, not getting robbed and reminders to sleep. Her mind was full of scuttleflies, spongy moss, acidic tree bark and other such things. So was her journal.
As they get closer it seems obvious there is some sort of fanfare. The busyness of the atmosphere is unwelcoming to Glynnis but Markos is happy to see other people whose minds aren't occupied entirely with their field of study.
Glynnis is so focused on the other people that she walks into the back of a man stopped by some guards.

I never knew why I was curious about the festivities coming from the keep, but I was drawn to its cheer. "A quick peak." Is what I told myself and that, "Nothing will go wrong." I saw the three priests being stopped by the guards so I needed to find another way in without being detected. I also needed to do so without being detected.

"I'm curious as to what's happening inside. Might you tell me?" I know my exit plan if I needed to bolt but I don't know what these guards will do, who knew that their answer would only peak my interest more.

I know my exit plan if I needed to bolt but I don't know what these guards will do, who knew that their answer would only peak my interest more. "A wedding, between Sers Gerulf Oakenheart and Alaric Greencloak. I've known Alaric for years. He's a good man, and a good knight as well." They bundled their cloaks around themselves as the snow falls. |

The snow fell giving me a chill down my spine or it could be because the wedding was of Nobility.
"Is this wedding open to the public or will I need an invite from the man and women of the night?"
I had no business there, and I sure as hell could have been making some money but something didn't sit right in my stomach. But i just had to see what was happening in the keep. I had a bottle of some premium illegal liquor from the south I could leave as a wedding gift if only I could get in.

Glynnis stared blankly for a moment, and then straightened her posture and looked the guard in the eye, "I'm Glynnis Arabeth, petty naturalist of the Vessian Council of Natural Philosophy. For the sake of research, I ask for temporary lodging and to be granted some supplies. Also I want access to the deepest, warm, moist parts of your castle."
Markos liked seeing her being more direct for once. He cleared his throat, "I'm just a bodyguard. Wilderness is dangerous and all that."

The guards facing said, "I assume the men would love to see some more people at the wedding. They would love to celebrate it with you. We have to search you for any weapons, illegal substances, things of that nature." The guard facing Glynnis said, "AYe, we can try and provide that, but with it being the wedding and all, you might want to try the tavern in town. They should have a room they can put you in."

I pulled out my bottle of illegal spirits, "I brewed this myself and thought it'd be a fitting gift for the couple. I'll give you all my weapons but I'd prefer to keep my knife and cigars. If that's alright?"

"I'm sorry, but any alcohol must be approved by the brewer's guild. You'll need to pay a fine for brewing it yourself.", the guard says calmly.
