From the Ashes... A new king's day?

[Merc]

"Hrm, well, what to do while Jan is out church hunting?" Felix mutters to himself once Leets seems to agree on heading south.

Not really having any idea on what to do, Felix simply goes hunting for any stores with anything interesting. Perhaps some new spells to learn now that he's gotten better with the spells he started out with. Well, that, or a nice drink. Not like he'll be driving after all.

"Well, I dunna 'boy you boys, but I'm all fer a rest. Think I'll go out an' find myself a saloon 'round 'ere. Wind down 'an relax a bit, 'fore goin' all out again."

[Dracos]

As the trio made their way around the merchant district of Baron, they did in fact come across both stores that claimed to teach magic and a place that seemed, at a glance, to be a saloon.  Leets focused on figuring out where they should go next as they walked and discussed.

Felix spotted two such places, as different as night from day.  The windows were dark in the first one as a sign on top painted the picture of a scroll, the open doors belying its otherwise closed looking appearance.  No visible name was across its front.  Another was a lively storefront, sweet fragrances tracing across the path before it, bright light showing inside as a young woman with long blue hair in a white robe stood at the counter, mixing things.

The saloon that Mary sought was quickly found, a sizable venture of stone and camraderie, where good rooms, good food, and good ale looked to be found.  While it was a bit early in the day, the sounds of life could be heard from the pleasant looking place.

Jan:

The castle was a peaceful place.  One could almost forget the hardships that  were reflected outside of baron here.  While not as naturally beautiful as the elven village, it was place of stone and structure, a bastion of order and reliability that was built into every stone.

Felix heads to the store with the lovely storefront first, looking around as soon as he enters the store.

Mary wanders into the saloon and looks around breifly before heading straight to the bartender.

"Two 'a yer strongest, 'tender. I got things that need 'ta be drank away."

[Dracos]

Mary:

The bartender waves him over to one of their many tables as there seems to not be seats near the bar itself.  Shortly after, a young waitress heads over, carrying two mugs of something fairly dark.

Felix:

"Hello there," The young woman greeted on entrance.  "My name is Mary.  Can I help you with anything?" Lots of potions and things seeemed to grace the wall, though any scrolls and whatnot seemed to be behind the counter.

"I was just looking for the most part, my dear," Felix says politely. "I'm something of a beginner at the arts of magic, and looking for new things to learn."

[Dracos]

"Ah, you've chosen the right side to study," The young woman nodded. "White magic is helpful in all kinds of ways."

Leets watched his comrades split apart for a brief moment, before he continued along the road. Maybe a little exploring to pass the time couldn't hurt... did they have a place to meet up again later? Hmm...

[Iron Dragoon]

Mary takes the mugs with a somber smile for the waitress and softly sets one down in front of the empty chair next to him. With a few moments of silent staring at the mug, he raises his in a salute and begins drinking..

"'Ta strange friends from strange times, and men better'n myself."

[Dracos]

Leets:

It came to the young lad that they'd not agreed on any meeting place.  Lucky, the castle town, while sizable, was not the metropolitan skyline of New Reno, and if he wanted to find them, he probably could easily.  It helped that both Felix and Mary had just left him shortly on the street.

Leets shrugged off the relatively minor concern, and continued by himself to look around Baron.

It was by this temporary distraction that he happened upon a certainly unique sight, even by his usual standards. "Player's Guide?" he mumbled, mentally juggling the disturbingly familiar term. He continued watching the actions of the strange man, his curiosity hooked by the book he was waving around.

[Merc]

Felix tilts his head at that response. "White magic, you say? What does that entail exactly, miss?"
