A Voyage through the woods

[Dracos]

"True, let's see... what's a good name to sign him up under?  Something the sheriff won't suspect?"  The friar walked over, leading him through the line to sign up on Ye Auld Application Form for Expertise in Archeries.

Finally finding a nice spot to practice after wandering around the church a bit, Vash wonders when Tylor and the friar will come back. Shrugging, he pulls the bow off his back and draws an arrow. Aiming at a nearby tree, Vash is surprised a bit at how familiar holding a bow seems to be. Deciding not to worry about it, he starts to shoot.

[Dracos]

Vash:

Indeed, after a few shots, it felt as comfortable as firing his old rifle.  As if his skill had simply transitioned onto the new weapon.

[DY]

Satisfied with the results, Vash decided to shoot a few more arrows before heading back to the church. Maybe those two would be back by now?  If not, he could at least rummage around for something eat. That bread earlier wasn't enough to satisfy his appetite.

[Dracos]

He was rather hungry...and town wasn't too far away.  Maybe he could kip over there for a bite.  Surely he had some money, checking his pouch he found some.

Though the friar had said he should be careful.  Scrounging around the pantry, it seemed mostly cheese and bread for the available options, with a small amount of fruit.

[DY]

Taking a look at his options, he decided that what was available wouldn't be filling enough. Having decided that, Vash started to head out the door and into town but stopped when he remembered the friar's words about being careful. He grabbed one of the friar's robes and put it on with the hood up. Hopefully that should keep people from paying too much attention to him. With that done, he started leisurely strolling into town whistling tunelessly.

"Hmm," Tylor muses, "I really don't know.  Something that seems good to you; I could only really suggests names we probably shouldn't use, all things considered."

[Dracos]

Tylor:

"Well then...  how about, Robin Loxeley?"  The friar nodded jotting it down.   "Ah, the tournament will be tomorrow morning, so you should do anything you need to do before bed tonight?"  The friar's eyes flicked up to the tower briefly before shaking her head.

"We should get some food.  My church doesn't have much for three to eat," He smiled.

[Dracos]

Vash:

Much like Tylor had seen, the outskirts of the town near the church was a bit run down and desperate.  It looked like deeper in there was some noble quarters, but he could probably find a shop here too.

Folks didn't seem to be paying him much attention.  With a wedding coming soon, there was a lot of guests coming into the town.

[Brian]

Pondering the tower and the (presumably) fair maiden within, Tylor muses about maybe arranging a chance to sneak in and visit her?  She's probably related to the ribbon somehow, and if not, she's probably pretty.

Better check in with Vash and tell him his cover name first, though.  Plus, maybe he could help distract the guards or something -- or play wingman if there was more than one maiden in said tower.

[DY]

Looking around, Vash tried to find a shop that sold some food. Preferably, large amounts of it for cheap. In a town like this there should be a few restaurants right? If not that then at least an inn. He headed towards what looked like the center of the town.

[Dracos]

On the way back, Tylor notices a familiar face heading into one of the inns.  It's mostly hidden under a hood, but it seems Vash got bored waiting for them to get back.

[Brian]

"Oh, hey!" Tylor calls.  "V--"  He almost trips over the Friar before catching himself.  "Robin..."  Wait, what was it, again....  He glances at the cowl and almost says 'Hood' before dismissing that as a silly name.  Oh!  Right!  "...of Loxley!  There you are!"

[DY]

Hearing a voice call out, Vash pauses in his quest for food and wonders why it sounds so familiar. Looking around, he spys Tylor with the friar and jogs towards the two. "Hey! Where you two about to head back to the church? And why did you call out for Robin of Loxley? Who's that?"

[Brian]

"That's you!" Tylor exclaims with a broad wink, elbowing Vash in the ribs.  "Signed you up for the tourney and everything!"
