DAY 180 (8th Eleint) cont..
Corum also told Fenrir that he had not seen anything of Cavu since the orc horde invasion force had arrived at the city gates.
Puzzled, Fenrir went to the Singing Sword but there was no sign of him.
He left the following message :
'FTS. Back in city. Contact ARD - Splinter Stair'
As the evening darkened he went to talk to his friend Dorothea Goodwyn his source of information in the Temple of Oghma. He asked her to research into how warlocks could change 'patrons'.
At eight o'clock he returned to the 'Hippo' to sleep.
DAY 181 (9th Eleint)
At eight in the morning he was woken by Cavu himself poking him. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes he could see that the bard was disheveled and red around the eyes, in short he looked like he had not slept in a tenday.
The bard said :
'I have to get a system together to deal with this! I'm being driven mad by trying to be in three different places at once all the time! Can you handle it for one day? I need to sleep... no! I need to hire some reliable people to do this for me so I can get back to the Kingsholm Quest.
Take this list and be at the addresses at the right time. Take this watch, its gnomish and accurate. Arg! I've got to be Skulls Street in fifteen minutes! Gotta go!'
Cavu handed Fenrir a gold pocket watch and a piece of paper. On the paper was written :
''
10:17 - 27 The Street of Silks. House with Red Door. 12.
13:22 - The Coffinmarch. The Snookery. 5
18:12 - Wharf Street. Mr Slipfish's House. 17.
21:35 - Tower Trail. House by itself. 19.
21:37 - Rook Alley. Stables. 5
''
Cavu then fled the room. Fenrir had some time so he disguised himself, had breakfast and went to the first address. At the appointed time he knocked on the door.
At that exact moment, a huge rock fell from the sky and crashed into the front of the building. Fenrir leapt out the way but was hit by flying stones and bricks and injured.
The house then collapsed in on itself and once the dust had settled Fenrir helped with the rescue effort as neighbours poured in.
But all twelve of the residence within were dead as all the pulled out were corpses.
Fenrir went on to the address and the door was answered by a servant.
He attempted to warn the servant and his master, Myrmith Splendor, but they were incredulous. Splendor sent his servant down to the Street of Silks to confirm what had just happened there and after Fenrir had agreed to stay and wait with them he ordered his household out into the street.
At the precise time a huge rock landed straight down on the roof sending masonry flying everywhere.
'ROGER ME!', cried Splendor, and when the dust had settled. 'Who are you my friend? You have saved my life!'
Fenrir gave his name, which surprised Splendor as he'd heard nothing good about him. Fenrir shrugged and smiled.
For the next two addresses he set up free tables of food and drink for the residents and did his best to persuade them all to go out for the night. He even had to buy all of Mr Slipfish's fish.
