Blinks slightly at Rando's answer and scratches his head for awhile after the man leaves. He leans on his staff tiredly.
When did i ask about Star…? Was that what i asked?
The elf looks even more confused now. He sighs and hobbles off grumbling after some minutes of trying to figure out things.
Didn't even answer one of my questions…just leaves an old elf all confused...and they say i am old....least i don't hear things..like questions that aren't asked...
He smirks slightly
well not very often at least.

_Also seen leaving with Star and Tala as they are released, was the tall, raven-haired man that seemed so upset about their confinement when it happened.
He travels with a young girl, perhaps not much older then ten or twelve… The two of them had been staying in the Boarshead for the duration of Star's sentence... She shares the traits of the man she travels with, raven hair, silver eyes... It is obvious this man is her father. They are both very happy when Tala and Star are released, wasting no time in leaving the town in favor of their own home._
-
Her time up and her fine paid in full a shaking and anxious looking girl, thinner and paler than two weeks previously, is escorted straight home for a bath and decent meal by her mother.

- Milla is seen wandering around the jail, looking thoughful. Taking her journal in her pack, she start writing on a page. Some time later, after being satisfied with what she wrote, she is seen taking out the page and have it delivered to one of the guard. Then, she is seen going near the water, next to Wald's mill. She waits there for about one hour, then walks out of town by the north gate, sadness in her eyes, mumbling in elvish.
Some time later, she is seen coming back from the same way, heading for the Militia building. She then tries to contact Rando, asking him if he has received her letter. *
((OOC Rando, look to your PM if you haven't
You can reply me there.))
-
Star paces, eyes constantly searching the corners and the shadows. She rarely stays still only settling when her mother insists on holding her for a while to try and make her sleep. The strain is showing on the young girl and she eats and drinks only mechanically and only when Tala tells her to.

You know folks, there is indeed a law in Norwick that clearly states being "concealed" and "invisible" is not allowed. For the lack of a better term, I put "stealthed" on the warrant. Should you all seem to take such incredible offence to that - then I am sorry.
Perhaps a better term for this would be "skullking" or something. The fact that a player in this situation will use the mechanics of the game engine to avoid capture is fine I suppose but I refuse to believe that a character CANNOT be caught simply because they can roll a freaking 40 or higher on a hide roll. RP is the key here… "hiding" behind the mechanics of the game isn't.
Sorry.
OOC OFF//

Rando looks at Ohtar and shrugs and walks off
"She broke the law, end of story. She is serving her sentance and will be released. So nothing more to be said on this matter."
-
::chuckles as he walks through one time::
Damn, where was all this when I was having people coming up and poking me about how "horrible" peltarch was for arresting people for actually shooting folk. Would've made my job sooo much less stressful.
Wonder if i could get away with assulting and threatening death upon rando like I was kind enough to let him slip by with up north.
::just grins as he heads out the south gate::
-
The next time Rando is walking around Norwick he feels a small tapping on his shoulder. When he turns he may be surprised to see the old elf known as Ohtar behind him. The elf squints at Rando and then nods to himself after being sure he has the right person.
Whats this "stealthing" i hear about? Does that mean walking on your tippy toes…or maybe keeping low to the ground...or oh...maybe just that you didn't notice the person in question even if they are standing next to you....
The elf looks perplexed as he leans tiredly on his walking stick pondering what kind of answer he will get. He even scratches his own head. It almost seems like he may have been asking himself the questions. Then he suddenly seems to remember more questions.
Oh…and does this new law mean you have to sit in a cell if you get caught for "stealthing" which means....sneaking? But then...can you be sneaking if you get caught...and if you can...and you DO have to sit in a cell for it...What kind of food could you expect?
The elf thinks over what he just said a moment after he finishes and then nods with a pleased smile. He seems to have gotten it all correct. He then waits with serious looking anxiousness for Rando's answer
-
Rumour spreads that the sentance was hard, but Rando being mercifull has reduced it to 2 weeks Jail and 1000 in gold.
-
A tall, dark-haired man is seen stomping into town not long after Tala and Star, he curses under his breath in elven out of bad habbit. He immediately seeks out Rando upon arriving, apparently to have words with him, and seeming none to happy about it.
((will catch you IG, on IRC, or forum PM if all else fails.))
-
Scheherazade reads the notice, and can't fail to stifle a giggle. She's heard mumbling something about "uptight city folk" as she travels through, shaking her head.
-
A pale elf in red robes is seen pacing back and forth in front of the sign with a series of letters in his hand. He stares at the pages reading them over while rubbing his chin. Upon seeing star taken in, he tucks the papers away in his pack and looks to his feet for a moment lost in thought. He shakes his head and makes his way back to his room at the Boarshead.
-
A druid clad in green leathers and with shaggy blonde hair, notices Star going into the jail. A slight smirk can be seen on his face as he walks by…
-
Upon hearing of this, Erugdish spits on the gorund in Norwick and walks away, muttereing things about no honour, being "tricksey" and othr things.
-
Cike shakes his head and begins to walk around Norwick from now on. He can be heard muttering, "Stand guard over the walls defending as well as any milita why do we bother if this is the result?"
//If ever Cike is seen walking through Norwick it should be assumed that he is not there and walking around the town unless he replies or states otherwise seeing as how there is no way around the bottleneck that is Norwick.
-
Tala and a very anxious looking Star arrive soon afterwards at the Militia barracks and hand themselves in. Both are placed in the same Cell where Tala sits holding a shaking Star.
((OOC Star has no gear on her when she arrives except one outfit, too lazy to sort her inventory twice by giving it to Torin and Celest IG))
Kerrith takes charge when they arrive with a feral grin and happily shoves them into the cell, searching each first and being slightly disappointed with the results.
-
Within hours, the sign has been modified again, this time with a simple grammar correction. The grafitti artist seems to have added the words "of an" between "defacing" and "official"
-
addition is cross out and a warning is added. Any defacing offical sign is a punishable offence
-
An asterisk appears next to the words "stealthed in town" on the posters at the gates, though not on the barracks. It seems to correspond to a footnote at the bottom
*New town ordinance: All citizens must wear collars with bells at all times while within town limits.
Additionally, standing outside of a militia-member's line of sight is now a fineable offense. All citizens will be assessed monthly fines, as there was probably at least SOME point where the Lord Protector couldn't see you, due to such reasons as being inside his house, or asleep. This is your fault, and you owe us money because of it.
