[IRP] The Dead One Calls

[Toogee]

"I see," Paige replied, making a note of the regular supply run. She wouldn't blame the tanner for not thinking ill of it, but the librarian knew there likely wouldn't be another visit from the apprentices. Still, she needed answers about the current situation. Shad would be determined to march on the castle; they needed to know what they were walking into. As Cecily approached and stood next to her, Paige had more confidence in prying further on the status of the castle.

"And this man, Laurent," Paige asked. "Would he be able to get us in contact with the castle? Our party has traveled quite a way to visit an old friend from the castle. You wouldn't happen to have heard of a man named Marcus? Captain Marcus Carvax of Arretium?"

As she said the words, Paige was reminded of when she first met Marcus back in the tea shop in Pherae. She had meant to look up the Arretium family history, but sadly, events had prevented from doing extracurricular research. She hoped his name meant something in this village. She wanted to know if they knew what became of Marcus.
