No, see, what you do is, you get a muzzle for the dog, to keep it quiet. And you get a harness for the dog, with a loop on the back of the harness, for ease of handling. Then you have a blacksmith make an end cap for your ten foot pole, with a loop built in that you can thread a rope through. Then you tie the wardog to the ten foot pole, so you can carry the whole package quite easily somehow. And if you do get in combat after all, you can unmuzzle the dog and wield it from the second rank like a polearm, because it's probably pissed as **** by now, so it should be a real buzzsaw. :)
So sorry, everybody! Got swallowed whole by a work conference this week. Not much internet access, and never saw the light of day. I'm now sitting in the airport to head home, so we should be able to get back on schedule.
Any ideas for course of action? Hengist can totally break down the door and demand to tell his side of the story, but I suspect that's no longer exactly where we stand.
Maps are back up. I also haven't heard from barkman or Lucasdelsur in a while, which would be unfortunate, seeing as Kaul made off with the carved box...
No one said they weren't. To be clear, I haven't heard from the players. Read that as you will.

So, OOC, I suggest we
Retrieve Kaul and Gwydion; starting at the carpenter's place. I suggest furious questioning of those guards if we can't get into the building any other way.
Constable Thorsdun headed in the direction of Lord Mallory's manor, but you lost sight of him after he passed 'round the corner of the ruined building across from the Silver Scale Inn, and the party stood discussing things for several minutes more before following. It's certainly possible he could have doubled-back without the party seeing him.
Anyone else going to respond to Hengist's suggestion to go back to the inn? I'm going to move things ahead in that direction tonight without another response.
No worries. I've had a bunch of stuff go haywire in the last two days, but there's post updating the status of the party up, as well as some PMs sent. Let me know what the next plan is once you've had a chance to regroup.
Yes, in the workshop thread I believe he secreted himself away behind a secret compartment; that all being OOC knowledge, obvs. Not sure if Kaul would have witnessed more, he was with him.
Kaul saw Gwydion find the compartment, but then left, if I recall correctly. Hardrada is actually away until Monday, I believe, which is why I haven't been pushing too hard. That's going to change when he gets back, as I'd like to get rolling a bit faster.
