Episode 57 - The King's Festival

by Jack

The Protectors of the Pass perused King Steppengard's celebratory carnival, partaking in some frivolities as they kept watched for anyone wanting to message Lord Gallo. In their searching, Rayland and Bryn met Randas Slabovalles, a fiery chef who shared that he had recently been let go from the king's staff. Randas said he and the rest of the kitchen staff had been replaced by "specialists" to cater the king's banquet for the collected leaders of Dassen that evening. Before they could get more information though, city guards forced them to move along, indicating they didn't like Rayland and Bryn hearing this from the disgruntled cook.
 
As they toured the carnival, Winry, Myetharia and Jack were joined by a hooded figure who claimed he was one of the castle guards, also recently let go. Before leaving, he examined his previous post in the sewers used by Winry and Rayland to escape their imprisonment days prior. Finding no guard to replace him, the guard said he witnessed several priests taking delivery of many barrels that were then brought into the castle. The guard believed something very strange was happening, and that other guards may be on the lookout for him. Without taking questions, the hooded guard ducked away, leaving the friends to ponder his information.
 
Reunited, the Protectors of the Pass messaged Lord Gallo and instructed him to not eat or drink anything at the banquet, and to tell the other lords and ladies to do the same. Agreeing, Gallo suggested that if there was a plot afoot, the Book of Seven Lands would protect the leaders, causing the lord to wonder if something happened to the book itself. Considering this, the friends followed Rayland and Winry to the secret entrance to the castle, hoping they weren't too late to stop disaster.
