Lucius Orlock was a quiet man. The group of three adventurers soon found that out.
They made it to the nearest village, just on the edge of the Forest of Fireflies.
The first thing they did was go to the nearest inn and rent rooms.
The boys got one for themselves, and Lucius and Diana each got a separate room.
Lucius because they wanted to butter him up so that he could, in turn, butter his father, and Diana because it would not have been proper otherwise.
The night was pleasant and warm inside the inn, but bitter cold outside of it. The adventurers were all huddled in front of the big fireplace downstairs, and they were making plans for what they needed to do.
"We have to take a wagon! Lucius barely made it here," Diana said.
"True, he is rather weak. And we need to get him new clothes. But there is no seamstress in the village. I already asked," Dereck said.
"Maybe the innkeeper could spare a set? He is of a similar build to Lucius," Elmar said.
