Outfitted

Ostiarium - Stoneshade Keep Armory
JP with Lucian, Bandorchu, and Omni

Looking around as he waited, Tarmen saw Alexis chatting with her friend as she was gearing up. He felt a smile form, a genuine one. She needed this and he was glad she had some old friends still living, a rare commodity indeed.

It also reminded him of their other task, calling back to the laborer.

"I also need a spare set of steel, but I will be choosin' it myself. Show me what is available."

The laborer looked a little afraid to respond, but he did so anyway as he walked a little closer to Kane just in case there would be trouble, “Emm… afraid we’re under orders from the Lord Commander that only one full set of armor is to be given per soldier and they must be present at fitting. We’ve got you down for the chain mail shirt and gauntlets… and we can provide you a helm, greaves, and the like as well… a shield if you’re keen to one… or we can swap it out for a set of full steel if you like.”

Hmph. Figured. Tarmen had made do with worse and he knew Voah could as well.

"I'll take what I can. Leather for the helmet and tighter greaves. A light shield, buckler if you have them."

He could mend the leather to fit Voah, wouldn't be comparable to Alexis's friend, but he knew how to work armor to do the job. The greaves he was less sure of, but his statement hadn't been a lie. He would take what was offered.

“Aye. That we can manage,” replied the laborer who proceeded to help Tarmen with the finest pieces he could offer and the fullest amount that he able to allow.

With that, the two were outfitted and would only need to return a couple of hours later for the items that needed touched up.

Overhearing that there was nothing more to salvage from the armoury due to the strict regulations, Alexis said her goodbyes to Kane for the time being and reconvened with Tarmen.

“Might as well go to the Hare. Hear what the word on the street is.”

Preferably from a certain ‘gaunt lad’, unless she managed to get herself into even more trouble out there.

Tarmen nodded, gathering his things and leaving with Alexis.

Assuming everything had gone alright with Voah and her scouting, the two had planned to meet up with her at the Drunken Hare for updates on the situation.
