Dec 04 16:26:01 *	GMJuly invited Carl_Gustavson into channel #thevillage.
Dec 04 16:26:34 *	Carl_Gustavson (1812b25e@ircip1.mibbit.com) has joined #thevillage
Dec 04 16:40:10 <GMJuly>	The others are gathered around the large fireplace within the great hall, attempting to warm themselves.
Dec 04 16:42:04 *	Shenna is here, keeping close to the fireplace as per usual.
Dec 04 16:42:31 *	Carl_Gustavson hunts around for a less-broken chair
Dec 04 16:43:16 <GMJuly>	There's a nearby one that isn't quite as broken. However, it's covered in splinters.
Dec 04 16:43:33 <GMJuly>	Many of the other chairs are of similar quality- or lack thereof.
Dec 04 16:44:13 <Carl_Gustavson>	"I swear, this place has more in common with an ogre den than human habitation..."
Dec 04 16:45:07 *	Shenna wrinkles her nose a bit. "I suppose we could do something about it rather than simply complain..."
Dec 04 16:49:27 <Shenna>	"I wouldn't know where to start, though."
Dec 04 16:51:01 <Carl_Gustavson>	"Furniture's fine work... I wonder if a good saw could be tracked down."
Dec 04 16:51:39 <Shenna>	"I'm not exactly the one to ask, but..." She shrugs a little, rubs her hands together. "I'll help, I guess? However I may."
Dec 04 16:53:38 <GMJuly>	Going down to the village may have something to show.
Dec 04 16:54:09 <GMJuly>	Villages of this size usually have at least one woodworker present, especially when it is so close to the forest's edge.
Dec 04 16:54:10 *	Carl_Gustavson goes looking for a saw - or anything that'll cut wood smoother than a hatchet
Dec 04 16:54:23 <Carl_Gustavson>	(And a woodworker, if one can be recruited)
Dec 04 16:54:43 *	Shenna goes with, she guesses? Assuming Carl is going to the village.
Dec 04 16:57:05 <Easnadh>	As the pair goes down to the village, the sound of a flute can be heard from the northern road, accompanied by the tell-tale creaking and cloppingsounds of a pony-drawn wagon.
Dec 04 17:05:11 <Easnadh>	Judging by the volume, the wagon is about to enter the village if it hasn't already.
Dec 04 17:06:42 <Carl_Gustavson>	"Travelers? Must have been a rough trip over the pass..."
Dec 04 17:12:08 <Easnadh>	As it trundles into the village proper, the wagon is revealed to be brightly painted, with various metal trinkets hanging from the roof and jangling against the sides. This is clearly not the kind of wagon designed for slipping quietly along the roads with a minimum of fuss, and the gaily-clad red-haired woman perched on the front playing a flute is clearly not the kind who cares.
Dec 04 17:12:48 <Shenna>	"Oh, it's her." Shenna waves a little.
Dec 04 17:15:16 *	Shenna doesn't, actually, but rather watches the spectacle with raised brows.
Dec 04 17:16:17 <Easnadh>	The woman gently eases her pony to a stop in the village green. The melody can be heard better now that the wagon is not moving - a high, tripping, lilting tune that nobody would likely recognise in the slightest.
Dec 04 17:21:50 *	Shenna nudges Carl gently, and eventually crosses to where the wagon is, listening attentively.
Dec 04 17:27:59 *	Godwinson (~DrDM@208.90.181.136) has joined #thevillage
Dec 04 17:32:27 <GMJuly>	Carl_Gustavson notices a building nearby- none too far from the village green- that appears to be that of a woodworker's.
Dec 04 17:33:07 <Easnadh>	Given her entrance, the wagon has probably been widely noticed as it pulled up in the village green, and she continues to play in an effort to coax out as big an audience as she can.
Dec 04 17:33:59 <GMJuly>	Some people do approach- mostly children, and some youth. The older villagers watch onwards, but most of them continue on their business, with very few of them approaching.
