The Night Rose - Chapter 34

“Oh, Arwin, nice to see you here again. I guess your night was wild seeing your expression.” Mark said, while yawning.

He just woke up and was going to come and eat something.

“There is a porridge ready, so eat and report after that and Arwin, you can give your report now.” The doctor said while sitting on the table and waiting for Arwin and Mark to get in the table.

“So, let me start then,” Arwin said and took her notebook out and started to share the things she had discovered at the bar.

“So now we also have the robe, so when we deliver the wood there, someone can mask themselves and prepare either the ship or go and help with the looting so it might make our job somewhat easier.

But Mark, your report will be the most important, and I hope that there are crucial parts that will make our plans to succeed.” Arwin said while naturally taking the position of a captain.

“Yes, I have great news for you.

So I scouted the roof, and there was no one actually guarding the roof, so I had free hands to scout the building.

So I was looking at the hatch thing you had to put on the map, and I actually discovered a secret.

So I followed the map to the point where the hatch should be, but there was nothing than an empty roof, but I saw a small handle and pulled it, and it was an almost empty room.

But there were few notes, books and scrolls which I took with me as they were about the natives and the wilderness out there and there was also the hatch going down to the storage.

So if I have to guess, the storage wasn’t originally there but some kind of a research room that was completely forgotten and not searched out.

Or then sealed off and not wanting the secrets to see sunlight.

But otherwise, we can use this access to break in the storage room.” Mark said while finishing his breakfast.

“Wonderful, then we will go by our plans and loot the place empty while escaping to the wilderness,” Arwin said while showing out her happiness.

“Now we should only get Timothy to our side and the rest, and we would have the perfect crew to do business and explore this place.

But for now, Mark continue to search the guild, but this time at day time, say it’s a business trip or something and try to get a clearer map.

Doctor, can you make a sleep medicine or something that we could place on a darts that we could use against the guards then?

But nothing lethal as we wouldn’t want to cause more trouble between them and us.” Arwin started to give orders to the two of them naturally and they didn’t mind it at all.

“Yes, I can do a patch of a sleep medicine that we can use to dip the tips of the darts but the problem is where will we get money to buy them as of course, I know few people that are willing to sell the items if the price is right.” The doctor said while showing his empty pockets.

Arwin placed the pouch of money to the table while saying.

“There are sixty gold coins, so I will give you both twenty while leaving twenty for myself.

The rest of the money that is left we will put to savings that we share among us, so everyone has to contribute there then at least something.” While taking the other pouch out that she had received back when she collected her weapons.

“Yes, this is plenty enough for me to buy all of the necessary ingredients and the blowpipe and darts.” The doctor said while looking the gold coins in his hands now

It was more than he had ever received from Silas even when he had worked for him already five years, so he quickly pocketed the money happily that he could buy lots of necessary things now and that he didn’t have to eat porridge always at morning.

“Yes, this is plenty enough even for me to buy some necessary tools for this job.” Mark also said while taking his share before asking.

“Do I even want to know where you did suddenly got this much of money?”

“Oh, basically my bar night ended to fight, and the person I shot was the phantom murder, so I got fifty gold coins as the bounty reward and ten is because I was jailed while they were investigating the situation and I got attacked by a nightmare creature at the jail.

Annoying creature even when it’s not that much larger than a cannonball.” Arwin said casually, and she didn’t see how Mark’s and the doctors face changed before they shook their heads.

“At least that solved some problems to us, and you are still alive and safe, so we are quite a lucky at this subject then,” Mark said while still confirming that Arwin really was alright and well.

“Yes, but now move one as we only have two days before our plan starts!” Arwin ordered out while also heading outside to see the shops in the city.
