Mondes turns and gruffly whispers back, "Oi dunno, Daisie... Oi've kinda grown attached to the ugly brute. Mebbe we's can keep 'em." Then he chuckles and spits on the ground.

Desmond slowly shakes his head in disbelief.

Dieter won't want to put his weapons down.

He will, if Josiane specifically asks him to, but it'll be a bit of a moral dilemma for him.

OOC: What rules do we have for unarmed combat? Just in case...

Torben

Torben will relinquish his weapon acquiescently, but only if the rest of the party follow suit. If that's the case, however, he will request to stand guard over the arms with another member of the clergy present.

In the meantime, he's content to hum softly to himself while things get sorted out.

Wen would whisper to Rufus. "They've gone in, shall we move closer?"

OOC: IS there any place closer that seems a good spot to move to or is the crag the best view of the area?

The nun blinks twice, and then dotes to Josinane "Ohh, isn't he just so clever?" with an adoring grin splitting her wrinkled face. Then she says more generally, "Our walls protect us here, but you're right; one can never be too cautious. Come along then, to the infirmary!" and leads the way down the right hand passage at a hobble.

Not in the monastery where Josiane was schooled, but individual abbey's each have their own quirks and practices, according to the whim of the local Mother Superior. It may be that the Sister is performing some kind of penance...

"That he is," replies Josiane with her sweetest smile; "Shall we follow the good Sister, gentlemen?"

She then drops back out of the Sister's earshot to whisper softly to Torben; "And will you be so good as to go and unbar the gate to allow our companions entrance, friend Torben? I fear we shall need all our number within the walls, and the sooner the better..."

The crag that you camped behind last night is well hidden from sight of the abbey, and somewhat downhill. There are many intervening rocks, gullies and rises that could hide a small number of people from sight -- but few of these would conceal the entire company.

Torben

Torben nods. He continues to hum softly to himself as he dawdles behind the rest of the group. He gives the area a quick visual inspection before setting aside his spear. When the time is appropriate, he will slowly and carefully slide each bolt from its position. If possible, he will also attempt to impair the bolts' capacity to secure the door in the future (or at least inhibit quick and easy use therein).

Once the door is sufficiently dealt with, he will rest his spear on his shoulder. After, he will stand guard at the door, attempting to conceal the nature of the bolts' status with his frame and the shield on his back. He will then resume his humming, content to appear unassuming for as long as it proves useful.

Gustave eyes Ulric suspiciously as the nun does a sudden about-face. The words 'these are not the droids you are looking for' drift inexplicably across his mind, leaving him momentarily confused.

Higher purpose drives The Gustave, however, and with the possibility of Sisters in Distress ahead, he shakes his head clear and with a flick of the thumb to the side of his nose, takes off after the others.
