Hello there!  I might need a room for a while, if you've got one.

Search and Seizure

As Alann entered the main hall of Hawke's estate, the Knight-Captain's words from earlier were ringing in his mind.

"How much sleep did you get last night?"

Alann hadn't gotten any. When he had gotten home from the bar the night before, he stayed up through the night, waiting for Merideth to return for the warrant to search the bar. Without any sleep, the decision to send more Templars to search the Hanged Man more carefully was hazy in Alann's mind.

It didn't stop him from issuing a search team, however. Two hours after Alann left for the estate, four Templars clad in full armor with swords and shields made for the Hanged Man with orders to search every last nook and cranny of the bar, but only to defend themselves if they were attacked.

The rain was pouring down as they entered the bar.

On the Trail

Alann left out of the front door of the Hanged Man just as the sun began to peek over the distant horizon. He hadn't gotten any information from his search, but Maddoc and Isabela were hiding something. Maddoc especially. Whatever he had in his room was bound to be illegal.

Alann continued on back to the Hold regardless. This pair of fugitives was giving him too much trouble as it was, he didn't need anything else on his plate. Back at the Gallows, he would find out whether or not anyone else in the Order had found anyone or anything he could use in his search for Marian and Anders. He was also contemplating on sending a team to search Maddoc's room more carefully, that would put him at ease. Alann knew Maddoc and the Champion were friends, as well as Anders. That was reason enough to call another search.

With Marian being the Champion, it should not be too hard to find who she travels with Alann thought. The Order better have something for me. The sun suddenly went out. It had gone behind a mass of dark clouds that were gathering over the sea in the early morning. No more sunrise, today was a day for rain.

The drops began to fall as Alann walked into the gallows. He spotted Cullen standing near the steps to the Hold. "Cullen! What have you found so far on the Champion?" Alann asked, walking up to the Knight-Captain.

"Nothing so far Alann, it seems she somehow keeps a tight grip on any facts about her, she seems to be shrouded in a mist of tall-tales and lies." Cullen looked up at the clouds, the rain starting to come down harder. He looked back at Alann. "Your best bet would be to go to her estate. I doubt she would be there, but you might be able to speak with her family or anyone who lives with her. I'll keep searching for anything, and I'll let you know when I find something." He noticed Alann's eyes, and how they had dark circles occupying the space beneath them. "It's still pretty early Alann, how much sleep did you get last night?"

One hour later, and Alann was standing on the doorstep of the Hawke estate in the pouring rain. He knocked on the door. A few moments later, a dwarf answered it, "Oh, hullo, here to see Miss Hawke? Everybody seems tuh be nowadays."

Alann spoke, "Yes, I am looking for Marian. Is she in?"

"No, I'm 'fraid not, serah." He looked down at the ground. "She actually hasn't been in in a couple days. But enough of that! Come inside, outa the rain!" Alann walked in, a slight smile on his face. "Now ah didn't catch your name, Ser...?"

"Kinsella. Alann Kinsella."

"A pleasure to meet you Ser." They walked into the main hall of the estate.

Are you that guard at The Hanged Man? I go in there sometimes, though there have been some strange things going on in there recently... Heard any rumors around town recently?
