For Turin and company:

"I ask because as guard captain of this encampment it is my duty to know what strangers are doing here. Now come my Lord must be growing impatient." He opened the heavy wooden doors and led them in. Inside the building was richly decorated with mostly gold or silver decorations. Several guards stood around the corridor at the end of which there was another door, of approximately the same size and strength as the entry door. The guards saluted their captain who then led Turin, Robyn and Roland towards the door with Therlion being half pushed and half dragged behind the group. Two guards at the end of the corridor opened the door as they approached. Inside was a room even more decorated than the corridor before it. The room was about fifteen times forty meters (OOC: about 50-130 feet). A long table was placed in the middle of the room. People all around the table were eating their supper, servers stood around the tables jumping on every opportunity to serve the guests. The guests were mostly male with a few females. A vacant spot close to the end of the table had probably been occupied by the captain earlier.

At the end of the table on a seat a bit higher than the rest sat a man who just by his appearence generated a certain respect. He looked to be in his fifties with a short beard and short black hair. The man had a round face and a body which was not yet showing any signs of fatness. As the group approached his end of the table he turned to his dining companions, probably excusing himself for a few minutes and then stood up. With a movement of his hand he signaled something to the captain then went through a door behind the table. The captain turned to the group:"This way please." He led the group the same way the man had left. The door had been left open and he went through it first, then followed two of his guards with Therlion then Turin, Robyn and Roland and finally three more guards. These three took up guard positions along the wall, while the two who had brought Therlion stayed close to him.

The room looked like a study with bookshelves along the wall. Most of the covers of the books were in languages that none of the group could understand. The man who had been at the head of the dining table was standing in front of a small fireplace in the room. "As you may have guessed I am Lord Easthome. It is not to my pleasure that I have to leave the dinner table during the dinner so lets just settle the affair with this elf and then how about you joining me and my guests at the dinner table and we discuss other matter there? How much do you want for the elf?" The guard captain had by now positioned himself in a place from where he could easily defend his lord, and survey the whole situation.
