Editing ALVATIA: Ingsby - Inn (section)

==Inn Transients==

The inn gets an average of one guest per night; sometimes none, sometimes more. These guests are usually freemen from nearby villages going to ''-A NEARBY-'' town -- when villeins or cottars travel on their lord's business, they bring their own food and sleep in barns, under bridges, in their cart, or in the open. One or two dozen villagers stop by each day for a pint of ale -- mostly in the late afternoon.

Lately, Robert the servant of Father Wallace has been stopping here every evening. He and sergeant Gerard have a pint together. See IngsbyRectory for details.

===Sargeant Gerard===

[[ALVATIA:_Ingsby_-_Inn#Sargeant_Gerard|Sargaent Gerard]] has been staying here for several days. He was sent by the Sheriff of Vilgarth to capture [[ALVATIA:_Ingsby_-_Shrine#Auberon|Auberon]], a fleeing felon. [[ALVATIA:_Ingsby_-_Inn#Sargeant_Gerard|Gerard]] has not been able to persuade Sir Dennis, lord of the manor, or [[ALVATIA:_Ingsby_-_Rectory#Father_Wallace|Father Wallace]], the village priest of [[ALVATIA:_Religion_-_Saint_Carmund|Saint Carmund]], to allow him to violate sanctuary. In fact, he is not eager to violate law and custom anyway; he would prefer to capture [[ALVATIA:_Ingsby_-_Shrine#Auberon|Auberon]] by guile and skill. His plan is to obviously and openly depart Ingsby, and when [[ALVATIA:_Ingsby_-_Shrine#Auberon|Auberon]] creeps forth -- some hired goons (the players) leap upon the miscreant! [[ALVATIA:_Ingsby_-_Inn#Sargeant_Gerard|Gerard]] can afford a shilling or two to hire goons, but would prefer to spend less (as the money comes out of his own pocket).

[[ALVATIA:_Ingsby_-_Inn#Sargeant_Gerard|Gerard]] has a horse, saddle and tack, spurs, gambeson, hauberk, helmet, shield and surcoat with the Sheriff's mark, a bedroll, travelling cloak and pack, dagger, sword, 40' feet of rope, a water bag, and some preserved meat. He is a competent outdoorsman and horseman, but only a fair swordsman.
