The loud snoring coming from the other cell makes it impossible to hear anything else and there is a strong smell of urine. Looking around Samel's cell, Dora notices that it has a window high on the wall. The window is barred, but through it Dora can see the night sky.

The sheriff returns after a little while looking angry. "Damn them," he says as he comes into sight of Dora. "Those two apprentices have disappeared on us, despite my orders."

Still looking angry, the sheriff says, "They are something of a law unto themselves, I'm afraid. So there is not much I can do accept send in a formal complaint."
Turning to look at the boy in the cell, he then adds, "... Which I shall do later today. But for now, let us see what more we can find out from our remaining witness. I would like to hear his story from the beginning."
However, hearing could be a problem because the sound of snoring from the next cell has, if anything, only become louder.
"Handleader," begins the sheriff harshly. "Go and wake up that drunkard in the cell next door and tell him that he will be thrown back out into the streets, if he does not lie on his side."

I don't like this at all, drunks are so unpredictable and I know none of the history of how the drunkard came to be here Leave the cell and look for the key hanging up and a pitcher of water. Take the key and pitcher, open the drunk's cell door, place key in my pocket, walk to drunk and splash water on their face from the pitcher before taking a step back, keeping my hand on the hilt of my scimitar and watching carefully for how they react.
Dora opens up the cell and enters it. She picks up a bucket of water that has been left in the cell for the use of the inmates and is about to use it on the snoring drunk when she recognises him. He was one of the contestants at the Shepherd's Rest earlier tonight—the man named Pallo who was one of the two men Hazluk employed to escort him back to town. She splashes water on his face and steps back as the man wakes with a start.
"What the!" splutters the man in Stemian as he drags himself upright.
[OOC: Hope you had a nice Christmas and New Year.]

The 30th was a nice day fortunately, but we have now been plunged into self-isolation because of a close contact with one of Lucy's friends who tested positive on a Rapid Antigen Test... Not that we had plans to go anywhere, but we are now having to experiment with the home delivery of groceries and I have had to put my eBay shop into holiday mode because I can't get out to the post office.]

Pallo accepts the bucket and drinks the last dregs from it. He then wipes his chin and says, "Thank you, Handleader. What are you doing here? I last saw you at the Shepherd's Rest."

The Stemian man gets to his feet unsteadily and says, "Yes, I should be able to make my way home now, I think..."
Then, in answer to Dora's other question, he says, "Brutha? He is okay. He gave me a couple of lions for escorting him to the bridge..." He groans then and brings a hand up to his head before adding, "I wish I had his head for liquor though."
