Ignoring Barne I check Maclan. Speak his name loudly. If he does not respond I check his pulse and his breathing.
[OOC: Maclan is still unconscious. He is breathing but doesn't respond when Dora tries to wake him. To try to determine what might be wrong with him, please make a Medicine check versus a DC 0f 15 for Dora. Dora is not proficient in this skill, but she still has a bonus of +1]

AKA: Phillip Berrie: writer, editor and academic thrillseeker—a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
While still obviously breathing, Maclan looks very pale in the light of the lamp on the wall; he does not look well to Dora at all.
Dora takes a seat so she can keep an eye on things and, in a little while—after asking her how she likes her char—Barne presents her with a steaming cup of the beverage.
He then takes a seat close to Maclan and the two sit in silence drinking for a while.
[OCC: Ignore what follows if you want to make conversation with Barne.]
Time passes and Dora even finishes her drink before she hears the sound of many voices coming from the front of the building.

I walk to the door where I can keep an eye on Barne and and on the hallway. I cock my ear towards the voices and try to discern if I know any of them.
Perception 10
[OOC: Dora doesn't recognise any voice in particular but the gist of the conversation is that someone is reporting a runaway horse and that the sheriff is requesting assistance. This request is met with resistance as there seems to be only two of the Watch in the building at the moment and at least one person needs to stay to main the desk.]

[OOC Thanks Phill. I have spoken to Andrew a few times since. I had planned to attend the service next week but I have been exposed to COVID this week ending on Thursday Morning (yesterday) and after talking to Andrew today I decided that my potential infectiousness was one worry he didn't need t have so I have offered my apologies.]
[OOC: Bad luck with regard to being exposed to COVID. Hope you don't have it.]
"Yes, I know Kurra, I look after him after the shift ends," says Barne. He then turns his head to look at Maclan. "He and the boss do not get on, but the way of the world is that the boss gets to drive the cart and I get to lift the barrels."
Draining his cup, Barne gets to his feet and says, "I had better go and find him. Losing those kids is going to be trouble enough, but losing the horse as well will just make things worse."
Barne moves towards the door and then stops. "Perhaps you had better tell them what I am doing. They may not believe me."

Looking tentative, Barne leads the way down to the front of the Sheriff's Office where there are two regular Watchmen and Handleader Ull, the only other female handleader in the Scholar's Ward Watch.
Ull turns toward Dora and Barne as they enter the room and for a moment she frowns before recognising Dora.
"Handleader Wallus," she says, "Is this the man who was injured? He seems hearty enough."
"No," says the handsman who let Dora in through the backdoor. "There be another one, who be in no condition to be up and walking."
"There be three of us here now," says the second handsman, brightening up. "Cannot someone come back with me and help us catch this damn horse. The sheriff sent me specially to round up help."

The watchman who Dora had previously told to find a healer replies, saying, "Healer Wattson will be here shortly. He lives nearby but had to get dressed and gather his kit."
Handleader Ull then takes charge, saying, "Right, you two take this man and go and help the sheriff. Handleader Wallus and I will hold the fort here until Wattson arrives."
[OOC: Dora could argue against these orders, but Ull has seniority in terms of her length of service and this is also her normal post. Let me know if you want something else done and we can go back, but otherwise the following happens.]
Following Ull's orders, the two handsmen and Barne leave the station.
"Busy night, eh Dora," comments Ull, retaking her position at the desk. "Hopefully it will make the sheriff see that we need more people for this watch."
[OOC: This time of the night would generally be very quiet at either of the watch posts, but Dora would know from experience that this post does tend to be busier than the one further out.]

She is an older person and while technically she is the same rank as Dora her normal role is 'Leader of the Watch'. This means her normal post is here in the Sheriff's Office while Handleader Ahman, who Dora saw earlier at the Brassman's house, is responsible for leading the watch patrols in the field.
Edit: I realised later that I made a mistake. Handleader Ahman is also a woman, so Dora and Handleader Ull are not the only female handleaders. Please ignore previous references to this similarity.]
"Tell me about it Wilma; dark magick, a double murder, a cart wreck and an injured man! How are you with me going back and sitting with the injured man?"
"You should know that we had a reluctant witness escape from out the back of the Sheriff's house. I jumped onto the nightsoil cart, which happened to be passing, and urged the cartman to give chase. The horse objected though and I left the cart and ran off in pursuit. The cartman and the horse must have carried on their disagreement after I left."
