He turns and smiles at the shopkeeper. "I'm flattered by your words and your generosity! Now, did you happen to notice where the woman that came in with us went?"
"Thank you for your patronage my dear " says the old woman with a smile while taking the gold that Dr. A. gives to her. "I do hope you do enjoy your reading.

Logan:
The tall man is surprisingly fast, even without the impediment of an armor, one could expect that a man of his size would be slow, but the muscular instructor moves like a panther. He moves around Logan looking for an opening and when he is at his right side, he seems to launch an attack. Logan reacts, putting the shield to that side, but the cunning instructor was just fainting and spinning over one feet he puts himself to Logan's other side, and goes for its real target. Logan's shield. He puts one sword over the corner of the shield and puts the other inside, between Logan's forearm and the shield itself, trying to cut the leather straps
( Spends one superiority dice to Feint so his attack roll is made with no disadvantage. He was going to do the same for advantage but.. life is hard. He spends another superiority dice to make a disarm attack targeting the shield.

On a hit Logan has to do a STR ST DC 16 or he will cut the leather straps and make him drop the shield to his feet )

Angling his shield just enough to catch the blade on the metal instead of the leather, Logan manages to narrowly defeat the swordmaster’s deceptive attack.
Trying to take advantage of the blade’s contact with his shield, Logan rides his shield up Oenomaus‘ blade and shoves hard at his wrist, trying to open up a gap for his sword to sneak in past his opponent’s guard.

"S..Stop" he finally says gathering some courage. "You are going to tell us where the scrollcase is... or else"
Gorm cocks her head to one side for a moment as if considering... And then pushes out at the man with her hands, attempting to shove the man prone.

The master instructor holds his ground but the maneuver still gives him enough room to launch his attack. Master Oenomaus barely manages to block it with one of his swords in the last second. He smiles.
"Look at that... the cub has fangs... "
He breaks the contact and turns lowering one of the swords low enough that, with the end of his movement, he throws some dirt towards Logan's eyes. Before he can recover he feels the other weapon sweeping his knees and he falls, back flat, in the ground.
Before he can recover Master Oenomaus is on top of him, the point of one of his swords in his throat.
"But still... only a cub."
The Master Instructor smiles and changes his sword for a hand, to help Logan stand up.
"He has heart" says the tall man to Sir Isteval "He needs to train but the cub has... potential..."he taps Logan's shoulder and turns towards the squires. "And as for you tadpoles. Is there any of you here able to explain to me how a man has been able to defeat three of you? Do not even start speaking Hendelz! That was a retoric question. Give me ten laps! All of you! NOW!"
As the Master yells at the recruits Sir Isteval takes Logan apart conducting him towards the covert part of the training yard.
"Please clean yourself" he says pointing to a barrel of water and serving a tankard of fresh water and offering it to Logan.
"You should be proud. I've only seen Master Oenomaus call someone "cub" once. That was a good swordplay"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Logan:
”Thank you, Sir Isteval. I have sparred with some of the adventurers from the Old Skull Inn, but have never had the opportunity for formal training,” says Logan humbly.
He shakes and pats off what dust he can, then splashes water and drinks some, taking a deep breath to recenter himself.

Gorm sidesteps the first attack, seeing the second tail in plenty of time to do so. They were sloppy thinking they had the drop on her, they were a bit more careful with their next attack but Gorm's grace and training allowed her to step out of range of the blade. At first sight of seeing the blade, Gorm had instinctively moved he hands to her own scimitars... But she resisted the urger, instead adjusting her movement to reach of and draw a pair of hand-axes instead.
Were these supposed to be bound as well? The though flutters through her brain quickly but is mainly ignored. They're more a tool than a weapon, and the man drew his own blade first...
Initiative: 18
Note: She'll be looking to hit them more with the handle than the blade. She's worried about killing people in a city... She's heard it is frowned upon. So she'll be doing Non-Lethal damage at least until I mention she changes up and goes full on attack mode. Would just still to bare handed but with weapons in her hand she can use two-weapon fighting to make use of the Bonus Action...

"Ah! I am well traveled, but well traveled is not always well learned my friend," Karvian says with a smile. "Now," he says lowering his voice, "if Gorm went outside because she saw someone, we should leave with some level of caution." Bending down as if he dropped something while putting the book into the bag, he slips his dagger from his boot, pressing the blade to his forearm to conceal it. Standing up, he begins towards the door and calls over his shoulder, "Thank you m'lady and we do wish you a wonderful day!"
Cautiously, Karvian steps out into the street looking around the corners as he does so for any sign of Gorm or the folks that have been tailing them.
Suddenly somber, Logan turns to fully face the knight. Bowing, he says, ”I would be most honored, Sir Isteval. Thank you again. I shall return to present myself to the council in a month’s time.”
”In the meantime, I may have the opportunity to help investigate a mystery about the ancient cataclysm involving the dragons and the elves. Is there anything else I should do to prepare myself over the next month?” he adds.

Karvian & Dr. A.
Karvian does not see Gorm but does hear some kind of commotion in the alley next to shop in front of them. Some grunting and swears. Someone is fighting there, trying to keep it quiet.
I am going to assume that you go there.
Roll initiative and jump to Gorm's part of the post!
Logan:
"You have passed many tests today young Logan " says Sir Istevar " You must be proud of what you've achieved. Pursue this investigation you talk about, and be ready for our call. Be sure to leave where we can contact you to my aidee Maese Longbeard. He will accompany you to the exit once you want to leave. I must leave now. There are some other matters that require my presence.It's been a pleasure. " he offers his forearm to Logan.
Once he turns towards the general's servant Logan recognize him almost immediately. He is the baker that was pursuing the boy. He winks an eye and says.
"Just let me know when you are ready to leave "
Looking around, Logan recognizes the boy who had stolen the bread carrying a saddle towards the stables.
Gorm
The first man, recovering, produces a similar dagger and both try to to stab her. They doesn't seem to show any kind of restrain as she does.
Both of them tries to flank her but just in that moment she can see both Karvian and Dr. A. entering the alley.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Rounding the corner and seeing the two men flanking Gorm, Karvian coughs loudly as he strolls towards the group. "Now this looks like a party I'd like to be invited to," he says casually, his smile growing almost comically. "A shame I don't have time to change before it starts."
Dr A's initiative = 4"ahbut what do you want to change into my friend, a toad perhaps. On the other hand would it not be better to change these pestiferous people attempting to perforate our good friend into toads?"
Breaking into a broad smile at the other facilitators of his testing, Logan says, “I see what you mean, Sir Isteval. Thank you, I will take my leave as well.” Logan returns the warrior’s grip and smiles sheepishly as he approaches Master Longbeard.
”You and the boy had me well-fooled, Master Longbeard,” says Logan. “I am ready to leave at your convenience—my aide, Talgred, and I are staying at the Sailber’s Ship while we are in town.”

Talgred follows Logan in silence but his footsteps seems a little bit lighter that they were when they entered the Citadel. He was quite proud of Logan.
Rest of the party:
As Karvian and Dr. A. enter the alley one of the man turn against them, curved dagger at the ready, and try to stab them both.
Meanwhile the one who has been pushed to the wall by Grom does the same with her.
Smiling and chatting with Talgred, Logan heads towards the University where his new friends were headed earlier this morning. He is hoping they may have found more details about the mysterious letter.
