A guard in a green uniform escorted Barbecue through the heavy gates to a compound, and across a gravel courtyard to the main building. The walls surrounding the compound and the main building itself were crenellated, and he see several archers pacing back and forth. The main building's walls were of undressed stone, with narrow mullioned windows. In a corner of the compound, opposite a kennel and a stable, lay the bull's carcass, concealed under a blood-stained tarp.
Entering the main building through thick, metal-banded doors, the guard motioned to a weapons rack in a small guardroom, where Barbecue laid his axe and a dagger. He gazed around another courtyard, this one a riot of coloured flowers and herbs wrapping around a small pool. The building wrapped around the courtyard, and Barbecue took one more glance over his shoulder before entering an ante room, with cool tiles under foot and tapestries adorning the walls. They passed into a room with sofas, padded chairs and padded stools, where Barbecue recognized the cleric from earlier in the day, bent over a table with several chess boards set up in various stages of play. They nodded a greeting to each other, when Lady Jaye entered.
"I'm delighted you are here," she said, casting a quick look to the guard. The guard shook his head, and Lady Jaye sighed. "Ah well. I thought perhaps we might be joined by another," said Lady Jaye. "But no matter," she added with a shrug. "Barbecue and Doc, please follow me to the dining room. We shall get to know each other over dinner."
She led them down a hallway and into a room with a long table surrounded by high-backed chairs. She stopped suddenly in the doorway, noting the red-haired woman sitting at the head of the table, leaning back in the chair, her feet crossed and propped on the table itself, her fingers steepled in front of her. The woman reached down and produced a crossbow, which she held out casually.
"I assume you are requesting that weapons be left at the front door."
"Yes," said Lady Jaye with a smiled, and waved to her attendant, who rushed forward to take the crossbow. "And I suppose I did say to meet me at my dining table. Though calling at the front door would have been simpler."
"But less interesting," said the red-haired woman. "Your traps around this compound are some of the more imaginative that I've encountered. Call me Scarlett."
