<div class="floatright">(http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e220/besrikarie/dnd/monastary.jpg)</div>The Virtuous Maiden could hover very well, and using almost none of Zephyr's attention in fact.  Not that they would have to do so for very long, just long enough for Doxi and Marek to disembark.  Doxi went and gathered her traveling gear, a girl couldn't be too safe, and met Marek on deck.  He had decided to eschew bringing along his quarterstaff, one of only very few items that he owned, simply wearing his magical leather bracers, the ring that Doxi knew granted him armor, his silk trousers, and silk sash about his waist.  Oh, and of course the collar Doxi had put around his neck, but that didn't really 'belong' to him at all did it?<br/><br/>Cassie was there and held out a scrap of paper to the captain, "I tried to sketch out the layout of the Dragon's Roost as best as I could from memory captain," she said as she handed over the paper to Doxi.<br/><br/>"The monastery," she continued, "is on the south face of a mountain and the observatory is only a few dozen feet from a sharp cliff face.  There's gardens around the monastery, and a large training ground.  I told Stoella all of this, including that the Virtuous Maiden would probably have enough room to land on the training ground, but doing that would be extremely rude and offensive.  I suggested very highly that you avoid doing that unless it was the most dire of emergencies."<br/><br/>She pointed at the map, "here at the northernmost point is the entrance.  We store most of our weapons here in shelves and racks, both training and real.  They may ask you to surrender your weapon when you enter the temple proper, if so you'd be expected to leave it here.  They might not ask, but it would be polite if you did."   Her finger moved down to an octagonal room south of the entrance.  "This large room is our main relaxation lounge, couches, tables, etc."  Her finger pointed at the two oddly shaped rooms north east and west of the lounge, "Bathroom with showers, baths and privies and this other room is used for storage primarily.<br/><br/>Her finger moved south to a coffin shaped room,  "This is a work room, which has been used for many things in my time there.  There were artificers working there, smiths repairing armor and weapons, mages researching spells, and scholars combing over ancient texts in this room.  It's sort of a coverall work space."  Her finger moved east to a large staircase, "This leads down to the basements, I didn't have a lot of call to go down there, but there's cold storage for food stuffs, as well as a 'play room' like the one you showed us back in Blackpeak."<br/><br/>Her finger moved to the large circular room, "This used to be a stellar observatory once, but now is our main temple.  There are walls around the outside where people can 'pray' a little more privately if so inclined."<br/><br/>She then tapped the large chamber to the north east, "This is another room that functions for multiple purposes, it's used for training if the weather is not good outside, but it's also got our kitchen along the east wall, and tables that fold up and lean against the walls, so this is where all of our meals were taken.<br/><br/>Then finally circciling the cluster of rooms to the north west she said, "These are the barracks.  Most of the rooms are around ten by thirty feet and have bunks that can hold four faithful per room.  But some of the rooms may be converted for guests.  The western most room is Master Kad's office, and his personal quarters here, to the north of that office.  He's in charge of the monestary along with the high priestess who's quarters are to the south."<br/><br/>If the high priestess was anything like her mother, she'd likely have an office as well.  Though the monestary was smaller, maybe her personal quarters served double function?  It was certainly big enough.<br/><br/>Doxi rolled up the map and looked as the Virtuous Maiden slowed as it approached the temple.  Even in the fading dusk light, it looked somewhat... holy.  Torches were lit around it's outside and the building seemed to almost glow with primal energy.  This was obviously holy ground to Shoni.<br/><div class="floatleft">(http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e220/besrikarie/dnd/observatoryexterior.jpg)<br/></div>Stoella brought the ship into a hover above the training grounds, and below several men and women looked up with great interest at the ship hovering overhead.  Cassie leaning over the edge pointed at a person  and said to the captain, "There, that redheaded woman down there, unless I miss my guess that's High priestess Rita d'Cannith, a member of the dragonmarked house Cannith, though she doesn't bear a dragonmark herself.  She's the high priestess of the temple.  She's probably who sent your mother the message."<br/><br/>Marek turned and asked the captain, "Shall we go then captain?"
