Re: Chapter 1: Scene 5: Knowledge is power
When Piper mentioned Quentin, he was in fact observing the scene that he has sort of caused. From some distance, but still...
The noise from the Library was worrying, but thinking of it rationally, Quantin cannto help but notice that...
1. The body count of people in there should not change much by his absence or presence.
2. Whatever happened, people there are dead, fine, or in a position to shout for help.
3. Quentin, for the life of him, cannot just let the guards have the creature.
So, he picks up the book and the bottle and hurries to where the burned creature fell. He is beyond impressed to see the creature not dead yet.
"Yeah, irons, sure do. It faked being dead one time already." Then thinking of it, Quentin says. "I don't think we are pressed for time. Say what, we load the thing on my horse and get it straight to the king's lead surgeon, get the king's lead torturer and maybe some other men and start looking for answers." Then Quentin remembers he better explain how he fits in. "I'm Quentin Fox, a medic doing some research into things related to this plague, and I can well participate in the autopsy and in the torture... err, likely the other way around, and can also provide some background on the events, there is quite a number of facts that are worth mentioning."
