Orpi's lakeside house

Orpi's lakeside house is an old house belonging to the family of Orpi, civil head consul of Avlor Aten, in the campaign Yeni Dünya ("New World"). Helping a band of strangers escape from the city, Orpi told them that outside the walls there were farmland and military posts but no villages, and offered to meet them at the house by the lake to the south-west.¹²

Description

The house is a small, single-storey building of logs on the lakeshore, with no attic and its inner beams in view, with an outbuilding, a jetty and an old boat. Inside are hunting trophies, a table with five chairs, a fireplace, a kitchen and a room with two beds. The band found dried meat and grapes, cured meat and wine in the cellar, and a well-tended garden of pumpkins and flowers.³⁴⁵

The meeting

The band went on to the house after crossing the wall, unlocked it, prepared food and drink, and one of them began to map from memory the city and land they had seen. About an hour later Orpi arrived with a key, his ostrich-like mount left outside, and they spoke through the evening.⁶⁷⁸

As beds were being settled for the night, Orpi said that another of his forms, in his office in the city, had been attacked, and running footsteps approached the house. Finli dragged a piano across the door, and the attacker outside could not force his way in past it; Orpi took cover under the table and then in the kitchen after he was wounded. The last attacker was taken alive; Orpi left a note in his pocket before the band left him behind and crossed the lake on two rafts, sinking the plain one on the far shore and folding up the magical one.^{9101112131415}
