Pathfinder 1E Leif's Questing Knights, Veluna, Greyhawk - L10 Pfdr Rpg [IC 01] [Full]

Johann is listening with rapt attention.

Hraln frowns. The netherworlds are somewhat beyond his usual concerns and expertise, though he has dealt with fiends from time to time. But there may be no reasonable alternative to pursuing the task the priests are putting before them.

Eldran Hawkshand

Eldran nods, as if he had expected to hear of such a calamity. "That is dire news indeed, holy father. Please tell us how we may be of help in stopping this."

Yurei glances at Hraln since the priest's words seem to mirror their own conversation. He says nothing, but catches Eldran's eye and gives a nod of encouragement. Finally, his gaze lingers briefly on the blue skinned fellow with the troublesome tail and then down at his own hands. Do they think to fight fire with fire?

The demon-spawn's gaze shifts to the priests as they enter the room and sit; he goes in an instant from absent to fully focused. Strangely, he still appears to be counting under his breath in that same measured pace.

In Veluna City

"Thank you, my son, for offering to assist. Any of your number who are likewise inclined can journey toward the city of Mitrik to the northwest. The most troublesome place at this time is to be found alog the banks of the Fals River high in the Lorridges. We have prayed long about this and we have been given one thing to tell you: Look for the House without a Door and the Wall with neither Floor nor Roof. We don't know what it means, either."

"In my many years fighting against the seemingly countless hordes of Iuz, I have fought and claimed victory over many of these beasts that traverse the veil." Dior pauses for just a moment as he calls Subotai. As the large wolf quickly moves to his side he returns his attention back to the High Priest. "Until this threat is eliminated or death embraces us, you have our service." He finishes with a slight bow.

"And from your vision it sounds to be the ruin of someones home. We shall find it."

"Oh, that sounds like a nice little walk," says Hraln, letting out a very small sigh of relief. At least he will not have to sit around in this city. Staying in one place for too long always chaffed hm. However, the inquisitor is a little concerned at how eager this ranger, Dior, seems to be to pledge his own and everyone else' life to the cause. Hraln has always preferred to take things one step at a time.

The Priest

"First of all, my Son," he says to Dior, "we have already examined many interpretations of the riddle similar to the one you speak of, and our auguries tell us that there is some layer of meaning beneath the surface that we have missed, so take heed to that warning. Second, he says turning from Dior Targarin to Yurei Cadivere, I expect that there will be numerous threats for you to face that come from behind the four winds and under the seas, as well as more mudane threats of an earthly nature. We have just been receving reports of attacks on some outlying villages by giants and their servants. Rewards? I assume that you mean besides the thanks of the grateful people that you save and the favor of the church? While I find such discussions to be a little distasteful, I am sure that there are rewards of a material nature offered by the Lords of the land in question, and reports are that the giants have despoiled the people to a great extent. I am sure that you will be allowed to keep all that you can wrest from them by right of conquest."
