[Rhun]

OOC: JA, what is the typical burial style for a situation like this? Cairn, a pyre?

 

[J. Alexander]

OCC: Typically the church likes tombs....

 

[Scotley]

Bertrand

Clearly moved by Finnian's song. Bertrand bows his head in silence for a moment before looking about for materials for a pyre or cairn.

OOC: Smartass!

What about in a battlefield situation like this, far from civilization? I assume a cairn would be the preferred method?

 

[J. Alexander]

lol a cairn will be fine

 

[Scotley]

OOC:

Going to a nearby rise where the first light of dawn will fall each day, Bertrand marks out a rectangle with his heel. He then pulls a shovel from his pack and starts to dig a shallow grave over which the cairn can be laid. "I'll have this ready soon, start gathering stones for a Cairn."

 

[J. Alexander]

OCC: it is almost nightitme ?

Addison Darkhair

Vadric looks up from where he kneels next to Bertrand, untying the ranger's bonds. He nods a greeting at Addison. "Knight and priest of the Light, actually, of the order of Saint Hieroneous. Military attache to Patriarch Grappien of East March." The knight smiles wistfully. "Though it seems I may well be destined to never make it back to my beloved homeland."

Addison's hand moves to the lightning bolt hanging around her neck as Vadric mentions Saint Hieroneous. "It will be good to travel with a priest of Saint Hieroneous, Sir Knight." Addison is otherwise quiet during the introductions, watching the burial activity.

Vorian continues to play a host to the lady while his companions busy themselves with various tasks around Anniston's burial rites.
"So tell me, how did you arrive this far north?"

"The Church sent me north with a small escort. There are few Sacred Exorcists assigned north of the Valley. I am to provide assistance as needed by the faithful."

Jaroth

Addison's hand moves to the lightning bolt hanging around her neck as Vadric mentions Saint Hieroneous. "It will be good to travel with a priest of Saint Hieroneous, Sir Knight." Addison is otherwise quiet during the introductions, watching the burial activity.





"The Church sent me north with a small escort. There are few Sacred Exorcists assigned north of the Valley. I am to provide assistance as needed by the faithful."

Listening to Finnian's song, Jaroth bows his head, clearly moved. When it is over, he composes himself and finds himself near Addison. His head perks up.

"Sacred Exorcist you say?"

 

[Rhun]

Vadric begins gathering stones for the cairn, hoping to have everything ready for his friend's burial, and beat the fall of night.
