Dawnforge - The True Kings

[unleashed]

Haedyn, Male Lowlander Spirit Adept

“Educated...yes, I like that!” Haedyn declares with a grin, forming his large hands into fists as he flexes his muscles, “May I recover Riva from the dirt yet?”

 

[Starman]

Galen shakes his head at Haedyn's question. "Not yet. I would normally jump at a chance to move against the fire giants, but we have another task at hand. Can we afford to delay seeing Darvekis back to Deluin?"

 

[Widowmaker]

Sir Aravir looks around speaking last. "After listening to everyone. I think Galen is correct. We have another mission. While I feel the Fire Giants are a threat. We should tell the Highlanders. This is there territory, they will know how to handle it best. If they ask for help then we can help."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Remember that we won two victories where we only hoped for one. The Dominion army is still reeling from our successful attack, and we have more time now. This threat is dire, and the giants are a threat to us as well, as they could ambush us if we don't help these people...giants are murder in close quarters if they get the drop on us, but with two Wizards, we should be able to slaughter them almost effortlessly if we attack from the edge of our Wizards' long-range spells," Raynard suggests.

"And staving off the fire giants is the right thing to do...Fire...the hungry flame that consumes the body and soul of those who thirst, addicted to the power...the holocaust of pyroclastic energy...Never again will it consume an innocent, not while I stand able to end the threat."

(OOC: Note--Ssiran's background includes a traumatic incident with a pyrokineticist who was sent to kill him and killed someone else instead while he ran away You can perhaps see the parallel, and he has vowed not to let it happen again)

 

[Widowmaker]

"Raynard I understand they are evil and a threat. But we have to look at the big picture. What do we have to gain and what do we have to lose? We are to escort Darvekis to the coast. If he is killed or seriously injured we have failed in our mission. Believe me I agree and want to destroy them but I feel our mission is Darvekis." Sir Aravir will state to Raynard and the group trying to convince them.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Let's make opposed Diplomacy checks? I rolled a 2 (total 24))

"Is not the knight sworn to protect those who are in need, those who cannot defend themselves? If anything, the fire giants are a bigger threat than the Valhedar right now by virtue of the fact that they are within our allied territory and slaughtering innocents. If you want to turn a callous eye to that suffering, I cannot support it," Raynard's words are incredibly convincing, as usual, though not as powerful as some of his other exhortations. (stupid 2 )

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

In checking the roots of the tree, Solara has to chip away several layers of mud to see clearly, but it's obvious they were burned away. Darvekis listens to Raynard and Sir Aravir argue for a minute before putting in his own words. "I never expected this mission to be fast, truth be told. My m- er Mirlona doesn't know we're coming, and I don't know many powerful divinations. Besides..." and here he looks uncomfortable, "there were rumors that the Dominion was going to try to seek out allies to the north of the Emerlyn peninsula. This could be stirrings in that direction... or just a foray with no attachment to Valhedar. Also, this might not even be fire giants. It might be a disciple of one of the fiery immortal, a band of elementals, or something else. With respect, Dalart, we don't want to retaliate against something that didn't happen."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Oh...I see. Based on the way he said it, it sounded like he was remembering the information and stating it as a fact, but if it is merely a conjecture, then we need to check even more urgently, as to fell so mighty a tree, it could even be something worse."

(OOC: Sense Motive or whatever is appropriate, did Darvekis seem to be making the "uh" sound after m, as in 'mother' when he cut off?)

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Dalart seems a bit flustered when Darvekis mentions the possibility that it might not be fire giants. "Well see here now young man, just what do you think is running around under these mountains? Fire giants are far more likely than rogue elementals or whatever else you were blathering about," Darlart says defensively. You all realize that both do have a point. Anyone who's spent any time around dwarves has probably heard several harrowing tales of fire giant attacks from under their stone homes, but Darvekis is a learned wizard with some unfortunate experience with other nasty critters.

Ssiran:

Spoiler

Why yes, it did sound like he was going to say muh-something, now that you think about it.

Haedyn, Male Lowlander Spirit Adept

“So much for secrecy,” Haedyn mutters, looking at Dalart, as names and allegiances are bandied about thoughtlessly.
