[QUOTE="orsal, post: 3945702, member: 16016"] Nurlan listens intently to Rinaldo's partial explanation, then after a pause speaks up. [color=plum]"That was Rayne Liore? I have heard tales of such a remarkable person. I thought it strange that a half-elf should be carrying insignia from the Academy of the Chromatic Order, for all accounts of that august school describe it as a place run by and mostly for pureblooded humans. I think it an honour to have been invited by someone of such repute to what must be an important council. "Friends -- by that word I mean all of you hear, those I have long known, those I have just met, and those to whom I have not yet been introduced, for I expect that our coming journey will make friends of all of us -- listen to what I have to say. I came to this party and just minutes ago entertained you all as Nurlan the minstrel, but I shall depart as Sir Nurlan, knight of Monemvassia. It is a role I had hoped I had put behind me, devoting my life as I have always intended to singing of heroism rather than performing it. But the true hero is a hero by choice only insofar as he chooses to respond to circumstances; he is not one who chooses to be called to heroism. We all have, without our choice, been called; each of us must decide whether to answer the call. "I do not understand what this appeal was about, but I do know this. Rayne Liore is not one to sound such an alarm frivolously. If you travel to the six corners of the world you will never hear of a more prestigious body of arcane learning as the Academy of the Chromatic Order. The half-elf we just heard from has been recognized by the Academy as one of its leading lights, head of one of its houses -- I think the only half-elf to have earned such an honour. I think if she tells of a world-shaping crisis on the horizon, she knows what she speaks of. My horse is waiting down the street. I shall leave for Medibaria in the morning, ready to learn more of this great danger and what we all can do about it. I urge everyone hear to join us.

Unfortunately, he only has 232+change GP with him (most of his cash is stashed at the amphitheatre in Monemvassia) but he'll contribute what he can. [/QUOTE]
