[QUOTE="Eosin the Red, post: 1800148, member: 168"] I have been keeping up with the Storyhour - just not on ENworld. I will attempt to remedy that. Part 3 Still muddy from the spring rains, the roads into Draysen took the party through the lands of Lord Bailstone. The lord is known as the Troll of the Gravewoods for his fierce demeanor and unrelenting battle style. His infamy through the lands of the east had everyone on edge. Noble titles and famed performances would not afford one leniency in under the harsh laws of the Gravewoods. The party felt more at ease when they reached the rustic town of Woodbridge. The most southern crossing of the Bray River by foot or horse, the small town held strategic and economical power disproportionate to its size. The feeling of relief was short lived. In the central square of town was a pillory surrounded by small folk chanting for the death of some unlucky soul. Arron pushed his way through the crowds to see what was transpiring while the rest of the group headed for the Weary Traveler, an inn famed in the region for its fine fare and comfortable accommodations. Chained and miserable in the center square was a Mendicant priest and Bishop of Draysen, the father Haerflyn. He face was battered from thrown rocks and his fine clothes stained with spoiled fruit. Arron stood in front of the Bishop in a rash moment and declared the priest to be under his protection, at first the crowd seemed ready to surge forward and teach the warrior the folly of his confidence but before they could do so, the pale form of the Justicar made his way forward. Faced with two warriors, one the intimidating albino in service of the Mighty Host the crowd quailed. Meanwhile, in the inn Torean had spoken with the barkeep and discovered that the Bishop had admitted to helping hide a runaway Vindel savage. The mayor of Woodbridge had taken the priest into custody to save him from the refugees of the Vindel slaughters but when the mob began to threaten the mayor’s home with fire, he brought the Bishop forward with a sentence of the rack for five days and nights. After long and heated discussions on the best manner in which to proceed, it was eventually decided to speak with the Bishop and if necessary guard him for the next several days. Arron had been speaking with the pilloried priest while the party cavorted in the inn and eventually relayed the whole story to his companions. A young Vindel man and his companions had been set upon by raiders east of Woodbridge. Wounded and bleeding, the leader of the group had sought shelter within the temple of the Great Fellowship. The Bishop was leery of the huge savage but saw in his heart that the brute cleaved to the tenants of the faith and was a good man. Unfortunately for everyone involved, the Vindel warrior had been tracked to the temple. The region has suffered greatly under the recent raids of extraordinarily brutal Vindel raiders and the locals along with refugees from the Vindel raids were in a mood for a lynching. Fearing for the life of the young man who had entrusted himself to the care of the temple, Bishop Haerflyn helped him escape. But, the mob had the taste of blood in their mouths and they would not be satisfied with the bishop’s perceived betrayal. Fortunately for the bishop the mayor arrived and took him into custody. Fearing for the safety of the town, the Bishop pleaded with the mayor to sentence him to the pillory - with the blessing of the Great Fellowship (The mayor rightly feared retribution for sentencing one so far above his own station.). The party decided that the good bishop could not be left to the mercy of the angered refugees and decided to protect him though his sentence. With guard duty decided, the party settled in for a long delay. The night passed uneventfully, but the early morning duty fell to Fyre and the storm mage did not return to wake his relief. Fearing the worse, the party braved the rain to find Fyre near death with an arrow in his chest and the Bishop’s body already cold. Fyre was taken to a local healer, while she was not trained in the ways of the Order of Apathos, she was able to stabilize him. [/QUOTE]
