    Leo cringes his nose in disagreement. "The forest is vast. Even my little time here has revealed to me many places of magic - and faerie - within it, some days from here. Doubtless there are more, further west. Visiting all the places will take months, surely - and I'm not sure all places will...

    Leo makes a sound that a lion would make if a lion could sigh. "I bring you to a magic wood, where we walk through hours through a mundane wood, and end up in a faerie aura - and you say this magic wood is unwounded? Ah!" "As for the manticore - yes, I can... sense its influence. It is...

    Leo snarls at Ilshana, and for a moment a primitive, raw, anger flashes over his face. "This is not a faerie wood! It is a magic wood." He turns his gaze to the others, looking over them with great sadness. "Can't you feel the roots, as ancient as the mountains, stretching back to the dawn of...

    Leo growls in discontent. "See? Already trickery and phantasm spreads here, like a shadow covering the land. I'll bet a pawn of vis these trees aren't what they appear to be, either." Turning his gaze to Ilshana, he half-heartenly says "What is it, precisely, that you suggest we do?" OOC: Would...

    "It seems we are at an impasse. Two for the castle, two nay. Perhaps, if I will show you the wounds in the forest, you will be convinced to protect it, instead of loitering about it like scavengers?" He looks particularly at Thomas as he says this. "I, too, am loathe to serve this baron - but we...

    "Hmm" is Leo's articulate reply. "Perhaps they have awakened some spirit's vengence." He looks to the forest longingly. "There is still magic in the forest, more than I would have thought possible in these circumstances. There is a lake, and the woods... yet also a dark monster, and faeries...

    As soon as Leo meets up with Ilshana and the others, he reports his findings. "I think we can be fairly certain this castle stands on the ruins of old Rudiaria. There is a weak Magical aura around it, probably a remnant of the old place. I didn't stray into the castle to examine it further, but...

    Leo is not at all pleased with the situation. "It is sad" he says, "seeing a place of magic overtaken by the mundanes in this way. Whatever destroyed Rudiaria was not this place's undoing." He points to the town and church - "if it weren't for the infestation of mundanes, this would still be a...

    OOC: Do we want to split the party? Leo would probably prefer to go with Thomas and scout beyond the castle - I'm guessing some forest is to be found there. But it is perhaps preferable to have all of us stay together, for ease of play. Leo could certainly agree to stay in the town and scout the...

    Leo looks somewhat uncomfortable at Gorgamesh's outbreak, but doesn't address him directly. "Gorgamesh is right to abhor the Church, but Ilshana is wise to keep its enemies close. There is obviously much to worry about from Trier. Be careful there, Ilshana." Looking at his map, he motions - "Is...

    Spring 1220 Leo thanks Yeonis, but says that a travel to Fengheld would be too time-consuming at this point. Perhaps later, but for the time being he'd be glad to settle for a letter. He soon writes one, and sends it through Yeonis. After brief consideration, he settles on the note of flattery...

    Spring 1220 Leo asks the Mercer House to arrange a meeting with Horst, if possible within this season (Spring 1220). He also makes his way to Fenghled House, if there is a Fengheld representative there, in hopes of communicating with the Colonge Chapter House and, perhaps, with Horst. Rather...

    Ars Magica 5e, Rhine Tribunal, 1220

    Leo finds himself in the awkward position of having to wave through numerous books for months. He takes as much leave as he can - first in the forest nearby, but he soon comes to distate its tenor [i.e. its Faerie aura], and instead contends himself to walk back and forth in the covenant's...

    I suppose we're looking for maps, travel journales, and other Area Lore of the area, plus any information we can find about the location and nature of the old covenants and magical resources in the region. Leo is particularly interested in natural and even more so Magical forests.

    Leo thanks the quaesitor, and if he sees that there are no more questions starts to head towards the library. "Let us humour Gorgamesh, and sit in the library. We could discuss our options over the relevant maps - should we be able to locate them." OOC: Leo is done for this scene. Do we want to...

    "One more question" says Leo. "Maps and books and so on are nice and all, but a wise guide is irreplaceable. I was wondering if there was any person you could recommend that actually knows this 'rhine gorge'? Perhaps a redcap, or a former member of one of the destroyed covenants?"

    At the Standing Stones... Leo suppresses an inner sigh. Setting up a covenant? With this lot? Well, there goes my future plans... And still no idea why us, or how she even knew of me... Determined to obey Murion's instructions, he focuses on the more pressing questions. He nods at Ilshana's...

    "Perhaps", Leo concedes to Ilshana's suggestion, "but why us, and not others? I feel there is more than that here". His mind is already whirling with possibilities, but none appear sensible. He keeps with the conversation, although his mind is already half elsewhere, contemplating Thomas'...

    Leo can't help thinking about the contrast between the visage of his companions, but tries to push such thoughts from his mind. "I take it", he says, "that none knows why Murion summoned us?" He smiles, a warm and friendly smile. "I must confess, I am curious. Perhaps, if we could determine what...
