Penthar Danadin, Aglarondan Griffonrider
OOC: Wow! A lot has happened in my absence! Cool!
Penthar receives the wooden box with the utmost respect, examining the box's ornate construction as he receives his orders. He opens the box and slides the gold ring on his wrist. Shaking his commander's hand, he replies "I will endeavor to continue to make you, and Aglarond, proud."
Dismissed, he returns to his travelling companions, and fills them in. He makes no secret about the ring gate, but will politely decline if one of the members asks to inspect it in detail. (i.e. he will not remove the ring).
While making arrangements for travel the next day, Penthar thanks the Realms that his old friend, Benes Athramar, now works for the great Ebenezer Falcon. After promising to repay the debt, Penthar secures the party passage on the Majesty. He is sure to secure extra food for himself and Regalclaw before the ship departs shore.
Once onboard, Penthar is pleased with his accomodations, and equally pleased that his mount has found a niche to nestle into topside. He chuckles in amusement at the captain's comments on Regalclaw's nourishment, but respectfully replies that the griffon can make due.
The days pass without incident, as Penthar tries to spend some time learning about the party. On the third day, unfortunately, Penthar was checking up on Regalclaw at aft as did not hear the call for all hands. He did, however, hear the explosion off-boat. Popping his head up, the makes out the grumbling of his dwarven comrade. Rushing fore, he is just in time to see Hareka land to the adoration of the crew.
Well, Penthar thinks to himself, looks like we've no fear of pirates during this journey! He congratulates Hareka on his quick smiting of their foes, and offers to share an aerial watch with the half-dragon if the need arises.
