[QUOTE="BSF, post: 1932791, member: 13098"] Sheila's eyebrow rises when Li calls her Lady. But she listens as Li speaks. "You have my condolences Lord Gao. It is always difficult to lose a boon companion. I am sure he fought well. Your success at bringing these people here reflects well on his heroism." Sheila greets Kind with a strong handshake. "You look to be a follower of druidic beliefs. We emphasize the harmony between the people and the land in this country. If you see the benefit in that, you will be welcome indeed. Contrary to Lord Gao's generous greeting, it is inappropriate to address me as Lady. Please, call me Sheila." Sheila sighs and strips off her gloves. Running a hand through her hair she looks at Li once again. "You asked what has happened since you left. To tell the truth, the time seems longer than it has been. The news from the north is not encouraging and I think the people you brought with you will be welcome indeed come spring. Too many of our people will not return I fear. This seems to be a major offensive. Perhaps larger than anything seen since Lord Greerson himself fought them over a millenia ago. The Thurgon and Durgon are fighting well, and our people are helping greatly. I have even heard that your former companion Keldorn is doing well. But there is something missing to weigh the battles in our favor. There are rumors that the giants have something powerful aiding them. I would almost seek to relinquish my commission here and join them. Except things here in Greerson are not as they should be either." Sheila examines Tormal and Ayla for a moment. "Since you left, the attacks by the apparent wolves slowed. But they return with some full moons. Not with each full moon, just enough to keep people tense. As well, I have lost three of my Forest Runners since you left. I presume they are lost since they never came back from patrol and we could find signs of struggle. I cannot leave because my duty is to protect Greerson and if I abandoned that duty to fight the giants, then others might as well. It seems there are many ways that the world is darkening and it weighs on my heart." "You say that Oceas and Tyrm are in Delve and that they are seeking to rally support to assault the gnolls? I must assume that you and your companions will soon be off then. It seems there are many wrongs that must be set right. Good luck to you all." Sheila shakes her head slowly. "I should be off. I have a patrol to continue. I am sure Lord Tannerson will be able to catch you up on anything I have missed. I had heard that you were returning and I wanted to see for myself. I am glad I did. That all of you have helped this handful of people warms my heart somewhat. If you are still in town when I return from patrol, perhaps we will have more time to speak." Sheila pulls on her gloves, nods to the Seekers and begins to walk into the forest. [/QUOTE]
