Message: <blockquote data-quote="SecondTime" data-source="post: 2970324" data-attributes="member: 42381">Kuven acknowledges every name with a curt nod, even to the ostentatious Eldrago, a gesture that is more than appropriate if one has the proper respect for social rank that is as much an inherited trait of the Dragonmarked as their namesakes, perhaps even moreso. But the young Deneith doesn't even spare a nod for the unruly dwarf, instead directing his cool, steely towards Massiff..."Ah, Massiff Dardungren!!! Forgive me. How could I possibly have forgotten to pay immediate respect to one of the Defenders' noble meatshields, especially when said meatshield conducts themselves with the discipline and humility that make the Holds, " Kuven rounds his desk, his eyes closing with the dwarve's as he bends over so no more than an inch seperates them, "You will learn, Dardungren, that the Sentinel Marshals, unlike the Defenders, require their mercenaries be equiped with a brain as well as a blade. Or a still tongue at the very least."With that dressing down, Deneith walks back to his desk, speaking in a more casual tone, "I will keep this short. Bandits attacked a caravan along the trade road southwest of the mountains. Many were killed, but person of great importance was taken. Two days ago, a goblin free miner spotted an armed group brandishing weapons similar to those described by the survivors in an abandoned mine a mile upland from Cragwar.""The hostage in question is of not a subject of the Brelish king and, given our proximity to the border, is thus under the protection of the Sentinel Marshals. My outpost is the closest, but most of my men are in the field and couldn't be reassinged in a reasonable amount of time. My kin in the Defenders Guild sent me..limited help, " his eyes brush past the dwarf, "...so I have recruited the best of what I could find, " he lets out an audible sigh and tosses a rolled parchment at your feet, "That is a rough map of the area where the bandits are holed up, as described by the goblin. You are to go there with all due haste, retrieve the hostage and take prisoner any bandits you can. Failing that, you are to exact justice by whatever means necessary. Your reward will be commensurate with your success, in both gold and the friendship of my House."He looks from face to face, "Any questions?"OOC: Apologize for the delay. Took a long weekend.</blockquote>
