CLOSED! Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Game (ToEE)

Burne nods and smiles as Coraine finishes copying the poem, and offers the paladin a water-proof scroll tube of bone to place the document in. "So, what is next my friends? Can I be of some further assistance?

“We have hope, that one of our companions, who was lost during our exploration of the moathouse, is still alive. We were looking for him, but with the recent turn of events, we had to come back here first. A number of bandits is also likely to still occupy the ruins, even though their leader is here now. Of course, we need some rest as well, so we will probably not go back until tomorrow morning. If you have any means to help us on this search, that would be most appreciated.”
 

Marco sits back and twiddles his thumbs while the others discuss their missing comrade and their plans. Whatever companion of their's went missing was gone before they found him. Who knows what could happen to a single man down there. His experience certainly wasn't a fun one.

He pauses for a moment, considering the future, and his new path with the people around him.
 


"I know of one person in Nulb who might be of some help..." Burne says, a thoughful look on his face. "He used to be loyal to the Crown, but no one has spoken to him for years, as far as I know. I'll dispatch a discrete messenger straight away."
 


As the group files out of the tower, Kine lags behind slightly. Before the others get to far, he clears his throat akwardly and waits for them to give him their attention. He is look rather anxious, and rather more lucid than usual.

"My companions, friends. I am afraid I have lost my way again. When I was young, I did not know my path, but I sought it with passion. When I discovered it, I grew overconfident. Sure of my destiny, I rushed headlong into a world that I was not ready for. Recently, with you, I have learned the errors of my ways. Down in the darkness, with the death and loss, I found a part of myself that I was not ready to face. Fear has driven me from my path, fear which I should be able to master, but instead it weakened me. I need to return to my homelands, and train until I can find my way again. I am sorry to leave you in such a manner, while there is work to be done, but I am afraid it is neccessary. I hope you will forgive me, and I hope I will see you again in the future."

“Kine. Go, where your destiny leads you to. If you know, that this is not your path, then you are right not to tread here. Nothing wrong with that. I'm sure this decision didn't come easy, and you do what you must. Take care and don't get lost on the way. Farewell!”

The warlock looks somewhat surprised by Kine's planned departure. "You stood with us admirably. I hope you'll will come to realize that you have been as brave as any of us when it counted. I wish you well."
 

Coraine listens to Kine's words, a little puzzled but not, perhaps, surprised that the bard does not wish to venture underground again.

"Kine, go well! Such self-knowledge presents itself to all of us in battle and we each of us respond to it differently. Some break and run while their friends are still in need. Others stay and pretend that the fear does not exist - only to betray their comrades at a crucial time. Thank you for standing by us until such time as we could all regroup in safety!"
