[QUOTE="Helfdan, post: 3535000, member: 11732"] Very well... The young man stood at attention before a short, burly grey-beard clad in worn leathers and holding a stout bow over his shoulder. He was Artain, commander of rangers in the Duchy of Gwynloc'h. Valen had arrived there only two days ago, bearing a dispatch from the capital. Somehow, he knew he would soon be leaving. "Herruwen, the leading druid in the duchy, has been murdered, and his apprentice, one Johen, has disappeared. All we found was a black corpse, obviously slain by the druid. He seems to be Azgundian... we know little else. We did find sign that the apprentice, Johen, fled the scene. We know not if he was involved, afraid, or chasing the culprits. The scene has been protected so that you can read the sign. We want you to find him and determine his role in this. If he is guilty, bring him back." "How can I identify him?" "He is tall and slim, with braided reddish hair and beard. He keeps a trained falcon." Valen nodded, and hitched his swordbelt. The tall young man crouched over the dead druid and his assassin. He quickly spotted the footprints of his quarry. Indeed, it was one man, traveling light. Valen himself had all he owned on his person. Checking on the angle of his scabbard, he shouldered his bow and set off south-east. He hoped this initiate was innocent, but he knew his duty in any case. A few weeks later, the young ranger walked the cobbled road leading to the Azgundi capital. He knew this Johen was somewhwere within. Now it was only a matter of finding his countryman, and the truth... ******************************************* What do you think? [/QUOTE]
