From Peasants To Heros

[Andor]

Weyland gives an admiring glance at Tillas backside then take a long draught of beer and sighs contentedly. "Well might as well see what the fuss is all about." he thinks to himself, and wanders over towards the adventurers.

 

[stonegod]

Ty floats about, trying to put two and two together. He'd heard the stories about the druid, of course, since it was about the time he `took his walk', but did not think of it much. He was content to see what these new fangled visitors would do; they had not impressed him yet.

Everyone: As you all float towards the adventurers from different angels the Paladin draws his sword, and begins to tell the tale of their quest. "We've have been selected by a circle of druids from days rides from here. We've have been selected by them to track down and kill a renegade druid by the name of Belak. We will bring this man to justice and I, Sir Brashford, swear by my sword, Shatterspike. We will not fail."

 

[Rhun]

Alonnd can only smile at the paladin's boast. Of course, if rumors were true, all adventurers bragged about their exploits and what they would accomplish. In truth, it meant little to the hunter. Still, even Alonnd would brag from time to time; the villagers loved his story about taking down a bull elk with a single shaft through the eye, or having faced off with a bear in the woods with only his hatchet to defend himself.

Perhaps there were more to these newcomers than he first thought. He'd give them the benefit of the doubt, at least until they proved otherwise.

 

[stonegod]

Belak. That was a name cursed in his house. He'd put it together---he'd gone walkabout after the Druid had come, and become what he was now. What he was then---he couldn't remember. But it didn't bother him. But he had to know something.

From the back of the crowd, with a lopsided grin, the boy called out, "What is he wanted for? Making too many plants healthy? That surely is a crime."

 

[Andor]

Weyland takes a contemplative sip of his beer as he listens to the paladin. A named sword eh? Guess they won't be needing anything from me. Pity. I wonder who this druid is?

 

[Ivellious]

The Paladin looks at Ty angrily, but quickly composes himself. He then answers quiet coldly, "He is wanted for the disruption of law. He believes survival of the fittest means he can kill anyone he chose because he is fitter than they are. We've been sent to bring him in. Does that answer your question?" The faint hint of disdain can be heard in his voice as he finishes his comment to Ty

 

[Rhun]

The paladin's answer brings a question to the hunter's lips. "So, this 'Belak' is a murderer then? Do we village folk need to be worried?"

 

[stonegod]

Ty chuckles a bit, but lets the others ask their questions. If it was truly 'survival of the fittest,' then it would work itself out, would it not?
