Philo Juramant Paladin 1

"(one his turn, he approches the dame)Good day My Lady. I thank you for your generous and sincere hospitality. May Heironeous look upon your great festival with his divine grace.

The Paladin behaves towards the lady and her attendants with utmost curtousy and chauvinism, offering to open the door for them, etc.

When shown to his room, he refuses wine and any luxuries and takes only bread and a modest serving of fruit.
 

Lorien and Arianrhod chat throughout the rest of the afternoon and well into the evening. Arianrhod confides to him, that her father is a very well to do merchant in Hardby and along with strong ties to the Merchant’s Alliance there. The Alliance is interested in opening a better overland trade route into the Abbor-Alz and with the Duchy of Urnst, something the Greyhawk Oligarchy and the Hardby Gynarchy seem uninterested in right now (or at least not putting troops or militia into the area to protect merchants from bandits). Arianrhod is here to solicit the help of Dam Messalina.

Norbac and Verrick catch up with stories oh there more recent adventures and tales as the head to the courtyard. More people are coming, while others mill about, and servants run to and for. While they watch a plain carriage arrives and older gentlemen dress in priestly cloths steps out, followed by two attendants, a young man and woman, also attired in priestly vestments. You hear him introduced as “His Excellency, Derish of Pelor” and he chants a polity with Dame Messalina. While the two are standing about, Norbac sees a young pretty girl standing in the shadows a bit who is looking at the two of them. When she notices Norbac looking at her she steps out into the open and curtsies to him and says in a rather low voice “May I tell you your future my lord?” Norbac then notices she is dressed as Rhennee, a river gypsy! Her long raven hair is tided back tightly into a traditional bun, and her clothing is simple with a great deal of conflicting colors. She produces a small desk of brightly colored cards from a vest pouch.

Verrick notices about then a strangely dressed man standing on the other side of the courtyard. A human male of maybe middle years, about 5’ 10’ and rail thin, dressed in a simple brown robe that has seen better days and sports long black hair and a bread that in serious need of a comb. He mutters to himself occasionally and the servants seem to give him a wide berth. He stares at you and Norbac for a second, then at the young Rhennee girl and mutters some curse and turns and makes his way back into the Castle, disappearing from view.

Geenaa makes her way to the courtyard and sees Norbac and Verrick. She also notices the arrival a man on a huge horse. The man is in his later years, dressed in very fine and polished full plate armor with the symbol of Pelor on this chest. He is not wearing a helm, and he sports long white hair with a thick mustache. He is wearing a very fine bastard sword strapped to his right side. Stepping off the great roan, he holds the servants who arrive to take it to the stables and says some quit words in its ear. The horse then turns are races out of the castle. Watching the animal it vanishes in a soft golden glow before making it across the drawbridge….

Philo takes his refreshments by himself and quietly reflects about the upcoming events. Servants come and go, and a few are brave enough to ask for minor blessing etc.

For most the rest of the rest places uneventfully, no events are planned for tonight, but all are invited to Dame Messalina’s table for dinner…

"Go on Norbac, see what glorious future awaits you." After Norbac, Verrick will ask the girl "What do the cards say about me?"

That odd man makes me uncomfortable and I'd better keep an eye out for him.

Verrick will make an effort to meet all the newcommers.

Lorien, Human Ranger

Lorien offers to help Arianrhod in any way that he can to achieve her goals. At the end of the night he will walk her to her room (if she wishes), and bid her a good night.

(ooc: the offer to horse riding the following morning is still open)

For all those who ask him, Philo asks for blessings from Heironeous.

Philo walks around the festival to familiarize himself with the surroundings, and meet the other party members. He proudly displays his symbol of Heironeous. He also greets and offers best wishes to followers of other respected gods, such as Pelor.
 

Norbac, half orc cleric.

"You sure? I don´t believe that things"

Norbac turns to the young girl:

"Draw your cards. My friend wants to know what I´ll do"

Someone said:
"You sure? I don´t believe that things"
Norbac turns to the young girl:
"Draw your cards. My friend wants to know what I´ll do"

"Yes child, please draw your cards for us. I fear with all these Pelorites about its going to be a rather dull affair this evening."

Adjusts his holy symbol to make sure it is displayed for all to see.

"Who's the skinney fellow with the dour expression that was eyeing us with such disapproval."

Arianrhod seems delighted at Lorien's offer of assistance and readily agrees to go riding on the morn, saying "I believe their will be a serves tomorrow morning given by the Derish of Pelor, the main Bishop from Hardby, but after that I would be honored to go riding with you. I am not an expert rider, mind you, so I put my trust within your capable arms gentle sir." with playful eyes.

Defrel returns to the courtyard and sees Geenaa standing somewhat by herself watching the finely dressed man and woman arriving.

The Rhennee girl smiles and says to Verrick "He is called Joseph of the Light my lord. He is a bit odd, and does not seem to be overly fond of anyone… especially me. Now then, the cards…" looking at Norbac she nimbly shuffles the cards in her hand (she does not have a table or anything, she is shuffling then in her hands). She then offer the desk to Norbac and says "Take three cards my lord…" from the three that Norbac draws he sees that they are finely painted pictures, one of an Armored Knight carrying a flaming sword and riding a white horse with flaming hooves. The next card is a Giant, carrying a large club smashing into the side of a castle tower. The last card is that of a Raven sitting on an old dead tree with a red snake in it mouth. The girl says "The Knight of the Flame, honor, courage and glory; the lord burning against the darkness. I see hard work ahead of you my lord, opposing some darkness. The Giant Blighter, war, horror, no place to hide. This card tells me that those that would oppose you seek to spread conflict, and one cannot run away or hide. The last card, the Raven Hunter, the seeker, the searcher, the speaker of ill tidings. This card tells me that very soon something bad is going to happen to you or to those whom you love. Ill-tiding indeed milord. But again, most do not believe… I will tell you one last thing… the woman in the dark hate you. All of her rage is focused on your, I do not know why… but it is true. She waits for you in the dark place of earth. Watch for the sign of the Red Moon and you will know she is near. Mistletoe is her bane and she cannot stand its presence… with it, you might survive." About then the girl shakes her head and sways on her feet a bit. Recovering she looks down at her hands and the cards, then back up at the two of you and smiles "And you my lord? Do you also wish to have me look into your future?" she says to Verrick.

When Philo returns to the courtyard he finds a couple of people that he recognizes from past expeditions, Norbac and Verrick are talking to a Rhennee girl, Geenaa and Defrel are talking among themselves and awaiting to meet a older gentlemen dressed in finely polished full-plate armor with the symbol of Pelor engraved onto the chest. He looks middle aged, and yet his limbs are still strong. When introduced to Dame Messalina it is as "Sir Bernaldo Bravos, humble knight of Pelor, light of the Mark"
 

Defrel, Male Human, Thief

[OOC: I thought you would post something else DM, sorry.../OOC]

Arriving somewhat later then the rest of the quests and man enters...standing tall for a moment the man is of a human descent. He seems rather average as far as build is thought. He seems little different from the next survior of the Wars.

Dressed in a losse sleeveless brown tunic over a dull olvie shirt and pair of loose brown pants. A pair of sturdy dark brown boots and gloves are worn. He seems to rather unarmed, save for a visible blad of some kind on his belt.

I wonder what this night might bring...

Defrel looks around and spots the servant Noss, approaching him, Defrel pulls him aside...

"Noss, I have somethings I would like you to find for me..." Defrel asks the servant.


[OOC: Notes; S.Dagger in Boot, P. Dagger on small of back, rest of gear in room....welcome to Defrel to the party.]
