Greyhawk - Return of the Slavelords! Part 1

Defrel, Male Human, Thief

"No, no, please do not think yourself nethier coy nor rude. If I may be as so blunt, since you are a traveler of the road..." Defrel stops playing with the coin and begins to clench it in his palm, "in your travels have you come across a young lass by the name of Daynah?"

"She is of Teifling birth, however, looks more elven, raven colored hair and eyes? She herself is a Traveler?" Defrel inhails deeply...

"I am sorry I am Defrel," Defrel exhauling, "Defrel the Lost as some call it - good to meet you Verrick Ardmore de Traveler."

"Well met Defrel the Lost." Verrick sighs deeply and claps Defrel by the arm. "I'm am powerfully moved by what I sense in your simple words. I too was lost once and I remember all too well the pain of that. As I travel ever onward I too shall look for your Daynah in hopes of helping you find your way."

Randallson warily eyes Verrick and then the rest of the assembled group as you are entering the castle (his eyes linger a tad bit longer on Geenaa’s then anyone else). Up close all notice that while the day is mild, the small man is sweating a great deal. He has rings on all of his fingers and even his thumbs. His cloak has mystical runes stitched into them and he is wearing silver bracers. Everything about him screams of a noble who has just arrived as a costume ball dress as what he thinks a wizard should be dressed. He says "Ah yes, a minor trick I picked up in my younger days… ah if you will excuses me I need a bath and drink…”

Brilta Katrina smiles warming at Verrick and the rest saying “Well meet indeed… it is so nice to see young people on such a fine spring day” She also excuses herself to ‘freshen up’

Ko bows to each and says “Your humble servant”

Sir Bernardo smiles easily as the group finds a large table within the reception hall of the castle to sit. To Lorien he says “No offense taken lad, and no shame in it either. I did not mean to assume that you would all participate in any way. Now then, let us break beard together… to new friends and comrades”

Most of the rest of the day is uneventful. Most guests arrive and the evening meal is large and hearty, with roasted beef and mutton, drink of all kind is available (even water!), bread, soups, etc. Servants come and go, and the party notices that on some of the lower tables a number of very simply dressed people are also enjoying the festivities (probably some of the local peasants).

[occ]Unless anyone wishes to do something else, the evening will come and pass and all will return to their rooms to sleep… I am unsure who is sleeping where. There are 3 rooms spilt out for the 6 of you [/occ]

Verrick dines heartily, but drinks only a little more wine, before retiring to the room he is sharing with Lorien. There he will check in with his familiar and see if the hawk saw anything of interest then retire for the evening.

When Lorien returns he will share what he knows of the guests with him.

I should prepare spells appropriate to a tournament for tomorrow. Heavy on the protection.

Norbac eats voraciously, without giving a second thought to what happened in the day. After that, he returns to his bed and throws himself in it, only stopping to remove his armor.

Lorien Human Ranger

Lorien dines with Arianrhod. He eats almost nothing, and drinks very little (ooc: ring of sustenance). He will stay up as late as possible with Arianrhod, maybe even go with her for a midnight stroll, and then retire for the night.

Defrel, Male Human, Thief

Defrel finishes his conversation with Verrick, thanking the man for his help, and wish that they might travel together in the future. He begins to eat a simple meal...bread, meat, and wine...

Thanking Noss for the wine, he bids the servent to wake him at the break of dawn, then returns to his bed and begins his sleep.

[occ]I am going to bump the time-line up just a bit, but if you have anything else that you wanted to ask or look into I can back-up into whatever you might wish to do[/occ]

While most of the rest of the party heads to bed fairly early, Arianrhod readily agrees to the stroll with Lorien that night. She talks of small things and agrees to meet him in the morning for the services to Pelor and bids him a good night very late indeed…

As the morning is dawning, Defrel is awakened early by Noss. The rest awaking and a given light breakfast of fruit and vegetables in their rooms. They are told that the morning service of Pelor will start the weeklong festival and will begin at ten bells (in a couple of hours) and that they are all requested to attend. While the services will be to Pelor, afterwards, other denominations will also be honored with their own services and private gatherings, as you desire.

Lorien goes and meets the lady Arianrhod at her room. Her maid, a young bit of a girl greets him at the door and finally presents Arianrhod, who is dressed in an eloquent, yet simple white dress.

Sir Bernardo and Ko meet the rest of the group on the way to the church that takes up a good portion of the northwestern part of the castle. Sir Bernardo is dressed in a simple white robe with a simple dagger at his side. Ko is dress much as he was the night before, a simple robe with sandals.

His Excellency, Derish of Pelor, is dressed in very fine ceremonial vestments of his clergy. The services is about an hour long (and for some that is about 45 minutes to long), talking about the coming summer, the blessings of the god of light, of being vigilant again the darkness that holds sway over much of the world, of doing good, about honor, etc. Finally Bishop Derish ends the service and blesses the festival of Goodglow and Dame Messalina stands to invite those who wish to go to private services that she has made arrangements for.

Arianrhod excuses herself to Lorien as she wish to change before their ride and that she will meet him at the stables.

Those who wish to go to a private service or devotions may, as shires have been set up for most of the good gods of the area (Heironeous, Ehlonna, etc.)

Verrick Human Rogue/Wizard

When the servants bring breakfast Verrick inquires of the servant, "Pray tell me good fellow, what has the Dame planned for her guests today after the religious observances have taken place?" He then studies his spell book a bit in preparation for the days activities.

Verrick dresses and takes part in the rites to Pelor doing his best to remain attentive. He then looks for a place to make appropriate observances to Fharlanghn. He takes special care to pray that Defrel finds his way again. He also prays that he will find this journey to Minaryn Castle to be a successful one. Once his private observances are complete he goes looking for friends--new as well as old.

Lorien, Human Ranger

Lorien goes about gathering a basket of fruits, cheese, cold meat, and wine. He places a sheet to sit on as well. He dones his armor and takes his sword with him as an extra precaution.

"I'm off for the morning Verrrick. I should be back sometimes this afternoon. Good luck in the tournemant."
He then saddles Avalon and goes to pick up Arianrhod.
