"You are knowledgeable, wise. But we are in war and scholars are not very usefull here." He turns around a look at Pernicious. "We won't asks you to fight. But you might find the work less interesting. Even if we are not under siege, we seldom have wounded that need to be taken care of. I cannot always look over them all the time, so I have my help, here. I present you Akora." The deva was sitting on the side listening and staying silent. "You will help her in his task for now, until we find something more appropriate for your skills. Now, I have a meeting to attend, and we just received news that two wounded are on there way, so let's not waste time." On that he leaves the two man alone.-=-=-= Tactic Room =-=-=-Lord Baltimore, Vi'kandrix and Kolvram was standing in large room. In the center of that room was a large wooden table, but no chair. On the table was engraved a map of the region of Thane's Hold. Many scrolls with notes and other maps was spread around the table. On the walls was displayed many scene of battle. Lord Baltimore have no problem identifying many of them, being reknown event of the history. But there is three of them that evade his knowledge, but he guess they are battle known to the dwarves, stories less spread among the other races.With the three was the elf and the halfling, giving a report of the events. The two dwarves that composed there team had left to other tasks. They were reporting to a small but muscular human. Only half an head above a dwarf, he seemed to have the constitution of a child of Moradim. He was listening to the story of teh two scouts. Around the human were three others dwarves, his advisors. Once the scouts finish there reports, the human stay silent for a time.One of the dwarves, wearing a chainshirt and an heavy warhammer, with dark red hairs, suggest "They might have found a way through the Hand.""Don't be silly Pendrake." tells an old dwarves, displaying the symbol of Moradin on his clothes. "There is no way through it. You know well, there is only three way to get out of this valley. By Thane's Hold, by sea and by air. And orcs don't fly.""Rooby is true" tells the third dwarf, wearing a dark purple cloak and a few high quality golden jewels. "But the Eladrin do. There magic allow them to jump over Moradin's Hand. A gift from Correlon during the last elven war.""Are you suggesting the Eladrin would betray us, Leopol." asks Pendrake."Sorry sirs" interrupt the halfling scouts. "I remember one of the Goliath's friend speaking of a ritual that didn't occur as the caster wanted. They were taking refugee into the Sif Forest, but brought the orcs with them by mistake.""Was it a mistake?" add Pendrake."Don't be silly, Eladrins hate orcs even more than dwarves. Just looks at the kingdom of Liess. The Voice made no slaves. The people of Liess either was slain or the escaped and hide somwhere. No Eladrin or elves would in there right mind ally with a follower of Bane." replies Rooby."Let not waste time." interrupt the human. "Pendrake, you take two cohorts and chase those orcs out of the mountains. Leopol, contact the Eldarin and confirm teh scouts version with them. If you suspect something, tell me as soon as possible. Rooby, go take a look at the wounded. See if you cannot hasten there recovery. Now, dismiss."As everyone is about to leave, the human adds "Not the three of you." He wait a moment and when he is alone with Lord Baltimore, Vi'kandrix and Kolvram. "Welcome to Thane's Hold. I am Lieutnant Madisson. I've been working for the Thane for over a decade and I'm in charge of everything that come from inside the valley, and that include reinforcement and volonteers from Sif and Haven. I must tell it's the first time I see such an unusual crew. So, let's start the presentation. State your name and teh reason of your arrival at Thane's Hold."-=-=-= Chapel =-=-=-As Stonebear open his eyes, he see an old dwarf with the symbol of Moradin printed on his clothes. He is smiling. "Nice to see you. It was a pretty serious wound you had at your leg, but it healed. You'll feel it numb for a time, but that sensation is normal. It will go away by the night. You'll only need a good night of rest and tomorrow you'll be ready to fight again. I heard how you get that wound, and if you decide to stay, it will be a good thing for us. If you need anything, you can asks my assistants here for anything." He point toward an Eladrin and a Deva. On that, the dwarf leave the room.Stonebear look around, and see there is only two occupied bed, him and the cleric dwarf who help them escape the orc. He was also wounded during the ambush, but he was recovering. His wound even seem less serious than his own. The chapel is a great stonework, but with few decoration. The walls and roof is made ot give an impression of space even if after consideration, there is not much space, even less with the ten beds spread in the chapel. To Stonebear guess, it must have been a long time a ceremony have been celebrated here.</blockquote>
