"Not all of us," corrected Dyria, just to remind the others that this wasn't her hometown. "Personally, I think we should split our forces again because, as you say, we have leads in two seperate areas. If those who go stay in communication with those who stay, and provided we keep the proper transportation magic available, it shouldn't be too dificult for either group to pop in to help the other one if they get into trouble."
Alethia bowed. "I would be honored to join your organization." she looked sober. "I will go with whichever group can use me the most though. To me, both the trip to Sarkon and staying here are equally important." she looked at Aleena.
"No one doubts your ability to protect yourself my lady. But your father was well able to protect himself and he still fell victim to those blackguards. Overconfidance has been the death of many an adventurer. Do not even begin to think that our recent victories will continue. Our enemies are very well prepared. Never forget that. Besides, I don't trust any city guard overmuch. They are too open to corruption within the ranks," she smiled at the sorceress. "As a teacher once said, prepare for the worst, hope for the best and survive."

"... where you hang your hat," Fin the foreigner replies with a shrug and a smile.
"Well, this isn't my hometown either, but like the deranged, altruistic priestess I am, I'm not going to let some bloody, bunch of cultists destroy a city simply because they can." she grinned at Dyria. "It's a personal problem with me, I know, but no mind-healer has been able to cure me of it."
Timrin patiently waits his turn to offer his congratulation to the groups newest member, "Welcome to the brotherhood, Alethia of Selune."
He then turns his attentions to the rest of the assembly.
"Friends, let us not forget we are in the employ of Lady Aleena. Obviously, we may have concerns for her safety, but ultimately she is in charge. We must abide her wishes."
He follows this with a hard look and a long pause to emphasize that he thinks we may have over-stepped our roles in the relationship. His broad shoulders then slump in frustration before he continues..
"I am unsure of our next course of action. Oberon, the mischevious but generally benign god of the Fey has indicated we should seek out another of these demon-slaying blades in far off Mulhorand. My gut tells me this is important but my mind cannot grasp why. Ties to Mulhorand abound in this mystery but none of them make much sense to me."
"Are we being led about again only to have our enemies swoop in behind us while we are away? Splitting the group to accomplish both things may be an option but we will only do each thing half as well. Is that good enough? Guessing wrong may have dire consequences."
"If it were Helm and not Oberon telling me to go to Mulhorand I would be at the docks as well speak. Perhaps this is the reassurance I seek... we all seek. I mean no offense to the Lord of the Fey, but we need guidance from a source we can fully trust. Alethia's suggestion of a commune seems sound to me."
"Regardless of our next step, I want no part of anything Aiden Zarun has to offer. He has not proven himself an enemy, but he most certainly is dangerous. Until we are certain what side he is on, I suggest polite but minimal relations."
"Lastly, I make no formal claim to the sword, though it appears to have chosen me. If you wish me to wield it, I shall. But I would first like to get it magically examined by a trusted mage <he looks hopefully at Lady Aleena> and by my Church."
He then steps back and awaits the next round of discussion.

Alethia smiled at Timrin. "I think that the sword has made it's own choice on its bearer. Such things are well out of our hands anyway, but having it vetted is prudant."
She looks at Aleena. "Forgive me for speaking harshly to you. I have suffered from overconfidance a time or two myself and each time I thought as you have, those situations ended in disaster. Please, consider what I have said." she said apologetically.

Murdoch nods "Yes, she has proven herself worthy. However, we do need to look into her background once all this madness is over" Looking at Athelia "Welcome... let us hope you are true to what you have shown us"
frostrune said:
"I agree. If I were the enemy, I would want us to separate. No, we must stay together"
Steve Gorak said:
"I suspect I am as true as I have shown," she said with a wry grin. "If nessisary, I will give a full accounting of myself, under truth spell." she shrugged. "As far as the background goes, I am from Narfell. For the rest you may ask the temple of Selune. I've also worked with the Temple of Helm before and they probably know as much about me as my own people do."
Steve Gorak said:
"If we seperate, we may be harder to track. If we stay together we will be easier to pin down. On the other hand, we will be weakened by halving our numbers." she shook her head. "Either way could be an advantage for our enemy. So..." she held out her hands in a frustrated guesture.
