Heroes, Inc. : Rasheman

Timrin rises and moves closer to the growing knot of people. he politely waits his turn to introduce himself.

"Greetings Sarah, I am Sir Timrin Goldmantle", he bows gracefully, "and this is Shieldlord Devan Hardcastle. It is a pleasure to meet you."

Devan nods at his introduction but decides not to remain silent. "Greetings lass and welcome aboard. Of course, if you plan on protecting this lot you've got your work cut out for you. I hope your Masters told you what you were up against."

Whith some embarassement, Murdoch faces sarah: "Even in dark times, manners should not be put aside. My apologies, I have just lost one of my close companions. Lady Sarah, it is a pleasure to meet you. Do know that any friend of Shando is a friend of mine"

 

[kirinke]

"Her brother is dead, and I think she drank to numb the pain. She has a past history with Geberath, and said he could discredit her in the eye of her own people, which would jeopardize her life. She told me he gave her untill tomorrow to join him or he'd follow through with his blackmail. We definitely need to verify her information. I'd hate to be a pawn in a greater plot."

After Tim's introduction, and looking a bit embarassed, Murdoch turns to face Sarah "I apologize, manners should not pushed aside during dark times. I am Murdoch, and any friend of Shando is a friend of mine."

"Murdoch, we are pawns in a greater plot if you haven't noticed," Alethia said dryly. "Adding one more isn't going to be a big deal at this point," she looked at the lady monk. "Welcome to our merry band of crazies my new friend. I hope you survive the experience," she said with a wry, sardonic grin.

On the safe side, she asks Naverone to check the girl out, just in case the enemy is pulling a fast one. Just because Shando remembers the girl, doesn't mean that she is who she says she is, after all, their adversaries have been known to be able to take the forms of the familar and beloved.

She's legit.

Timrin shrugs helplessly at the words of the senior cleric. They were the truth after all.

Bowing once again he returns to a more comfortable spot. He has the concerned look of a leader once again.

"So what is our next step?" he asks no one in particular.

"You blew up an ambush and rescued Kayla... and that is good, but we learned nothing about the resistance. Do we even know 'who' the ambush was for?". Timrin shakes his silver mane.

"I fear we are on borrowed time. The Thayans and Tiger Lodge definitely know a powerful force moves against them. They probably know who we are and might even know where we are."

"Putting myself in their position I would be calling in my reinforcements from outside the city and preparing to put the squeeze on the remaining rebel groups. I expect the Thayans will soon drop all pretense of partnership or benevolent rule and make a show of overwhelming force. If that army arrives before we have mobilized the rogue factions, all may be lost."

"Naverone can you reach out to our lieutenants at the airship and ask them to monitor the Thayan army? Additionally, maybe Fin can stir up a few days of bad weather? I expect the army we have heard about is of a more conventional type. Nothing slows down foot soldiers and supply trains quite like a good hard rain and mud."

"Some of this might buy us some time but we are still at square one with the resistance. Any ideas?"

"Some of this might buy us some time but we are still at square one with the resistance. Any ideas?"

Naverone lets Timrin know that the girl is legitimate and relays his request to the one's in the airship.

"As for the army, I'd say have Fin lob as much bad weather and nature related attacks at the army. The Rashemi believe that the spirits of the land have forsaken them. If they see nature rebelling against the Thayans, that might stir them up in our favor."

"They did say that the main resistance was under the tavern, we still haven't been able to get there and they've probably moved by now." she looked inward. "Right now, our clearest goal is to get rid of the Tiger Clan Chief, we do that, the resistance will have a better chance than not." she said, looking at Timrin with a small, tired smile.

"Guerrilla warfare sucks," she remarked and looked at Timrin. He seemed to double in her eyesight and the exhaustion she held off once again reared it's ugly head.

The next time you look at her, she's soundly asleep.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Sarah. Despite our philosophical differences, I consider Shando to be a true friend," Dyria said.

 

[Hawkeye]

Sarah looks over the assembled adventurers, studying each of them intently, gauging each, seeming to stray over the female members longer. Her expression is flat, as she stands slightly between the rest and Shando.

"Thank you for the warm welcome. My primary duty is to Brother Shando, but I will do all I can to protect the rest of you as well, provided it doesn't endanger him."

Shando notices Sarah's stance and places his hand on her shoulder turning her slightly towards him. "What exactly are your orders regarding my safety?"

Sarah lowers her head slightly in what appears to be a sign of respect. "Oppa, I have been charged with your safety. I am to protect you to the best of my abilities from any and all threats. I am to follow all your orders.", she appears to blush a little at that statement but because of the postition of her face, Shando may not have seen it.

Shando seems to brighten for a moment and then speaks in a commanding voice unusual for him. "Then I command you to return to the monestary until I call for you or you are reassigned by the Order."

Sarah smiles and raises her face, looking straight into Shando's face. "Sorry oppa[/], but that eventuality has been planned for and that kind of order is one that I can ignore."

Shando sighs, and grimaces. "It was worth a shot. I wasn't there when you finished your training. Given that you are here, I can assume that you have. However, its not safe to make assumptions, especially given our current situation. I would like to see what you are capable of. Come with me. Its time to test you." Shando looks to the others. "Feel free to join us."

Shando, with Sarah in tow heads to a convenient courtyard.

Fin can in fact make the weather unpleasant in the area surrounding and north of the town, inconveniencing Thayan forces. He asks that maggie return to the ship for a short time, however, to figure out how to channel his power through the ship's own weather control functions that it uses to fly, which would probably allow him to affect the weather over more land and to a greater degree.


Otherwise, I'm just waiting for you guys to decide to do something...
