J. Alexander's Four Lands Part 2, redux

[J. Alexander]

The Commission

Exploring the grounds, Tetsu discovers signs of a simple assault against the farmstead. It appears as if the the farmers and their familes were caught unawares and buthcerd where they stood. A search of the interior reveals female resdients badly used then killed. Perhaps the most disturbing sight to Tetsu is a cradle smeared with blood both insided and out. From all the signs the farm has been looted and the attackers fled in a north northwest direction.

Agelo's search of the silos and barns shows that they are indeed filled with grain and that the livestock has been butcherd as well and left to burn with the buildings.

 

[Scotley]

Angelo

Disturbed by the scene. He turns to the others, his voice is cold but his eyes are on fire. "I say we give chase. And let them see how it feels to burn."

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Tetsu

"I agree, my friend, though I care nothing for burning. Such a blight should be removed from the Earth, and the quicker the better."

 

[Scotley]

Angelo

"I wonder if someone isn't trying to promote unrest by destroying food, and farmers. Normal raiders would have taken food rather than burn it don't you think?" Away from the misused women, Angelo seems to be returning to normal. There was a disturbing look in his eye earlier, something feral and wild.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Tetsu

Although he appears calm and logical, as befits his training at the monastery, Angelo catches perhaps a hint of sympathetic wildness in Tetsu's eyes as he contemplates the wreckage and the wasted life.

The Comission

As the party prepares to leave the area chase of the pillagers the horses become a little restless as if sensing somethin.

For Angelo
[sblock]Cat sticks his head out of his travel pouch and says "Someone is still alive...in the fields i think"[/sblock]

 

[Scotley]

Angelo

Angelo scratches the chin of the cat suddenly poking his head out. Softly to his companions he says, "I think there is a survivor in the field over there."

Lucien Montrose

OOC: Sorry guys, we've had DSL problems at the house. Something about living in a seventy year old house with thirty year old wiring. Anyway, I'll try to do better. /OOC

Lucien peers into the field Angelo has pointed towards. "You have keen eyes, my friend. That, or you understand the gestures and calls of you animal companions unusually well. By all means though, let us hie to the poor soul and see what aid and comfort we can render. 'Haps they can describe the scoundrels who have perpetrated this foul deed that we can deliver suitable chastisement upon them when we arrive at their haven."

OOC: Sorry guys for the long harangue there, but a bit of Mandorallen crept into my tongue and I could not stop. /OOC

Angelo

"Let's go try to get the tale from them."

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Tetsu

"Agreed."
