He has relented as I knew he would. For while our family has a say in the manor's finances, he cannot overturn the Lady's ruling on this matter," he says in a low voice to Lorien as you enter one by one. "Regardless, try not to annoy him or he might start becoming difficult again."The room is fairly large for a seneschal's workspace. It is decorated sparsely with a large wooden desk as its only true adornment. Lord Gar Ebal sits in behind the desk writing with a inkpen on one of several pieces of parchment."It seems Lady Pendour has made up her mid regarding your good intentions. I wish I shared them, but it obviously isn't my place, anymore, to question her acumen," Lord Ebal's words are touched with disdain. "I am preparing the appropriate documents that will allow you to function as Lady Pendour's champions in this matter. Do not lose them for you will not receive replacement documentation, which will disqualify you from receiving payment once the harpies are dealt with and the Lord's body is returned to this manor."You are receiving 50 gold ironweights each, up front, as the Lady has demanded of me, but you are obligated to perform your duties, regardless. If you take the money and run then I will personally swear out a warrant against you. You will be hunted as brigands, understood?" He doesn't wait for you to reply."If one of you should perish then a part of the money allocated through that person's writ will be used to provide you with the proper burial rites assuming that there be a body to bury. The remaining funds, from the 100 gold ironweights, are returned to the manor's coffers. Anyone left alive amongst your company will not be entitled to it unless the Lady, once again, decideds to rule otherwise."Also, you should note that we take the use of unauthorized Necromantic magicks very seriously in the Strandlands. If you attempt to raise the dead without the consent of a priest of Hades, you will be punished severely. The offending cleric or wizard usually loses a hand for a first offense. After that, the punishment is usually beheading or hanging with no chance of being raised from the dead. Any questions?"He looks up at you for the first time since you entered the room.OOC: Remember! Necromancy is very restricted in this campaign region. The North Gods and their followers are forbidden from casting certain Necromancy spells, regardless of whether or not the spell has the Evil descriptor.Note that Faiths not associated with the North Gods or the Balance do not concern themselves with such restrictions. The followers of the patron deities of the Demihuman Gods (i.e Corellon, Garl, Moradin, Yondalla, etc.) often honor this stricture when dealing with the followers of the North Gods, but they aren't forbidden by Faith to use such magicks unless such magicks go against the nature of the deity.More information on this campaign restriction will be forthcoming on the OOC thread... later. (I'm going to see Star Trek with a friend today, so I likely won't be back until late tonight or early tomorrow.)</blockquote>
