OOC - Retinue

OOC:
OOC: His retinue? I thought he was alone but for his horse? Or is that what you mean, a speak to animals thing?

See post # 165 below:
Hraln perceives the signs of a small camp of three other persons nearby, presumably a page/herald, a squire, and a groom. Their mounts (nags) are present but the assistants themselves are not visible. (Perhaps they have gone either up- or downstram to fish?)

The knight, now fully accoutered, dips his lance briefly in salute, and his charger stamps and champs restlessly, eager to engage.
 

OOC: Oh, I remember that now.
Sozin comments "We should be wary when we approach them. They may be privy to the geas and not want anyone interfering. Just sayin'."
 


Ero gives a start, and his gaze snaps into focus on his surroundings. He slaps his tail irritably as it flutters around his face, and visibly tracks the conversation of his companions as they discuss what to do about the knight and his retinue. But he says nothing for the moment.

[sblock=GM]Ero wracks his brain for any knowledge of these strange events that might be helpful. Looking at Arcane for the most likely possibilities that would cause the Knight's mistake about his location, History for knowledge of Ket or the Knight, and Local for anything about the area that might be useful.

Sir Pavel Hikaru, Ero's insight

[sblock=Ero ONLY]
Arcana - It has been documented that spatial and temporal disorientation are sometimes residual effects of charms or mind control. Spatial disorientation is more commonly associated with charms that are effected by natural abilities rather than the more 'pure' arcane energies of an application of The Art.

History - I need to know more about what knowledge of Ket you seek in order to provide anything remotely useful. But, what the heck, I'll take a stab at it anyway -- Ero knows nothing about this knight in particular, but he does know that quite frequently, Kettish knights will endeavor to accomplish some feat of exceptional derring-do in order to be a 'feather in one's cap' to aid in obtaining plum asignments. Jousting random passers-by at a bridge does not seem even remotely to qualify, which raises the question: Just what in hell was this guy doing here, anyway?

Local - Ero overheard some peasant women at the last rest stop lamenting the fact that their husbands would be out woodcutting for several more days yet. They seemed to fear for their safety because of a 'forest demon' that has/had(?) been more active of late.

The blue-skin approaches his companions and speaks softly. "I believe that this man is, as you say, under the effects of a charm of some sort, most likely effected by a creature who does so naturally rather than by application of any studied art. Further, as we wandered about to arrive at this place Hankak overheard some of the peasants murmuring about a forest demon wandering about . . . such a creature might possess the ability to charm the Knight. This would explain why he is engaging in such useless activity. Jousting with random strangers at a mountain pass or other choke-point would be pointless even were he actually in his native land. No Ketite in his right mind would be doing so this far outside his realm."

Ero snaps out a long-fingered hand to grasp his tail as it tries to slink 'round behind Yurei, presumably to investigate the contents of the other Tiefling's belt-pouch.
