[LPF] Expansion

"Perhaps so. I just hope for your sake that things here do not devolve to the state that it has gotten to in the area's surrounding the Harran Forest. I highly recommend that if you do proceed with your plans regardless of MY advice" Veniarus says, stressing the word 'my' while eying Ariel suspiciously, "That you try to maintain as much control over the traffic in and out of your Inn and over your workers as possible, and make sure that they do not venture into the Feywood, and preferably avoid groves and woods occupied by the other Fey in this area as well." he says the last part with a nod to Windflower.

OOC: This will probably be my last post till much later in the day my time as I have stayed up all night and will be going to sleep soon.

 

[Artur Hawkwing]

OOC: No worries DC. I finally figured out a way to keep within the constraints in the posting department for myself, so Audra will have little to say or do until this is concluded.

Audra busies herself seeing to clean up of the dishes from the meal and retrieving of glasses and/or mugs from those of the Noble's guard who have passed out or otherwise are incapacitated. A couple of them get amused smiles as they snore. When not retrieving dishes/vessels she sits near Adolfo and Nathaniel and watches the byplay from a distance.

OOC: Those who used their own cups or mugs or dishes will find them back beside themselves clean in the morning/when they wake up. Those that belong to the party will be repacked for travel before she goes to sleep.

"That goes without saying. Respect for one's neighbor's is essential to long term success even when one disagrees with said neighbors, whether they be human or fey." Lord Marvox continues as Windflower seems to be slowly coming around as she starts to understand that the noble at least knows the challenges his plan might face, and seems to have factored that into his plans already, though she is yet undecided as to whether his precautions are sufficient.

OOC: First, my apologies. I was under several professional and academic deadlines and should have informed everyone. Thanks Artur, for reminding me that the convo is moving at a swift pace.

"Windflower, it seems that Lord Marvox has indeed done quite of bit of research to make sure that his course of action is not foolhardy. However, I can understand how his research, being a bit one-sided, can represent just part of the big picture. As a denizen of this forest, you're in the best position to inform us what we are missing."

"Vise versa, Lord Marvox here is also the best person to inform you the details of the community he is planning on building. Giving him a chance to elaborate his plans will allow you to better forsee the potential impact to come."

Saktouk Bekloric, half-orc monk

Saktouk bites his lip, thinking a moment before offering, "If'n the only folk who can really know the dangers of the Feywood are the fey, but folk are bound to want to use the land they paid good coin for, maybe what they really need is a fey to lend 'em counsel, aye?" the half-orc says.

"It's soundin' like there's to be a movement o' souls this way eventually, whether you want it or not," he offers to the druid. "But if you were to enter into a bargain with this lord, you'd be on the inside, and able to see the dangers coming fastest, and hopefully able to stop 'em just as fast."

 

[sunshadow21]

She doesn't seem entirely convinced at Saktouk's logic, but reluctantly acknowledges the truth of it. She goes on to give a long spiel that manages to impart everything and nothing at the same time. The basic gist is that the Pact that the Feywood Court released is part of a much bigger agreement, and the manner that they released it came across as both a personal slap to the face and an attempt to force the hand of those who chose this land as their permanent home. Lord Marvox yawns through most of it, though he seems to take notice at the mention of a larger agreement, as if he hadn't heard that part before, or at least not from a credible source.

Ariel Esimae, Female Aasimar Cleric

Ariel tries not to yawn during the druid's speech as she doesn't understand what it has to do with Windflower's debate with Lord Marvox at all.

Finally she works on trying to convince Windflower that she should come to an understanding of checks and balances with the noble. She feels that it is in Lord Marvox's best interest to not let anyone cross the Fey's pact nor do anything to spoil the wildlands.

A few nobles hunting animals for sport is significantly different that Mister Savi's business venture in furs and should have minimal adverse effects.

Ariel Esimae

 

[Artur Hawkwing]

Audra listens, staying out of the conversation studiously, but absorbs like a sponge all of the words of Wildflower regarding the pact of the Fey and what she shares of the farther reaching proclamation. She nods as Saktouk seems to have been following the same line of thought as herself. She continues to listen as she wraps the plates and mugs of the party, preparing to put them away, her eyes not on the Druid, but on Lord Marvox.

OOC: I guess she almost dropped a plate or something and had to stop and catch that. As we can only post once per day, I should let you know I'll be out of pocket tomorrow all day. I will try to get a chance to get on over the weekend, but no promises, it might be Monday before I can post again.

 

[sunshadow21]

OOC: Actually, Ariel's response is quite good, I think. I'll wait for a few more responses before updating reactions.

 

[perrinmiller]

OOC: Maybe a few Aid Another's on diplomacy will help ensure the win.
