Off to War [IC]

"Yeah we should get him to Fallon like the dwarf said." comes the reply. and he starts towards the campsite helping to carry Shinn.

As you exit the woods you see Fallon walking towards you a shoulder bag in his arms. "Here, here this may help." he says to Claude. Looking to Aidan and Lora he asks, "No Martomum?" in a sad voice.

[sblock=ooc] handed Claude a healer's kit [/sblock]

"Why thank you Fallon this will aid us greatly, but I am no healer so this may be of better use to another comrade." Claude says almost apologetically and then moves to where Shinn is being brought to drop off the kit. "Now I believe that we have things to speak of and introductions to make" Claude says taking a seat at the fire and looking at the boy and the girl

Lora put on her frozen mask of disinterest, as she judged the newcomers one by one. The one who seemed to talk the most was a middle-aged man, with the manners and appearance of nobility. "Interesting accent." the girl remarked with a monotonous voice, while looking at the others. "Too many men. I guess i didn't think this over much did i..."

Aidan turned to Fallon as they exited the woods.

"Uh, Mart ain't here? I dunno who he is... but you'd be better off asking them..."

Before the boy was moved to sit around the fire with another stranger, who caused Lora to return to more of how she was when he'd first met her.

"Uh... I introduced myself already, didn't I? Anyways, what about Martomum, introductions can wait... he's probably in danger..."

 

[HolyMan]

"Intoductions can, can happen has we help Shinn," Fallon replies to the young man. "And by, by the accent and skin color your a Reygurian, correct."

Fallon walks to where Shinn is lying. "Hmm.. not, not to bad at all in a little shock maybe. Please Aidan can you raise his feet?" he says gesturing to the lad to help.

[sblock=ooc] How about an aid another role with the healing skill and another post it should put you over in XP and I'd like that done before your vacation [/sblock]

Aidan moved to lift Shinn's legs, trying to be gentle as he looked for the other boy's wounds.

"Fallon, shouldn't we be goin' ta look fer Martomum? What if Dellex's men... yanno..." The boy asked, frowning. He wasn't much of a healer, and he didn't want his ignorance to cost anyone their lives.

"I'm glad that I am with such astute company, yes indeed I am from Reygur. I do hope you do not judge me from my place of birth though I have given up much of the... culture. Mon nom est Claude Francois Grignard, at your service. I do not know of the customs here very well but asking about an accent is not an introduction, is it not?" Claude says looking down at his right hand after he finishes.

Claude hears the name Dellex again and goes back to stroking his goatee. "Dellex, that is the second time I have heard his name and both time it has not sounded good. From what I reember is that he has become advisor to Lord Bairan and is known to be ordered in his pursuits, though not dangerously so."

Claude leans in closer to the fire so the light illuminated his face fully "it has been said that he has been offered to be advisor advisor to the King of Pesh, although these could just be rumours. Come to think of it Dellex was sent to Pesh to gather the lords of the land to aid the The Great King's army. When he went to Lord Barian's manor he gained the rank of second in command and seems to be using his new found authority. I hope that has aided you, has it?"

As Claude finishes he grabs the bow off of his back and starts running his finger up and down the string, to look for notches, while looking at the girl infront of him. "Now I have a question why so interseted in... Martomum, if he was the dwarf I have seen him and he was in good health when we left?" Claude asks the girl, feeling she hasn't talked enough for his liking.

Lora let a torrent of ice stream from her azure coloured eyes, as she stepped to the side and started fiddling with her ponytail as if it needed refastening. She did not like to be intruded upon, and did not like someone who insisted on his own demands of her attention. "I hold no specific fondness for any one here, but I cannot stay idly when knowing that someone can fall victim to the undercurrents of the power struggle between men. - Lora paused as she observed the other's reaction. He seemed to know enough of the nobility to be interested in the bit of information she had collected herself. - Dellex has been taking care of the mundane events of the barony, and when one sees how the Lord removed loyal advisers such as Mart and demoted them to low positions, the picture becomes clearer and clearer. While we sit here gossiping of court rumours, the armed guard can be well on their way to dispatching Mart as he is a direct threat to Dellex's plans for power and eventual Lordship."

As she talked, the girl observed Aidan and Fallon's attempt at reviving the unconscious man, lying wounded on the ground. Some part of her wanted to help nurture him back to health, but a bigger, stronger one resented the thought of touching him. "And that is why I am not a Cleric." the girl stated matter of factly in her mind.

"No, no you have his feet to high," Fallon says to Aidan. "There that's, that's better thank you Aidan."

He looks over at the Lora and the newcomers. "I think, think you gentlemen have done enough you may go and thank you as well," he says. Then turning to look at Claude he says, "Please, please stay and tell me everything that happened when you met Martomum."

After listening to the brief account of Claudes encounter with Martomum and the others, Fallon gets up from Shinn''s side and returns to his stool. Staring out into the forest, the light of the dying fire placing shadows on his sad face. "You, you are right Lora," he says with a sigh. "Martomum is the only thing Dellex fears, because he is the only person that can bring Bear back to his old self. That's why I sent you with the message years ago Martomum was in trouble in the western woods and Bear dropped everything to help his friend. I thought.." he sighs again and continues to stare at the dark western woods.

[sblock=ooc] Great so far guys I'm enjoying this immensely, thank you. Oh and I knew you'd get an ear full FM once ML saw your post lol. [/sblock]
