He was so sure of this mission when it was assigned to him (by King Haspen himself no less) and the goal seemed easy enough - find the half-elf Tharivol and bring him to Siere - but that was now out of his hands. He had thought Tharivol would be at Harkon Manor or somewhere near, maybe living in his own cabin in the woods near the elven border. But that would have been to easy, and the gods loved to make sure Dellex's life was hard it seemed. "How else do you explain that accursed dwarf always being in my life," he comments out loud. But Martomum was not the problem at this time, he was out of the way once more. The problem was Dellex had men (and gnolls) out looking for Tharivol and all he could do was wait to see if any were competent enough to get the job done without the wizard there to hold their hands (um.... paws?). Dellex laughed to himself quietly, something needed to happen soon. All this waiting was slowly driving him mad._______________________________________________________In the elven forest on the other side of the river across from Harkon Manor an unusual group sat hidden from anyone at the stone edifice that might spot them. Four humans, three elves, and two half-elves made for a large group. But with the help of Elder Tyion and the invisible Wardens that he commanded (and yet no one saw) they made good time through the forest and kept hidden from any patrols that may have been sent out from Tirol. The Wardens had dropped off food without being seen and Elder Tyion had provided water with his divine abilities. So if not for the urgency of their flight and the mission before them, the trip through the elven forest would have been a pleasant time for all. The wonders they saw in the lush green, and the peacefulness that settled over them as they walked paths never trodden by humans would last with them for years to come and help in the dark times ahead."And dark times it will be," the ambassador says to the unspoken thoughts. "If we fail to bring the Crown of Isillis back to the empire. Dark times should the Purist have their way and every human be turned into the slave they believe they should be."The group sits and waits. The Wardens were to be showing up soon with the ambassador's belongings and boats to once more cross the river into human lands. As they wait Aver once more gripes about the plan to explain why the ambassador would wish to travel with a human army."But let me get this straight once more," he says tossing a stone into the dirt. Everyone rolls their eyes and sighs. "You want to go to the humans. Say you have an urgent message to give their High King in Siere and that they should escort you safely through their lands no questions asked?""That is right. And do not forget that I am to be addressed as a Nandirly ambassador," the ambassador answers. "I will let them know that it is of great importance to stopping the Treylor invasion, all true mind you. And that all of you should accompany me as liaisons (Malaroc and Ernstine), bodyguards (Jarteh and Trinham), and...""And servant." Aver interupts "Why do I have to be the servant.""Because if I were to have a human servant, I would need to treat them as a slave. That I believe would not go over well. You make the best choice. Elder Tyion is going to go back to Tirol and will hopefully be able to keep us informed as to what goes on with the search for more Purist supporters. And as an ambassador I will need to have a someone on hand to help with my belongings. Where are they by the way?""Patience," Elder Tyion says smiling. "They will not fail. But I am curious. What about Tira and Tharivol? You did not give them... assignments. And yet the three of you talked quietly alone for hours each night on our way here.""We will not be crossing the river," Tharivol says before the ambassador can speak. "At least not for a while yet.""Yes they have something else to do. Something just as important if I am correct." the ambassador says a little vexed that Tharivol had spoken of it.Tira grins as if bursting with a secret she wishes to tell. She looks up to Tharivol and he nods. Turning to Jareth she says quickly, "And we are to be married as well. Isn't that wonderful."[sblock=OOC] Ok about a third as long as before but will try and give out all other info (and new gear <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />) as we RP. Just wish EnWorld wasn't acting up -"So little to do, so much time." - Willy Wonka (had to quote him it's my 10,000th post <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> )Great times ahead - promiseHM [/sblock]</blockquote>
