He turns to Ahote, "That's it, huh...you're here to see Lord Noran!  Well, you just head up to the keep, then.  Don't let us keep you, sir elf."  He bows awkwardly, whispering to his companion, "See, you just gotta know how to speak their language is all."Lord Noran's Keep...Hrugnir and Shajrom arrive in Lord Noran's grand hall.  In the keep of any other Lord, this room would be full of finery, lush furnishings and grand portrayals of the Lord's accomplishments.  Lord Noran has turned it into a planning room, full of tables upon which lay maps and papers.  His strategic advisors are gathered around him at the central table as Hrugnir and Shajrom are ushered in.  Shortly thereafter, Guard Sergeant Emran and his nephew, Phai arrive.  Lord Noran rises and bids the newcomers to approach, "Thank you for coming.  Sergeant Emran, your report?"Emran bows respectfully to Noran, "We have just barely enough troops to support the walls against a seige my lord...and not enough supplies to sustain them for more than a week.  Militia numbers are low...many of our youth left to join the King's Army of their own volition."Noran nods, "It is good that you brought your nephew."  He turns to the half-elf, the half-ogre, and the dwarf, "Vedlund has need of you.  We have information that the King will move against us, soon.  He doesn't like dissidents, and my actions have labeled us as such in his eyes.  We are planning on defending the town against a possible seige from the King's Army.  Any insight you can provide to bolster the defense would be appreciated."</blockquote>
