"Wait, so by my reckoning, that puts you at ten years old. Truly your people must be giants if you are yet a child!" Aohdan says, amazed.

"There's no distraction," Shayuri assures her father, fuming inwardly. Why did he always have to approach her as if she couldn't work things out for herself? "I got here early, so I passed the time talking with other mages. Now that the tournament has started, here I am. And I will do better. Archery was never my best subject to start with."
She then quickly tried to divert him, as a rock might change the course of a river it could never hope to dam up.
"Has mother come too?"

OOC: Actually, that was about 10 years ago, just prior to the Shadow War. As you may recall, Aohdan wandered off as a foal during the mustering of the armies that came to Azgund's aid. He witnessed a brewing conflict between a contingent of ogres and a squad of Tureni soldiers. The psionic awakening caused the two groups to meld together into one race, of about two dozen members, which were then whisked away to parts unknown as the young Aohdan lost consciousness.

OOC: Oh, sorry. I fixed. Does Aohdan understand what he saw? The part about the Soldiers and the ogres merging?

OOC: At the time, unlikely. He may be able to put the pieces together now that he's seeing an actual half-giant face to face.

Aohdan answers Valen, but with a stare that goes way past him and into the realm of distant memory. "He must be referring to when I was a foal. There were men, and what I think were ogres. They were about to fight, I think, and there was this light. Something hit my head and I bled for days. But after the light, there were these... things. Neither man, nor ogre, but similar to each. I had nearly forgotten it until now." Aohdan looked at Odon. "That's what you are talking about, isn't it? But what is my part in all this?"
Johen looks puzzled as no one answers his question.
The giant's words also puzzle him. One mind.. soldiers.. orgres.. merging.. alol very UNnatural.. Would She approve?
He nods to Aleera: "Yes be patient lass. There are more important things to deal with first."
He steps forwards to make sure he is in the face of the giant (or rather underneath it) and repeats what he had said articulating every word: "If - you - want - to test - your - theory, we - can - save - one - young - dragon - who - we - rescued - and - left - at - the - Arcane - Academy. He - was - affected - by - the - Plague... In-te-re-sted??"

(OOC: Demitri's a crow, not a raven. Same stats though. Why'd he go all the way over there for booze though? There's gotta be plenty of closer folks in the crowd with alcohol in hand. And don't forget, dwarves have an extra +2 on saves versus poison, like alcohol.) ^_^
Alaric responds to Estelle "Oh, I ran into a roadblock with some o' my research, an' couldn't figure out a few spells that would've aided my crossbow. I'm a fair shot, but na'so good as warriors like Valen or Muzdum, who've trained seriously at it. I just have talent 'n' practice."
He finishes up some background details of the painting, then adds "I s'pose I could've seen how far I could'a gotten anyway, but it didn't seem worth it without much chance o' goin' more'n halfway. So I'm paintin' t' pass the time between shots. I messed up Shayuri's 'n' Muzdum's pictures rather badly, but I've finally gotten my muse back. Oh, Shayuri is...well, somebody odd that followed me from Master Entan's speech, an' now she's o'er there, havin' words with 'er father. I get the feelin' she's either takin' a fancy t' me somehow, or reeeeaaaallly creepy an' stalkin' me fer who-knows-what but can't be nothin' good." Alaric whispers these last two lines.
Veering off of that unsettling line of thought, Alaric says louder and chipper, "So, ya have a good trip? Want my bird t' fetcha some booze like 'e finally did fer Muzdum? And d'ya think this homely face stands a chance o' gettin' anywhere with Her Ladyship o'er there?" He gestures towards Lady Devera out in the field as she addresses Muzdum. "I figure if I don't win a lordship 'ere, mebbe I can get one another way an' loaf off instead o' workin' fer Entan my whole life one way or 'nother," he says with a silly grin. He really is quite homely looking, too.
He faces the archery field for a moment to cup his hands and shout "SHOW THA' TARGET AN' THEM JUDGES WOT FOR, MUZDUM!" in rough Dwarven.
By this point, Alaric is putting away his painting supplies, finished and considering whether or not he should go see where the others wandered off to, or why the stranger was berating the almost-equally-unknown Shayuri.
