Paths of Legend - Tragedy at Silvergard

The line...

Aohdan and Muzdum move forward to the gate and are seperated out into the "foreigner line." Soon enough a guard says in Common, "I'll need to inspect your belongings. You two traveling together?" At that point, a tall, for a halfling fellow, approaches the guards, "Excuse me fine gentlement but those halflings out there are my clan and I had made prior arrangements to...Holy jumping horse manure! Is that a centaur?!"

Johen and the halflings fiind themselves next in line and hear the rather vehement exclamation. Miraki smiles, "That'll be Tark. Never could keep his fool mouth shut."

Valen, on the wine wagon, finds the line moving at a respectable rate now...and into line with the locals being ushered into the city. A guard looks up at the wagon driver and then at Valen and raises an eyebrow. The driver winks at Valen, then says to the guard, "Oh don't worry about him, Neville, I just hired him on, he's good." The guard, apparently somewhat frazzled by the goings on of the morning, waves the wagon on through.

Inside the gate...

Corath, William, Estelle and Alaric can all hear Tarkesi's exclamation. They all also note the entry of the wine wagon, with the Tureni man seated next to the driver. Behind the wagon, a half-elf carrying twin short swords and wearing a mithral shirt enters as well. Alaric recognizes the half-elf, though the last time he saw him was several years ago. The half-elf is Iphithis, former of adventuring companion of Entan.

"Odd indeed fella, better watc up each other back in here, doesn't seems like the other citys Ah was in." Muzdum answer, but he get stopped by the guard. "My stuff? Well... Ah think it's not fair that you touch my property, but if tha's the only way to get som' booze, the hell ye' "
 

Hmm, interesting fellow that Tark.. thinks Johen for himself.
"Yes, quite tall a halfling your cousin...

Hmm, Miraki, where are you staying in town? Any place to recommend?.."


After he gets his answer and the guard checks his belongings, Johen says to Miraki:
"Alright, look, I'd like to have a word with that centaur.. it's quite something to see
a centaur outside their lands! First time for me!.. So, farewell my friend.. maybe
I'll join you tonight.."
he says shaking Miraki's hand.

Johen runs after Aohdan and says to him in Sylvan: "Hey friend, excuse me!.. Yes you...
Sorry to bother you.. my name is Johen.. I.. I am a druid from the High Forest in Turen."


"I have heard of your species but never met one of you even in High Forest, and now here,
in front of the Azgundi capital, I have the privilege to meet you! May Dame Nature be
thanked for this good omen. May She look after you and those who are dear to you.."

he concludes bowing slightly in front of Aohdan which is when he notices the dwarf near him
to whom he simply smiles.
 

Don't touch a dwarfs stuff if you want to keep your head where it is they say, and the angry look Muzdum put over the guard confirm the fact.
"Whoa lot' o' words tha' Ah don't understand Ha ha ha! Who ya' be mate?" ask the dwarf, after retriving his backpack.
 

Valen jumps down from the cart, and looks up at his benefactor.
"I mean to keep my word, friend. But there is a man coming through this gate that I must speak to, as I have followed him for many long miles. If you cannot wait a few minutes for me, I will gladly give you not one, but five pieces of silver."
The tall, cloaked man then fixes his piercing blue eyes on the foreigner's gate, looking for a man with a hawk.

The hunt may be drawing to a close...
 

William looks aroung, somewaht flustered "Well I say.. That's a lot happening at once. Suddenly, the lady we've been following does seem a bit bland in comparison. That halfling... the elf.. and a Centaur? What do I do NOW?" he sighs, clearly confused as he glances down at Estelle. "My apologies, M'lady, but do you have any ideas?"
 

Muzdum...

The guard is polite but stern, "Apologies good dwarf, but since the war, we've had to protect ourselves from spies and ne'er-do-wells. This will only take a moment." The guard takes a peak through Muzdum's belongings and then ushers him through.

Valen...

The wine barrel wagon driver peers at Valen for a moment, "You come by the Adventurers' Guild compound, just outside the rear delivery gate in about two hours. This wine is for the Guild tavern. You do that and maybe I'll buy you a drink some time."
 

Hearing William's exclamations, Estelle stares at all the happenings. In regard to his question, she merely points at a cloaked man leaping from a wine cart intent on something, "Watch."
 

"Thank you, friend. I shall be there."

The tall man in the forest green cloak sighed gratefully as he continued to study the travelers coming through the gate.

By the Huntress, I hope the man is willing to talk.

Valen knew that a confrontation in front of so many onlookers would lead to no good.
 

"Ummm..." said Aohdan, not sure how to deal with his sudden celebrity. "Hi!" He figured that was the best way to put it. He extended his hand and prepaired for the shake he now expected. "I'd imagine your kind are not often for the cities either. And, thank you for the blessing."
