Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gregor" data-source="post: 5585180" data-attributes="member: 11751">Sir Delphin, who has held an intensely focused set of eyes on each member of the party leans in and adds: "My Baron, for what it is worth, I detect no evil from any of the adventurers."Lady Bronwyn nods and says: "Additionally, travelling with a Ragesian should hardly be cause for indictment.  Hundreds if not thousands of refugees from that nation are migrating across Dassen and head south in search of Seaquen and the Lyceum."  The Baron nods and rubs his bearded chin.  "Hmmmm, those are fair reasons and I see no reason to detain you on your travels.  The advice for reinforcements is prudent as well.  Of course a message will..."Sirs Edwin and Belwick stand up violently, interrupting the Baron by knocking over tankards and causing a scene. "This is foolish!" cries Edwin, "With all due respect, we have allowed Ragesians to move throughout our nation with impunity since Leska declared war on Gate Pass and everyone else on her borders.  How many of these 'refugees' are innocent and how many are agents waiting to assist their invading armies from behind enemy lines?  Now an armed band arrives with a magical tale about fire fairies.  Pfft, that forest has burned for 40 years and we have enjoyed security on this border.  Now its gone and these mercenaries come stumbling into town..."The Baron slams his hand down on the table and shouts. "Enough Sir Edwin!  When last I looked this was still my keep and my district.  If you cannot swallow my decisions, then you and Sir Belwick can leave and I will deal with the both of you at a later date."The two chastised knights exchange glances and then storm out of the conference room.  Before he slams the door behind him, Sir Belwick says: "These short sighted actions will mean the end of the Kingdom one day."The Baron turns to the party with a frustrated look and says: "I apologize for that, but my knights are frustrated by current events.  As I was saying, I see no reason to detain you.  You may feel free to stay here at the Keep tonight as my guests.  Quarters and meals will be made available to you.  Please be aware that a message will be sent to Lady Timor to inform her of these events.  As Lady of the realm it is her information to have.  Is there anything else Thomas?"The wizard finishes scribing words on a parchment and says: "I would suggest that the party leave an object in my possession.  It need not be valuable or important: a lock of hair, a dagger or piece of clothing.  The Lady will want to know that we can find these individuals should anything take place on their journey that may alter the story they have told here today.  By having one of their possessions, I may be able to 'scry' them more effectively.""I agree.  Make it so." Says the Baron.  "Now, are there any questions you have of me and my council?"</blockquote>
