[QUOTE="Campbell, post: 6211984, member: 16586"] As Lucann emerges from a great tall oak steps away from the the grand spiral staircase he is lost in thought. His mind turns to how he discovered this bastion of the natural world while spying on the humans going into the castle. He had not found many of the answers he sought in the city and what he had found was not very pleasing. From atop this great oak, Lucann could see a nearby forest. Perhaps there he would be able to find answers. He doubted there would be any wood elves to be found in the forest, but perhaps he could seek out answers from his reclusive kin that still resided in the forest within the forest. Once within the old forest Lucann sought out signs of faerie rings, knowing his path back to the spiral staircase would not be overly long.

What those tidings are still needs to be discovered. Lucann is unable to discern the nature of the one whose footsteps he follows. This troubles him, but the urgency of the task before him takes precedence. Noticing the sentinels before him, Lucann ritually places his spear to the ground blade end up. This indicates that he does not wish to engage in hostilities, but will defend himself if tested or challenged. He ensures that the chain of three silver leaves attached to his spear are plainly visible as is his necklace indicating the same. "Brethren, I come to you as an emissary of She Who Walks the Woods of the World. As the old accords were written She promised to watch over the world beyond and it is in accordance with this duty I invoke the meeting of cousins*, as is my right. I do not do so lightly. A great host amasses to take the human city and in their path lies the ties that bind us together." As he speaks Lucann takes stock of the sentries to discern what they are truly guarding from. Initial Perception: [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4290632/]1d20+16=21[/url] Religion to invoke the meeting of cousins and to leverage Lucann's position as a priest of Sehanine:[url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4290642/]1d20+15=34[/url] Insight to take stock of the Eladrin Sentries: [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4290643/]1d20+21=28[/url] Note: The meeting of cousins occurs between one priest of Sehanine and another of Corellan to ensure the accords are kept as they should be. If asked to come meet with someone else Lucann will do so, but insists on keeping his spear as it is an artifact of his order. If attacked Lucann will bring his spear to bear against the apparent leader, declaring him his Oath of Enmity Target and invoking Bound By Fate. If it must come to blows Lucann wants it to be a test of mettle between two worthy opponents. He is not trying to kill a fellow child of the forest.
