The Four Lands - Southern Operatives

Nijel Bladesong, Paladin -- Leif

Rhun said:
"We should move out," he says to the others. "The horses should be enough rested by now, and the homestead has been fired. Let us leave before our foemen catch us."
"Praise the Light! Let's keep those younglings well behind our main body, we don't want misfortune to befall the innocent," says Njel, and, with that, he will press onward.

Katherine Brightlaw - Rogue/Sorceror - Mowgli

Katherine feels a surge of maternal instincts as she sees the knights emerging with the children. She recalls happier days in her parents' home, surrounded by the chaos and cacophany of younglings at play.

That's why we do what we do, I suppose - so those who can't won't have to. And because we live, and it's right to give others the chance to experience as much of life as they can as well . . .

With those thoughts, she mounts Caoimhe and takes her place with her comrades in arms.

Time to go live some more!
 

Neurotic - Andor A. de Andrade - Priest of Pelor

"Here, take the boy, he is healed and should be able to keep himself with you in saddle." Andor carries the boy to Padraig and then turns to Ewan. "Give me the baby, I'll keep it safe. You're too exposed to carry it. Before I died I had plenty of siblings and cousins around and can manage a baby for some time. Still, it would be prudent to find a women who can nurse it." Taking the baby in its bundle he improvises sling from his cloak and nests the child inside.

OOC: Living and traveling with gypsy caravan tends to be close extended family affair, Usualy there is lots of children around of all ages with older taking care of younger ones. Andor had his share of caring for both infants and small children before his "death".

OOC2: What's happening with this thread? I don't get notifications of updating (that's why I haven't posted on homestead :( )
 


Dracomeander - Ewan Driscoll - Scout/Ranger

Ewan hands the babe to Andor then takes a last look around the cellar for anything useful. Once satisfied that they aren't leaving anything portable the boy could want or that would be useful to the group, Ewan climbs back up and moves the stone back over the opening. Once hidden, Ewan uses his skills to hide the evidence of their presence near the boulder. Then leaves tracks similar to the other search and fire traces around the homestead.

"Eventually we're going to want to retake these lands. This will make a good cache point as long as it doesn't get discovered by the enemy."

Ewan then mounts up and leads the group onward.
 

Cairwalker again mounts Halcyon and prepares to move out. He nods to the company's scout. "Ewan, my friend, you have point. Take us to the Lord Marshall."
 

Nijel Bladesong, Paladin of Light - Leif

Nijel will fall back into his position immediately to Cairnwalker's left, and he gives a knowing wink to brother Aidan. ("Damn and blast! Is it proper for a Warlock to know a Paladin so bloody well, even if they are brothers?")
 

Swinging into his saddle, Aidan takes up position outside Andor, knowing he won't be able to fight effectively while carrying the child.
 

Grateful to see the rest of the cadre mounting up at last, Padraig guides Asgell around the formation to take a well-defended postion in the middle. He then hoists the boy onto Asgell's back with Andor's help, determined to protect the lad, no matter what should stand between them and safety. I see you've picked up a hatchling, my friend. The Light smiles on those who help the weak and innocent. I will stand between the child and the darkness.

Current aura: Senses--+2 to spot, listen, search and initiative

To Padraig:
Can your powers be used to protect the children directly? I haven't much of defensive spells, I prayed for travel and occasional parlay with our people, not combat. And I cannot change the selection before next sunrise, assuming we get to rest between now and then.

To teen (if he woke up):
What's your name young man? You showed incredible courage there at the farm. It takes a man, and great man at that, to fight when everything screams "give up" at you.Hang on, the pain passes and you have your sister to think of.

Waiting for answer and then:
We'll drop you in the city at the temple of Pelor. Priests will take care of you until you find a place to be. We must ride swiftly. Do you have relatives somewhere?
