The Four Lands - Southern Operatives

[Redclaw]

It seems that we are in time to make a difference at this homestead, the Dragon Saint having guided us throug the night. We must get these 'steaders moving for safety, although I doubt that they will appreciate the news. Padraig also stays mounted, waiting for someone else to round up the civilians.

aura--senses--+2 to spot, listen, search and initiative.

Alban

A smile crosses Alban's face at the sight of the compound. He utters a pray of thanks for their safe delivery through the night. He sits tall in the saddle with the light from his holy symbol blazing forth as they approach the compound.

"The children need rest as well - though they slept in the saddle as we rode, that's no substitute for real rest and good food. Hopefully there'll be someone here willing to take them in. A life of adventure in the service is a grand thing indeed, but should be started with a bit more experience under one's belt than these younglings have."

Andor

We could go on, but I doubt children would hold for much longer. And horses need rest too. We should take a nap of hour or two before continuing. Otherwise, just warn the inhabitants,buy some food and let's continue, we cannot escort them anyhow.

Nijel Bladesong, 44/49hp, AC20

Getting no answer to his knock, Nijel knocks again, LOUDER, shaking the very walls of the building.

"We should leave the children with this family," says Cairnwalker, dismounting his horse. "They would be better off with them than riding with a company of the King's operatives."

Alban

Alban listens to the others and replies in a grim tone. "I think we'll see more blood before this is done. If we can safely give the children to these people we should try, but if they have more than they can manage, we may be forced to provide a little longer. We should try to buy some food. Our orders are to destroy anything left behind."

Ewan Driscoll - Scout/Ranger AC 16, HP 39 / 39

Ewan dismounts as he looks around trying to judge how many call this place home. He takes charge of the horses looking for feed and water while the others try to rouse the inhabitants.

To the Lord Marshall

At Roak's bellow, the door to two of the houses open and two middle aged farmers appear in the doorway just as Nijel opens one of the doors. Seeing the grimed armored figure in front of thim the man steps back from the door and lets out a cry. The rest of the party begins to assemble in front of the hitching posts and water troughs as Ewan dismoouts and begins to study the area. The other farmer in the doorways says "And how can we be of service to the King this morning"

[sblock]From the looks of it you would say three familes perhaps 9 or so adults, ten childern and a small amount of livestock[/sblock]

 

[Rhun]

Roak approaches the farmer and removes his helm. "I am Sir Roak Adari. We have ridden through the night, and require food and drink, if you can spare it. Orcs and ogiers wander freely this area. Your homesteads are in danger, as are your very lives." The knight frowns. "I'm afraid you must flee."
