The Four Lands - Southern Operatives

[Leif]

Nijel Bladesong, 44/49hp AC20

"Begging your pardon, Good Sir, I didn't mean to alarm you. I fear that I don't look my most presentable at the moment. We've had some hard fighting for the king in recent days...." Embarassed beyond belief, Nijel's voice just trails off to silence as he mentally pleads for someone to rescue him from his social predicament.

 

[Neurotic]

Andor

Be at piece, goodman. We are here to warn you not to do harm. If you could spare a moment to provide us and these children with some food, we would be very grateful. I am Andor Anade de Andrade, initiate of Light and I call blessings of the Sun upon the inhabitants of this house. Andor shortly passes into singsong voice of familiar prayer before he catches himself.

Ahm, yes. Please hurry, we are in great danger...

Nijel Bladesong 44/49hp, AC 20

When Andor comes to his rescue and finishes his "prayer", Nijel grins broadly at him, claps him on the shoulder, and says, "Thank you, Father Andor!"

 

[Pyrex]

Having hitched his horse, Aidan joins the conversation "We hate to be the bearer of ill tidings; but we'll do what we can to help you pack your things and escape safely."

 

[Dracomeander]

Ewan Driscoll - Scout/Ranger

Ewan ties the horses off and joins the others.

"Yes. We still have time for breakfast, but then we will have to get your families together and onto your wagons to leave here. Our forces are not enough to keep the raiders from reaching here before we can bring them to battle.

"You have approximately 10 adults living here. How many kids do we need to round up and account for? I make it to be another 10. We will need to pack quickly and not send the young ones out with the animals."

 

[Scotley]

Alban

Alban covers the abrupt ending of Andor's blessing with the Light's equivelent of 'amen'. Then he adds, "You will need to prepare to depart in haste. Take what you can move quickly with and prepare to destroy anything else lest it fall into the hands of the Orcs."

 

[Leif]

OOC: My suggestion for the "Light's equivalent of 'Amen.' " How about:

"Let All the Sunshine In" -- nahhh, too 'dishwasher-detergent-commerciall-y'

"In the Sunshine of Your Love -- nahhh, too Eric-Clapton-y

"By the Light of the Silvery Moon" -- nahhh, just too hokey

for real now: How about:
"May the stars shine upon you." Sound okay??

 

[Scotley]

OOC: I was thinking more like "you are my sunshine, my only sunshine..."

Or perhaps, "you light up my life..."

 

[Neurotic]

OOC Andor

Well, he did finish his prayer for the inhabitants, he just arrested his momentum not to do a sermon Just to save Nijel from embarasment...

As for amen (meaning truth, divine truth or simply agreement (from Hebrew aman)) how about:
Luxor (0ccultism): A compound word from lux (light) and aur (fire), thus meaning the "Light of (divine) Fire."

Thanks Google

OOC: 'Luxor' definately has the historical and etymological merit, but can you dance to it?

Forgive me, it has been a very long week and the impending weekend has me a little giddy.
