The Four Lands - The Great North Part 2

Journey

For Jaroth
[sblock]"What the order wants and what is possible are at great odds. Ideally we should just take the book and deal with it but that would not be fair or right. The book rightly belongs to your party and while we have a claim to it thru you, we can not just take it" then pausing for breath she says "So we must help the Church in this matter and we are trying to formulate how we can best do it"[/sblock]

Jaroth

[sblock=For DM] Relieved that Lady Vera has taken the diplomatic route, Jaroth states: Some wish to redeem the spirit within the book. Others wish to return it to the place from which it was taken. Jaroth pauses and looks at DeSion.

He continues then, I do not believe it right to return it to the Church. I do not think anyplace is safe for it. But I am committed to keeping it out of the hands of the Drakar. And the book will not let itself be destroyed. I think, therefore, that the only choice is to attempt to redeem the spirit within and release it from the confines of the book.

But the Drakar will dog our every move. And I fear that I do not have the power to stop them forever. This is a risk I am willing to take, if the others agree. Do any of you have any idea where we could seek information about what is required to redeem the spirit within and release it from the confines of the Book? [/sblock]

Journey

For Jaroth
[sblock]"The spirit can not really be redeemed" deSion says then contniues "It is a matter of it looking once again at things in a more neutral prespective as the book reflects the belifies and attitudes of those how have owned it or controlled it"[/sblock]

Jaroth

[sblock=For DM] Jaroth looks at DeSion. Is that not redemption? I am not a servant of The Light. I am no Priest, no Knight. I serve no king, no country. I can think of no greater form of redemption than the ability to look at a problem or situation from all angles, without preconception to determine right from wrong, good from evil, and then act according to what manifests a balance in both. If this is the redemption the Book can accept, I am up to that task. [/sblock]

 

[J. Alexander]

Setting about getting the castaways ready, the time quickly passes and one of the look out calls down "I think their ready, they are all formed up"


For Jaroth
[sblock]I disagree but there is no time for that type of debate" deSion comments..."Lets just say I hope the book can be brought to a more balanced prespective"[/sblock]

 

[Scotley]

Bertrand

Bertrand checks to make sure the group is ready to travel. He'll get on his own horse and be ready to move when the time comes.

 

[Dracomeander]

Finnian moves among the survivors giving aid and encouragment everywhere he can. He will assist Bertrand in seeing everyone matched with a mount that is within their capabilities. At the call, Finnian will lead hwichever horse he ends up with to the front to take his position as mediator and diplomat between the survivors and the tribesmen.

 

[Rath Lorien]

Anniston is mount on his warhorse, armor blazing in the sun (or is it night time?!?). He occasionally will glance over his shoulder at the tent where Jaroth went with an unruffled look on his face.

 

[Neurotic]

Vorian Tolgar

Vorian will wait for others, neither helping the refugees nor hindering them. Exception will be children or very young adults to whom he will offer ride on Delilah.

He will aid Finnian in negotiations with his diplomatic training.

Journey

Just thirty minutes after the appointed tiime the party begins to assemble. The plainsmen are waiting for them. The mounted horsemen are in one colume while the infantry are in a seperate colume. Some 100 yards in front of the infantry and to either side is a large bonfire that has yet to be lit.
