The Four Lands - The Great North Part 2

[J. Alexander]

Journey

The priest enters to find the tent remarkable clean with the scent of fresh baked bread coming from the oven......deSion, who is sitting in a chair his shirt slighltyunlaced with a small red streak along the lower left rib area says "Yes please tell everyone they are more than welcome, I am sorry I was remiss and did not think of it when i retired."

 

[Rath Lorien]

"Thank you. I will extend your invitation to the others." Anniston nods politely and steps out of the tent to offer DeSion's invitation to the rest of the party.

When Anniston returns with his pack he asks DeSion, "When you were unconscious we were all gathered in the tent. As we were sleeping that night it teleported itself, along with all of us inside, to the cove. I'm just curious, did you cause that to happen, or did the tent do that on its own? I find it curious that the tent did this, especially since the book was inside the tent and I understand that the book causes all trans-dimensional travel to be thwarted or redirected according to its will. Or perhaps the book did it?"

 

[Scotley]

Bertrand

After making sure his people and animals are properly settled in, Bertrand moves to the tent. "Thank you for your hospitality," he says to his host. "So what do you make of our traveling companions? They seem to have decided not to slay us out of hand, but have they truly accepted us? Taking us to their meeting place is an interesting step."

 

[Canaan]

Jaroth

Jaroth enters the tent, overhearing the last of Anniston's comments. "My money is on the cat." Jaroth smiles slightly, injecting levity into the group assembled in the tent.

 

[Rath Lorien]

Anniston breaks into a hearty laugh, the accumulated grime of many miles creasing around his mouth. "Maybe so, Jaroth, maybe so"

"Aye, Bertrand, we find ourselves in quite a boiling pot. At least for a time we are among folk who can defend themselves against the Drakkar and are of a mind to fight. For that I am grateful regardless of what come. Sometimes a common enemy makes for strange bedfellows. In any case they have shown their worth on the field of battle so perhaps it is best not to judge them too soon." With this last statement Anniston levels a measured gaze at DeSion.

 

[Scotley]

Bertrand

With a laugh of his own at Jaroth's comment he replies to Anniston, "Yes, they do seem to have remarkable power at their disposal and I suspect we own them much."

 

[Dracomeander]

Finnian takes time to see everyone settled and chats a bit with their guides about what to expect of the trip in the way of terrain and climate.

Then he retires to the tent to unwind and take his rest.

 

[Rhun]

Vadric sleeps as restfully as possible, knowing that he needs his sleep in order to restore his ability to channel the power of the Light into the blessings that he will undoubtedly need again only too soon.

Journey

Seated in his chair next to a warming brazier, deSion begins to anwers somewhat the polite interrogation.

"The tent has a protective feature in that it will transport itself to a shelterd location when storms are coming then back again to it's orginal location after the it is over, I would imagine the cove was the most secure area from the storm" he says to anniston. Then smiling at Jaroth's quip he says "well of course their is always that Nightshade has always had a particualr sense of humor"

When Bertran enters and joins the conversation he says "The plainsmen lead a hard and combative life, that they have stopped their feud and allowed us to travel with them can only mean great danger is afoot and something has spooked them terribley"

Finnian learns that they will have roughly two weeks of hard riding like today before they reach their goal.

 

[Rath Lorien]

"Well, first thing's first. DeSion, as I recall there is a bath in the next room. May I?"

Assuming DeSion gives his approval, Anniston will retire to the next room, remove his armor and wash the armor, himself and his underclothes. He will then put on a clean undertunic, put his armor back on, change the appearance of the armor to pilgrim's robes, and return the front room where he will lay out a pallet for himself and turn in for the night.
