Listening and remaining silent with some difficulty the expressions pass on his face, excitement, disbelief, shock and finally a stunned look. At a couple of points he seems on the edge of interrupting, but at the end of the tale he says nothing but only considers.
OOC: [sblock=DM]Does the story match what Bertrand knows based on the knowledge checks above?[/sblock]

[sblock]You are familar with the fact that when the Light was incorporated and then the Knights of the Light there were many orders around....some died out, some merged, some were declared heretica and some just dwindled over time...so it is possible..based upon your knowlede[/sblock]
Bertrand
[sblock]While possible..Bertrand is for sure that given his knowledge of church history..suck interaction with elves and dwarves would put the knigts in sever disfaovr of the church and would lead to banishment or worse..[/sblock]

Anniston smiles gently. "Thank you, Vorian. You introduced Arrwuh before, but it has been a long journey. Perhaps you can refresh us on the details again. Exactly what sort of creature is Arrwuh and how did he come to travel with you?"
OOC: question for the DM: My impression is that Arrwuh is an intelligent (extra-plannar?) creature of some sort. Is Anniston aware if the church has any sort of regular contact with creatures like this? Are there any sentient non-humans that the church acknowledges as acceptable? Angels? anything?

I plan on living forever. Or die trying.
Arrwuh Sunshadow
I am a Night Prowler, sometimes we are called Black Hounds, and it is often we are mistaken for creatures of baneful origin, when, in fact, we protect mankind and seek out evil predators to slay in the night. Our roots are on the plane of Elysium.
I came from Elysium when called to judge and cleanse young man that was guilty of association with fey. Since he showed no taint and association was involuntary he is deemed clean. Upon talking with him for some time and seeing his willingness to revenge his mentor, but at the same time gentle nature I feared he might stray from the path of Light in his quest for vengeance. I followed him and helped him where I could while assuring that he stays on path of Good.
Turning to Vorian
Sorry for this, Vorian, I never told you all reasons I followed you. Reasons I gave you were true ones, just not all of them. Regardless of such calculated start, I really am your friend. My observation showed me that you are dedicated to the Light and I have very little doubt you'd stay on the right path. Now, I'm here only to help vanquish evil.
To repeat description again:
Moon dogs resemble large wolfhounds. Their heads are slightly human in appearance and the creature’s forepaws are prehensile; the creature is quite capable of bipedal locomotion. Coloration is mottled dark gray with deep black predominating. Eye color is amber.

Vorian Tolgar
OOC: Just to add something to Vorian's story:
When Justin Oldoak died and Vorian showed up later he was given a deed to small borderland keep of Oldoaks. He never visited, but it is there along with small following of faithful men.
At Arrwuh's words, Vorian frowns, turning slightly as if to go. Then he straightens and responds:
Arrwuh, I wouldn't be so sure I'd stay on the right path. If not for you, I'd be all alone on this search and hopelessness and desperation are not good traveling companions. I might be tempted in time to ever less noble methods to find out where the killer went. I'd like to believe that I wouldn't succumb to such temptation, but I nor anyone cannot be sure until I tried.

[sblock]The church as a general rule would consider it to be heretical..only those involved with the ancient druids and or who have made agreements with evil forces (magic) have familars.........the church does belive in guardian angles/spirits and in the broadest context this could be seen as one..but you would have to really argue the position in an ecclestical court

[sblock]That would be the position of about 80 perecent of the Church add in another 15 percent undecided and the remaing 5 percent with a somewhat open mind....The smaller orders and fringe orders are not really favored by the Church but if they have the blessing of the local bishop and authorities then they are tolerated within reason...You are not familar with the order per se but you do know that many orders were banished, exiled or even destroyed long ago over reasons of dogma....and besides you are consorting with another KNOWN HERETIC....a druid .....and in the imortal words of rickey ricardo..you gonna have lots of SPLANNING to do when you get back[/sblock]

Vadric listens to Vorian's story, his pleasant features completely devoid of emotion. You cannot even be sure if he is even hearing the words being spoken. Finally, the Knight of the Light speaks, his voice low. "Please excuse me, but I need some time to think on your words." He offers the gathered companions a slight bow, and then walks away from the group.
