The Four Lands - The Great North

[J. Alexander]

The Cove

The Party begins preparations just at the sun breaks free of the overcast sky and begins to shine warmly on the area. As if in response to the sun, those watching the camp see the young man exit the tent and head towards the water where he can be seen gathering buckets of sea water and taking them back into the tent

 

[Canaan]

Jaroth

Jaroth calls out to the boy. "You must be quite resourceful to have managed to travel such a distance from the wreckage." Jaroth smiles at the boy.

"Do you find comfort in the sight of friendly familiar faces, boy?"

The Cove

Startled by Jaroth's sudden appearance and his tone of voice, the boy drops the bucket he is carrying. Turning to face Jaroth he says in a guarded manner "One should make the best of a bad situation"

 

[Rhun]

Vadric moves toward the man, his sword still sheathed, and his hand held to his side in an unthreatening manner. "Now tell us...why are you truly here? And no lies now."

 

[Scotley]

Bertrand

Bertrand hangs back watching for trouble. He leaves his weapons where they are for now and tries to look non-threatening.

Jaroth

Jaroth adds to Vadric's words. "And be quick about it, a storm gathers as we speak."

The Cove

In response to the challenge and implied threats the boy ironically seems to relax as is he is more accomstumed to bullying, threats and abuse. Softly he says "Put your sword away Knight, there may be many of you but which one of you is willing to die the true death so the others can slay me"

 

[Canaan]

Jaroth

"You misunderstand the urgency of our tone. No swords are drawn, young man. Enemies gather as we speak. They will be upon us if we do not hurry. You keep many secrets. If you wish to survive this day, I fear you will have to disclose them. That is not a threat, but a fact. None here wish you harm." Jaroth tries to judge the affect of his words on teh boy, then continues.

"You carry a book that you received from Calon the Bookseller. It is sought by those who harry you. They are responsiible for the wreckage of the ship. I do not intend to allow that book to fall into their hands. But what is your intent?"

 

[Rhun]

Vadric moves toward the man, his sword still sheathed

"My blade is not drawn, boy," says Vadric. "If it were, it is likely you would be dead already." The knight nods his head toward Jaroth. "My companion speaks the truth. We mean you no harm, but you draw powerful forces of Darkness down upon you. They will be here soon."

The Cove

With and intensity and insight that stuns and rocks both Anniston and Vadric and leave Jaroth feeling a distinct chill the boy replies "Bold words from a Knight and Priest who themselves consort with powers their own church condems and have declared anathamea by using their own feelings rather than being true and faithful servants and follwing the path" Then pausing he continues "Enough of that though we each have our on reasons for doing things be they for good or ill, you may enter and discuss these issues with me if you so wish" at which point he quickly steps into the confines of the tent.
