The Four Lands - The Great North

[Canaan]

Jaroth

Jaroth whispers to the others: "The Order Drakar cloak themselves in deception and lies. It gives them strength. Only the truth of the Light can banish their darkness. He tries to sow dissent and uncertainty. A favored tactic of the Order Drakar. I suspect our fears are justified. Be wary."

He looks back then. "We don't have much time."

 

[Rhun]

Vadric's gaze hardens, as he begins to realize that once again things may only be solved through force of arms. As a priest, this leaves him feeling somewhat saddened about the state of the world as a whole. As a knight, he realizes that only through strength of arms can the world be made a better place. He turns to regard Jaroth, whispering to his companions. "Give the word, Jaroth, and I shall use whatever means necessary to subdue the boy. If you have another idea, then please, let us know what it is."

 

[Rath Lorien]

Anniston calmly follows the young man into his tent. Like any good lawyer, he does not appear at all disturbed by the personal attack.

[OOC: I am leaving for Colorado this afternoon, back Aug 13th. I'll try to check the board during my travels, but no guaruntees. Anniston is happy to parley with the wizard, but he is ready to throw down as soon as the party feels it is necessary.]

Bertrand

Getting his bow out, Bertrand says, "go on and see what you can find out. I'll keep a watch out here."

Jaroth

Jaroth nods to Vadric. "I am at a loss. We must use our skills and prayers to determine the allegiance of this boy. Ferret truth from lies."

Jaroth follows Anniston into the tent. "You have shielded the book's presence. But that will not stop them. They are closing on this position. Do you know who seeks you out?"

[ooc: Jaroth has his innate ability to detect magic active. He will try to sense motive on the boy. Sense Motive Result = 19 ]

Vadric follows Jaroth, stepping to the side just inside the door of the tent. He positions himself so that he can keep an eye on things outside, as well as what is being said within the tent.

 

[Dracomeander]

Finnian watches the boy's responses. When the boy indicates to continue the conversation in the tent, Finnian picks up the bucket, refills it, then follows the others inside.

Gee, have an emergency at the theatre and miss one day online and nearly a page of posts go by.

Just and advance warning, I will be leaving on vacation the 17th of August and will not have net access until I return on Sept 4th.[/sblock]

The Cove

Stepping into the tent the party is shocked to discover that instead of the pavillion indicated on the outside they infact enter a room some 20X30 feet with two distinct opening in each of the three other tent sides, which are covered by heavy tapestries. Boots make a heavy thumping as they strike a highly polisehd wooden floor. Towards the back of the room a long table with 10 chairs run the width of the room. Seperating the table from the front ot the tent are two 5 foot low sideboards seperated by 4 foot potted plant. The forward part of the tent is dominated by three low couches in the shape of a U with a low small table in front of each couch. A sideboard is located bewteen each of the tapestry panels on each wall. The boy is standing next to the sideboard to the left of the doorway pouring himself something from a pitcher which he quickly drinks and replaces on a tray which he picks up and carries to the table in front of the couch directly in front of the entryway. "Please feel free to help yourself" indicating the pitcher. Then taking a cup from the tray he moves to the sofa and sits.

Jaroth

Jaroth is shocked at the magnitude of the power exhibited here. He betrays his shock with an open jaw, which he quickly closes. After a moment, Jaroth does as bidden to do. Clearly, he will not be able to fight himself out of this, so he does what he came here to do; that is parlay with this person of questionable status.

After taking a sip, he looks at the boy. "You have not yet answered my question."

 

[Rhun]

Vadric stands vigilantly near the door. The amount of magic displayed here was unsettling, and the knight-priest wasn't quite sure how he should respond to it. Deciding to remain quiet for the moment, he lets Jaroth handle the parlay.
