The Four Lands - The Great North

[Canaan]

Jaroth

Jaroth listens to Vadric and considers his words.

"The Light is clearly strong with you, Vadric. For that, I am grateful. You need not fear the tent disappearing before DeSion is well enough for us to speak with him."

Looking at the tom cat, Jaroth continues.

"And you needn't worry about him leaving without saying goodbye, I suspect."

Jaroth unconsciously pats his satchel as he continues.

"May we speak outside?"

 

[Rhun]

Vadric nods and stands. "Of course," he says, motioning Jaroth to lead the way/

 

[Canaan]

Jaroth

Once outside and away from the tent, Jaroth will converse with Vadric, keeping an eye on the tent for the presence of the tom cat. He will not speak, if he sees the tom cat exit the tent.

"Vadric, what do you think of the boy based on what we have observed thus far?"

[sblock=For DM] I'm a bit confused. Did the Drakaran we initially fought in the tent take the appearance of the boy? And is this the boy that had the strange aura on the ship? [/sblock]

 

[Neurotic]

Vorian

OOC: it's good to be out, though I don't like the idea of killing for sport. So, I'm glad you didn't shoot anything and enjoyed it just the same

Parting words to anyone of the party in vicinity
"You might consider sending one of your own, maybe Finnian, to try and speak with infantry men. If nothing else it might slow them down a little bit, throw them off timely arrival in case they are intending on attacking at the same time."

Vorian will confront party of riders from height that will give him some cover. He will cast Sanctuary and then Resist elements (lightning) if things go poorly. Arrwuh will scan the party for evil characters and counterspell eventual hostile spell. I count on Delilah's move of 80' to get me out of range while in cover of hill. If needed she will cast fog cloud to obscure us.

Thus prepared, Vorian rides with his lance up and Tolgar family standard flying. Arrwuh stays out of sight Move Silently 20, Hide 13

"Ho, riders! I am Vorian Tolgar of Oldoak, knight defender of these lands. Stop and state your identity and business here or face the wrath of Oldoak."

[Rhun]

"Vadric, what do you think of the boy based on what we have observed thus far?"

"I think the boy has been contact with dark and fell powers. Whether he is truly evil or was simply overcome by these powers, I don't know. There has been an oddness about him since we first met him, and each encounter with him only brings more questions."

 

[Dracomeander]

Kellson looks around at the assembled men gathering arms and states rather bluntly to Finnian, "I take it this was not a ship of marines you were on? A shame."

"There was a small contingent of marines aboard, but the ship was mostly converted for passenger use. Even so, the terrain here gives us a good defensible position and determination counts for much. After surviving being thrown into storm tossed seas, I doubt any of these folk will just fold up and let an enemy have his way.

"Besides, we don't even known yet whether those who approach are enemies. Being prepared for trouble does not mean we wish to invite it along."

 

[Rath Lorien]

Anniston watches the advancing forces, looking for any sign that they are preparing to attack. He will use his leadership to bolster the bravery of the shipmates.

Jaroth

"I think the boy has been contact with dark and fell powers. Whether he is truly evil or was simply overcome by these powers, I don't know. There has been an oddness about him since we first met him, and each encounter with him only brings more questions."

Jaroth considers Vadric's words and nods.

"I concur. He is clearly a wielder of arcane powers. He purchased the book. I suspect he tried to read it. It's aura is very dark and the tome itself seems malevolent. Even though I might gain some insight into this situation by perusing the book, I wouldn't dare. It's mere touch was enough to nearly overwhelm me. I couldn't imagine anyone except an exceptionally powerful wielder of the arcane or a malevolent adherent to the dark even attempting to read it."

He pauses for a moment.

"All I can tell you is that we are still in grave danger. But help will arrive at sunset."

 

[Scotley]

Bertrand

"Perpare for the worst and hope for the best. If these fellows offer us a ride to the nearest trade road and some food and protection then maybe our defensive posture will look a little silly, but if they are after the book or just trouble, I'd rather be prepared."

 

[J. Alexander]

The Hillock

As the party sees to the defense's/ Vorian rides to meet the mounted horseman. When he gets whith 250 yards of them the party see's him thrown from his saddle.


For Vorian
[sblock]Riding to meet the group, Vorian is staggered as several, perhaps as many as 6, darts of air hit him in the chest in legs. Roll a ref save dc 15 please)[/sblock]
