The Four Lands - The Great North

[Dracomeander]

Finnian Douglas

"This does not sound like a situation anyone is prepared to deal with. Would the students and masters of Kell be enough assistance to stem this rising tide of evil?"

 

[Rhun]

Vadric too remains silent, inwardly doubtful of the elf's story. 150 years? Too long for some word of the growing evil not to have reached the Church.

"Yes as of some 150 years ago they were just beginning to amass the numbers and learning to be terribly effective. As for the powers of the Sorceorors of Kell, while they are mighty and extremly powerful in depth they lack the breadth of might or the ability to counter the more sosphicated spells that can be brought to bear by their opponets." Silverwood pauses for a moment and continues."As of 50 years ago, they begin to make alliances with the various giant and demi human tribes of the Northlands and lauched a war of subgation upon the human nomades of the region. Having consolidated their power thru out most of the central Northlands they aer now moving to secure their flanks before launching their attack soutward. Preparing for this war, the Drakar have lauched a program of acquistion to find and retrive either thru theft, murder or outright purchase times the Dorlons left in the Southlands so as to strengthen their power"

"So what of the lad to whom this tent seems to belong, DeSion. Was he acting as agent to aquire the book as part of their plan? Or is he more important than that even. "

To casual inspection it appears that Anniston is listening without emotion. But a closer look reveals that questions and comments are swirling just beneath the surface. His lips are pressed together to maintain his silence, giving the elf more time to reveal what he has come to say without interruption.

 

[Dracomeander]

Finnian sips the coffee and commits the elf's words to memory.

"It seems you have had a chance to study this foe. Do you know of a way that we can determine what the Dorlons left behind? Can we acquire these things before the enemy? If our forces are not prepared for the coming conflict, then that seems to be the way to work toward delaying the enemy until our forces are prepared."

Meetings

Silverwood begins to answer the party as they ask their questions "The Drakar have been studied by many people and many races for generations" he replies "Often at great risk and sacrafice"..........pausing as if thinking he contiunes "One would need to know where they were hidden or stored and our best guess would be in the Dorlon's ancient strongholds, or among ancient familes and most certainly within the church vaults long forgotten" In turn he asnwers Bertrand's question "I know nothing of the lad except what you have told...but i can surmise that he is versed in the arcane arts and is shielded by either his own power or by an item or items....he is not evil, yet he is not good........a perplexing question indeed."

"We have long suspected that the Drakkar were on this hunt but had little or no hard evidence....they have been using shadwo assians to strike down individual who they suspect can readily oppose them with either arcane or divine magic..as well as sowing seeds of discourse among humankind." Looking at both Anniston and Vadric he says "Could you truly say that the Church would march to the defense of the borderlands or would they dither and wait and see preparing only to defend their own"

Before they can answer he continues....."Part of the pressure they are exerting can be seen in the raids of the Dragonships as they flee and roam further afield to be free of the Drakkar"

Okay I need a roll from Anniston, Vadric, Bertrand and Ewan dc 14....

Default craft roll for charcoal painting of the meeting (1d20+2=20)

OOC: does my order has any knowledge of this (as far as I know)?
[sblock=For DM]
I'll ask Arrwuh as soon as we are out of here, since knowledge DC 30 wasn't enough to discover something about the Book maybe he'll know something else (that I didn't think to ask before).

Consider DC and possible answers on following questions:
Where did "The Dorlons" have hideouts?
Does he know about them from before (as maybe known consorters with demons or some such)?
Any other lore of interests (such as powerful items seized by a Church, destruction of same or lost items etc...)
[/sblock]

Vorian listens patiently, new knowledge of enemy always being useful.
"Maybe we should hear whole story before starting with questions? It would give us time to think and won't derail you from saying everything you wanted."

He also takes some time to study material of Silverwood's armor.
Study of Silverwoods armor (1d20+8=16)

OOC: I just realized that I used number of skill points instead of total ranks in diplomacy before No matter now...
