Baron Veaublanche George’s Lord lives a few miles North of Godakin Keep. Because the party and the dwarven soldiers are all on the same boat, the boat would have sailed down the river to Godakin Keep. This is why we where all in the same place.
About two weeks after the defense of Fitela you find yourself at Godakin Keep … is traveling as fast as it can down the King’s Highway towards Flen. The regular army is being used to defend the fleeing population, while the Sterich cavalry, under the command of Marshall Karri Velthundle launches hit-and-run attacks against the pursuing armies’ flanks and rear.
This road uses Baron Veaublanche’ ferry. After landing at the keep George would have reported the loss of Fitela. Than he would have hurried up the road to visit Istivin. Finding out that city is being abandoned, George would have reported back to Baron Veaublanche and then head south to Godakin Keep.
Upon first arriving in Godakin Keep you undergo intense scrutiny by its defenders. Refugees have been pouring over the border from Sterich for weeks, setting up makeshift camps in the shadow of the castle. All crave the defense of the keep’s strong walls, yet few can fit inside. Eventually someone who knows one of you vouches for you and you are allowed to enter.
Within the keep you find everything in an uproar. In addition to the refugees, volunteers from all over Keoland have been pouring into this part of the country, offering their swords in the defense of their neighbors. Sadly, the local baron is not the best at managing large groups of people, and many are beginning to get tired of just sitting around, waiting for orders.
George upon his return would have known the local Baron is useless as this keep is a neighbor of George’s Lord. He would not have been around in the initial organizing of the troops, but he would have organized & led the scouting parties.
Eventually you decide to take surveys of the local warriors, dividing them up by experience and specialty. Knowing that there is a large lack of good intelligence you organize and lead small scouting parties into enemy-controlled territory, and also make contact with small groups of sympathetic demi-humans and creatures who are willing to be of assistance.George would have had some knowledge of these local lands. His knowledge would also be increasing during these scouting forays.
Back at Godakin you start suspecting that the seneschal of the baron is more than he seems.Word would have gotten back through the scouting and I would seek out both Lataya & Mavic to help figure it out as magic messages is beyond my knowledge. After carefully monitoring his movements for a few weeks and using divination magic, you discover that he is secretly passing messages to a foreign power. Unable to get definite proof of this, and worried that the baron would not believe you (or worse, might be a co-conspirator) you follow the seneschal’s messages which eventually lead you to a seemingly abandoned house in a nearby boggy forest. Infiltrating the house you discover that it in fact houses a cell of agents working for the Despot Turrosh Mak, new lord of the Pomarj.This infiltration would have showed everyone my ability to get into locked rooms. Many of the doors had traps and all where disabled allowing us the stealth to come up unopposed to a door that has a bar. By now the tension was at a highpoint. Everyone was hyped on adrenaline. Therefore when I announced my failure to remove the bar across the door, the rest of the party took care of it
PS. Through this synopsis: Below is how George would perceive everyone. I am trying to get let everyone have a handle on how comfortable and familiar he is with the party.
Anatasia would probably not be high on the radar screen as of yet. To George she is but another fighter and nothing special. Remember George came late to Fitela and because of Morley's deed, Anatasia was nothing but a 2 bit hack who got wacked real hard.
Morely is the hero of Fitela. 'nuff 'ced
Lataya & Mavic would be mages that helped George plug a security leak. Therefore their worth would have increased.
Revik also would not be high on george's radar screen. He would probably be nothing more than a dwarven bard who went on the raid to the boggy forest.
