[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 7948900, member: 7015827"] After the group finished looting the Hallton equipment and rigging stretchers for the bodies of the two baronial soldiers who had fallen during combat, they slowly made their way down the manor hill, heading away from that grim place without once looking behind. As the group reached the outskirts of the manor grounds, Belle reappeared, immediately taking in the stretchers and the tired but victorious mien of her comrades. Hugging Rahnee, she was informed of what had happened, Darrow chiding her with a smile about her missing the fun. Rahnee then told Belle that she wished for Belle to help them search the manor basement again, not understanding why Hallton had run underground, but then came back upstairs into the corridor where they had found him. The adventurers trooped back to the manor, where Aerikoth spent time examining Hallton’s chest further, while the others went underground to go over the torture chamber once again. Finding nothing, the companions emerged from the manor and discovered Jokull making his way up the hill. He reported that he had seen no other enemies and then was filled in on the results of the battle. It was decided that Aerikoth would teleport to Turnton with Hallton’s chest, while the others made their way overland to the town. Aerikoth said the words to activate the spell and disappeared, while the others made their way along the path from the manor back toward Tallwell. Around midday of Hammer 30, Rahnee, Belle, Darrow and Jokull arrived in Turnton, having had a chilling encounter with a group of winter wolves along the way. Darrow had got the worst of it, as his beard was still frost-brittle. They met up with Aerikoth in Baron Pahar’s audience chamber, where the Baron offered his thanks for their success and his sympathies for their loss. Rahnee expressed her sorrow at the loss of Pahar’s men and offered to provide compensation for their families. Turning to business, Pahar told them that he had decided not to occupy Hallton’s lands, at least until the identity of Hallton’s secret backers was uncovered, judging the risk of a confrontation with them would be too great. As soon as High Cleric Carlin returned, Pahar planned to visit Westgate and confer with his Thalavar allies regarding the situation. Rahnee, smiling slightly, informed Pahar she had told the Mayor of Tallwell that she should be considered the seneschal of Hallton’s estates until further notice. The Baron observed that this made Rahnee a target, something which she indicated was intentional. Belle muttered something to the effect that she was not quite as enthusiastic about the prospect of being a target. The companions also discussed the mystery of Hallton’s chest and the lack of treasure found at his manor. In the end, it was decided that Aerikoth would teleport back to the guest house with Hallton’s chest, which could then be delivered to Castle Thalavar for further investigation. An impatient Jokull departed the audience chamber without any further word, prompting an apology from Rahnee. The others said their goodbyes to the Baron and departed, with Aerikoth teleporting out soon after. ([I]Jokull's contempt for authority figures has been evident throughout these chronicles. Is his attitude the result of his past treatment in Cormyr and his current status as an exiled Purple Dragon? Or is it the stereotypical Cormyrian hauteur and arrogance towards outsiders? It is hard to say. However, the fact that the warrior has managed to avoid fighting in his company's major battles, both against the lich Ashnakzeroth and the self-styled Duke Hallton, means that he has fewer accomplishments to be arrogant about. --R[/I]) [/QUOTE]
