To the noble BORN 6/9/08 (finished)

[Jack of Tales]

Cait and her horse move forward and she scans the group assembled before her. They looked to be of high breeding but were definitely ragged and battle-worn. Could these be the men and women she had been sent to join up with. Good afternoon, gentlemen and ladies. Cait inclines her head to each member in turn although she gives a questioning look to the ragged Keef standing nearby.

I am Cait Vanahil of the noble house Vanahil currently headed to the town of Bremenburg to meet up with several other nobles from varying families. You look to be of high breeding, would you perchance be them? If not have you seen or heard of the party I am searching for? Cait eyes one of the young men in the group and wonders to herself if she knows him. He looks familiar enough..perhaps at one of the parties she attended back home?

 

[Fenris]

A tall man in full armor replies "Greetings in kind, Cait Vanahil. While we are indeed on the path to Bremenburg, I would not know if we are the group you seek, or have heard of them. If you would be so kind so to tell us whom it is you seek, we shall be glad to be of assistance."

 

[Jack of Tales]

Cait reaches into her backpack and unrolls a long scroll. " According to Count Hathwick I am to find five individuals four of whom are from our esteemed noble families. The priestess Lily Fairgold of Yondalla, Kerin Rookstone, son of Baron Leinach Rookstone of the family Rookstone, the Honorable Raymond Hathwick of the Count's own family, Jason Aurelius of House Aurelius and one Xaros Anuvien of the House Anuvien."

She pauses for a moment to roll up the scroll and tuck it away. "I do hope you can help me, they would have been traveling this road to Bremenburg although I suppose they should have arrived there by now."


[sblock] OOC I assumed she had left before news of Jason's return had come which is why I included his name. [/sblock]

 

[Fenris]

The man in armor gives a small bow, "Then indeed your search is concluded, for we are those whom you seek. I am Kerin Rookstone. Forgive our caution, but we were recently amushed by bandits who knew our route."

 

[Jack of Tales]

Cait covers her mouth with one hand in surprise. Ambushed you say? No wonder you all look so wearied! Do you have any wounded amongst you that require medical attention? An ambush would explain why you've yet to make it to Bremenburg. To think that some fools would dare raise a blade to a noble! I hope you taught them all a sound lesson in humiliation. If not I'm sure my bodyguard, Caprise would be glad to. Cait smiles at her guard who winks back. Per chance Do you have arrangements for the night yet?

 

[Dekana]

"Good day to you, milady. Aside from the injured bandits, Rayburn here "- Lily taps him on the shoulder -" is the only one that requires healing. The battle was hard-fought, and I've already exhausted most of my curative abilities for the day! But the bandits were indeed humiliated; we left few, including their leader, dead, and we took prisoners."

"We haven't had the chance to find lodging yet. We've only just arrived to the town; we were planning to find a jail for these prisoners first."

edit: I think I confused Xaros with Rayburn, oops.

 

[knight_isa]

"Actually," Rayburn pipes up, "I could use a little more healing, too. I took quite the hit from that bowman."

OOC: Unless I missed something, I'm still down a bit: -14 + 4 + 6 = -4

 

[Jack of Tales]

Cait swings gently off the horse and lands gracefully on the ground. For a woman who appears to be a priestess of some kind she moves with a strange agility. She approaches the blonde-haired man and smiles at him. You must be Rayburn Hathwick, you're father told me about you. You two don't seem to have the best relationship, do you? Anyway, let me see that shoulder wound. Cait places a single hand just above the skin and murmurs a short prayer to Ehlonna. Please heal this man's with the power of the green.

OOC: Cure Light wounds: 1d8 +2 = 5

The Townsman returns, with his son leading a pony, beside him.

“Excuse me milord and lady, Now that we have got those bandits locked away, Will y’all be wanting rooms here or going on to Baron Westwig’s keep? I’ll send Josh on the pony to him, shouldn’t be more than a few hours.

OOC:
It looks like we left SW as healing 2 hp i.e. “Second Wind might be limited to the greater of 1/4 max hp, or Con Modifier” I’ll do a battle wrap-up next time.

Although it wasn’t clear the time is mid-afternoon. Travel at pony speed is 4 miles per hour on a road, although the return trip was longer. The party went through Tarse the first time at mid-morning.

"I guess we can stay. Not too many hours of daylight left, and my wounds are sore." says Xaros.
