Seven blue ovals on a green field are depicted on the coat of arms on his shield and breastplate, likely related to his house's name.He approaches and removes his steel gauntlets, touching a lock of hair as he regards the lifeless body strapped to the saddle. He warily glances at the silent demon child but responds to Rufus, Geryk and Me-Yuing."A barn you say. A farmhouse then? Attacked by the undead... And Adelaide... How did she die? Where is her sword?"It is then that Thok speaks, and galen turns to face him, wide-eyed with anger and with an expression of shock on his face."Stupid! You - he pauses and breathes out, regarding Rufus's damaged armour and Zinerath's clearly worn state. - hm. Perhaps I should allow you leniency as you seem to lack the necessary skill in speaking the Common tongue of Muirlane. Yes indeed, she was... "nice" and a good woman. A true paladin of Lathander, one who was following in both her father's footsteps and those of Lazarus. She was eager to prove herself and bold beyond reason. Peace be upon her."Galen pauses and remounts his horse. The column had slowly been passing by, and more and more people who used to know the fallen paladin started to flock around them. The commotion was noted, even as conversations started humming about, and several different warriors or clerics asked the adventurers of what transpired, and how they were unable to aid Adelaide. More and more people mentioned Ferviel and a means to revive her back to life trough Lathander's favor. It doesn't take long for the Dawnbringer to ride back to the group, accompanied by Lazarus Trimenheim, the leader of this mission."Well, crap on a shiny stick! - mumbles the cleric of Lathadner as he regards the scene. His face resembles that of a man who is used to eating sour food and now tasted something even he found appalling. - Some scouting mission! Lazardus, if I may, we should pitch camp. It's getting dark and a perimeter must be set."The paladin clad in golden plate regards the scene with is blue eyes, his face carved of stone but yet with a hint of sorrow and disappointment creeping in his gaze."Indeed Dawnbringer." - he turns towards the distraught warrior - "Galen - ride to the captains and let them know that we are stopping our march for today. Find a suitable location on elevated ground that is at least two hundred yards from anything larger than a shrub. See to the tents and make sure that a perimeter is established - torches, bells, stakes around the stables, the armoury and the provisions! The scouting parties will assemble in my tent as soon as they have tended to their tents, mounts and gear. You have two hours."Ferviel sighs and dismounts his destrier. He approaches Adelaide's body and examines her wounds. "She has been rent asunder - bitten in the neck, and her chest opened up by claws. If I didn't know better I'd have said a bear did this. What in Lathander's holy name did you find?""Ghouls and Shadows is what Geryk said." Galen says dryly as he mounts his steed. He doesn't seem too impressed with the creatures."If a Ghoul did this then I'm the bloody Princess." Ferviel responds and looks at his fellow cleric. "Help me get her down, and tell me everything that happened. The rest of you - come with me, brother Tobias will see that your mounts and tents are attended to. You - he regards Zinerath with a penetrating gaze. - You need that filth washed off you. Step away from the others."</blockquote>
