Simon N. (GM):New Town NE of the cathedral
Erasmus:So kinda here:
Simon N. (GM):just moved your square :)
Erasmus:Oh, cool. Thanks! :)
Simon N. (GM):Well the rules say that usually just lets you maintain a better lifestyle - or for a Monk do more good works I guess :)
Erasmus:Well, as a monk of the Yellow Rose, I gotta keep busy!
Simon N. (GM):There are Yellow Rose monks in Ravensburg guarding the new Duchess, who they basically installed
Erasmus:Erasmus will take some shifts, if it means he doesn't have to face Jyrdani!!
Simon N. (GM)::)
Erasmus:Ooo. Posh!
Simon N. (GM):Ravensburg Throne Hall - the original seat of power of the Damaran kings
Erasmus:Erasmus is hob-nobbin' it now! XD
Simon N. (GM):Temminische introduces you to Sir Arthur Dahnim, the Ducal Steward, often seen as the power behind the throne
Erasmus:"It is my duty to serve. We have done everything we could to aid in the emancipation of captives and in shutting down the Cult of Chaos that was active within the Darkwood."
Simon N. (GM):Dahnim nods. "Indeed - your assistance to Prior Mordrin in dealing with that renegade was an example to us all! Now let me introduce you to the Duchess..."
Erasmus:OOC I presume Erasmus would know how to address a duchess?
Simon N. (GM):Your Highness is good :)
Erasmus:Erasmus bows deeply. "Yes, Your Highness. I have met Lord Einar, and Norrin is a member of our little adventuring party. It is indeed an honour to serve."
Simon N. (GM):Sir Arthur takes Erasmus aside. "On the matter of Gurzun's Hall - you understand that it lies in Arcata, and Carmathan cannot be seen to intervene. Off the record, the Duchess and myself would be pleased to see the Hall returned to Lady D'Ashe, provided that the ...wenches... remain well taken care of."
Afrafa:"I think Gurzun is a nasty piece of work - he's been dealing with the slavers of Goblin Town! He may be a favourite of the Arcatan court, but I doubt Duke William will lift a hand to protect him."
Erasmus:"Our party hail from all over. Our involvement will not imply intervention from Camarth."
Afrafa:Dahnim: "Yes, indeed. And if Lady Barbara were to marry the dauntless Sir Norrin, that would be all to the good. Our western border needs securing - you've seen the growing evil for yourself..."
Erasmus:Erasmus rubs the now healed wound on his chest. "Indeed, I have."
Simon N. (GM):Temminische: "And with the Heroes of Bloodsone off chasing dragons, Damara is particularly vulnerable at present."
Erasmus:"I heard rumours of dragons. I wasn't sure wheather to believe them or not."
Simon N. (GM):Temminische: "Oh yes! A whole army of them attacked Bloodstone Pass! Wanting revenge for Dragonsbane's slaying of Tiamat, most likely."
Erasmus:"This is indeed troubling news. Well, I hope the Heroes of Bloodstone are up to the task, as I doubt there are many others capable of dealing with a whole flight of dragons. Our party would struggl with a wyrmling!"
Afrafa:smiles "We were all there once. You'll soon be Riding the Remorhaz as a Master of Dragons, Brother."
Erasmus:"Ha ha. That may be a long way off, Misttress Afrafa. But I am a long way from the day I was taken in by the monastery, too."
Simon N. (GM):Dahnim nods cordially. "Now if you'll excuse me, I must circulate..." he heads down the steps to talk with Sumata & some other Mercellins.
Erasmus:Bows
Simon N. (GM):Temminische: "Afrafa here was our youngest ever to ride the Remorhaz! And the first female Master of Dragons! Commendable!" Afrafa blushes slightly.
Afrafa:"Thank you, Master."
Simon N. (GM):Temminische: "Brother Erasmus, we are always here if you need us - with the threats faced by our new Duchess, I fear it will be a long time before we can return to the Monastery.... and it is rather warmer here in the winter!" he chuckles.
Erasmus:Cool. Will pick up later, perhaps. I'm at work too, so dipping in and out!!
Simon N. (GM):Temminische: "Walk with me...." he bows to the Duchess & leads Erasmus down the side steps to a secluded corner.
Erasmus:“I am conflicted. As you are aware, I do not know what happened to my wife after the attack on the village. I know you told me there were only two other survivors that you could find, and no-one matching her description among the dead. I can only surmise that she was taken captive by the orcs that attacked us. At first, I simply took that to mean certain death and so had resigned myself to the life of a widower. But now? Now I am not so sure.”
Simon N. (GM):Temminische nods. "It is possible.... It is possible she was taken by the slavers of Goblin Town."
Erasmus:“In the past 3 months, our party has rescued and returned about ten people from various captors. Who is to say that another adventuring party had not succeeded similarly after Isawyn was taken? Do you think me foolish for clutching too tightly to the past?”
Simon N. (GM):"If others had succeeded in rescuing Isawyn, I am certain we would have heard of it. Many heroes have been lost in the attempt to rescue captives taken to the Stoneheart Vale."
Erasmus:"Thank you, Master. I will contemplate on your words."
Simon N. (GM):at you wish
Erasmus:Saves me having to come up with what I've been doing all day!!
Simon N. (GM):Temminische is happy to put you to work on geneological research
Erasmus:Ah! Books!
Simon N. (GM):& legal research on supporting the claim that only Malla is the legitimate Duchess of Carmathan
Erasmus:Is that is question?
Simon N. (GM):as not everyone is convinced and the Baroness of Ostel had been threatening to move in following the flight of the impostor Duke Helmont
Erasmus:Ok, Erasmus will do some research while he's here.
Simon N. (GM):The rules allow for female line succession in extremis but there has never been anything like this - and Malla was raised in poverty, after her mother's death by the Sisters of St Cecilia
Erasmus:"I will do what I can."
Simon N. (GM)::)
Erasmus:Shall I roll for every day, to see whether I'm actually of any use?!!
Simon N. (GM):Repeated efforts use passive score so 13
Erasmus:Better than 6!
Simon N. (GM):you'll dig up some useful stuff eventually :)
Erasmus:But I'm on it all week, right?
Simon N. (GM):yup
Erasmus:Fair enough
Erasmus:I think it's a good plan. It'll go to shit like all plans, but I think it at least starts out as a good plan!
Simon N. (GM):That's fine, you found evidence of cognatic primogeniture in the Devlin wine, well done. :) I see from XGTE Downtime rules they now owe you a favour. :)
Erasmus:Ooo... Hmm, now then... What form can a favour take?
Simon N. (GM):checked plan & posted for Babs - sounds good.
Erasmus:Thumbs up
Simon N. (GM):Gurzun sticking an extra love shack in the interior yard makes the climb to Alokoth's window easy!
Erasmus:Depends when Ted decides to go in first.
Simon N. (GM):Something that benefits you & costs them little or nothing seems likeliest. :)
Erasmus:Ok, thanks. I'll think on it. Ta!

Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"Malied were not in the village"

Simon N. (GM):Malied has managed to teach the dwarf innkeep's daughter Granita Goodrock some arithmetic.

Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"oh but you seem to found one student tho"
Simon N. (GM):"Two rocks plus two rocks = four rocks"
Erasmus:My connection keeps getting interupted apparently.
Malied::)
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):ooc Keelia seem have connection problem
Erasmus:Done it again.
Simon N. (GM):@Strohm are you taking the Couranas with you? And the carriage? If you want to leave your horses, carriage & harem behind 10gp should cover it for 5 days
Qiviel:So, it's not just me having issues....
Chris T.:nope
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):@Simon "seeing this is a dangerous i suggest both of you stay here at Ravensburg until we claimed the Hall back i will write leeter when is safe you both and ride the carriage back to the hall" leaving 190 Silver to the Courana sisters

Malied:gah, unless we got loot i didn;'t added from last week I can't afford any of them :(
Simon N. (GM):you got a bunch of loot
Erasmus:You got about 200gp
Simon N. (GM):222 I believe
Malied:cool, thanks
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"oh Sleep seem promising wish i have the gold for it spend too much for it unfortunately"
Simon N. (GM):150gp then
Malied:great :)
Chris T.:Jack ishappy to give Strohm the money
Simon N. (GM):I was going to say, you may want to add them to your book.
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):ooc its okay chris thanks for the offer tho :D
Malied:strait off? cool :)
Chris T.:no worries
Simon N. (GM):GM: It's a bright and sunny morning when you leave Ravensburg, riding forth on your heroic quest/assassination mission. :)
Malied:Don't most quests start out as heroic then trun to assassination?
Ted:this is like my first heroic assassination quest
Geoff:lol
Ted:totally awesome
Simon N. (GM):>>Malied:strait off? cool :)<< Well obviously you have to pay the money for the ink per RAW
Malied:spelling no good, money paid for the ink :P
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):ooc really scared of Gurzun tho as he fought with a literal dragon slayer
Simon N. (GM):>>For each level of the spell, the process takes 2 hours and costs 50 gp. The cost represents material components you expend as you experiment with the spell to master it, as well as the fine inks you need to record it. Once you have spent this time and money, you can prepare the spell just like your other spells.<<
Ted:Hey Norrin I only have like 1 of these mantraps, they're really heavy dude.
Simon N. (GM):So if you have 50gp left you can add 1 spell to your book
Malied:k, i had the remaing spells she had to offer anyway
Simon N. (GM):>>A Wizard spell on a spell scroll can be copied just as Spells in spellbooks can be copied. When a spell is copied from a spell scroll, the copier must succeed on an Intelligence (Arcana) check with a DC equal to 10 + the spell’s level. If the check succeeds, the spell is successfully copied. Whether the check succeeds or fails, the spell scroll is destroyed.<<

Malied:rolled a 10 and a 7
Qiviel:That gives Q a good chunk of coin now - she can start looking for slightly better armour and weapons :)
Simon N. (GM):You have the best armour already Q :)
Ted:Ted considers old sack and dirty leather armour and looks sad.
Qiviel:Then a better sword is in the cards ;)
Simon N. (GM):ride ride ride...
Geoff:As the group travels, Norrin tells them about how Gurzun wrested ownership of D'Ashe Manor from Barbara and kept her around until she outlived her usefulness to him, and sold her to slavers. While enroute to elsewhere, Norrin, Jack, Einar and others encountered Barbara in the clutches of the half-orc slaver Ostrikka of Goblin Town, and about how in an attempt at subterfuge, he tried bartering for her freedom -- which failed miserably. In the ensuing fight, Norrin was almost killed, and Barbara nursed him back to health in Ramvira Tower. The two quickly fell in love and Norrin vowed to return her to her rightful place.
Ted:Whoah, thats like really romantic dude
Qiviel:Rocco has a lovely smooth gait and Q scans their surroundings continuously
Chris T.:Jack explains about the secret tunnel
Simon N. (GM):eventually as night falls you reach the woods where Barbara suggests you set camp, a few miles east of the Hall.
Chris T.:Happy to lead us through the desne forest.
Erasmus:Erasmus rides alongside Jyrdani. Just chatting.
Malied:when are find a suitable spot to camp Malied will light up a bonefire with a firebolt
Ted:mumbles to himself trying to keep up on foot, eating the riders dust and carrying a heavy old tool sack
Simon N. (GM):Tenho: "cough - I suggest no fires tonight."
Kenny - Syrus:Syrus tries to eavesdrop on the convo between 'Ras and Jyrdani
Malied:Malied quickly smothers it with mage hand
Ted:slumps to the ground looking exhausted
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"no worries Ted once the mission succedd youll be swimming in loot"
Erasmus:OOC Didn't we all get horses?
Kenny - Syrus:OOC Yays so we get to control our own horse?? :))))
Ted:Whoah look at Rocco
Simon N. (GM):yes you all have your own or borrowed horses
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):cool
Simon N. (GM):Ted would be on a couple exhaustion levels after a 60 mile hike I think :)
Qiviel:Q carefully brushes down Rocco's coat with a currycomb and picks burrs from her tail and checks her hooves to ensure she is comfortable after the day
Simon N. (GM):Rocco whinnies happily :)
Ted:hefts tool sack onto horse, then pets horse Nice horsey, thanks dude.
Kenny - Syrus:(Can't move/select my own horse yet)
Simon N. (GM):Suddenly you see something very big pass over you, above the treetops
Ted:whoah
Malied:Malied has been massage his horse the whole was with mage hand
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"is that a bird?"
Ted:what was that hides behind a tree
Kenny - Syrus:Is it a plane?
Simon N. (GM):Jack roll Survival please to see how well the camp is hidden from the white dragon...
Erasmus:beat me to it Kenny!!

Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"well at least its target is not us now focus on the task in hand are we on go tonight to sneak in the festhall?"
Chris T.:"Maybe, the noise of the evening crowd should cover our entrance up the stairs?"
Malied:not a bad idea
Chris T.:"And should we fail, I can lead us back out through the secret passage and through the dark woods back here to our horsdes?"
Geoff:"Gurzun and his cronies sleep during the day, so if we do it in the early evening, we may still be able to catch them unawares."
Chris T.:"Well, the survivors..." He adds with a smile
Simon N. (GM):It's about 7.45pm, sunset was ca 7pm
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"i see so we rest tonight then?"
Qiviel:"Dawn would be the best bet then, or just before," Q comments, still watching the sky.
Chris T.:Unless we go now?
Simon N. (GM):You're about 3-4 miles west of the Hall.
Geoff:"No, I think we should have a scouting mission first, just so we know what we're facing."
Simon N. (GM):GM: Is Ted heading on for his scout?
Chris T.:"We'll only get one chance to use the secret entrance.." Cautions Jack
Kenny - Syrus:Syrus offers to talk magic with Malied
Malied:If had known that I'd have had disguise self prep'd :P
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"i see so who should senak some of us are at a disadavantage"

Simon N. (GM):Barbara approaches Ted. "Are you ready?"
Ted:nods
Qiviel:(Q definitely is at a disadvantage with sneak in her armour :D )
Ted:shakes a gnarly staff with rat tails
Geoff:"Then we take them out, Jack," Norrin replies, grinning fiercly.
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"i wish you luck Ted"
Erasmus:Once we know that, we go throuigh the tunnel. some go up to Alokoth's room via the open yard, rest up to Gurzon's room."
Barbara D'Ashe:"Then good luck, Ted. Be as quick as you can. We plan to attack at dawn."
Ted:Thanks Strohm dude
Chris T.:Fair do's Jack will try get some rest if we're attacking at dawn.
Ted:*Ted slopes off ...
Simon N. (GM):Ted heads west...
Erasmus:"Time will be of the essence. we will have less than 10 minutes from when the alarm is raised before Gurzun and Alokoth are armoured."
Simon N. (GM):Ted: After a mile or so you leave woodland for open moor, two miles further on across the darkling plain you see ahead the warm lights of a large fortified manor house, a quarter mile off. An outer stone wall surrounds manor house, stable, barn and smithy.
Ted:Approach waggling the rat pole Hi Dudes I'm Ted the rat catchers*
Mercenary:"Rats, eh?"

Ted:OK mums the word Norbert
Simon N. (GM):Norbert glances to the middle of the north wall, where Ted makes out a well concealed clasp.
Ted:sip Sip
Simon N. (GM):"Ah, don't worry about that. Rats is rats. Come far?"
Ted:and catching them is my business
Simon N. (GM):GM: Ted notices a hidden keyhole by the clasp; it matches the key he's been given.
Ted:Ah haven't got my full license yet, but a few moreprivate jobs should get me the money for it

Barbara D'Ashe:"I don't know Jack - when they took me through the door I was blindfolded."
Ted:the cellar guard is pretty drunk
Chris T.:"And he changes at middnight?"
Ted:supposed to, might have fallen asleep
Chris T.:"I'm sure his replacement willwake him.."!
Ted:gone midnight
Chris T.:ah
Barbara D'Ashe:Coming up to 12.30
Chris T.:so a dawn attackit is?
Ted:i'm gonna get some shut eye then
Erasmus:"If that's when they're most likely to be in their chambers, yes."
Ted:hey mister rat off you go releases sack rat
Geoff:"How many other guards on the main floor?" Norrin asks.
Rat:scampers off
Ted:2 in the hall and alkoth
Chris T.:"Any sign of Gurzon?£"
Ted:each toweer
Barbara D'Ashe:"It doesn't sound as if he's increased security."
Ted:dwarfs and what looked liked drovers and a whole lot of naked ladies. Strohm you'll love it.
Barbara D'Ashe:"Torag, chief of Torag's Hold. A miner. Friendly with Gurzun - and a powerful warrior."
Geoff:"Are the guards heavily armoured, like elites? Or just mercs?"
Erasmus:"That could be a complication."
Barbara D'Ashe:they had chainmail swords & heavy x-bows
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"Oh my"
Ted:Um like regular guards i guess
Erasmus:"Human?"
Geoff:"Won't be an easy fight, then, but if we catch them by surprise, we'll have the advantage. Take out the head, and the body will follow."
Chris T.:"Sounds good."
Erasmus:"Ok, so we move under cover of darkness to the mouth of the tunnel, then we wait for dawn to attack?"
Ted:ok
Malied:"sounds good"
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"ready as i ever be"
Geoff:"Yes. Anyone who bares steel against us is an enemy."
Chris T.:Jack nods
Simon N. (GM):GM: OK dawn is 5am, so you want to be there about 3am?
Ted:the staff seem pretty scared of this alkoth dude, dont think they will get in the way
Qiviel:Q snoozes until they are ready to leave
Chris T.:Yes,that sounds good.
Simon N. (GM):You'll be much harder to spot approaching on foot to the secret entry
Kenny - Syrus:OOC can our token sit on top of our horses pls?
Chris T.:Dowe have any super stealthy folks among us?
Ted:i'm kinda sneaky
Chris T.:(Leave the horses in the forest?)
Simon N. (GM):leave horses here & head over the plain on foot?
Kenny - Syrus:I can be sneaky with +5 on stealth?
Chris T.:That will be sneakier
Ted:yeah lets go
Simon N. (GM):It's the safest for not being spotted but gives up fast exit if fleeing
Chris T.:"We don't want to blow surprise by blundering in. Perhaps one of our stealthy folk could sneak inand see if the key fits and if there is any sound beyond the door?"
Erasmus:As Syrus is asleep on his hose, Erasmus gives him a slap on the arse to wake him.
Kenny - Syrus:"Waaaaaaa ...psppstt??"
Chris T.:I vote we leave the horses.
Simon N. (GM):ok after a short nap for most of you, Jack leads you out of the woods and across the heathland, circling round to approach on foot from the north.
Kenny - Syrus:"Are we moving??"
Erasmus:OOC Haha. just seen the name of the music track!!
Simon N. (GM)::)
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):oh my
Chris T.:Are we going to send a scout to check the lock?
Malied:this was in the conan film i think
Simon N. (GM):ooc can't get the paste to work
Malied:yep
Simon N. (GM):ok will need to add tokens manually, will be a few mins
Qiviel:(I've got to wrap up shortly, I'm starting with a new team in the morning, so I need to be rested :) )
Simon N. (GM):ok Q can guard the rear
Chris T.:(Good luck,Keelia!)
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):oh sleep wull Keelia
Erasmus:Yeah, good luck for tomorrow!
Kenny - Syrus:see you next week Keelia! :)
Ted:nite K
Geoff:Have a good night!
Qiviel:Thanks guys :) If you need to use Q's sword or spells, feel free! Night all and stay safe!
Chris T.:G'night!
Simon N. (GM):ok check secret entrance area top right on hall map
Chris T.:yup
Malied:yep
Erasmus:Looks like it
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):seeing Qiviel guarding the rear for now Strohm unsummon his greatsword and equipped himself with a sword and shield
Chris T.:So are we scouting to checkthe lock? If so who should go?
Ted:i can
Erasmus:"The quiestest of us. Tenho, perhaps?
Ted:sure
Chris T.:We just need to know if the key fits the lock and if there are any sounds beyond.
Erasmus:"Ah, good point."
Ted:works for me
Simon N. (GM):GM: The door to the secret tunnel creaks open into pitch blackness.
Ted:check around for recent tracks
Chris T.:Well two+ means more chances of failing stealth?
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):ooc nevermind im sticking with my greatsword
Ted:

SURVIVAL (3)
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):oh shit
Chris T.:My suggestion would then be to send a stealthy hit team once we know we can get past the lock, kill the guard and bring in the rest.
Simon N. (GM):Ted sees no tracks :)
Ted:none at all
Simon N. (GM):Ted sneaking down the tunnel?
Geoff:I agree with Chris

Chris T.:If the key doesn'twork,that's a great idea, Kenny
Simon N. (GM):Ted reaches the door, it's v solid. he spots a keyhole that matches his key.
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):@Kenny maybe when we encounter a guard
Chris T.:Okay.
Ted:OOC whos coming with?
Chris T.:So weare reasonably sure we can get in.
Simon N. (GM):Ted is alone
Kenny - Syrus:Sure! Hopefully the guard that we will meet will not be very "wise"
Chris T.:So n9ow, Syrus,Jack and Ted can try take out the guard?
Ted:OOC Im level 1 so this is hit or miss
Simon N. (GM):Is Ted going back?
Chris T.:Jackcan hopefully get an 'ambush' attack in and drop him.
Ted:no DM. Ted waits at the door listening

Chris T.:he steps carefully over the man trap then dashes after Syrus
Simon N. (GM):if you are all fleeing I'll put you out of combat now
Ted:OOC seriously are we running?
Chris T.:Sorry guys, we messed that up :(
Ted:OOC we got in
Kenny - Syrus:OOC Sigh I should've tried suggestion on the guard but I did not expect he would be so hardy - sorry!
Simon N. (GM):(needed a good Sleight of Hand guy to get the door open silently & Surprise guard.)
Chris T.:There will only be two of us to hold the door for 2 minutes
Ted:OOC well if the guys are leaving i will too
Chris T.:(With the key I wasn't expecting a SOH and the rolls undid us. Lady luck was not with us.)
Kenny - Syrus:OOC also on hindsight we should have asked the rest of the party follow us maybe 60' behind as I did not realise we were 500' away!
Simon N. (GM):I did tell you
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):yeah that was bad
Simon N. (GM):Or check the map top right
Kenny - Syrus:But Chris you/we could not have expected such a bad dice roll, so not really your fault!
Chris T.:Jacdk will let more experienced heads plan the next move
Geoff:No battle plan ever survives contact with the enemy.
Simon N. (GM):A minute later by the time the fleers exit the tunnel, the Hall blazes with light as it comes alert.
Chris T.:"Let's getthe heck out of Dodge."
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):sigh
Barbara D'Ashe:sigh
Erasmus:"Back to the horses."
Geoff:"We won't be able to use the tunnel again," Norrin says. "They will secure it even better, and with more guards."
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"are we running back to Ravenburg?"
Erasmus:"Then we find another way in."
Kenny - Syrus:That could be a good time - Guards diverted to the secret entrance, away from other posts maybe??
Chris T.:"They will. We had one chance. I'm afraid Lady Barbara will be sleeping on the couch a bit longer."
Tenho Isotalo:"Let's talk while we run - unless you want to wait and see if they chase us? We could make a stand here..."
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"is this Festhall only for pivate guess could we enter as a guess?"
Barbara D'Ashe:"Anyone may enter, if the gate guards allows - not beggars and such."
Kenny - Syrus:"Ohhhhh Tenho!!!! drawing them out - can we hide and take them out long range with bows??"
Strohm of Leth (Muiz):"no lets run to the horses Jack could you erase our tracks?"
Chris T.:"They know severalof us now. But the oytthers could?"
Barbara D'Ashe:GM: There's no immediate sign of pursuit.
Chris T.:WellI had my go, so happytodo what ever you guys want now.
Kenny - Syrus:"They only seen Jack and Ted, I ran out before anyone else saw us..."
Chris T.:"They know sir Norrin."
Ted:lets like stop the dithering and stick to a plan dudes. If we are fleeing let us flee!
Simon N. (GM):GM: You start heading east - Jack can't erase tracks while running
Geoff:nodding "I've been here before too."
Chris T.:Jack is pretty safe in the dark, he will take time to erase the tracks.
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:OK Jack can follow behind erasing tracks while the rest run back to the woods.
Kenny - Syrus:"If we need a good entry through the front, maybe I can offer one of my epic songs to perform. and maybe a couple of you can be my bodyguards or music accompaniment??"
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:Jyrdani looks sad at no fight. :(
Chris T.:Jack too, but the God's were agin us
Erasmus:"There'll be opportunities to bloody your blade soon enough."
