Lost and Found

[Anume]

 [KNIGHT] A circle of Seers: 'I feel a storm coming.'

 [KNIGHT] A circle of Seers: 'You always say that.'

 [PRAETORIAN] (Lord of Battle) Tarsonis: 'Hmm'

 [KNIGHT] A circle of Seers: 'I feel it bringing someone this time though.'

PRAETORIAN] (Lord of Battle) Tarsonis: 'A storm?'

 [KNIGHT] A circle of Seers: 'Bringing someone?'

 [KNIGHT] A circle of Seers: 'You mean like delivering a package.'

 [KNIGHT] A circle of Seers: 'If you want to call it that, yes. I feel the package will be in a bad shape though.'

 [KNIGHT] A circle of Seers: 'Well what does it matter, we've not ordered any packages.'

 [KNIGHT] A circle of Seers: 'More something we've lost than something we've ordered.'

 

Tarsonis>

Karishin tells you 'A busted leg on a millipied won't change course for long. '

Tarsonis> You tell Karishin 'Aye, but if you'd give me a moment'

 

 [KNIGHT] A circle of Seers: 'I haven't lost anything. Well... maybe a sock or two.'

Tarsonis> You tell Karishin 'Ive a mattertatend to'

 

(Reymir prays 'Deleting in 7'

You tell Reymir 'Go ahead.'

Reymir prays '6'

Reymir prays '54321'

Reymir has deleted in room 20605. <- coordinating for the partipicipants to arrive at the right time wasn’t easy )

 

Tarsonis> Karishin tells you 'Indeed.'

Tarsonis> [PRAETORIAN] (Lord of Battle) Tarsonis: 'Heh'

 [KNIGHT] A circle of Seers: 'Socks, we're not talking about socks.'

 [KNIGHT] A circle of Seers: 'I think we should send someone down to the beach.'

 

Meanwhile:

A wide, sandy beach

  You are standing on a broad, sandy beach. Miles of pure yellow

sand stretch out for miles on either side of you, running along

the Theran coastline. From here, the Dead Sea, a warm water sea,

runs for miles to the horizon. Oddly, beyond the endless stretch

of water, you think you can make out what seems to be land, many

miles away, and shrouded in the distance.

 

[Exits: north east south west]

     The scattered remains of a small ship decorate the beach.

(Charmed) A few friar s bearing the crest of ValMiran are here.

A hooded figure is sleeping here.

 

Tarsonis> [PRAETORIAN] (Lord of Battle) Tarsonis: 'Hmm, which beach? I could certainly go check for you two'

 [KNIGHT] A circle of Seers: 'You there, go to the beach!'

 [KNIGHT] A circle of Seers: 'Well, the beach near the castle of course.'

Tarsonis> [PRAETORIAN] (Lord of Battle) Tarsonis: 'Ah yes, I'll head there'

 

And Tarsonis walks and walks and walks some more…

 

 [KNIGHT] A circle of Seers: 'Found anything yet?'

 

Tarsonis> [PRAETORIAN] (Lord of Battle) Tarsonis: 'Looking about'

 

Tarsonis> You scan all around.

You scan north.

You scan east.

You scan south.

You scan west.

*** Range 2 (west) ***

A hooded figure is sleeping here.

You scan up.

You scan down.

 

Tarsonis rides in.

Tarsonis's Knight Avatar walks in.

Tarsonis's Knight Avatar enters the room.

 

Tarsonis> A wide, sandy beach

 

[Exits: north east south west]

     The scattered remains of a small ship decorate the beach.

A hooded figure is sleeping here.

Tarsonis's Knight Avatar walks in.

 

Tarsonis> [PRAETORIAN] (Lord of Battle) Tarsonis: 'Hmm, i see a hooded figure'

 

 [KNIGHT] A circle of Seers: 'No socks, told you.'

 [KNIGHT] A circle of Seers: 'Who is it?'

 

Tarsonis> [PRAETORIAN] (Lord of Battle) Tarsonis: 'Indeed, no socks...'

Tarsonis> [PRAETORIAN] (Lord of Battle) Tarsonis: 'It sleeps. Should I wake it?'

 

 [KNIGHT] A circle of Seers: 'And why would we have lost him?'

 

A hooded figure wakes and stands up.

A hooded figure looks around groggily, his sandy and wet hood drooping heavily over his face.

 

Tarsonis says 'Hmm'

Tarsonis says 'Who are you...'

Tarsonis says 'You alright?'

 

A hooded figure stumbles to get to his feet, only to fall again. Your voice catches his attention, and he looks in your direction.

 

Tarsonis rushes over to help the hooded figure.

Tarsonis stretches out his arm for support.

Tarsonis says 'Grab hold...'

 

A hooded figure motions to his concealed face, and a raspy nearly inaudible voice emits from underneath the hood. 'Waaa....water.'

 

Tarsonis says 'Seems you are struggling a bit there.'

 

[KNIGHT] A circle of Seers: 'Might be a nexian for all we know.'

Tarsonis> [PRAETORIAN] (Lord of Battle) Tarsonis: 'Ill proceed with caution...'

 

 [KNIGHT] A circle of Seers: 'And we did lose some of those, fortunately. Like this demon, Tkanzhar.'

 

Tarsonis says 'Here, drink this...'

Tarsonis hands you a chalice.

Tarsonis drops a silver chalice ornamented with pearls.

 

A hooded figure reaches up to you, his sleeve falling to his shoulder revealing a scarred arm and a tattoo of a Blazing Sun.

 

Tarsonis gasps in astonishment.

 

A hooded figure dives at the chalice and turns it upside down.

 

Tarsonis says 'Hmm. that mark...'

 

A hooded figure drinks water from a silver chalice ornamented with pearls.

 

Tarsonis>

A hooded figure drinks water from a silver chalice ornamented with pearls.

 

Tarsonis says 'Ive seen it before..'

 

A hooded figure drinks water from a silver chalice ornamented with pearls.

Tarsonis says 'You... '

Tarsonis says 'Who are you?'

 

A hooded figure lets out a loud 'BURRRRRRPPPPP'

Tarsonis looks over at the hooded figure.

 

Tarsonis gets a silver chalice ornamented with pearls.

 

Tarsonis grabs a hold of your arm and tries to take a closer look at the tattoo.

A hooded figure uses your grab to hoist himself to his feet, looking a bit more steady.

A hooded figure pauses for a moment, seemingly studying you.

A hooded figure leans in closer to you. The smell of salt and brine invades your nostrils heavily.

A hooded figure says 'Taa...Tarsonis?'

 

Tarsonis says 'Nostalgic...'

Tarsonis says 'Yes, it is I, Tarsonis'

Tarsonis says 'I would know this feeling anywhere'

Tarsonis says 'Old friend'

A smile escapes Tarsonis' lips.

 

A hooded figure falters a bit, but regains his footing. 'My....oh my...'

 

Tarsonis tries to contain his excitement.

Tarsonis says 'I thought... I thought you were lost for good'

 

A hooded figure chuckles lightly before launching into a coughing fit. 'How....what are you...Thank you Lord for you. Where am I?'

A hooded figure looks around himself,

 

Tarsonis says 'Seems you washed ashore'

Tarsonis says 'You are upon a sandy beach nearby the castle.'

Tarsonis says 'Do you remember who or where you are?'

Tarsonis says 'What in God's name happened to you?'

 

A hooded figure falters again. 'So...I made it.' He nods. 'The Castle....that's something I've not heard in years...'

A hooded figure looks up to the sky, the edges of his hood falling slightly. 'What day is it?'

 

Giving off a slight nod, Tarsonis continues, 'Yes, the castle... you are safe now'

Tarsonis says 'It is the Thirday, the 13th of Life '

Tarsonis says 'Spring to be exact'

 

Tarsonis> You say 'Spring to be exact'

Tarsonis says 'Ive searched perhaps a hundred moons for you'

Tarsonis says 'To no avail'

Tarsonis says 'I thought you dead...'

A hooded figure looks a little more firm in his footing. He releases your arm. 'Spring?!' He lets out a sigh.

 

----

 

 [WARMASTER] the Titan: 'Karishin, go to the beach near the Knights and see what's going on there.'

Karishin> [BARBARIAN] (Barbarian) Karishin: 'Aye!'

[WARMASTER] the Titan: 'All that yelling from the seers is giving me a headache. Hold your sword for now though, we want to find out what is going on.'

Karishin> [BARBARIAN] (Barbarian) Karishin: 'Aye, I shall investigate only.'

 

----

 

A hooded figure bows his head, and reaching up to his hood, pulls it back.

The thick cloak about Leothyre falls away.

Tarsonis says 'So glad to see you alive. You've no idea'

 

Karishin rides in.

 

Leothyre shakes the sand from his stringy, knotted hair. 'Brother...I thought I was.' He launches into another coughing fit.

 

Karishin sheathes his weapons.

 

Tarsonis stifles a tear.

 

Karishin holds up his hands, 'No weapons.

 

Leothyre looks up at Karishin, his eyes weary.

Leothyre looks at Karishin.

 

Karishin glances around, 'What is going on here?

 

Tarsonis hands you another glass of water.

 

Karishin looks at Leothyre, 'Er, hello there.

 

Tarsonis says 'Drink'

 

Leothyre walks over to the pieces of wreckage, albeit painfully slow.

Tarsonis drops a silver chalice ornamented with pearls.

Tarsonis drinks water from a silver chalice ornamented with pearls.

Karishin drinks water from a silver chalice ornamented with pearls.

 

Leothyre drops down to his knees and begins rummaging through the wreckage.

 

Tarsonis gets a silver chalice ornamented with pearls.

 

Karishin surveys the scene before him,

Karishin says 'So then.. there's been a shipwreck?'

 

Leothyre pulls out a large sheath of weapons from underneath a broken oar.

 

Tarsonis nods at Karishin.

 

Leothyre cringes and coughs up a bit of water. He whipes his mouth and continues rummaging. 'I can't believe you found me, Tarsonis...'

 

Karishin rubs his chin, 'Hrm. Anyone else in the mess?

 

Something else is stuck under the wreckage, looks like cloth.

 

Karishin dismounts from a warhorse.

Karishin wanders from the horse toward the wreckage, looking about.

 

Leothyre shakes his head. 'Just me, stranger. Just me.' He spots something a few feet away from him, and crawls toward it.

 

Karishin glances at Leothyre, 'Karishin.

 

 Tarsonis rushes over to help Leothyre through the wreckage.

 

Karishin walks toward the flash of cloth as well.

Karishin says 'Something you need?'

 

Leothyre begins to pry away some boards. He pauses long enough to reply. 'It's a..' he begins coughing again. 'Pleasure.'

 

Tarsonis gives a barrel of milk to Leothyre.

Karishin says 'Take it easy there.'

Leothyre's hunger mauls him.

 

As you get nearer you see that a teal banner is stuck under the wreckage.

 

Tarsonis leans into the boards as well, helping Leothyre pry away at the wood.

Karishin reaches and grabs hold of the banner, gently pulling it out of the wreckage.

Karishin stretches out the banner and examines it.

 

Leothyre lets out a small sigh of relief. 'Oh......oh, thank God.' He watches as Karishin gently pulls the banner out of the wreckage.

 

Karishin says 'What's this then?'

 

Tarsonis says 'Have some milk, Leothyre'

Tarsonis says 'Regain your strength'

Tarsonis gives a barrel of milk to Leothyre.

 

Karishin lowers the banner to look over at Leothyre, 'This looks kind of like the ones in Val Miran.

 

Leothyre reaches out and takes the banner. 'This....is a long story.' He chuckles, looking at the banner with a look of comfort on his face.

Karishin releases the cloth to Leothyre.

Leothyre carefully uncorks the barrel and takes a few sips, holding the banner out.

Leothyre drinks milk from a barrel of milk.

Leothyre returns the cork.

Leothyre gives a barrel of milk to Tarsonis.

Tarsonis nods at Leothyre.

Tarsonis looks at Leothyre.

Karishin looks at Leothyre.

 

Leothyre straightens out the banner, dusts it off, and holds it high.

Leothyre lights a teal banner displaying a White Wolf and holds it.

 

Tarsonis looks at Leothyre.

Karishin looks at Leothyre.

 

Leothyre smiles as he looks around. He pats himself down, checking for something.

 

Leothyre flings open his sheath and begins pulling weapons out of it.

 

Tarsonis says 'How do you feel, old friend?'

 

Karishin frowns, 'Hrm. You're a Knight too then?

 

Leothyre says painstaking slowly, 'Like I'm dreaming...sort of.'

Tarsonis says 'You are looking much better than when I first found you'

Leothyre frowns ever so slightly at the comment, but disregards it. 'Well....was a Knight, good sir.'

Karishin says 'Ah.'

Karishin says 'I see.'

Karishin rubs his chin, 'Well, I didn't come here for a fight anyway. Just to investigate.

 

Leothyre chuckles and shakes his head. 'I'm afraid I lost that blessing when I set out on my Crusade.'

Leothyre pats around his body again, looking for something.

 

Karishin says 'Mm, a Crusade against who?'

Karishin says 'Lost something else?'

 

Karishin's hunger decimates him!

Tarsonis gives a barrel of milk to Karishin.

Tarsonis tosses Karishin a barrel of milk.

 

Leothyre looks up at the Banner. 'A Crusade for who, more like it. My cousin...'

Leothyre looks over at Tarsonis. 'Please...pleease tell me Valerion is here, at the Castle?'

Tarsonis gives off a sad frown.

Karishin arches a brow, 'Valerion? Never heard the name.

Tarsonis says 'No... I am afraid not'

Tarsonis says 'He... he didn't make it'

 

Leothyre continues. 'And the King?' He frowns, and sighs, a look of remorse crossing his face.

Karishin says 'The King?'

Leothyre says 'The King...has not returned?'

Tarsonis says 'We've yet to find the true king'

Leothyre nods at Karishin briefly.

 

Karishin says 'Warmasters recognize no King.'

The teal banner flaps heavily in the wind as Leothyre grows silent, looking across the sea.

Tarsonis says 'Although a young bard has been quite hot on the trail. The castle, on the other hand, has been swamped with attacks from all sides since my return'

Tarsonis says 'After my search for you'

Tarsonis gives a slow sigh then regains his composure.

 

Karishin drinks milk from a barrel of milk.

The comment completely falls on deaf ears as Leothyre seems caught in a memory.

Karishin says 'Not from all sides, just the Warmasters. The Nexus are all but gone.'

Karishin growls and mutters, 'Not anymore though.

Karishin mutters something quietly to himself.

 

Leothyre shakes his head and snaps back to reality. 'Wait, what?'

Tarsonis says 'The Nexus, the Syndicate, and a newly formed Savant'

Tarsonis says 'Yes... from all sides'

Leothyre whips around. 'Attacks from the Warmasters?'

Tarsonis nods at Leothyre.

Leothyre looks confused. 'What happened?'

Karishin says 'Well, they would be ongoing.'

 

Tarsonis says 'Indeed... I feel a new darkness looms'

Karishin says 'But a fool of a Warmaster turned craven.'

 

Karishin clears his throat.

Leothyre says 'Before my departure, we were in excellent standing with them. Some of my closest friends were of the camp.'

Tarsonis says 'Conspiring all and doing everything it its power to crush the castle'

Tarsonis says 'We've found you at a time of most dire need'

Leothyre looks lost for words. 'Wh....' He pauses for a moment. 'Who assumed the rank of Regent, after I left?'

Karishin says 'Well, there were events that led the camp to reconsider much, and forge a different path.'

 

Karishin says 'Kimril.'

Tarsonis says 'Now I am sure I made a correct choice...'

Leothyre grows silent, his eyes darting around as thinks.

Tarsonis says 'But i left for many moons in search of you, Leothyre'

Karishin says 'Well, anyway, he was made Regent at some point. Not sure how long you have been gone.'

Tarsonis says 'In my absense, Kimril took the mantle of REagent'

Karishin says 'Personally, Tarsonis, I think you would carry that banner better.'

Leothyre looks at Tarsonis, a somewhat pleaing look on his face. 'The Castle still stands...right?'

 

Leothyre looks at Karishin.

Karishin says 'But.. Kimril and I have largely put most of our bad blood away so I won't say much more.'

Karishin says 'Oh it does.'

Tarsonis coughs loudly.

Tarsonis says 'I mean Regent'

Tarsonis says 'Think the salty brine caught my throat for a little there'

Tarsonis coughs loudly.

Tarsonis says 'Pardon my pronunciation '

 

Leothyre nods, looking slightly relieved. He looks down at his hands for a moment, studying them. 'Karishin, is it?'

Leothyre nods at Karishin. More specifically, at the combat visor. 'I am assuming you are with the Warmaster camp?

Karishin nods, 'That's right.

Karishin says 'Karishin Jores- Barbarian of the Camp.'

 

Tarsonis crosses his arms and stands confidently tall.

Tarsonis nods at Karishin.

 

Karishin says 'I am still not entirely clear on who you are though.'

Karishin nods slightly to Leothyre.

Leothyre comes back to his senses, shaking his head. He extends a hand. 'My name is Leothyre.'

Karishin eyes the hand with a moment of hesitation and then reaches out and shakes it, before retracting once more.

Karishin says 'Nice to meet you.'

Leothyre coughs a bit more. 'I was once in charge of the Praetorian Guard with the Knights.' He looks off in the distance. 'That was years ago.' He looks over at Tarsonis.

Tarsonis nods at Leothyre.

Leothyre says 'If the date was as you said it was....it's been the better part of...seventy years?'

Leothyre says 'Give or take?'

Karishin says 'Must've been. I've never laid eyes on you before and I've fought all the Knight's I could find.'

Karishin chuckles, 'Makes sense. I am only just over thirty.

Tarsonis says 'One of the finest warriors I've ever met, If I do say so myself'

Karishin shakes his head slightly, 'Elves..

Karishin says 'Leothyre is?'

Karishin says 'I'll have to test that later.'

Leothyre nods his head, chuckling. 'Believe me, brother...the years have not been kind to me.'

Tarsonis says 'Knew no equal when we both raced across the battlefield against the darkness'

Tarsonis nods at Karishin.

Karishin eyes the half drowned elf-'When you are feeling better.

Tarsonis says 'Such instilled confidence that he was still alive'

Karishin says 'So who is this Valerion fellow and this King you are so excited about?'

Leothyre seems to stand a bit taller. 'I have plenty to catch up on.'

Karishin says 'Yes, the Knights will need more troops- we will be at war again soon.'

Karishin winks at Tarsonis.

 

Leothyre takes a quick glance at his banner. 'Valerion....goodness. How much time do you have?' He lets out a weak laugh.

Karishin shrugs helplessly.

Karishin says 'No enemies currently.'

Tarsonis smirks.

Karishin mutters, 'Thanks to pew.

 

Tarsonis says 'Indeed. His story is a long one'

Karishin grins evilly at Tarsonis.

Leothyre tilts his head. 'What's a pew?'

Karishin says 'That's a good question.'

Karishin nods at Tarsonis.

Karishin says 'A fool is what I am inclined to answer.'

Tarsonis says 'A minotaur warrior of the Warmaster camp'

Karishin says 'But currently a not so Warmasterly-Warmaster.'

 

Leothyre snorts at the comments. He nods. 'I've known one or two of those. Fiesty fella?'

Karishin says 'Oh contrare.'

Karishin says 'He is the one who made peace.'

Leothyre rummages around his backpack.

Leothyre drinks milk from a barrel of milk.

Karishin says 'Because he got afraid of a Mage.'

Karishin says 'That too is a long story.'

Karishin says 'You tell yours first- more pressing.'

 

Leothyre furls his lips, confused. 'Ahh.'

Karishin says 'Just shipwrecked after all.'

Leothyre nods.

 

Tarsonis says 'I knew him when he was young. Right before your disappearance '

Karishin says 'So what brought you here.. Leothyre?'

Tarsonis says 'Since then... he has grown into a formidable combatant'

Leothyre sits down and thinks deeply.

Tarsonis says 'Although he heeds my talks of peace between the Warmaster and Knight'

Karishin says 'A sad day when the enemy has kinder things to say about a fellow Warmaster than I do.'

Tarsonis says 'As you can gather, this one desires to continue war'

Karishin says 'No, he bent the knee to you lot.'

Tarsonis motions over to Karishin.

Karishin nods.

 

Leothyre nods. 'First...what of the war with Syndicate? I have had much remorse that I signed the vendetta shortly before my departure.

Leothyre looks at Tarsonis. 'Have they removed the Cartel from Miruvhor?'

Tarsonis says 'Much to get you caught up on... you've the strength, Leothyre?'

Karishin raises an eyebrow.

Leothyre says 'And what of Kyros? Who heads the syndicate now?'

Tarsonis says 'Id see you recover that first.'

Leothyre starts to ask another question, and then stops himself.

Tarsonis says 'I could welcome you to your old quarters and have my squire bring you some hot food.'

Leothyre nods. He looks up at the cliffs to the east. 'So..Valerion is not back here, either.'

Tarsonis throws Leothyre a warm cloak from his sack.

Tarsonis says 'Put that on and keep yourself warm.'

 

Leothyre lets out a long sigh. He pulls the cloak around him as the breeze picks up. 'He....I don't know what happened.' He glances over at Karishin. 'You've not heard the name before?

 

Tarsonis says 'Yes, he went missing a short while after you'

Leothyre plops down in the sand.

Tarsonis says 'I thought him most certainly dead. '

Tarsonis says 'Unless you've uncovered other news in your search of him'

Tarsonis says 'As for the Syndicate, we've done what we could to keep them at bay'

Leothyre errantly eyes the banner. He shakes his head. 'I actually set out to find the King.'

Leothyre sighs.

Tarsonis nods at Leothyre.

 

Tarsonis says 'Good, then you have taken on an important task'

Leothyre says 'Valerion and I had uncovered a plot which led us to believe that, wherever he is, his life was in grave danger.'

Tarsonis says 'One that we've lacked the resources as of late to embark on'

Karishin says 'Aye, I've never heard of a Valerion.'

Leothyre nods.

Leothyre continues. 'I recieved word that Valerion had just abandoned his bunk in the Castle, and disappeared.'

Tarsonis says 'Yes... that sums up what happened'

Tarsonis says 'The syndicate were hot on his trail'

Tarsonis says 'After having betrayed his pact t othem'

Leothyre looks over at Karishin. 'Techincally speaking...Valerion was a Prince, in the blood line of King Cormac.'

Karishin says 'King Cormac..'

 

Karishin> You say 'King Cormac..'

Karishin says 'Think I read that name in the Library.'

Karishin says 'Ah yes.. and there's some shelf about it.'

 

Leothyre frowns. 'Though...the long story summed up quickly, he was born under nefarious circumstance, and was cursed with vampirism.'

Leothyre nods. 'Absolutely.'

Karishin raises an eyebrow.

Karishin says 'I thought you said he was a Knight?'

Karishin scratches his head, looking very confused.

 

Leothyre glances over at his tattoo. 'In a testament to the true power of our God above, though, our Lord broke the chains of death binding Valerion.' He nods at Karishin.

Karishin rubs his chin, 'Hrm.

Leothyre says 'He cleansed Valerion, after which Valerion took after both our father's path, and joined the Order.'

Karishin says 'Never heard of anything like that before. Then again.. I don't know much about Vampires either.'

Tarsonis says 'It is as you suspect Karishin'

Tarsonis nods at Karishin.

Tarsonis nods at you in agreement.

Karishin says 'I have the skin of one though.'

Karishin stops using the skin of Umbrasi.

Karishin wears the skin of Umbrasi about his body.

Leothyre nods. He glances at the skin, a smirk on his face. 'I like it...'

Tarsonis smirks.

Karishin sits down and thinks deeply.

Tarsonis looks at Karishin.

 

Karishin says 'No idea about your fathers..'

Leothyre chuckles, and continues. 'Valerion....struggled.'

Leothyre sighs.

Karishin says 'But I assume they were Knights.'

Karishin says 'Given your words.'

Leothyre nods. 'There were times that Valerion doubted his worth....I was sort of concerned for him.'

Tarsonis nods at Leothyre.

Tarsonis says 'I felt that as well, Leothyre'

Leothyre says 'Therefore, when I had word that he had deserted, I began trying to trace his path.'

Leothyre nods at Tarsonis. 'I knew you would as well, brother.'

 

Karishin says 'If he is a deserter perhaps it was for the best.'

Karishin shrugs helplessly.

Leothyre motions back to the sea. 'After years, and years, of searching, I felt the call to return home.'

Karishin says 'Then again, I do not know how you lot handle such things.'

Leothyre looks down at the wreckage in the sand, illuminated by each of your lights.

Tarsonis says 'We do not leave our brethren behind'

Tarsonis says 'Just as Leothyre went out to search for his cousin, I went out to search for Leothyre'

Leothyre glances back at the sea. 'Someone....or some-thing-, did not want me to return, you two....'

 

Leothyre nods at Tarsonis. 'There is no telling how close our paths crossed.'

Tarsonis nods at Leothyre.

Karishin looks out over the sea.

Karishin says 'Well, you made it none the less.'

Leothyre points back at the sea. 'The storm that overtook my boat, though....it was not natural.'

Karishin says 'Sorry to hear you didn't find your comrades though.'

Leothyre nods at Karishin. 'Praise be to the Lord, for both bringing me here as well as bringing you two to help me.'

Tarsonis says 'In my search of you, Leothyre, I felt an unnatural force seeking to destroy you'

Tarsonis says 'Perhaps it was what took down your ship'

Tarsonis bites his lip contemplatively.

Karishin says 'Mm.'

Tarsonis looks up at the sky.

Karishin sits down and thinks deeply.

Karishin shrugs helplessly.

Karishin says 'I know little of such things.'

 

Leothyre nods at Tarsonis. 'I would like to speak with you about that, soon. I...' He hesitates and becomes lost in his thoughts.

Leothyre sits down and thinks deeply.

Karishin says 'If you like I can leave you two to it.'

Leothyre says 'Something is looming on the horizon.'

Karishin raises an eyebrow.

Karishin says 'Looming?'

Leothyre looks over at Karishin. 'I feel you are here for a reason too, Sir.'

Karishin arches a brow, 'Aye. The Titan told me to investigate.

Karishin chuckles politely.

Karishin says 'Not much more beyond that though I'm afraid.'

Leothyre nods. 'The lack of peace that I felt, and what Tarsonis said that he sensed.'

Leothyre says 'It may not seem like that.'

Leothyre gives a polite little chuckle.

 

Tarsonis says 'Hmm. Than certainly, you also play a part in the future to come, Karishin'

Leothyre continues. 'That's the way the Lord works, though.

Leothyre nods.

Leothyre says 'Something has gone to great lengths to not only kill me, but to sew as much strife as what it sounds like is happening.'

Karishin says 'I'm just a simple sword-slinger. No real belief in any Gods or fate or anything.'

Karishin says 'Well, except Tongar of course. The Mighty Titan.'

Leothyre sighs and shakes his head. 'The Knights and the Warmasters going at it....' He frowns.

Tarsonis says 'Aye, I saw it the same, Loethyre'

Tarsonis nods in agreement.

Leothyre smiles and nods. 'Tongar...the Great Titan.'

Karishin nods.

Leothyre nods at Tarsonis.

 

Tarsonis says 'I am glad you made it back to us'

Tarsonis says 'In the time to come, I feel we will need you to lead us once more '

Leothyre says 'Karishin....I cannot speak for the Knights any longer, but I long to see the relations between the camp and the castle renewed.'

Tarsonis says 'To bolster our forces and stand against what seems to approach'

Leothyre smiles at Tarsonis. 'Your words are encouraging.'

Leothyre says 'I would help however I can.'

Karishin says 'The war is one of idealogy I'm afraid. At least it is for me and those who take my part.'

Leothyre says 'We need to be unified against what is to come.'

Tarsonis says 'It is certainly no coincidence that I find you here this day on this shore'

 

Leothyre nods at Karishin. 'I would love to discuss with you and your esteemed brothers.' He smiles widely at Tarsonis. 'No, brother, it is not.'

Tarsonis looks over at Karishin.

Leothyre clenches his fist. 'I have faith that our search for the King will be fruitful, however....until the time comes when the Crown has found it's home...'

Tarsonis says 'What say you, Karishin?'

Karishin says 'See... I think that's going to be a problem. This search for the King business.'

Leothyre says 'We should look to prepare the lands for such.'

Tarsonis says 'I know you to be a man with some reason. At least hear the man out. I've known Leothyre to be a reasonable person'

Tarsonis nods in enthusiastic agreement with Leothyre.

Karishin says 'Correct me if I am wrong, but you lot expect the whole of the Realm to bend the Knee to your King, aye?'

Tarsonis says 'Indeed, that is a matter that should be handled appropriately'

Karishin says 'As I told Lloth- Warmasters do not kneel.'

Tarsonis says 'That was in reference to Leothyre's comment, not yours, Karishin'

Tarsonis nods at Karishin.

Leothyre nods. 'This matter, though of grave importance, is one that can be conversed over at another time, my friend.

Karishin nods.

Karishin says 'Very well.'

Leothyre looks back at the cliffs. 'First things first....I would like to know what the state of affairs is like now.

Leothyre says 'I have many, many questions.'

Leothyre nods at the two of you. 'I am confident the Lord has brought you two to me for a reason.'

Karishin says 'Tarsonis will probably be of more help to you there, but I will answer what I can.'

Leothyre says 'I will need to pray for discernmennt.'

Tarsonis nods and speaks, 'Ask what you seek to know, I will do what I can to fill you in

Leothyre gets to his feet and dusts himself off.

Leothyre stands up.

 

Leothyre wields the Holy Partisan adorned with a starshard and holds it high.

Leothyre closes his eyes for a moment. 'Allow me some time to pray....I have much to think on.

Karishin nods.

Leothyre says 'I will return from meditation soon, and have plenty of questions to ask.'

Leothyre snickers softly.

Tarsonis says 'Aye'

Tarsonis says 'Take as much rest as you need'

Leothyre says 'Karishin...it was truly an honor. Thank you.'

Leothyre shakes Karishin's hand.

Leothyre says 'Tarsonis...'

Leothyre hugs Tarsonis.

Karishin says 'Well met.'

Karishin nods at Leothyre.

Leothyre says 'We have much to discuss, brother.'

 

Leothyre bows slightly at Karishin.

Tarsonis lets his muscles ease as he returns the hug.

Karishin bows slightly to Leothyre.

Tarsonis says 'It is so good to have you back with us, Leothyre'

Tarsonis sniffles.

Leothyre says 'God bless the both of you. I look forward to serving you once again.'

Tarsonis once again regains his posture as he stands up strong.

Leothyre takes a knee and bows his head. Lord be with the Castle, as well as the Camp. I shall see you two very soon.

Leothyre has left the lands.

 

Karishin says 'Well.  That was interesting.'

Tarsonis says 'Now Karishin, is there anything you wish to know?'

Tarsonis says 'I know you have not been around as long as I have. '

Tarsonis says 'Id be happy to fill you in on the older events'

Tarsonis says 'That have transpired before your time with the camp'

Karishin shrugs slightly, 'I think most of them will make little mark on me. I am not a consequential person.

Karishin chuckles politely.

 

Karishin says 'You lot in the Castle seem to think much bigger and grander goals and desires.'

Karishin says 'Warmasters are much more simple.'

Karishin says 'Neither is bad, just different.'

Tarsonis says 'The warmasters goals, I have indeed understood'

Tarsonis says 'And per our previous conversations, yes'

Tarsonis says 'I still understand your aims'

Tarsonis says 'Indeed you lot hunger for battle'

Tarsonis says 'But I would encourage you to hear out Leothyre's words'

Karishin says 'To be the best at such.'

Karishin shrugs, 'Sure, I'll listen.

Karishin says 'I don't think he'll change my mind though.'

Karishin says 'But hey, it may not even matter.'

Tarsonis says 'Aye, in the end, your choice is but your own'

Karishin says 'Pew agreed to end war with the Knights but kept it going with the Nexus- the broken and weak Nexus.'

Karishin says 'Do you know how that makes us look?'

Karishin says 'Cowering to the strong and fighting the weak?'

Tarsonis says 'I've seen many more Nexians on the rise'

Karishin says 'So, if this is not corrected then I shall no longer be a Warmaster.'

Tarsonis says 'Deldritch, an invoker... Draug is no slouch either'

Karishin says 'I will not shame the Camp.'

Tarsonis says 'And the Syndicate are  stronger than ever'

Karishin says 'Like it is being shamed right now.'

Karishin says 'The point is, the same one who was the architect of the alliance was also the architect of ending the war with you but keeping it with the Nexus.'

Karishin says 'Fishy if you ask me.'

 

Tarsonis says 'From my front, I only see the Knights doing what they can to fend off all their foes and combatents'

Karishin says 'We all are, that's the beauty of it.'

Tarsonis says 'Fighting for reprieve to fight the battles that truly matter'

Karishin says 'But Pew seemingly wants us to simply be the errand boys of the Knights.'

Karishin says 'And that forces me to be even firmer in my stance against you lot.'

Tarsonis says 'Do as you must, but still... hear the man out. I've full confidence in Leothyre'

Tarsonis says 'He had earned my respect and trust long ago'

Tarsonis says 'I pray you will see the same in him as I did'
