Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

-

Auron after still fighting his intial shock of everyone telling him he has been gone for six months or better begins to speak again.

"I wish there was a grand tale to tell you of what has happened or where I have been but it has only felt like a few days since I last was at the chapter house. I was patrolling the Fields of the Dead as is custom for me when I have no immediate orders. It was shortly after the Dukes had called members of the order to meet with them to open up trade with the town of Triel in the following weeks. So I set to the fields for i knew I would not be able to keep an eye on them for many weeks to come most likely. When I found an undead practioneer of the weave that was extremely advanced he clearly outmatched me but I fought with every power and piece of strength Torm has blessed me with when there was a flash of light and then darkness for a second followed by I was suddenly back in the fields and the wizard was gone. So I returned to find I was missing for many months."

Afterwards Auron asks for any news he should know and hears of the troubles of the Town of Triel. Afterward he asks for the fastest horse to carry him to fight beside his brothers in the protection of the town.

A well trained, armed and stern-faced monk in blue robe showing the symbol of Candlekeep on a badge on his left arm bows politely to the guards outside of the Radiant Heart Chapterhouse, before handing one of them a sealed envelope, saying "A letter to the Radiant Heart from the Guide of Candlekeep." He then turns on his heals and walks back south.

// PM sent.

Borbag is seen entering the Chapterhouse grounds with a young mule in tow. Those with a good eye are able to spot a single gleam down his cheek.

"Come Lucky Jr. Let me show you your new home."

Movement is seen behind the walls of the Radiant Heart. A messenger rushes out as the gates barely part.

Many other squires leave in a hurry. When asked on their return they give no answer and simply enter the chapterhouse.

The trained watcher may notice, far more men enter the grounds than had left. Far more.

Movement to the North. Another allied force strikes at the Black orcs, from two fronts. Our only mission to rescue the bodies of the Silver Roses fallen. With the archers in sight of the fallen bodies, the combatants on the hill charge the beasts guarding the orcs. With the orcs looking to the hill, the mages and archers strike from below and manage to gather the fallen, while all retreat.

The four bodies gathered by Brother Elric are placed on Lucky Jr., who is handed off to sir Uriel Honorblade. Borbag's faithful friend carrying the dead that so deserve rest.

A minor victory in the scheme of a looming war, but duty demands that it be done and so it is done.

His luster grows.

*Azeem walks up to the front gate and drops off something in a large cloth sack and addresses the gate guard* I am Azeem Abdul-Hadi High Ranger of the Elder Circle and I was recently involved in a battle to the north with a few of your knight Juez and Arkaine that I know of. This here sack contains a dead black orc and is a gift to the order perhaps one of your ranking priests can find a way to commune with the dead spirit of this fowl creatures and learn some secrets that it may hold. *Azeem bows deeply to the guard and walks off leaving the dead orc with the gate guard*


This was Part of DM Novus event near Triel.

The man-at-arms refuses the corpse and informs the druid that raising a dead orc for interrogation is nothing short of a dishonorable and somewhat barbaric act. They will have no part in such a ritual nor would they use necromancy spells to speak with a corpse. He apologizes for the inconvenience but asks politely that you remove the corpse from the Orders gates.

*Valiant walks by and shakes his head at the Man-At-Arms*

When Azeem leaves the Grove, Kyree slips from her tree to accompany him. When the man-at-arms refuses the Orc corpse she leans in close to Azeem and speaks very quietly.

"Let me take it brother. I will ask that wizard that I spoke about earlier if he knows of any way or anyone who can retrieve information from it. I believe he has access to the great library at Candlekeep. If it cannot be done, I will see it buried deep within the woods where it's body can nourish new things. Now the spark has fled it is but meat, and we owe no honor to one such as this."

She steps forward and with a quick movement of her hands she wraps the sack in a protective cocoon of energy. She turns to the man-at-arms and inclines her head. "We meant no offense, we merely sought to leave no stone unturned and had heard that you numbered a Spirit Shaman among your ranks. I will remove it and see it taken care of. Do not be alarmed at what you see next, for I will change shape now, the better to carry it from your gates."

Energy gathers about her and in a burst of light she shifts into the form of a huge bear. Azeem secures the body on her back, and she rumbles deep in her throat then moves away quickly.

The man-at-arms bows fist over heart and thanks the druids for removing the body.

Ameris is seen in Baldur's Gate stocking up on medical supplies, particularly those suitable for treating trauma and serious injury. His requests of the merchants indicate a degree of urgency.
