* Seth sends notice to all Knights, Squires, and Honorary members of the Order of the Silver Rose*

My Brothers and Sisters, since the recovery of our fallen knights from Triel, I have spent every spare moment researching and studying the ritual to bring back our fallen knights. I have come to the conclusion that NOW is the time to resurrect and return their souls back to the realm of the living, the gods permitting. I will take two wagons and 10 of our knights to retrieve, then escort their remains from the temple of Tyr in Baulders Gate, back to our own keep. Upon reaching our keep their bodies shall be prepared for the ressurection for a 24 hour period. And on the third day I request that all Knight Generals, the Commander, and as many Knights, squires, and honorary members that do have the time, join me in the ritual to return them to the Realm of the living, their family, and friends.

Seth Siger
Knight General of the Order of the Silver Rose

////Time of the Ressurection ritual is planned for Our regular OSR meeting time on Sunday evening. This will be a Player run RP event for OSR members (Knights and Squires) and honorary members only.

//// This is postponed due to Seth having a bad virus on his computer... so we will not be having this, this evening.

*Ameris, Cleric of the Order of the Radiant Heart, leaves a note with the Silver Rose gate guards*

*Lady Elvina sends a response right away*
(( pm sent ))

*Lady Elvina posts several important notices and letters on the private bulletin board and patrol log this morning as she sifts through the pile of paperwork that she's trying to catch up on*

*Seth took a procession of 10 Knights with 2 wagons in tow. They solemnly marched towards Baulders Gate. On their way to retrieve their fallen from the temple of Tyr.Their trip was uneventful, save the few curious onlookers that they would pass by along the way. Assistance was offered more than once, which Seth respectfully declined. For this was an internal and personal matter for the Silver Rose.

Upon reaching the city gates of Baulders Gate, Seth instructed 2 of the knights to turn the wagons and tend to their horses outside the city gates. Seth and the remaining knights proceeded slowly and in formation, to the temple of Tyr. They stopped upon reaching the temple and filed inside one by one. Once inside Seth informed Father Eldric Sulnar of their purpose, and requested the remains of their fallen.

Once the bodies were secured to the stretchers, the bodies were carried outside the temple by two knights each. Outside the temple they proceeded to the front gates in single formation, and single file, led by Seth. At the gates Seth stood in reverence as they passed him one by one.

They then were loaded onto the wagons, two per wagon, with great care. Once secured they began their journey home solemnly, in formation, with Seth in front leading the way, followed by two wagons, one behind the other, surrounded by 5 knights on either side of the wagons.

All they passed seemed to sense what was happening, and stood aside as they passed. Even the Fist guard stood to attention as they passed along the Wyrm bridge.

When they approached our keep, Commander Elvina stood waiting for their arrival. Elvina and Seth stood in solemn reverence as our fallen were unloaded and carried into the keep. They were taken into our infirmery where they are being prepared, and lie in wait for ressurection.*

Ameris delivers a letter to the OSR keep.

*Aaron writes out a missive to Squire Lazarus*

Squire, the Order asks that those who desire knighthood display certain qualities. Three of these involve a display of combat prowess, living the code, and ability to communicate with others. As your mentor my first task for you will will involve all three, and will be to aid the city of Baldur's Gate. It has come to my attention that a band of thugs has taken residence in the sewers below the city. A community of the homeless are being threatened and what little they have is being taxed by these miscreants. Your mission is to enter the sewers and remove as many of these criminals as possible, especially the leader. Please seek to take them into custody and to the Fist compound, if possible, only using your blade as a last resort.

Once the criminals are dealt with, take time to administer to the poor within the community in the sewers. See to healing, curing disease, feeding, and clothing them as best you can. Upon your return to the Keep please leave a missive that the task has been completed, as well as leave a short discourse on how humility and charity play a part in the life of a Knight. Should you wish, take traveling companions with you that are trustworthy. Should you have need of me or questions, feel free to contact me. Good luck in your task.

/// Of course the NPC bandits wont give up, but RP it how you wish. Might be able to work what you do into a bigger storyline. Hope you have a good time with it.

*Lazarus receives the missive and takes a moment to read over it before folding it and storing it in his belt pouches, he then makes his way to the Temple of Tyr where he can be seen in meditation and thoughtful consideration.*

[ArtOfLight]

*Several days later, the same squire can be seen escorting two individuals from the Palace District sewers toward the Flaming Fist Castle in Baldur's Gate. Both individuals appear relatively unharmed but bound and there is nothing but silence between the three.

The squire then leaves the two individuals at the castle entrance in the hands of the posted men and sets off toward the eastern gate of the city.*

*Seth sits in a small clearing in the woods. He watches the flames from his campfire dance to the crackling of the burning embers. He speaks, to no one in particular, of his experiences, thoughts, and feelings towards the last several months. He is quite aware he is alone, but it matters not for he is confident Gwaeron Windstrom hears him. Even if he gets no response, He is quite happy to carry on the one sided conversation.
Seth hears a rustle behind the trees, beyond the campfire. Then hears a sniffing to his left and slightly behind him. He turns to look and see's a wolf standing there taking in the aroma of the cooking rabbit Seth has roasting on a stick over the campfire. "Ah hello my friend" Seth says." like the smell of that do you?" The Wolf turns to look Seth in the eyes. As he does, Seth is intrigued by the crystal blue purity of the wolf's eyes. "Hungry are you?" Seth asks as he removes the golden roasted rabbit from the flames and offers the rabbit in whole to the wolf. The wolf gently and carefully takes hold of the meat and pulls it from the stick it was cooked upon, and disappears into the wood. Just then Seth feels the presence of another to his right. He turns to look, another wolf, with glowing blue eyes stares him in the face. Before Seth can react or speak, Seth hears a voice in his mind "Now is the Time."
Seth awakes suddenly in his bed knowing what he must do. He quickly gets dressed and informs the guards " Gather all that can be gathered of the membership, it is time to raise our fallen"*

[Bassman]

*Seth awaits as the available Knights gather in the infirmery in the keep. Standing in reverant silence as they, one by one, file in. He is joined by Commander Elvina Aira-S'efarro, Knight General Uriel Honorblade, Knight General Svala Yngvildr, Knight Warrant Laura Brisbane, Knight Errant Cyrus Stonehold, Knight Warrant Missy Littlefoot, and Sir John Francis Knight Commander of Neverwinter OSR, all were there as well as several other Knights and Squires.

Seth looks to them all "thank you all for coming" he says. "Last night I had a dream, I will not go into details, but suffice it to say, Gwaeron Windstrom made it clear to me, that now was the time for the ressurection ritual to commence" He continues. "Please no speaking and pray along silently with me as I perform the ritual to raise our fallen Knights."

Seth proceeds to place a single Diamond onto the center of each of the four fallen Knights, nestling each diamond into the fold between the thumbs and forefingers of each of their folded hands. Seth then stands over the first Knight, begins to sprinkle holy water over the body and starts to pray:

"My lord Gwaeron Windstrom, I pray to thee with all humility. To ask your mercy, compassion, and strength. Guide the souls of these honorable Knights back to the realm of the living. Guide them past the pitfalls and forked roads that would detour their return.
Ask of the Gods of the House of the Triad, Tyr god of justice and truth, Torm god of duty and loyalty, and Illmater god of perserverance and suffering, to release their souls to you to guide their way back to their family and friends.
Take from me the price, of which the gods would require, and resurrect this Knight of the Silver Rose!"

Seth then casts ressurection on the first body. The glow of a magical light can be seen engulfing the entire body. And when the light subsides, Seth stumbles not saying a word. Elvina steps to his side, and reaches for his arm to steady him. His face can be seen as to be flushed, as if some of his very essence had been drained. Sister Mary Catherine stands over the body and feels for a pulse from the Knight as the magical light decipates. " He has a pulse!" She exclaims. Seth smiles tiredly, feeling somewhat drained.

Seth then approaches the second knight, begins to sprinkle holy water over the body, repeats the prayer, and casts ressurection. Seth knees almost buckle as again he feels himself being drained as payment to the gods.

Elvina whispers to him in concern, seeing the effects it is having on him "Seth...." He interrupts her saying" I'm alright, if we are to do this , now is the time" Uriel steps up and takes hold of his other arm to steady him.

Seth then approaches the third Knight, begins to sprinkle holy water over the body, repeats the prayer, and casts ressurection. Seth's head begins to spin as the gods take their due upon him. If not for Elvina's and Uriel's support in steadying him, he surely would have fallen to his knees.

He takes a deep breath and closes his eye insearch for strength, before he approaches the fourth fallen Knight. Seth steps beside the fourth Knight, Feeling himself bathed in sweat, and begins to carry on the ritual. He sprinkles the holy water over the body, repeats the prayer, and casts ressurection on the fourth fallen Knight. Seth can feel the toll of the Gods due, as he completes the incantation and the magical swirling light over the body begins to fade. Elvina and Uriel help Seth to a chair as his knees give out. His focus never wavering till he see's the fourth knight begin to breathe.

Once the fourth Knight began to breathe, the first Knight's eyes begin to open. Sister Mary Catharine says, "congratulations Sir Seth, all four have returned to us." Seth smiles as he goes to his knees to say a prayer in gratitude to Gwaeron Windstrom for returning their four fallen Knights back to them in the realm of the living.
