*A meeting near Hempstead *
« on: October 13, 2014, 11:51:56 am »
// Event presented to Elohanna, Andrew Reid and Kaelan, if any char outside this want to participate, shoot me a pm please with how would you like to participate, and we'll work a way to get you involved, please don't post in the thread unless specifically invited by the involved in an IC fashion.


*The trip back to Mistone was without major incident, a couple of days lost on due a storm but aside that all went well thru the travel, the ship docked safely in Leringard and the caravan made good time from Trelania to Brelin and near the City of Gold itself, you may even had the time to check back on the guildstore if you want, finally the time for the meeting has arrived, as you aproach the Traveler's post.

As you come closer you notice 3 people waiting there, the three of them dressed in the colors of the Silverguard two of them armed as well, the third one its a familiar face, Emily the wizardess that was present during the events of the meeting, the trio present themselves once you approach.

*A young man in his early 20's speaks for the group, once you all acknowledge each other, and after a small gesture by Emily to him*

-Greetings Miss and Mister Raid, I am glad that you arrived in timely fashion, hope that the trip has been pleaseant and without incident, My name is Lieutenient Jorgun Stridesmit, I have come in behalf of Captain Rae to escort you to the meeting place, with me is Lieutenieant Emily Wang, and Private Rogeri Dan*

*Emily seems concentrated into something, and the private standing guard near her, They await for your reply and acknowledgement *

__________________________________________________________

In the meantime in other place, in a small outpost tower outside the city, there are preparations done, The silverhair aproaches to the a place prepared, and hears the Captain Rae and the Protector exchanging words.

Protector :" I Told you that this is no good idea, there is nothing that has changed in the case*

Captain Rae:  "I have heard you , friend and you know that i take your wise advice in account, but I at least would give them the chance to present the case, we'll see how things go after that*

Relaxed and in good spirits after time spent uninterrupted with his wife, Andrew bows to Lieutenant Emily and then the rest of the assemblage. His genial mien shifts over a few minutes, however, to one of focus and the set of his jaw bespeaks both an opinion, and questions yet unanswered.

Knowing that Captain Rae

Knowing that Captain Rae prefers to do things privately and securely, especially in their case.  Elohanna addresses Emily directly, notincing the look of concentration displayed on her features. "I understand your hesitation and your concern, if there is anything we can do in the moment to alleviate some concerns. Feel free to ask.Lieutenant Wang,  Otherwise the reason for us being here, would be best explained to Captain Rae, in a more secure location."

Elohanna keeps mindful herself of changes in the Al'noth for anything out of the ordinary, that could compromise the safety of their meeting from subtle changes in the energy, to any attempts to scry on her or Andrew.

*The man nods once at the words and looks upon Emily for a moemnt before returning the sight towards Andrew and Elly*

- Its not my place to question your motives ma'am, I am just following orders here, Once the inspection provided by Leiutenient Wang is concluded, we'll be escorting you to the meeting place if all.

*The concentration by Emily finishes some seconds after the man had finished speaking and she gives a small nod at him*

- Everything seems in order, please acompany us, this way please-

*They lead you to a charriot that is being brought by other two members of the Silverguard, the wagon is simple but confortable, with enough space to acomodate six people, the vehicle does a short trip till the very same tower on the outskirts of Hempstead where the first meeting took place, the place seems calm some guard around the door, Emily takes leads here and nods at the other two silverguards*

*As they walk inside the tower, being escorted by other two guards, Emily speaks*

- It was a surprise to hear that you'll be coming, Of course I'd wish that the circunstances of our metings were diferent, I heard what that stone caused, and all the tragedies that happened during those days, makes one wonder how much was bad luck and how much was careful planning -

*She looks over to you, observing you as you start to walk up the stairs of the tower *

"Careful planning. Indeed. I've wondered that to a great extent myself. But we'll save that for the conversation with Captain Rae, shall we?"

She gentle squeezes her husbands hand, seeming content to wait for the arrival of Captain Rae, her mind still set on carefully monitoring even the most subtle change in the Al'noth for intrusion or manipulation either from the room or outside.

*The stairs are passed fast, the place seems to be exactly as you remember it, like an eternal stone without change, Emily lead the way confidently till you reach to a door inside the tower, she smiles at you , then asking the guards to remain outside vigilant, to that the two guards salute her and she opens the door allowing you two to enter, she enters last*

*Inside the room are waiting the two familiar faces of Captain Rae, and the Protector, the first attaired in an officer uniform  of the Silverguard, his regal posture and now parts of his hair and moustache start to show some gray just to make him look a bit more interesting, on the other side the martial figure of "The Protector" Standing stoically some steps away of the captain, he observes you two with a severe expression, but neutral face, the Rofirenite nods at you, greeting and acknowledging your presence but doesn't say a thing after, its the Good captain who speaks *

- Welcome Miss Elohanna and Mister Andrew Reid, its been a while,  please take a seat, you came in time and fashion -

*he smiles a bit as he getures to some glasses and a bottle of wine served in front of him for you, and a couple of seats that looks confortable*

The bard waits until his wife takes a seat then sits next to her. He does not pour wine for himself, although he offers to do so for Elly. He is all focus and for once not excessively chatty.

She takes her place in the seat offered for them, and politely declines the wine, "Thank you Captain Rae, but I must decline, however feel free if you wish. I hope the news we bring will brighten your day as well and be worth the expense of such a treat."

I am on duty milady, so I'll have to pass for now, yet that doesn't prevent me to offer and show manners *nods slowly, then looks at you two*

What can I do for you, Milady and sir ?

She gets right to the point

She gets right to the point of the meeting so as not to take up to much of the Captains time, "I do appreciate you being so thoughtful Captain, but the reason we are here are to share our findings so far. You see I do not like being away from the school, or Port Hempstead for as long as we have been, and we have been doing our best to try to clear our names."

*The Captain looks back at you and lean a bit forward to rest his chin on his hands attentive, the protector give him a look, to which the Captain just looks at him back and with gentle gestures back to Elohanna and Andrew*

I am sure of it, It has been a very unlucky chain of events that had led us to the situation we are now, I am deeply sorry that the situation turned out the way it has, alas i know that you understand it was done for the sake of Hempstead, With the disclaimer out of the way ....

*he looks at you two again* - I am listening.

She nodded and respectfully continued.

"You see Captain Rae, we have been trying to determine, who and how someone has been scrying on us. We come to find that it was those responsible for Andrew's double. They used him to place nails in those places where we lived and worked, in places they knew were important to us. They were so easy to overlook, and it wasn't until we pushed, hard enough that would found them. We have since gone through and had each and every nail replaced. We know for sure these were the source of Andrew being scyed upon. I know this doesn't exactly clear my name, but it should help to clear his."

"I could feel it, in the Silver Buckle, Captain, and I kept pushing, searching for the source of the scrying on us, and I could feel it, within the pull, very close, and I kept pushing until I found them, the nails had been turnd into a focus for them to scry on us. We checked and had the Angel's shop also checked, any place that the double had been, and we found them there too.

We enlisted aid and had the nails all changed. We have drained the scrying pool in the inn. We have increased protections of both places.

There is a chance before all of this began however and I brought our possible compromise to your attention that other places such as the Tower Academy and the Guild Hall, any other place he may have visited could have similar nails.

This is a very specific use of the Al'noth that we are now familar with, and I don't believe that without our help, you can find. But we need a chance to help the city, to make sure there are no other places that are left compromised.

We are asking of you Captain Rae to let us help the city, we love so much, in fixing this situation, and continue to make things right. For us, and for your security of the city as well."

*Upon this revelation, the captain turns over to Emily, she as if being asked a silent question does a step forward, and she speaks, as if replying the question that never happened*

- Technically its posible to do so, and it would requiere indeed a lot of preparation to do so many focus,in order to be effectively able to scry an area using such focuses, theoretically ot had to be done using plenty of small focuses in order to prevent a huge show of magic -

*The captain nods at her and speaks*  

- Thank you Lieuteniant -

*Then turning towards Elohanna and Andrew * Do you have means to get one of those nails for evidence and checking by our experts?

*He waits a moment to get a reply for this, then continues *

This is indeed a dangerous thing, I assume that what you are implying is that the double of your husband was able to plant this nails huh? -

*He looks at you awaiting for the reply, concern on his voice *

"We can provide some example nails although we didn't keep any in the Buckle for obvious reasons. We assume it was my double that planted them, of course. 

"I'd like to point out that this could have been done to any building anywhere in the world. And I'm quite sure I'm not the only person to have been replaced - I'm hardly a political asset. As a side mention, I have not heard one note of what happened to my double after he was exposed." Short and sweet. His expression is carefully neutral but his jaw remains set.

'Andrew is Right, We assume that it was him, as we think he was the only one with such an opprotunity to do so.  But yes we can supply some of these nails to help Emily, I do ask that you allow me to aid you though, I know what to look for, how it feels. If you would allow me?"

Remaining in the background, as ever - the elf with the silver hair and the painted face, a chain of small, engraved links made of different sorts of metal (but all, it seems, with a certain amount of silver within the alloy) wrapped around his right arm. He did neither speak, nor did the small, amused smile disappear from his face. Good news, and not good news. There was a chance for them now, indeed - yet a dangerous one. Rhyme and Reason bounced back and forth in his head, with less than good results, and so he remained silent. Nothing to say, really.
