"So that the parents of these soon to be hatchlings that he left for dead can watch him die! I wanted to kill the bastard there and then, but my duties as Eagle Knight, and member of my clan required that I do everything i could to give those sinned agains could see justice with their own eyes."

As Starbeak prepares the Duskplume Clan rights of birth, he lets it known through the embassy that a human Andoran citizen tried to smuggle the eggs of tengu citizens of Andoran to Absalom to sell for slavery. Starbeak stopped them them in port. The Duskplume Clan settled in Augustana 25 years ago and considers themselves part of Andoran. There hatchings are traditionally public. All Andoran citizens and soldiers are welcome as are Andoran pathfinders.

Except the smuggler who confessed on the spot after attacking a Lance Corporal Eagle night and losing. The was brought to embassy prison for extradition half an hour after Starbeak went to the roof. Starbeak wonders what will become of him, will he be executed Augustana or Almas?

Gratefully the young man touches his fellows hand and gains strength. His expression softens at the presence of a fellow tengu.

While rearanging the basket he says

"Thank you brother. I am Druid Starbeak of the Duskplume clan as well as a Lance Corporal to the Eagle Kights. I am one of my clan's three priests. I have to be there when they hatch. Would you do my clan the honor of witnessing these hatchings with me when you get off duty? Assuming you shift ends in three hours or you can get someone to cover for you that is."

The fact that the parents aren't there to witness the hatching is a clear give away to a fellow tengu that this was another egg theft foiled via rescue. Starbeak wonders if others will catch on.

A wounded tengu walks into the local Andoran embassy in Absalom. to those that can read his avian features he looks PISSED. He has the markings a lance corporal but is clearing wearing woodman's gear and the symbol of the green faith hangs around his neck. He looks injured, but not in any life threatening danger. Tengu eggs held in a VERY well protected basket he is holding. Any who know much about medicine or nature would recognize that the eggs are a few hours from hatching. The eggs have red dye on them in symbols that read "Children of the Duskplume Clan" in tengu.

A Tengu walks and overhears a a whisper about freedom, he is wearing the blue of an Andoran warrior and a symbol of Pharasma around his neck

"Is there anything wrong, friend?"

He asks politely.

"Andoran is the only place the Duskplume clan has ever truly been greeted with open arms. Were it not for Andoran, my clan may have been forced into servitude after the eye of Abendego in order to survive. If I were to do any less than my utmost effort to defend this country and spread the freedom it offers, I would face Pharasma a shameful failure when it is my time to go the boneyard."

Says a young Tengu who seemed to be staring off into space up till now. Holding his ale mug into the air he says.

"For the freedom of all people of all races of all clans in the world!"

*He downs the large drink in a single gulp*

Indeed Varisian common folk need to look upon us as allies. They should know they are not alone.
