Noting the man's pain, Akela gets up and walks sedately over to tap the man on the shoulder with a touch of magic. Deverau's wounds begin to seal even before Akela returns to his chair.
Cure light 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Akela, human again, rushes in.
I brought the chief h.....
Upon seeing Lindynt already engaged he cuts off mid sentence and backs out, trying and failing to be discreet.
Lindynt, in this audience accusations and rancor will be level at you concerning the Kobold tribe. I would ask that the chief be there with you to help meet them as they come.
Pulling him away from prying eyes, Akela continues more softly.
And one more thing, I will be there as well if I can, but watch.
Akelas form blurs and melts into that of a Dog, who stares up knowingly at the Knight.
8 hours on the wildshape thanks to Beast of the Society trait
"We are quite confident at this point, and Im afraid they are far less mythical than I would like. But we have actually come to glean what we can from a source who has, perhaps, more insight on the subject."
Still seated like an island of calm, the shaman gestures to the Chief beside him.
Lord Auroral is the legitimate heir of Reinholdt, and before then was his staunch defender. Before our arrival, a section of the keep's guards rebelled against Reinholdt and seized the castle. Then-Knight Auroral rallied our small band to Reinholdt's aid and retook the Keep. It was in this fight that Reinholdt's life ended.
As the servant returns with wine, Akela pauses to pour a glass. Taking a draught, he continues, speaking deliberately.
The beastmen were likewise divided, one faction allying with the rebels, and their legitimate leader here, He gestures beside him has sided with us. We have agreed to a truce pending official discussion.
Noting the unease in the men before him, Akela tops off their glasses.
You will, of course be able to examine Auroral's claim. It is legitimate, and will stand scrutiny. Furthermore you will hear the full details of this incident shortly. I would like the rest of our gathering to be present before we continue much further.
Akela sweeps into the receiving room where Jegar and Tybalt already wait.
He still wears the the same faded blue robes and Wolf pelt, but the day old bloodstains have obscured much of the original color.
Taking a seat oppostite the pair, he speaks calmly,m
I am sure you must have many questions. The Lord Auroral will be here shortly, but for the moment perhaps I can allay some of your concerns.
I am Akela the Wolf, a Blue Mage.
After checking the rest of the tribe for injuries, Akela Chants solemnly before laying his hand on the chief. Casting Share Languages, granting the chief perfect Romandan for 24 hours
Come now, we must get this sorted.
and Akela strides purposefully into the keep with the chief in tow.
Akela is ill suited to most of those roles, but would happily act as an adviser. Though his wilderness connection makes him an excellent tracker and a sutble "Eyes and Ears"
But Lindynt would remember how just yesterday Akela stated how he is loyal to his own ways more than to Romanda.
If the rest of you approve, i had this in my Army NPC Project folder.

hate to be a stickler, but usually there is no doubling up on domains or stheir subdomains. If its fine with the dm, im fine, but perhaps another domain would broaden the character a bit. Nobility or Glory would lean towards Kingdom Building.
"Fare thee well, Reinholdt, and Goddess, I thank you for the honor you have shown me. Its more welcome than an old wildman like me could have hoped for."
To his new comrades he adds "Tomorrow I will be preparing to speak with the beastmen, if any wish to ask, have your questions ready. I know a trick let one of them speak our language."
I would not mind either but I lean towards taking the reigns ourselves. I think Lindnt is actually suited to being the new leader. I better just give Akela some more appropriate skills to playing in the great game.
There is an old saying I once heard. Treat other generously or destroy them utterly, for they will avenge slight hurts, but for great ones, they are incapable. If you would go to serve the divine, it would not be a neglect of your duty but a great service to those who remain. For the demonkind remain, and we have only hurt them slightly....
Akela closes to 20ft. range and howls like his namesake, drawing enegy from the land into the sound.

Akela swipes at the remaining creature while stepping further to the source of the vile noise.
