Feel free to stay with us for the evening Dubhán. Are you living her permanently among the elves now?" He starts slowly heading back to where the caravan set up to stay for the night. He pauses. "Lirillith, did your elven companions say anything more about the Orc patrol that we encountered? It would be good to know if they were a random raiding party or connected to a larger force. The elf I spoke to did indicate some coincidence to their current activity and the activity we are contemplating looking into at the Caves, but did not draw a direct line between the two". ![]()

![]() Van smiles at the sight of Dubhan but then he sighs as he recalls exactly why he is now here, "It's bittersweet Dubhan. My parents have, were... well, they've met their end on a mission for the church. Without them holding me back, yes, my taste for adventure can now be satisfied. I miss them, every day. They were too protective of my well being". A hand goes to Van's neck, where Dubhan can see a recent wound was healed, "Though after my first real taste of battle, I can understand their apprehension in my seeking this adventurous life. We are headed to the Keep on the Borderlands, some new companions of mine and I. What about you, what led you here since last we parted?" ![]()

![]() DM, I believe that Dubhan and I have worked a modification to our backgrounds that allow us to be tied together, being that's the case (i'll update my background later) I believe I can bring him in now. After purchasing the piece of jewelry Van stepped outside of the shop and spots a dark-skinned Hin looking individual riding a tiger that he is pretty sure is his old friend Dubhán and calls out to him. "Hey Dubhán! What are the odds of us seeing each other here!" ![]()

![]() As the rest of the group branches out, Van also takes the time to look for a kindred spirit, he seeks an Elven Mage who may be willing trade spells with him for the short period of time he remains here.

From the Keep we plan to head to the caves and root out those troubles, not all at once of course, it will likely take several attempts to do so.

![]() Van's heart races as the battle begins in earnest, the chaos of the field has his palms sweaty, he races through his mind quickly considering the scenarios he has played out in his mind time and time again, but of course, none are quite like this, the real things. Still, knows what to do, the caravan needs some breathing room, so he picks a spell that should help, though not as much as a spell cast by the archmage of Nyrond would! Van casts Ear Piercing Scream - (you unleash a powerful scream, inaudible to all but the single target. They take 1d6 damage (per 2 caster levels) and must make a Fortitude Save or be Dazed for 1 round a successful Fort save also halves the damage EDIT - well 1 damage no matter what!.

I must confess, I have never met a tall halfling before!" As Hedrak approaches Van smiles, "Yes, I think that an audience with my cousin and a discussion of the menace of the caves makes sense. Assuming that you seek more than simple wandering of course for that path forward is fraught with danger". |
