The Future

how things have begun to change, so we have found where the barbarians call home for those that call themselves The Brotherhood of Ragged Bloodied Banners.
I feel bad in a way for what it looks like we have to do. I don't think that these people can be bargained with though. From what I have seen they are as vicious to their own as they are to others in their territory. We have to end their continued threat but I am at odds to having to wipe them out. There are children as well as women some of whom seem to be treated as animals. what to do, I hoped to simply find a group who were responsible and then punish them for their actions and hold them to account for what they have done, that's a good one coming from me what's wrong with me. I used to steal, rob and cheat and never thought of whom I might hurt by my actions. Now look at me here I am passing judgement on others.

You cannot blame yourself for everything that happens, The blow came so quickly, I remember only running as they descended on us. At least we were given some quarter and allowed to retreat. Azral is a wise and honorable man and knew the possibility of death existed yet faced it like the Nobelist of knights. I doubt I would ever find such courage. Ride swiftly.

I'm sorry if I seem distant and otherwise engaged at the moment. As you may remember a while ago whilst I was performing with Gimbaldi, there was a person who was watching me and then disappeared whilst in the crowd that had gathered (this was when something really weird happened during the performance in that I seemed to be in multiple places at the same time and rumors began that I was using witch craft during the performance) This was when we met the priestess who later was caught by Kat about to kill me. Well I have seen this same person on several occasions. He keeps asking me who I am, but when I reply he says I am lying. I have been thinking on what and who am I. What does he want? the book you have Azral seems to suggest that at some point I will willingly go with him and I will change I remeber part of a passage "she will go with him willingly and men will fear her". I remember you saying something to me Kat about what the priestess was muttering to herself about me when she was hesitating with me at her mercy. If I remember correctly you said she was taking about me being the one to pierce the veil and become of the shadows or something similar. I feel drawn to do as he requests almost as if he is testing me and I want to go with him. The question remains who am I?

I don't have the answers Kal, only you can answer who you are. Think about it and look deep inside. As for Gimbaldi....time shall tell, I think again he is trying to protect us, so the question is what has he done now maybe?

Thank you Ludwig, your words make sense. We have other things to think of now.
Looking at how we dealt with the last that Dragon if we are going to be fighting them we need to come up with some tactics in defeating them. How does this sound as a possible tactic.
If we are to use that horn of yours Kat to attract Dragons that wish you ill when they are need to have to be ready to combat the magical nature of these beings. That wand of yours Azral how many times can it be used before it has lost the magic invested in it?
This needs to be utilized better than has been to remove and weaken a Dragon. If I can will try to study a dragon to understand the nature of what protections and enhancements have been afforded to it. Talon I will then help you as much as possible by being a general nuisance and keeping our foe of balance. Kat your accuracy with your bow and your own dragon borne gifts will whittle away our foes life blood Tazinth you have mastery over the arcane arts If I may be so bold you have the best chance of countering the magical threat posed by these foes. Azral your powers are varied and divine of nature both blessings of healing and the ability to bolster us when we weaken. However I have seen on several occasions that some of your blessings can defeat or weaken even the most powerful of foes. I know azral that my natural gifts to us the shadows does not sit well with you but I am still trying to utilize these to assist us in our fight if you have suggestions on how these may be better employed am all ears. Talon your blades natural ability to potentially blind our opponents can cause more problems for us. Please give us time to respond before you release its power. tazinth Please feel free to blast away at our foes but your ability to strip away our enemies protections will mean all of us will benefit.

"Hahahaha, I don't have a problem with shadows lass. To be honest I don't even know what true shadows look like as my races natural born gift of dark vision penetrates such things. I was more getting at the point that we all need to work better as a team. Using the shadows to help hide us is sometimes useful and I'm sure it looks great to the common folk but sometimes it can hinder us as much as help us. Being able to blind our enemies is a great tactic, one that I use a lot but only if we arn't blinding ourselfs, plus there's many things out there that do not rely on vision! Maybe a code word to let us know that you wish to use that sun cursed blade might be handy"

Azral winks at Taron while slapping him hearty on the shoulder.

"Oh and Kat my lass!, while I remember. You might be deadly with a bow, but try to remember that you are also bloody good with a Greatsword, better than me in-fact."
