Tazlure

At Elaine's urging, Ulder immediately stepped forward to assist Alicia. The stinging strike had caught him somewhat off guard, as he was well within his own thoughts and coming to accept something he now viewed as gospel truth. He assisted the Baron's daughter back to her feet and held her arm caref...

Inside the tent, Ulder stood. silent and watching. The lady Rowena's words shackled Elaine inexorably to the fate of the town of Pax Balthasar. It was then and there that Ulder understood that it was all a lie. 'A gift for your wife' the spirit of the valley had said at his offering. More voices tel...

The grip on his arm spoke to him in volumes. The woman's words had caught her by surprise, and there was a moment's pause as Elaine stopped, then answered positively as she wished to move forward to see the Baron. The stiffening of her posture told him that she was mentally preparing herself to go f...

She had many questions, and none with easy answers. Such was the way of their life together so far, but would it always be that way? Would they always be in the thick of things? Only time and the Gods seemed to know. "If it needs people to be happy again, and it needs a chance to protect them a...

Greetings and welcome!

"No, I think Selderine has simply nudged king Balthazar to build here, calling a city home, so to speak...clearly the walls were already here, even if it was just from memory at first." "You're probably more right than not on that account. I think it's clear to both of us that whatev...

"Perhaps that's the intent that we need to focus in on." He replied in response to her words about Pax crumbling away, leaving only Selderine behind. "Pax has been an abomination from the start. It's intent, it's purpose, it's mission. You can't put people and their faiths away just b...

"My fear exactly. He's given himself over to it so completely, I wonder if he even knows who he is anymore. I suppose only time will tell. I haven't given up on him." "Selderine is the original place. It still echoes it's grief over failing to protect it's people. That brings up very....

Her words made perfect sense, and her easygoing way with them filled his heart with love for her all over again. Her question about Draydis darkened his expression, and it was heard in his voice as much as seen on his face. "Draydis came to see me this morningtide. It was the first time I had s...

There were many things to see and do at the festival, yet it was clear that Ulder couldn't help himself with recruiting allies for his cause. Couldn't even relax and have a little fun could you? Elaine seemed quiet, pondering over the Mage's words and their possible meanings. Her grip on his arm sho...

OOC: I think I'm finished with the thread too. Thanks Guido, thanks Dray!

Ulder looked on as it seemed Draydis had something to say, but the Adhiel said nothing and put his disguise back in place and walked out without a word. Ulder pulled back the tent flap and watched him retreat into his precious, brooding solitude once more. That is why you're doomed to fail Draydis. ...

Ulder visibly relaxed, sheathing his sword and standing more at ease, but his expression was still troubled and concerned, not of attack, but for the life and well being of the Adhiel Commander. The words Draydis spoke were deeply worrying to the former Captain. "I must confess Commander, that ...

Ulder watched carefully as the Commander began to uncloak himself. Ulder had thought all the heavy disguise was merely to keep his presence anonymous in the town and that the Adhiel's "secret" was something else entirely. What was revealed to him was something entirely different. Ulder's f...

Yes please!

Best wishes Michelle and welcome back Guido.

The former Captain found the reply from Commander Draydis interesting, and more than a little cryptic. There was a great deal of talk of secrets and not knowing everything, which Ulder felt he had already admitted to. "Very well. Come this way please." Ulder lead Draydis back to his makesh...

"About the other force, I can say with a reasonable amount of certainty that it exists. I've had too many reports from too many different sources to say it doesn't. It's actually not that there is a force at all that I question, it's the intention of that force that has me concerned. I was mere...

When the other turned to face him, Ulder knew he had been mistaken and this was not Savarak's man. Now even more mystified, he concentrated on the dark cloaked figure's words. At first, they were dark and cryptic, and there was a note and tone of familiarity in them. It wasn't until the other man me...

Curious, Ulder followed the cloaked figure outside. Perhaps this was the aforementioned Agradan, coming to speak with him already. Ulder marveled at the speed of Savarak's organization. If his men can move as fast as their leadership, it bodes well for tonight... He thought. Not knowing he could not...

As he made his way back into the common room, Ulder was lost in his thoughts. He pondered over Savarak's words and advice, and also thought deeply about the man himself. This was his rebellion long before Ulder stepped one foot into Pax. This fact was not lost on Ulder in the slightest, and he was b...

His hand rested comfortably and familiarly in the small of Elaine's back as the mage spoke. It seemed that Torc knew a great deal about the mystery that Elaine and some others were trying to solve. Once again the former Captain was realizing that others were after their same goals, but the communica...

Ulder committed as many of the details of the church as he was able to memory. He would later share this information with Brytan and Commander Carbonneau, and when the festival was in full swing, he would have one of his men watching the chapel closely. "Perhaps we have run out of time to do so...

Ulder was glad that Savarak could see little wrong with his plan. It always was a good practice to create a strategy and then have someone outside looking in review it. A certain objectivity was always good counsel. "I thought the same thing of the Honestus. I imagine many of them would like to...

Ulder sat as he was bidden, making sure Elaine found her seat safely as he gave her an extra moment to make herself comfortable. As the soothsayer began to relate his tale, Ulder found himself engrossed in the man's story, and his viewpoint. In the end, he knew with a certainty that this was Torc, t...

Ulder listened carefully to the rebel leader's advice in regards to both Torc and Nyrellon. He was also somewhat relieved and glad to hear that Savarak's men had some ability, and were disciplined enough to follow without too much hand holding. Agradan seemed exactly like the sort Ulder needed to st...
