[19:37:02] <.Bynw> *the day is warm and moist ... as this far south it never really gets cold
[19:37:21] <+Ryethon> "Seth, How do you plan to get in contact with them?
[19:39:27] <.Bynw> *Seth* "That is the only part of the plan that needs to be worked out. As of yet they have refused to make themselves known."
[19:40:35] <+Ryethon> "Was it not Chadwick that informed us of them? Perhaps he would know how?"
[19:40:58] <+Charissa> "or maybe the Seaforths"
[19:42:20] <+Ryethon> "It would be difficult to contact either from here, but it may be that Chadwick could get help to our soldiers very quickly."
[19:43:13] <.Bynw> *Seth stops for a moment* "The Seaforts. Master Sprax has just sent me an update. Our army is retreating but it is holding together. The Egorians are headed for the Seafort's encampent where they are currently working on the trade road."
[19:45:37] <+Ryethon> "Hmm we really do need that assistance now..."
[19:46:06] <+Charissa> "maybe we can get a hold of The Seafort then, warn him about the Egorians and see if he can raise the Maxim"
[19:47:32] <.Bynw> *Seth grabs a horse* "We will accomplish nothing standing here in this marsh." *and heads for the trade road*
[19:48:08] <+Ryethon> "Aye, lets go."
[19:48:16] * +Jack follows Seth
[19:48:25] * +Ryethon Takes the lead and rides off ahead
[19:49:24] * +Charissa follows the others
[19:49:48] <.Bynw> *Coch rides with the others staying close to the Queen*
[19:51:52] <.Bynw> *Seth* "They have time on thier side. We need to move fast. Otherwise we will arrive too late"
[19:53:06] * +Ryethon heads back to the rest of the group
[19:53:36] <+Ryethon> "I am going to ride ahead hard and fast to reach the Seaforts. Pray that I make it in time."
[19:54:00] <.Bynw> *Seth nods at the general* "Go!"
[19:54:45] <+Jack> "Good luck."
[19:58:00] <.Bynw> *as the group travels back towards the construction site the swamp and marshes become more difficult to travel, slowing the Lord's pace*

  [20:09:20] <.Bynw> *it is well into the afternoon when the Lords finally arrive at the Seafort encampment. the construction site is in ruins. all the months of work gone. dead are everywhere. with general Ryethon searching through the dead for any survivors when the other lords arrive.*
  [20:09:55] <+Charissa> "looks like we were too late"
  [20:11:01] * +Jack joins in looking for survivors
  [20:11:17] <+Ryethon> "Notice that these are not all our soldiers."
  [20:12:47] * Coch has joined #Teara-Adan
  [20:12:52] * Bynw sets mode: +v Coch
  [20:15:12] <+Ryethon> "I arrived about an hour after what happened here."
  [20:16:07] * +Coch looks for horse or wagon tracks to check in what direction the attackers left
  [20:16:43] <.Bynw> *the tracks of the Egorian's go in several directions away from the site.
  [20:18:27] <+Ryethon> "We should look for survivors, any information we get will be better than none."
  [20:18:46] <+Charissa> "agreed.  And I can try to heal some of them"
  [20:19:16] <.Bynw> *Seth stays on his horse riding through the area mumbling about the loss of time this project will have on the future of the trade road.*
  [20:20:38] * +Coch begins checking for survivors including the Egorians

  [20:26:46] <+Charissa> "come over here!  quickly!  look at this!"
  [20:26:52] * +Charissa points to her discovery
  [20:27:01] * +Jack goes over to Charissa
  [20:27:18] * +Coch heads toward the voice of Charissa
  [20:27:39] <+Charissa> ::shows them an egorian soldier ... half burned even the ground he is laying on looks as though it was burned away ... and it smells sharp::
  [20:28:06] * +Ryethon walks over to the soldier
  [20:28:14] <+Ryethon> "Will he live?"
  [20:28:34] <+Charissa> "alas, he's quite dead"
  [20:29:06] <.Bynw> *the soldier is quite dead. most of his face is missing ... burned and melted almost together ...
  [20:29:14] <+Coch> "What caused this sort of damage?"
  [20:29:17] <+Ryethon> "So it seems."
  [20:29:22] <+Ryethon> "Wizards."
  [20:29:27] <+Charissa> "magic"
  [20:29:53] <+Charissa> "even Deryni cannot wield this kind of fire that I know of"
  [20:30:44] <.Bynw> *Seth rides over and dismounts inspecting the area*
  [20:30:46] <+Coch> "Then who did it?"
  [20:30:58] <+Ryethon> "It seems that Master Seafort has some very powerful wizards at his disposal, and some explaining to do."
  [20:31:55] <.Bynw> "This wasnt caused by fire." *he says* "There is no ash. And the smell ..." *he wrinkles his nose* ".. isnt from flame either."
  [20:32:33] <+Ryethon> "A dragon perhaps?"
  [20:33:33] <.Bynw> *Seth* "Chadwick says there arent any. But yet we have this and that talon you received."
  [20:34:55] <+Charissa> "then it is a real or *created* dragon"
  [20:35:28] <.Bynw> *Seth looks around* "Look for tracks. Lets put an end to this speculation."
  [20:36:00] <+Ryethon> "Did he say there weren't any, or that there had not been any for a long time?"
  [20:36:45] <+Charissa> ::goes closer to sniff the dead soldier's face::
  [20:36:46] <+Jack> "I think the latter."
  [20:37:36] <+Charissa> "smells like acid--from a green dragon"'
  [20:38:21] <.Bynw> *Seth* "Yes he said in a long time"
  [20:39:18] <+Ryethon> "Could this be the source of the Seafort's power?"
  [20:40:47] <.Bynw> *Seth* "It would explain how they can build this trade road in a very short time. A dragon could probably do the work of hundreds of men"
  [20:41:06] <+Charissa> "aye"
  [20:41:18] <+Ryethon> "A tame dragon..."
  [20:41:36] <+Ryethon> "The Seaforts do have quite a bit of explaining to do."
  [20:42:02] <+Ryethon> "It would also explain why they felt so well protected."
  [20:42:07] <+Charissa> ::checks the rest of the bodies, to see if it is mostly Egorians"
  [20:42:18] <+Charissa> ::
  [20:43:23] <.Bynw> *most of the bodies found are Egorians but some are Seaforts men and some are Warp Woods men and mercs. There are a few other areas that have been hit by the mysterious burning around the battlefield*
  [20:43:49] <.Bynw> *the sun has set by the time the Lords finish their investigation of the site*
  [20:44:56] <+Coch> "Apparently Seafort's men won this battle but why did they leave?"
  [20:45:31] <+Ryethon> "To take care of the rest of the Egorian army?
  [20:45:36] <+Charissa> "he cannot get his money if Warp Wood is completely destroyed"
  [20:45:48] <+Charissa> "maybe he went to help us out by going to protect the city"
  [20:48:46] <.Bynw> *Seth* "He is in this for the money it will bring him. The costs of the construction outway the eventual profit we and they will make in the long run. He is protecting his investment I'm sure."
  [20:54:08] <+Ryethon> "Seth can you contact Master Sprax again?"
  [20:55:59] <.Bynw> *Seth nods* "I can attempt it. But without knowing where he is at this time ... we may not be able to communicate"
  [20:56:33] <+Charissa> "I'll help again"
  [20:57:56] <+Charissa> roll 7df+
  [20:57:56] <+SnakeEyes> Charissa rolls 7df+ and gets
• [-][-][ ][ ]
• [ ] Great
  [21:01:31] <.Bynw> *Seth concentrates using the added and more skilled Deryni Charissa to help reach out and contact Master Sprax*
  [21:07:29] <.Bynw> *Seth opens his eyes* "I made a brief contact. The are still fighting the Egorian's. They are heading to the capital. He knows nothing of what transpired here after he left."
  [21:08:29] <+Charissa> ::opens her eyes too:: "We need to head back to the Capital"
  [21:08:46] * +Ryethon mounts up
  [21:08:51] <+Ryethon> "Lets go."
  [21:09:00] <+Charissa> ::mounts up::
  [21:10:10] * +Jack mounts as well
  [21:12:16] <.Bynw> *Seth returns to his horse* "We need to travel fast but the swamps arent letting us."
  [21:12:43] <+Charissa> "once we get to town, if the Cathedral is closer, I suggest at least some of us make our way to the portal there and portal over to the Palace"
  [21:13:33] * +Coch prepares to leave with the group
