The Black Gate

[Targuhl Dawneater]

The Dawneater observed and "overheard" what Austin and Azrael said to one another, he looked Aerianeth over before answering Hr. he observed that she was sly and cunning, but also strong, honest, and courageous. She was cetainly an interesting character, she certainly had an interesting past.

Greetings Lady.

The Elfling gave a faint suggestion of an intended bow.

I hear you rule in the Vale nowadays, I would love to go there sometime, and, rest. but not now, now is the time for war.

The Prince's head dipped forward again.

Excuse me, lady, but I speak with the other leaders before we begin our hunt.

The Hunter strode to where the rest of the leaders were standing.

Good day again. Am I right in understanding that I am to take charge of the entire reserve force?

A nod fomr Tinaldor tols him all.

Good, then I shall leave an hour after you have, I shall follow you at a distance, my tracking skills are superb and I know that there are a number of scouts in the ranks, keeping to roads and large tracks though. I shall set up camp when it reaches nightfall. I shall not lead the soldiers into battle unless I see the signal. We shall remain a mere marching army, going from one camp to the next. By the way, what will the signal be?

[Tinaldor]

"If you see an arrow in the sky of blue flame, that is the signal. That arrow shall be shot from my bow. It is also by that signal that the demon shall be released, and it is about time he was. May the strength of Grond go with you!"

He saluted Targhul with a fist to his chest, and setting an arrow to the string, he lit it with blue fire from his hands, and bending the lithe greenwood bow, sent the arrow shooting far into the sky. It was done. Nodding to Austin, he raised his black hood.

" We leave in an hour. An hour after that, you follow on Targhul. From here on command is over to you brother."

[Austin]

Austin nodded to Tinaldor
"thank you brother. Right, final orders; keep pace with me, stay low, and be very careful not to trip or make too much noise, we really dont want to aggrivate this demon before we can track it home"
he raised a finger to get an idea of the conditions
"the demon's gonna have an hour on us and i have no clue how fast they can run so we're gonna have to rely on whatever tracks it leaves and second guess it when we cant, any questions?"

[Austin]

Austin sighed
all this bloody noise... does no-one know the definition of stealth?

((um Targuhl, who are you saying that little speech too? Austin has basically just said that to the group and he would not appreciate your additions...))

[Tinaldor]

Tinaldor chuckled to himself. He could see The commotion was irritating Austin. Deciding to avoid the conflict, he turned to Austin.
"Shall we begin?"

[Azrael Turnbull]

"Lead the way, Austin," Azrael said.

This is it...

[Targuhl Dawneater]

[OOC:- Sorry Austion I just thought that it would make sense that the character who has had some experience with your enemy would give a little advice before setting off, but I'll go ahead and delete the post. Avoiding confrontation in the typically English style. Ha. Oh well, "Verberat nos et lacerat fortuna", as the Stoic said, damn I wish I could whistle...]

[Austin]

[[thanks you could have just edited it so that he goes off to meet his soldiers but meh ]]
