Who: Geddoe + Anyone
What: A certain taciturn mercenary who's been MIA for a few weeks is finally showing his face again...
Where: En route to and later in the Blue Sanctum
When: May 28ish
Warnings: None

[A - Somewhere en route to the Blue Sanctum]

*If you happen to be out and about today, whether hunting, scouting, or just getting a breath of fresh air, you might happen to chance across a certain dragonsworn mercenary on his way back to the sanctum. He looks rather like he's been sleeping outside the past several days at least, and is hauling what appears to be the better part of a stag carcass slung across his shoulder. Do you approach?*


[B - Inside the Blue Sanctum]

*After having been absent for... several weeks, at least, Geddoe finally makes his way back into the sanctum. He's carrying a good chunk of stag carcass that he wastes no time handing over to those in charge of the food stores, and generally definitely looks the part of someone who's been roughing it outdoors for some time. That, and he's very obviously in need of a bath.

Still, though, at least he's back?*


((OOC: Since I derped out for most the month due to various things that came up I figured the simplest explanation for a lack of reaction on Geddoe's part to some of the recent events was that he simply wasn't around for them in the first place. :|b Feel free to poke me if there's anything you'd still like me to pick up or backtag though, even if it's old stuff!))

[lightningbearer]

The ones who were taken didn't have anything to say about what they were asked or how they were treated?

*because a lot can be gleaned from that...*

[ninjacques]

...not that I've heard.

[And no one from his flight had been taken to be asked.]

The dragon mages did set up ways for dragonsworn to communicate over distances...

[He...probably could have mentioned that earlier since it seems almost out of place, but it's something of an afterthought for him.]

[lightningbearer]

Oh?

*read: do elaborate*

[ninjacques]

Scrying orbs. They can connect to other orbs if you think of the location. ...I haven't tried it, only watched Rose use it.

[lightningbearer]

...I see.

*considering some of the possible implications for this*

[ninjacques]

[He's glad he's not asked further details on that since he really doesn't know much more. And since he's not asked anything more from Geddoe thereafter, Jacques simply waits in his customary silence.]

[lightningbearer]

*there's quite a few questions Geddoe can think of about these orbs, but he's quite capable of reading between the lines; if Jacques says he's only seen someone else use it, he probably doesn't know anything, especially given that it's not something that would fall into his normal area of expertise. So instead, it's better to move on to another topic*

Tell me what happened with Silverglen.

[ninjacques]

[The hunter nods, probably having figured Geddoe would ask specifics eventually.]

The elves in Silverglen believed some of us were causing trouble for them. Specifically, two from the Red, one from the Blue, and me. ...they wouldn't let other Dragonsworn from our flights enter the village without someone of Black or Bronze.

[lightningbearer]

Why you?

*...he's a mercenary, he can think of a lot of reasons one could suddenly be suspected of causing trouble, justified or no, but whatever the case he wants to know specifics*

[ninjacques]

...they thought I used Green magic on some of their villagers as practice.

[lightningbearer]

But you didn't?

[ninjacques]

[Headshake.]

[lightningbearer]

Who were the others?

*he'll take descriptions, if you don't know their names...*

Oh whoops that was 1 red, 2 blue.

[ninjacques]

...a redhead called Kaneis, red flight. A boy named Yugo, and a blond elf from the Blue.

We'll just pretend that's what he said, haha

[lightningbearer]

Were any of them guilty?

Yeah. I got the numbers switched up in my head. xD

[ninjacques]

[He shakes his head again.]

[lightningbearer]

Do you know where the accusations came from?

[ninjacques]

...someone made the elves think we were at fault. We found out it was someone from the Blacksworn...

[lightningbearer]

*now that is interesting information*

You know who?

[ninjacques]

Someone named Qilby.

[lightningbearer]

I see.

*you better believe he'll remember that*

What came of it?

[ninjacques]

...the elves wanted us to clear out the furbolgs that took over one of their barrow dens- a way to prove ourselves.

They're like bear-men...about eight feet tall. We were told that they weren't normally so violent. ...they acted strangely, like mindless animals.

[lightningbearer]

So you completed the task?

*there's quite a few questions Jacques's summary raises, but Geddoe knows he's not the one to get answers from on that point*

[ninjacques]

[Sorry Geddoe. Jacques gives summaries of summaries.

He merely nods at that, though.]

[lightningbearer]

*Jacques probably wouldn't know the information Geddoe is wondering about, anyway*

Did the elves accept it as proof of your intentions?
