SEA GREEN
Madrigal hears the slight discussion on trying for an audience with Lord Amassu now and he shakes his head violently.
"With tensions as high as they are and the fact that we have arrogantly intruded on his domain, I'd suggest we seek an audience at another time and in a more humble fashion. Lesser races flying above his domain without permission, I think, would put Lord Amassu in a foul mood."
Maybe Madrigal has a point.
"I will travel with you and speak on your behalf for an audience, but I'd suggest we make haste with a departure...now."
The billowing cloud behind you rumbles in agreement, a crack of lightning splitting across the sky. Whatever...or whomever is in that cloud is angry and not afraid to demonstrate its temper.
{I assume no one has any problems with a departure and trying to meet the king on different terms? If not, let's fast-forward to that.}
Ella edges Antyca faster and the great bird folds her wings tight and dives away from the giant lands. The cloud does not give chase, but continues to grow menacingly in size. It blackens the sky behind you and buffets you with cold winds that seem to whisper 'How dare you!'.
You make it back to The Dune Palace without another deterent and are thankful to set foot on the ground. Madrigal hops off first, followed by Henrick who offers support to Natsumi. Madrigal turns to you and says authoritatively.
"Wait here. I want to get some ceremonial garments. They may help in our diplomacy with Lord Amassu."
The Half-Giant then thunders off towards the council chambers, leaving you alone for the moment. Henrick looks around and speaks his mind.
"...Should all of us go?"
"What if things go awry and this Lord Ass or whatever decides to kill us? Should some of us stay away to offer support or..." Henrick trails off, afraid to speak the words aloud. "...or go on with the mission if something should happen?"
{At this point, I just need to know a general mission plan. All of you going? Some staying behind? Direct approach or subtle sneaking? Let me know and we'll get it started.}

Lockheart watches you banter amongst yourselves, glance at him suspiciously, even go so far as to question his peculiar timing and allegiances. The aged cleric shakes his head.
"It would seem the shadows have done more than attacked you, they appear to have gripped your mind." The Cleric moves to an edge of the camp, not menacingly, just simply giving room for all to see him as he speaks.
"However, it is unfair of me to come here without a proper introduction."
"As you have heard, my name is Lockheart. Lockheart is my surname, Almus Lockheart is my full name. I hail from a small Village to the South, Frammont. It is slightly North of the desolate city of Morten. I am aged fourty-three years and I have seen much in my life, including shadows, spectres, shades and ghosts. Since my family was slain as a small boy by a spectre, I have devoted my life to hunting them and bringing peaceful justice to their tortured existence."
"That is why, when approached by two panicked men on the road claiming they were attacked by shadows and another over the hill was still under assault, I helped as quickly and as best I can."
So far his story correlated with Lenny's--a plated cleric arriving on scene and driving back the undead menace. However, Lockheart doesn't appear done with his story as he continues to narrate.
"I found Lenny is a bad state and did what I could to help there. He mentioned others might also be in danger, so he returned with me in tow."
"I assure you, I am a good man devoted to justice, life and truth. Originally, I was en route to New Ravenshead to seek the head of our Order of St. Cuthbert. There is a dilemma among our order of the most grave importance. I seek his advice and counsel on the matter."
Lockheart moves near Wanderer and Lenny, looking them over with a wisened eye. [Heal Checks] He nods and removes a silver holy symbol. He first moves to Lenny, holding the holy symbol over his weakened body and chanting words that fill the Halfling with Strength.

The Cleric then moves over Wanderer, somehow sensing his weakened state as well, the bits of his essence that have gone missing. Still holding the symbol high, Lockheart chants stronger words that bring about a sense of tranquility and calming power to Wanderer.
[Casts Restoration Once
[Removes negative levels]
The Cleric calmly puts away his holy symbol, rubbing his weathered hands in soothing motions. He slumps back down onto a log, not drained but moreso depressed. "That is the last of my granted strength by St. Cuthbert. Should the shadow return, I have few powers left to combat him."
"I hope to find an answer in New Ravenshead as to why St. Cuthbert has fallen silent to our pleas. Without his strength, I fear we are doomed..."
[Did I read right, are you guys saddling up and making for New Ravenshead tonight? Are there any more questions for Lockheart?]
