Garor, Newt, Hero, Callian, Caelith and Angelus - As though openly slapped with the glove of nobility itself, Hero's words seem to strike at the dutiful side of the guard.
He shouts below quickly, leaving little time for a reponse of retort. It is apparent that Sturmguard is hailed well here and respected equally as if it were Ravenshead itself. The gates swing open seconds later as a cadre of guards rush out to meet you. The young man from atop the wall heads to the front of the group and bows low. You can see now that he is clearly the commanding soldier here, at no more than twenty years of age.
"I hope I can be pardoned for the delay, but surely ambassadors of Sturmguard will carry identifying papers as such."
With but a flick of your hand, you show that you are indeed sent by the great king himself. The young man quickly glances at the papers with brown eyes that betray great experience over youth and he bows low again.
"I thank you sirs. I am called Camir, captain of the guard for Morten and am at your service. All that Morten has and more is at your service."
"Please, what can we do for the ambassadors?"

Krysta, Girud and Galdren - Irinys looks to Krysta, his eyes struck dumbfoundly.
"What in the nine hells are you talking about woman? These crystal don't heal..."
As though to illustrate his point, Irinys rolls up the loose sleeve of his garb and holds out his arm. It is impossibly larger than you think it should be. Muscles ripple under the flesh and his tattooes seem to bulge out with drastic reality.
"The crystal shards are power...absolute power for while. Go ahead, touch it..."
The elven prince stands aside, allowing all others brave enough to touch the crystal to do so. Girud, anxious to test the regenerative powers, stomps forward and touches the crystal with his outstretched hand.
As you do Girud, you too feel your bulk increase. It's as though you're filled with an energy you didn't think you possessed. Muscles shudder and grow, grips tighten and legs solidify.
{Girud, +4 STR for the next hour.}
Upon seeing this, Mordrock immediately dodges over to the crystal and nearly leaps onto it, rubbing every exposed bit of flesh onto the crystal that he can. He too, seems to grow larger, filled out with a magic power you cannot explain.
"Mordorck REALLY strong now!!"
The small goblin stands and flexes, visibly larger than before. Irinys huffs.
"Move that thing aside...and somebody get a cloth and wipe it off..."
"Come one everyone, together we can grow stronger and lift this out of its hole."
The elven prince gathers all of his troops and begins working on clearing it out.
You begin to puzzle...surely these two shards must come from different crystals as the one in Ravenshead clearly had regeneraitve powers...this one does not. This crystal grants impossible strength.
A most puzzling situation...
{Does everyone want to touch the crystal? Help dig it out...whatever.}
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuri, Romar and Sehanine - {Romar Listen/Spot Checks}
Romar you can vaguely see a second figure near Sehanine, clearly facing her, but you cannot hear anything. You wonder who this new figure is.
{Alright, so unless I'm mistaken, you guys are going to jump the orcs right? I'll roll for surprise.}
{Orcs Surprise roll, fail.}
The orcs are not aware of your presence, They seem more intent on their dwarven prey. You could get the jump on them now.
{One free round now, next round Initiative will be: Sehanine, Romar, The orcs, Yuri.}

"I am Hero Czelur of the Royal Cavalry and I travel with ambassadors of King Sturmguard. Open the gate."
He shouts below quickly, leaving little time for a reponse of retort. It is apparent that Sturmguard is hailed well here and respected equally as if it were Ravenshead itself.

Krysta, Girud and Galdren - Irinys looks to Krysta, his eyes struck dumbfoundly.
"This crystal in Ravenshead can heal the injured prisoners. Will you allow them to be healed by this one?"
"What in the nine hells are you talking about woman? These crystal don't heal..."

I must say I like all of your roleplaying too, and that of Yuri, especially the stories that are developing around your characters. I like the idea around Yuri that he's actually a hero in disguise.
