4.1 Introducing Oris

[(George) 3.5./ ZEM ( 4.0)]

He lets his friends take the lead on this, he had a habit of opening his mouth at bad times. he did not want to get shot not at the time like this. " First we need to keep our voices down, if your hunting Gnolls that is good enough for me, i did not know your true intentions. I tend to misjudge quite often. Vetch here has got me to see this and he is a half Ork. That i do need to trust others more, even trust races that have long issues with me for each individual may not condone the same things as their people. you can see that i don't carry a bow. We have a cart with food, if you wish to join us you have my vote, but even tho i am the leader of this group they still have votes on this issue for i am only one vote in this. But that comes when we get out of here and brake camp, is everyone ok with that?"

[rhinobullet]

Vetch nods and says "let's move back to a safe location and we can discuss the newcomer and what our next move shall be."

[sdmattocks]

"That seems amicable"

[(George) 3.5./ ZEM ( 4.0)]

" Great, lets get moving," He leads the group to a safe distance off and takes the cart they had with them. he then gets to work setting camp. ask the others to help and it does not take long. after they are all done. they sit down to eat.

[harknail]

Harknail asks, "What ye want done with the bodies? Dragging them be leaving a trail."

[(George) 3.5./ ZEM ( 4.0)]

I thought we would have put them in the cart, sorry i should have said that bit

[rhinobullet]

Vetch will assist Harknail with the bodies, placing them in the cart. When they get to the campsite, he will carry them into the woods and bury them while the others make camp.

After that, he will return to the campsite and wait to listen to the newcomers explanation of why he is wandering int he wilds of his country all alone.

[at]

The final member of the group to emerge from the entrance is a human dressed in dark grey robes, cautious but not armed save for a dagger at his side and seemingly more preoccupied with listening for any activity within the mountain.

Unlike his companions he shows no sign of having been in combat.

[sdmattocks]

Oris follows, keeping a few feet apart from them. They seem like good people, but things are not always what they appear.

[(George) 3.5./ ZEM ( 4.0)]

Zem gives them last rights over the dead bodies just in case some jerk wanted to raise them,
once things at camp are all settled, and they finished eating
"Ok so time to get few things out of the way, I don't wish to badger you with questions. Yet is is the only way i know to get to know a person If your honest with us we can see about maybe helping each other with the Gnoll problem. Why did you take up this fight with the gnolls in the first place did they wrong you or your people?"

[sdmattocks]

Oris shakes his head, "Neither. I heard that people were disappearing along the roads. travelling I saw the remains of one of the victims. I just could not allow such wanton destruction to continue unchecked. So i followed the trail back to the nest." He thinks for a second and looks around. He asks, "What brings such a varied group of people together to hunt these gnolls?"

I am making this up, because I do not know. if there is anything wrong with it, tell me.

[(George) 3.5./ ZEM ( 4.0)]

well it was not our main quest, but we were ambushed by a few found a map, it led here, took out 2 of them out here, took out 3 more inside. I take it your a good shot, what was the hardest shot u ever took and still hit the mark? Im an elf true but i was never good with a bow, so i took up reading."

[sdmattocks]

Oris shakes his head. "It does me little to think of my efforts in terms of that."


I would like to do a history check to see what i remember about orc/half-orcs.

[rhinobullet]

Vetch looks at the newcomer. He growls "You don't seem familiar to me. These are my woods, and I have ranged here many years. I see many people, though they rarely see me. Where might you be from and where might you be going? What is it you do?"

[sdmattocks]

Oris turns his full attention on the half-orc. "I help where i can, spreading good and stopping evil. I come from many places, and am going many more. AS to what i am doing here and now, I have already said. I was going to deal with the gnolls. I had no knowledge that there was anyone else working on this particular problem. As for why i am not familiar, i have not been around here is some time and i doubt that you were here then. But i have a question, If these are your woods and you see many people, how have the gnolls been able to found a camp?"

[harknail]

Clarification, the characters are on the inland plains, with a few scattered trees here and there. The Edge woods where Vetch is a master are several days away at the coast. The group is heading past the fringes of civilization.

[rhinobullet]

Thanks Hark! I thought we were still in the Edge Woods (though that has been many posts. I will adjust my character's actions accordingly

[rhinobullet]

Vetch glares at the newcomer and says "None of that really answers who and what you are. As for me, my home is near these parts, but I don't patrol them. This wouldn't happen in my woods."

Vetch seems to relent a bit (perhaps thinking about how so many have misjudged him solely based on his looks) and says "I was given a chance to prove myself, despite the elf's (nodding at Zem) misgivings about me. I suppose you are entitled to the same respect."

Vetch nods and goes about making camp and preparing food, listening to the conversation as it continues.

[sdmattocks]

Oris looks down ashamed. He then looks over all of then. "I appoligize. i have not yet introduced myself have I. My name is Oris, I am a deva, a race that goes back to when we served our gods. As for what i do. I am a seeker, Much like a ranger i do use a bow. I have learned to harness the power of nature spirits to help with my shots. may i have your Names as well?"


And now because i actually forgott to describe him, He is a relatively tall male domiently dark grey with a white swirl over his right cheek visable. He wears light leather armor with a cloak around his shoulders.

[harknail]

"I be Harknail, Paladin of Kord," said the large steel plated stone and fiber construct.

OOC: Oris doesn't remember Warforged as being religious. Of course the others don't remember Warforged at all, so don't know that a Paladin is an unusual profession for such.
