The Great Mau River runs through the entire Land-Tiller's State. It is considered the lifeblood of the Expanse and is also where all the important facilities are. Because it is so vital, it is constantly patrolled by trained wyverns, the Chaos Falcon Corps, and various mages. At the Northern most edge of the river lies Elder's Valley, the location of the Expanse's seat of government. Just before reaching there, one must cross an outpost. This area is well guarded by water mages of the highest calibur, but the most powerful mage by far is Elder Havador himself, the leader of the Expanse. Legend has it he can split an ocean and then fold it onto itself. On the Southern end, there is another outpost just before reaching the Chaos Phoenix Temple. This outpost is protected by Grand Phoenixian Lai Ban, one of the liasons between Phoenix Imperium and the Land-Tiller's State, and a member of the Dittany Clan. She wields an incredible amount of light and dark magic, and is said to be almost as powerful as Lynx of the Celadine was in her prime. Her powers are being augmented by a god-like entity called the Chaos Phoenix. |

It was just now becoming light. The diplomatic envoy from the Kingdom of belrow had been travelling upon the road for over a week now. Many would see that as near impossible, considering the distances between the two nations but their were certain upsides to being undead. Chief of which was the fact that the dead had no need to sleep or eat or drink. Making journey's extremely quick.
This was the first time a citizen of Belrow had been outside their cities in thousands of years. Making it a very auspicious occasion, and only the best diplomat was chosen for the job.
Seeing a great river in the distance the convoy began its slow but methodical approach to the tillers land. Their approch was no doubt already been seen, if not by the sentries at the outpost, the screaming peasants would have definitely alerted them.

The strange delegation would indeed be met with suspicion, especially from the older generation of peasants who still remembered the civil wars of 50 years ago. Some of them had lost family members to undead. The convoy would be flanked by wyverns and mounted mages riding along the bank of the river, ready to attack at a moment's notice. They would also hear strange fluttering noises above and around them with no apparent source. However, the prejudices of the people would be tempered by reason, as the creatures quickly approached the Land-Tiller's Chaos Phoenix Temple. The locals had mixed feelings about this place, as it was designed more for the immigrants of the Phoenix Imperium rather than the locals, and frankly was a bit of a pretentious eye sore. Still, they knew that attacking the temple was suicide. In other words, logic dictated that these creatures and their convoy were most likely friendly. As more and more escorts surrounded the convoy, the people would start to feel more at ease. Making friends with undead might be interesting. Besides, if they were evil, Grand Phoenixian Lai Ban would most likely incinerate them. <If your post is just for the festival, you can ignore this. I just wasn't sure because you posted here after you made your festival post. But if you wanna do a separate RP with a more political mindset, you can post at the temple next and this post will count for both.  > |

It was only a few hours ride from the campsite to the outpost. Sid was unused to traveling with a companion who could talk back. He was used to prattling on to his animal companions who mostly ignored him. With Cat in tow it seemed just a wee bit awkward. So though he wasn't unresponsive he was quiet. When they finally got to the guard post his mood brightened a bit. Perhaps things would feel less awkward when he had a job to focus on. He comes up to the gate and calls out.
"Ware the watch! It's Sidarin Ves! Have there been any new bounties posted?"

The woman remained at his side as they finally approached the watchtowers and guard posts. She remained quiet most of the way, feeling just as awkward as he might have been - she, too, was familiar with traveling with only animals for companions. But it wasn't tense, at least. When he called out for attention of the watchmen she remained where she was, Artair staying quiet and still.

The young woman had a small kestrel on her shoulder. She was feeding the small but spunky bird of prey a piece of meat. She was staring off into the water, appearing distant. But when Sidarin called out to her, her countenance grew bright. "OI! Sidarin!" The woman darted down to meet the two travelers. "So... you finally decided to stop being a loner?" She winked and waved at @darkanaarez . "Well, not as of yet, but I happen to know a bounty is about to go up soon. The Creeplands are being stalked by something, something strange. I heard Elder Raynor is there trying to keep everyone calm, but from what I hear it's a mess there. Some poor teenagers have been killed. Plus they found these really weird looking bodies. They were shaped like people, but... smaller. And they weren't dwarves or halflings. They were even smaller, and a different color. Anyways, I'm sure it's nothing you can't handle, but stay alert. When the bounty does go up I promise it'll be very high." |

Hmm hunting a beast instead of men. Sid had done it before but he would have to swap out arrows. His quiver was killed with armor pierces. The narrow heads were good for punching through armor and they left wounds that were easily cleaned. If he was hunting an animal though he'd want broad heads. The wider points created larger wounds that bleed more readily. Good for killing unarmored foes and it would mean one good hit could lead to a bleed out.
"Thanks for the tip Jane. You mind if I grab some broad heads from the armory? If I am going to be hunting a monster I want to be prepared. Even if the monster turns out the be a mountain lion. Also I suppose for the moment I am not a loner. Catriona this is Jane, Jane Catriona."

Catriona just listened to the pair of them, more so interested in the supposed creature causing trouble. When the woman cast a wave in her direction, she returned it with a nod in greeting. The introduction was brief, and informed her this woman was called Jane.
"It's nice to meet you," she replies quietly. "... I understand that's what you know, but it still seems rather vague. Is there really that little gathered on the creature?"

"Sure, take whatever you need. I'd come with you but I'm on patrol duty."
Her tiny kestrel fluttered and gave a shrill cry. Jane rubbed it just behind the neck.
"Nice to meet you too Cat. Unfortunately no. Like I said, the bounty mission hasn't even gone up yet. It's probably bigger than a mountain lion though, I can tell you that much..."
When they were done gathering supplies, Jane and her kestrel would wave them off. "When you get to the Creeplands, go to the main farmhouse. You should see Raynor there. Knowing him he's probably helping them harvest. Good luck!"

"Thanks Jane." Sid slides from his horse and grabs his quiver. He heads into the outpost and straight to the armory. He swaps out his armor pierces for a load of broad heads. Before he leaves he notices a bundle of silver tipped arrows gathering dust in a corner. Silver was good against supernatural predators particularly lycanthrope. Hadn't been many like that since the necromancers war still... Better safe than sorry he figured. He also swung by the mess and loaded a pack with rations. Save himself the trouble of hunting on his monster hunt. Sid snagged four to be safe, two for him two for Cat. He then came out and hopped back into his saddle. "Right lets get going." With the resupply done he set off towards The Creeplands. |

She offered a nod once more to Jane and awaited Sid's return. Once he was stocked and prepared, she moved along after him for their next destination at the Creeplands - and in all honesty, she was a touch excited to find out what it was causing the trouble. Her last venture led her to cross paths with a small drake. Who know what this little trek would bring them to?
