Erik Haldar
Established
Roleplay posts: 36 
Age: 59
Physical Description: Scarred from battle and with long white hair and beard Erik is marked by life, and his old body is still still very much fit and ready for battle.
Clothes and Equipment: Gold and gems aren't his way of showing off power. Instead you will see him carrying his prized masterwork sword and runed iron ring, the latter which symbolizes the ultimate power in Taingaard. He often wears a fur cape that extends down to his heels, but also adorns himself in plate armor when travelling outside the city walls.

Tain Erik donned a wide smile as Roxanne accepted her new rank.
"Then it is with honor, that I name you Blood Brother and along with that you may suffix to your name both 'Witch Slayer' and 'Fairy Bane' and be known as such and demand that other call you this also." Erik said and raised his chin. "Stand strong, Blood Brother Roxanne Fletcher, Witch Slayer and Fairy Bane!" Erik commanded her to stand up again. "After this you will receive the blood tattoo to indicate your status by my Blood Sorceress. She will be back in about a week to perform it. Until then carry this silver pendant around your neck - it will also prove to her that I've sent you." Erik said and smiled indicating with his open palm to step back with her group.
Listening to two of the group members Erik nodded understandingly.
"Mister Mindaugas and miss Nofaló it is honorable of you to not take the money and such actions will command more respect than any riches will in Taingaard." he said to both of them and nodded at Deidra. "Your words are kind and shows that it was the right team that won - not only in skill - but in spirit too!" the Tain's smile ever so subtly widened. Erik was curious about this odd familiar he had seen her wearing like an armor while in the Hunt but also of her homeland. "Perhaps this evening we will meet and you can tell me more about both Gundulf and your homeland." the tain proposed politely.
Looking at the bird-human hybrid Erik noticed her 'enthusiasm' about the prize she was handed and also how it did not entirely match with her words about honor and the way she spoke about the Hunt.
"Lady Khepri, you're quite unique in your group and have had a special role to play in this Hunt. I am not sure that you understand honor as we do in Taingaard, but I saw you saving Miss Nofaló and that itself is very noteworthy." Erik said thinking he was going to reserve judgement on this one and that the, often rash, statements he saw in the Hunt might be that of another culture.
"So we're standing here with two sacks of gold we don't know what to do about..." Erik said and took one in each hand gazing at Khepri and Roxanne with a friendly smile. "So therefore..." Erik said and turned his gaze to Rudiger. "I will go by your advice. We recently had a guy who was walking this forest having been attacked by a fairy - he was both poisoned and beaten up roughly so it had to be more than just that one little pixie." Erik said and frowned rubbing his chin. "Actually I think this was your area, so it could have been the same fairy you caught! This shows why we must confront these monsters! And at the same time these six hundred gold will go to that poor guy!" Erik said handing the sacks of gold to one of his servants.
"So has it run its course! Congratulations again and may you enjoy the rest of your stay and this evening in particular!" Erik spread his arms before bowing to them and the door would be opened behind them again and guards stepping aside making room.

Roxanne was more than a little surprised when not one but two of her teammates declined the cash prize, but decided that she probably shouldn't have been. They both seemed like self-righteous do-gooders anyways. That was their problem, though. She'd gotten her reward, and was going to keep every little bit of it for herself. At least nobody had gotten hurt...or at least, nobody in her group. As the Tain mentioned the unfortunate man who'd been both poisoned and beat up, she glanced around at the group, praying that they wouldn't be overcome by noble sentiment and let the truth slip out. After all, the man was getting 600 gold pieces. He was getting off easy, and everyone was winning.
"Fairies can be dangerous creatures," she said, slipping the ring onto her finger. "I hope Tain Torrinsdottir will put this one to good use for something responsible. Thank you again for the honors and the experience of the hunt, sir."
She returned the bow, taking it as a dismissal, and headed out towards the door.

Rudiger Dornmauer
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 229
Age: 30
Physical Description: Rudiger is tall at 6'3", and muscularly built from his profession. His skin is weathered from his life on the road, with the first wrinkles of age appearing at the sides of his mouth and his eyes, and thick calluses on his right hand from wielding his sword. His light brown hair has been sheered to a fade parted on the right side, and his strong chin that was once covered by thick goatee has been shaved to stubble, but his thick mustache has remained. His most prominent feature is a thick scar and his missing left eye, which he covers with a black eyepatch, which he lost in a fight with a bear.
____________________________________________________________
Clothes and Equipment: Rudiger wears a variety of cloths, depending on the situation. For battle, he wears a blue gambeson underneath steel plate armor, which encases him from head to foot. He wears a bellow faced sallet helm, which he learned to wear from the loss of his eye. He wields a hand and half sword, with a decorative eagle on the pommel. He also carries a kite shield, painted with his coat of arm, a black eagle on a red and orange checkered field.
When he's not in battle, he wears a white wool shirt, and thick woolen black pants. He always wears his tan riding boots.
He owns a dapple grey destrier, and a heavy wooden saddle with a high cantle and pommel covered in thick leather.

Rudiger bowed deeply at the Tain's reply, "I appreciate your decision and charity greatly Tain Erik, and I'm sure the poor soul will as well. And on much happier tidings, I wish to request a royal audience with your highness at your earliest convenience." He remained bowed for a moment as he watched Roxanne retreat past them, catching what appeared to be... disdain for a heartbeat as she looked at him and Deidra. Well of course he had originally met her when she was traveling with the Bird lady, so he couldn't be too surprised she was of low moral character to judge an act of base humanity as such. Straightening, he remained at his spot for the Tain's reply.

Khepri
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 173
Physical Description: Smattered in golden feathers, Khepri glimmers from dawn to dusk. Vast, dark wings spread outward from her broad hips, supporting an otherwise petite frame.
Black hair, straight as a waterfall, surrounds a round face. She has sharp, dangerous eyes that mimic the time of day, plump lips that tell you what you want to hear, and honey-sweet skin to ease her features.
Though the woman seems like a nubile goddess, fingers that end in claws and feet ending in talons do add a frighteningly harsh reality to her image.
When the sun vanishes from the sky, all that is not human about the woman departs, leaving a small, defenseless dame behind.
________________________________________________
Clothes and Equipment: Khepri carries little, save for the string around her neck that holds a round gemstone absorbing sunlight.
When out of sunlight and without the gem, her wings become a heavy cloak.

Khepri made no further comment on the lucky soul who would be winning the gold. She was sure Roxy would have liked to pocket it, but she had enough on her hands.
With a flourish and a curtsey, the Birdwoman bowed again and thanked him with a bit more honestly this time, but only because he managed to lightly stroke her ego. Her grin was as smug as they came.
"May that poor soul find some solace on his bed of gold," she said as she plucked the ring from its holder. "It truly was an honor. Farewell, Tain Erik Haldar."
She parted after Roxanne, strides small but swift, taking only a moment to peer at Rudiger and Deidra before she was gone.

Deidra Nofaló
Committed
Roleplay posts: 81
Age: 22
Physical Description: She stands at a formidable 178 centimeters and is exceedingly well trained and toned. She has an athletic build that had been nurtured since she began her training as a knight at 7 years old. Her hair is a golden blonde and is usually carefully braided back or twisted in a bun when in combat or training. She has piercing grey eyes that seem to take all of the surroundings and she doesn't have the most approachable outwardly expression.
Clothes and Equipment: She typically carries a long sword and a buckler with her. Built into the pommel of her sword is her family's crest, the winged wolf. This is also mirrored in her more ornate armor which has the wolf's head built into her shoulder and the wings in her elbows and behind her knees. She prefers to wear a lighter set of armor when training and sparring though or when walking around town so she can blend in more easily without being recognized.

Gundulf gave Roxy a dirty look and even gave her a rough growl as she passed as if he heard and sensed the thoughts directed at his master. Which he very well could have. Before he went as far as nipping at her heels, Deidra stepped forward so his snout ended up pressed to her shin and she gave him a light swat on the ear in admonishment. The way the female knight thought of her and her decisions were not of her concern. Their moral compass simply didn’t align. That was no cause for any undue hostility. Even if Gundulf didn’t think so. The bird woman had ‘saved’ her as well and they appeared to be friends as well, so she couldn’t do wrong by her of sound mind.
“I would be honored to meet with you Tain Haldar and tell you as much of my tale as I might. Gundulf is rather protective of his secrets though as you may imagine.” She mused softly. Taingaard was a lovely country but she was not completely sure if their people were necessarily… the best to start her mission. Speaking with Tain may change her mind.

The tain cleared his throat hearing Khepri talk about the man.
"Yesss... I'm sure once his concussion, broken nose, broken jaw and restless nights haunted by his misfortunes are gone, he will have time to enjoy the money." Erik added calmly as he would address Rudiger.
"Mister Mindaugas I can only accept that since you have been acting with every kind of honor both before, and after the Hunt. How about tomorrow before dinner? I don't plan to participate in the festivities to such an extend we cannot put it there..!" the tain chuckled.
"Then we shall meet there and we'll have a talk - maybe we can exchange a few secrets even!" the Tain proposed to Deidra
"Farewell good warriors and enjoy your time here!" bowing his head with both hands on his back wishing the winning team the best.
