The Wraiths of Ilien - Part 2

[DM B]

OOC: I'm assuming that the Pontiff is calling upon Baron Enlien and the RCS to finish what was started last turn. For you plan to work you have to keep the Shadow Ward up; it was cast last turn, so its effective now. Perhaps the Countess of Ilien will join in as well. I don't know.

Conceptually this happens BEFORE you leave for the S&C, so try not to get killed 

[X-IHH/Wallac Isilviere (Kasper)]

OOC: Yes indeed. I have spammed RSC, Bellamie, Tornilien & Illien with dispatches days ago. I believe I even remembered including you as CC though I seems to f... up with the DM as CC every now and then

[DM B]

OOC: I did notice those mails, so I thought it prudent to make a thread here so that it won't be forgotten.

[X-Tornilen/SM (Alexander)]

OOC: The Swordmage will be joining this one as well. Since this is before the S&C, I will be here no matter what happens in the duel.

[DM B]

IHH: Make a post here when the party has gathered (i.e. committed to adventure actions); before that I won't  be replying.

[X-IHH/Wallac Isilviere (Kasper)]

Her Excellency the Countess of Ilien has been given notice as well as detailed layouts of the patrol patterns and positions of IHH units, the brave Justicars.

The sewer guides arrive, consisting of men from both the guilds working in the sewers; rat-hunters and servicemen alike.

The party prepares to enter the catacombs once again.

[OOC: Wallac Isilviere present together with his bodyguard of 20 haelyn Knights, Arch-bishop Bellamie & Rogal Destar. Please state who is ready to enter]

[X-Bellam & BC/TB (Bobby)]

Baron Bellamie has attached himself and his two guards to the Pontiff's party.  He wears the same light armor, long blade, and oiled cloak as before, but has added a light helm with an attachment of mail that wraps around his lower face, hiding a few minor cuts from the last engagement - he clearly has no interest in further facial scars.

[DM B]

OOC: Can we please have a confirmation post from Sm and/or Ilien if they are spending any actions towards participating/aiding the adventure? If not we'll simply start the ball without them.

[X-IHH/Wallac Isilviere (Kasper)]

RCS said they where going as well

[X-DM Jon]

OoC: Kasper, would you write them and find out if they're in or out? Cheers.

[X-IHH/Wallac Isilviere (Kasper)]

OOC: The Swordmage will be joining this one as well. Since this is before the S&C, I will be here no matter what happens in the duel.

She will be there - only Alex is slow posting; I think he mentioned he is finishing some serious paper comming wedneysday

[X-Medoere & RCS/KE (Thorsten)]

Kaven Enlien and Patriarch Baerelan stand ready, both in ornate breastplates with Ruornils crescent moon resplendent on the polished surface.
Behind them, eight men, all crack soldiers from the renowned Celestial Knights, and four ruornite clerics, also in chain or breastplate stand ready.
Each man has a small leather sheath tied to their leg, with two vials filled with holy water. A last resort in case the foe is untouchable by normal metal.

"Ruornil guide our way through the Darkness..." Kaven mutters, as he turns to his eight warriors and take a knee with them in a half circle, each man representing one of Ruornils original Celestial Spells. Patriarch Baerelan and the clerics walk from man to man uttering the words of an old rite for combating the shadows minions, calling for the moonlord to assist each man in turn.

Finally, with an 'Amen' and a sound of metal grating against metal, the 8 knights and the Baron stand up. Kaven nods to the Pontiff.
"... And Haelyn lend us the fire of righteousness, to cleanse out this dark spawn, once and for all. Are your allies ready, Pontiff? For then we can strike with alactricity and cleanse Ilien of the filth that taints it.""

[X-Tornilen/SM (Alexander)]

The Swordmage arrives alone.

She is wearing her Mask and Robe of Blades. Metal reinforced boots hit the cobblestones hard as she marches towards the gathered warriors and regents. She stops before them, drawing her sword from her should sheath, then indicates the entrance to the sewers.

"I am ready, shall we finish this?"

[X-Ilien & PCE/GeM (Linde)]

OOC: Illien is using no action on this adventure

[DM B]

OK; adventure will commence tomorrow. It will be fairly short.
