Captured Lyon

Wood Spirit hostile approaches the entrance of city of Shadowdale with great speed from the East of Shadowdale. He stops in one spot, letting himself to be spotted by zhentarim, but on good distance away from them. The clouds change above him as it was about Storm of Vengeance to be unleashed upon the city. But he sees the running kids who are chasing chickens on the streets, which changes his decision. The Spirit form fades away and there is a Lyon standing all in green, with a note in his hand.

Leo: "The risk is too big my sister, I cannot go too far if result will harm innocents." - he speaks to himself as he closes eyes for a moment. A note from his hand is carried by a wind towards the zhentarim who saw him. And as soon they look up at the floating letter Leo blends within the nature behind him not giving them a chance to get close.

Inside letter it is written:

"I know that my sister is with you. And I know that you want me for her or at least that is what I was told. If I am wrong then let me know what is that you want for her freedom. We broke none of your laws, and whatever crimes you accuse are for now shows how much you respect your own law after we payed you in gold the amount you wanted to leave us alone (Hector took the money) and now Banites are listening to orders of a Malarites Furies. This does not have to end up with blood so it is better for you to not harm my sister in any way. You can find me in woods if you want to have the conversation and I would like to hear your terms. I promise I will not kill any messenger you have because I'd need him to pass message to you. But I will defend myself if your messengers dare to perform hostile actions. I also require proof of my sister being in good condition. With my heart breaking I do agree to see any part of her body you could send, a finger for example. Proof if needed so we know that you actually have anything to bargain with."

Lyon, Spirit of the Forest

Elena, having need of Maya being alive, who was now a burnt corpse in the Zhents jails, would demand her ressurection after order not to 'kill' the Lyon, upon receiving her corpse she'd take her to the Harvestmistress and pay for a true ressurection, diamond dust included

((Note to any Zhents, if one of you could collect the letter from Leo and hand it over to a higher ranking Zhent or one of the Malarites, that would be fab ))

Vira catches the letter with narrowed icy eyes. "Someone higher up is going to want to see this..." She says to herself, and walks into the barracks to find someone to give the letter to.

Sarla takes the letter from Vira and reads it over, writing out a letter in response shortly after. She sends this on its way via messenger hawk.

"Dearest Lyon,
Your sister is indeed our guest. I will meet you in the forests to discuss the negotiations of her release."
*Signed: Vanguard Kenson.*

After the negotiations Maya Lyon has been set free, and Leo Lyon was brought in. He can be found inside Zhentarim Barracks in jail, meditating and waiting for whatever is to come.

Evan has met Maya and got the above information.

Evan that is not wanted in Shadowdale goes around Shadowdale shopping and taking a meal and a room at the old skull.

While looking and talking a bit naive (hes just a 25yo human) he listens closely on any chatter about Leo(He does not know that Valtore Ironhouse have been arrested as well but if he hears anything on this he takes notice).

He does not ask any questions directly about Leo but more listens to other people talk and ask general questions about resent happenings just as curious people does when they have not been in town for a while.

If confronted by any official he responds that he currently has a room at the old skull and have previously been staying there as well as well as the royal oak and an inn in New Tilverton or camps outside if the weather allows it.

*An emaciated Leo Lyon can be seen being escorted out of Shadowdale by Vanguard Robison who carries his gear over her shoulder. Upon reaching the eastern borders, she returns his gear and watches him leave town before returning to her duties*

((OOC'ly, he had been left in a cell for a week and had little to no interaction. I let him go due to the unfairness of the situation of him not being able to play his character during this time.))
