A Druidess Wonders into Sight of the East Watch Tower

Pan would arrive in East shadow and wonder over to a near by tree at the crossroad and lean back on it, she was dressed in simple soft brown leather trousers and a jerkin, appeared to hold no weapons, and her hood was down to make sure they could see she was human, all in all she seemed to be waiting within sight of the watch tower, by close enough to the wood to flee if needed. if, or rather when Pan was questioned what in Banes name are you doing she replyed. "Waiting for the Blackfang."

Word is sent to Audrey that she is needed outside, so the pulls up her hood and strolls to the east. Upon seeing Pan, she signs softly and mutters to herself. "What in the hells does she want now?" Regardless of her frustration, she pastes on her usual cold and calm demeanor and approaches the druidess. "Pandora...what may I do for you?"

Pan would offer a small half smile, while she did not like the other woman, she did not quite dislike her either for that matter. "The same as before, nothing, I'v come only ta do me duty and if you be still be permit us entry, ta heal the land in ya domain." pan would say softly.

Upon hearing that the Black Fang has been summoned, Incantationer Vichard would keep his distance but follow behind, a sly smile across his face as he regards the two women. He would take position next to the two guards by the watchtower and watch as Audrey approaches the crossroads. He would then fold his arms behind his back and should Pandora make any hostile action he would be prepared.

Audrey regards the woman for a moment as she chooses her words carefully. "When we first met, I was under the impression you were with the House of Plenty and not with the Circle. As the Circle is an enemy of Shadowdale, I am in a delicate situation. We could work towards peace, but as long as the Lyons are in control of the Circle, the attempts will bear no fruit. With that said, I appreciate your personal proclamations of neutrality, but words, without actions, holds no weight with me. I will give you one chance to prove to me that you are no Lyon spy, sent to learn about our defenses."

Pan would look over as the person in bright red robes appeared in the background, a face of utter dislike appeared on her features for a second before she forced herself to look back, her face's expression softening.

"If it is of any vaule I am not yet a taken in as a Watcher of this Lands Circle, I am what my people might call an interloper. As for words without actions, I came to you, know I had a pretty good chance of being murdered for what I am, because I forsaw him... *says with distaine, looking over at Iggy aka Dr Evil for a second before looking back.*

"I understand your concern and respect that this is your domain, but please consider this... If I was a spy, why would I even let you know about me when I can be any creature, any tree, any bit of soil or earth in your entire town? I am here for one reason on, to serve the Land it matters not to me who is currently calling that bit of land its home." Pan... had no skill at diplomacy, at all, so now and then she might come over alittle almost agressive in her speach or blunt, but hopefuly from her other encounters with Pan, the blackfan would hopefully, hopefully relise that was Pan just being pan.

The Black Fang looks over her shoulder and follows Pan's gaze, then gives Iggy a brief nod of acknowledgment. She then turns back to the woman. "Then break ties with the Circle and simply work towards healing the land. Be the interloper you claim to be and do not ally yourself with anyone other than the land. Only then, will I allow you within our walls. Even then, you will be watched."

Pan would think for a moment. "I need to go away and speak to the others about this, no lone Druid has the authority to do such, I must respect my elders and heed their council. I will return tomorrow with the answer.. Oh and Audrey, your looking better." she would say with a faint smile before turning to leave, unless stopped by Audy... or blown up by Dr Evil and his twitchy spell fingers oh doom!

She smirks and nods. "Of course, I understand you need time. And thank you, I am feeling much better. Walk in fear, Watcher." Audrey watches Pan walk away, only turning to return to Shadowdale when the woman is out of sight, meeting up with Iggy along the way. "So the corruption begins. We shall see how far this one will go to achieve her goals." Chuckles softly as the heads back to the temple.

Iggy's sly smile would widen as Audrey speaks. As she passes he would take a deep breath of the fresh air and sneer.
".....I hate nature."
He then turns and follows the Black Fang into the city.

A Day and Night Passes, and true to her word the Young Druid returns, once more only wearing leather trousers a shirt and leather jerkin and having held no weapons. Leaning back on the same tree, she would wait...

Pandora's presence is soon brought to Audrey's attention so the priestess, again, goes to greet the Watcher. "Pandora, I trust you have a decision for me?"

Pan would nods softly. "Of course, I am a woman on my word after all, which is why I am very picky about when I make promises... None the Less, I spoke to the others in my group and we all are in agreement, A new Circle is being formed as we speak, one which is fully devoted to the Old Ways and our Duty to Nature." Pan would say, stooping and Giving Audy a chance to speak, and to catch her breath and plan what to say next.

"I am pleased to hear this; you have made the right decision. However, trust is not given, it is earned. I will require the names of members before we move forward. Congratulations, Watcher, you have taken the first step towards peace."

Pan Nods softly. "You have my name, the others will have to decide for themselves if they wise to share theirs, as such I will ask them not to venture onto your lands, nor enter your town or villages unless the land on which your township stands is directly threaten by a force which would destroy your domain and greviously harm the land. Until such a time as the others deciding for themselves if they wish to have any dealings, I will be your contact should have need of me. I honestly do not forsee us walking your streets in our free time, the relationship I hope to foster between us is a professional working one, you call us if their is a threat to the land you require our assistance with, and those that have volentered their names will come." Pan winces for a moment before rubbing her side and then continuing.

"The way in which I intend this to work, not just with Shadowdale but everyone else. We will be friends with those that respect our ways and in turn we will respect theirs, we will offer aid to those that respect nature, because in the end, polictics and personal opinions aside we all have to get by on this land, and we will not get involed in politics unless we forsee a dieaster you can not, at which point we will simple point it out... That an corrupting the land or raising vast armys of undead, just will have an ill impact on whoever does such, and no I do not mean from us.." pan would say, clearly fight back her outright hate and dieguest at the very idea of undead.

The Druids Circle is hear to serve the land and assist those who befriend us, we will always be contactable if aid and advise is needed, this is how it will work, because no one wants a entire Circle of Druids involed in a war.. Far Sighted, Thinking Druids, who do not charge in, but just their resources... which is everything..

So erm.. did I cover everything? I dont think I missed anything out.

Audrey's gaze moves to Pan's side at the wince (heal 32), then looks back up into Pan's eyes before replying. "Of course you will not be strolling through out streets. I cannot allow you to come into Shadowdale unguarded. If you seek entry, send a message to me and I will arrange your security detail. Anyone one of your number seeking entry will need to do the same. His or her face is to be uncovered, be unarmed, and will give his or her name. It is not often our lands are damaged, but with our many enemies, it does happen. I will respect your ways for as long as you show proper respect to the Zhentarim at all times." Audrey then smiles warmly, though it doesn't reach her eyes, "Are we agreed?"

Pan seems to have broken ribs. "With all respect Audrey, any dealings I have with Shadowdale will be souly though you if such is possible or someone of the Church whom ya pick, I was respectful to a guard once, he dragged me down a cell an had some ghoul eat me.... Aye.. then tarnish me honor by saying I lied.. ne matter, pasts past eh?" she would say with a smile, but her eyes would show that she still was not entirely over it, him." But none the less, Aye I understand, Yee house yee rules an all." Pan would say before rolling her shoulder. "Send word when you want me and mine to show up to take care of the sickened land... oh one last thing...."

Audrey takes a step forward after recognizing the druid's injuries. "Should you agree, you would be under my protection anytime you come to town. No one can touch you." She then stops to listen.

If I can get that in words, one copy for me self one copy for the Records at the Circle an nee..." *Pan take a moment to breath but put her hand up showing she does not want healing.* Tis Just Broken ribs, Dire Boar caught me by surprise, Ill regenirate it soon enough. But in anycase I be accepting if me tiny request is deemed acceptable ta yee. Oh an the last thing was, in the event one of my, ever did a crime, I would ask that they be held, an unharmed until one of us, most likely me for now, come ta take them away, if their be a fine, it will be paided but we, will be one the ones ta deciline our own, same for yee own, should the ever be caught doing vile acts to which are unlawful ta you, on our land, we will old erm till ye arrive ta pick erm up, we will nee give one of yee own to a force yee consider an enermy, however... if one of yee own performs a henious crime agienst one of yee foes.. slaughting oh children, violation of woman.. the real wrong stuff that all decent folks are dieguested at, we will offer a safe place for ya to tray erm, before the other force as witness, and vice versa, due to it may not be safe for yee own ta try and escort said vile prisoner back... if that made sense.." stratches her head. "Mmm starting ta think I was an owl last night.." Pan adds. * "This is an idea mind yee, not a condition, just though it would save assle for us all, what yee think?"

"It is an unacceptable condition and you are asking for too much. As for papers, they are not necessary since you will be under guard anytime you are inside our walls. You will simply have to trust that my word is law."

"As I said, tis was a idea, but sure thing so be it, as for the paper, I trust ya word, an I think you know I be speaking the truth there, but ye know ya men, they like to see things written down, Im just thinking ahead how ta make my vists as smooth as uneventful as possible, after all, ye will get new soilders who might not know me and that I am under ye protection, still tis ya call, yee the Boss ere." Pan would say flashing a honest smile.

Audrey simply chuckles. "Then you will be given a temporary permit when you are in town but it will be taken away when you leave. I simply cannot allow you to hold papers so you can enter unguarded."

That, is all I was After." Pan would Say flash a childish toothy grin.* "Ill wait here whenever im called till the escort an papers arrive, only time ill enter town without erm, is when you need to worry as something big will be appening.. well I guess thats all, unless you av anything ta say to me?" Pan would pull out a small pouch of dryed herbs. "Meditation herbs, try erm next time yee meditate, can smoke erm from a pipe of burn erm like insense, either case till next we meet Audrey."

Audrey waves the herbs away. "I have no need for assistance in that regard." She gives Pandora a sincere smile in return. "I will send word for you should I have a need. As for the field, meet me here tomorrow and I will have a detail prepared to guard you as you work. In the meantime, take care of yourself and beware of large boars." She gestures to Pan's broken ribs. "Walk in fear, Watcher."

Aye, an you live fully an in health." Pan would say before walking off.
