Changes in Rimwood/Redemption of Kendra (cleared of all charges and walking the Halls)7

The flurry of dwarven activity ends with the Keep fo the Dwarves finally being finished. No longer connected to the Wild Boar mines the Keep now stands at the Hill with two great doors giving entrance to visitors. Many Elves of Myth Drannor and Dwarves of the Keep patrol the area north of the river as well. The large Iron Golem watching folk visit the Halls.

Word is soon being spread that Valtore is the current Lord of the Keep as Thane Targlan and Elder Grendel have left for the Desertmouth Mountains. Valtore has named Celovar Head of the Guards. He has changed the locks on all the doors and gates. ((so consider anyone who has keys that they no longer work unelss Valtore RPs giving you new keys))

Kendra, formally of Shadowdale was also escorted into the Halls by Lord Valtore, Captain Celovar, and Vincent. A elf and deep gnome were also in the group.

Snorri Bjarnson passes through Rimwood. Noticing the new entrance to the Halls, he approaches some of the Guards. He says to one, "Oi be Snorri Bjarnson. Did ma note (https://dalelandsbeyond.rpg-board.net/t15381-the-ironhouse-dwarves) get tae anydwarf? D'ye 'ave aught back for me?"

He then stands waiting for a reply.

((( OOC I'll be out-of-game for most of the weekend. )))

Upon hearing of Kendra's capture Mark writes a letter for Valtore and sends it to him before making his way to the Dwarven Halls, he enters hiding a worried look with a frown and stands in front of the jail waiting for his time to see Kendra, patiently.
This must be one of the times that Mark is barely making any ruckus at all.

Justin sends a note to Valtore:

Quote :

My friend,
It never rains but it pours. I've heard of Kendra's capture and Jack's execution. If you can, I would like to talk to you about Kendra. Please let me know if we can meet.

Sincerely,
Justin

((( OOC I'll be away most of the weekend. )))

As long as Mark does not make a ruckus or cause a disturbance he is allowed to wait patiently in a chair by the cells until q guard asks Kendra if she is willing to see him. As a prisoner she is given the right to refuse certain visitors. If she agrees he is allowed to walk to the corner of the outer wall where the two may talk observed by guards. The same goes for any other whom wish to visit her who are not memebers of the zhents, drow blood, orc blood, known warlocks or worshippers of a evil God.

//feel free to pm me if you want to know if you would be allowed to visit.

Kendra does now say much. Though she had first shown emotion upon hearing the gnomish musicbox in her cell, she has since gone quiet, the Holy Tome of Bane held close to her all times. Without reading it, she mouths the words of what is inside, staring at a wall.

Once she is asked about Mark, she looks to the guard.

"If he feels it necessary, though there is not much he can say that I will listen to, given him being an agent of Chaos.

After talking with Kendra, Mark makes his way out of the Ironhouse halls and throws his book of Ilmateri prayers into the void beneath the bridge connecting the Halls to the surface.
Banites on the Dales just gained a new enemy.

A man in crimson, gold, and bright red clothing, and an elven woman wearing gleaming mithril come to the Halls. The man claims to be a friend of Kendra's before she converted to Bane, and he wishes to speak with her.

After enough time to get out of his disguise and look like himself again, Arjay makes his way through the halls to see the prisoner.

((prefer to do this IG))

After paying Kendra a visit and accompanying Syvin to the Dwarven fort, the elven lady that joined the Thayan mage became deeply troubled. Although she left a gift for Kendra with Ravossel, Isiolia knew in her heart and mind that there was something else she could do: ask for guidance. Even though she never knew the woman prior to that night, she had never heard a song so sorrowful in her two hundred years of life...and she journeyed to Myth Drannor a few moments of exiting the fort.



((Will post the rest in another thread tomorrow. ))

*Ravossel comes and vistas Kendra as often as she can, bring her sweet treats, like honey glazed sweet rolls, rock candies and other such treats.*

Mark could be seen visiting the Ironhouse Halls once a day for about an hour, asking the guards about Kendra's fate, he looked around waiting for an answer and a frown crossed his face when people treated Kendra like the Lliiran she once was. It wouldn't take long until he started muttering under his breath about "Weaklings and traitors"

Valtore doesn't answer questions about how long Kendra is going to be there nor what her ultimate fate is. He makes some cryptic remark about "still gatherin facts ta make an informed decision." If anyone has an issue with that they are completely ignored. For now she stays where she is and that is that (in typical dwarven stubbornness). Otherwise Valtore is often very busy with matters of the keep.

after returning from his trip and study blue makes his way to the ironhouse halls to speak with kendra or at least see her..

once he is in the rimwood area he looks about a bit confused not having been there in quite some time..

he spots a dwarf and ask where he should seek kendra and valtore out at.. once pointed in the right direction he looks about at all the construction and people in the area and makes his way to the door..

he looks at the golem with a smirk and shakes his head saying always got to customize things i see he reports to a guard (either outside or inside) and announces him self as Lord Blue and he wishes to see Valtore corrects himself Lord Valtore and the prisoner kendra..

he will await permission to enter looking around taken in the sites of the area..

Valtore would meet his friend and ask him to join him for a meal to discuss things. Afterwards he would be taken to the prisoner if she was willing to see him.

A letter arrives for Valtore (PM sent).

blue would join valtore in a meal and discuss whatever he wants to discuss.. blue would be covered in a cloak with a hood and his sword beneath the loose fitting cloak would be armor which he has become accustomed to wearing.. the cloak and hood do hide his armor and sword but it is not the intention just a side benefit of his house cloak..

when blue moves beside his friend walking with him the cloak does flow freely with his movements seeming to be held back.. valtore would notice him likely moving faster than he normaly does which is why he appears to slow and control his movements.. he would also notice blue walks a little taller as if he no longer cares about his appearance of weak like he usualy does while traveling and his hands would be clasped behind him as they walked and talked..

Blue sits and eats though its obvious he is only doing so to not appear rude to his oldest friend and travel companion he does lightly sip the ale as well.. (due to his rp of only eating what he sees or prepares himself rp).. he looks up and begins to talk.. I'm sorry my old friend after being poisoned a few times its a hard habit to break i hope you understand i am trying still with those im most comfortable with.. but its been hundreds of years now i did this so it will take time to undo..

i received your letter and i hope mine reply has beaten me here as well.. i appologise for the lateness of the reply i have been away for a few weeks now studying..

he takes another small bite and a small drink what have you been up to my old friend..

Kendra often plays music from her scratched up and beaten lyre. It is never anything happy or uplifting. When she feels it is close to night, she does her best on concentrating on prayer, staring at the walls and muttering the dogma.

"I will serve none above Bane. I Fear Him and I will make sure others Fear Him more than I.

The Black Hand always strikes down those who stand against it in the end. Defy Bane and die or in death find loyalty to Him for He shall compel it."

Speaking these words softly, she would almost sound drone-like. It is all memorized.

Sometimes she listens to the gnomish music box, other times she simply stares off into nothingness, contemplating. Any visitors she accepts, but likely doesn't say too much. Her face has no expression, no emotion at this moment in time unless she plays music.

blue would sit and discuss buisness with his friend for some time before asking to see kendra once they were done talking of course..

Ahri would hurry to the Halls as quick as she can, finishing up any business in Shadowdale that she has. If she is allowed in the Halls, she would wait patiently, her eyes distant, but there is a spark of happiness. The last week had been harrowing, so much had changed. She looked forward to seeing her Sister again.

If Ahri would happen to be visiting regularly Mark would spot her fairly easy and walk to her to speak privately.

Celovar would meet Ahri at the gate giving her a nod. 

"I meant to send word, but things have been busy"
