With the party members safe and well, Kemuel turned his attention and looked with concern at the Ringmaster. He had been fooled once, and was in no mood to be fooled again.

"Why should we trust you, Ringmaster? All is not as it seems with you. Please explain."

EDIT:

OOC: Sweet! I really enjoyed that! Especially the combo attacks with Exile and Kemuel! Beastly!

Arkades gave an odd little jig, turning circles around his cane. "Victory! Thank the Light!" He fell to his knees, prayer book in front of him, and began murmuring under his breath.

OOC: You, sir, are an awesome DM, and I couldn't have asked for better adventuring companions. That was all sorts of fun! :D

You see the fear in his eyes as he cowers under your Longsword.

"Wha-what? Who are you? Why am I here? The last thing I remember... I... we," he is lost in thought for a minute, before resuming, "we were planning for the fight to drive the primitives out of Northbrook. Then... nothing. Darkness."

"Please," he says, stretching an arm towards you from the ground, "tell me, what has happened? How did I get here? And why do you hold your sword to me?"

OOC: Yeah, that was cool. :)
He knelt before the man "We took care of the battle of Northbrook. I am Exile, Captain of the Wanderers and Veteran of the Shield Legion."

OOC: Thanks! Glad you had fun!

As we begin the next quest, I will write this one up into story form. I'm only going to change it around and make a few additions and subtractions here and there so that it's smoother, I will definitely try to keep true to your characters. :)

Landeril: He knelt before the man "We took care of the battle of Northbrook. I am Exile, Captain of the Wanderers and Veteran of the Shield Legion."
"Exile, yes, of course! Exile... what has happened to me?," the Ringmaster asks, holding a bump on his forehead.

"We won the battle! Yet why do you assault me?"

"You attacked us Ringmaster." He pointed to the others "These are the Legion Warriors who I accompanied here my friend." He offered his hand to the Ringmaster "Guys, meet my once employer, Ringmaster."

"Ohhhhhh my head hurts," he sighs, "Why would I have attacked you? What is this... Legion?"

"A Force united to restore the Knights of the Ton." He sighs as he looks down at Ringmaster "A Spell mayhaps?"

Landeril: "A Force united to restore the Knights of the Ton." He sighs as he looks down at Ringmaster "A Spell mayhaps?"
"The Knights of the *what*?," he asks, puzzled. "How damn long was I out for, my good man? There is powerful magic at work here.

"Exile, we did defeat the Lich, did we not? This sounds like his doing. Is it possible I was... possessed? What was I doing... how was I acting?"
"Hm."

Kemuel took a moment to take the Ringmaster's demeanour in.

His face didn't soften, but after a moment said, "..fine. I believe your words. I am Kemuel, and my Longsword is poised above you because we actually met minutes ago, when you duped us and summoned evil to attack us. Hence my caution."

Nevertheless, silently and without taking his eyes off the fallen man, Kemuel slowly lowered his Longsword and pulled the Ringmaster to his feet.

"We won at Northbrook, and we who survived founded the Legion of the Shield. A Brotherhood devoted to finally ending the threat of the Primitives.

"Some 'thing' had power over you, so some evil clearly stalks us and wishes us ill. So tell me Ringmaster, what now?
Exile's eyes lit up at the thought of the Lich, as he nods "Yes. That creature took you over. I wondered where you had vanished too after the battle." The Vasar stated as he looks at the Ringmaster, "That means it is not yet destroyed. I'll be stuck in research if the Wanderers knew I let him escape. Rest in peace White Elk, Hero..."

"Summoned? Do you mean to tell me that I was using magic? I have never touched the stuff," he says, laughing, "makes me sick to my stomach. Yes, surely, there is some force of evil at work here.

"Let us return to the rest of your... guild... and plot our course of action.

"But in the mean time, I owe all of you a debt of gratitude for my rescue. How might I repay you? I have a large cache of items that might be of interest to you.

"Tell you what, how about you each describe yourself to me in just one word, and I will do my best to match the reward to the person? Sound good?"
"Magical." The Shadow Knight stated with a smirk "But you still owe me a debt of payment over my lost companions."

"This is dreadful news. We must see to it that this ancient evil does not resurface once more."


OOC: Everyone try to describe your character to the Ringmaster in ONE WORD and he'll match a reward to the word!

He nods to the words of the Ringmaster "Magical." Was the word he used.
