GM: Hakeem flies in to Thusia around noon along with his sister Laurana on her royal griffon, the diamond of Bondorr gleaming in his dark steel breastplate, the sword of Bondorr in his scabbard.
chris107: Hakeem is quiet but determined
chris107: He needs to know...
Smon: (Gracyone has no history AFAIK; Sandor is a prince from Soderfjord on the world of Mystara). Most of the local lords have already arrived and many come to greet him with hails as he lands on the village green.
chris107: How things stand in the North with his Barbarian brothers and the Cadtle of Wode?
Smon: Among them he sees the dwarf Kogor of Kolda, now richly garbed in heavy gold, grinning proudly. "Hail Lord Hakeem! Old friend!" Hakeem sees Tagoler, Lord of the Rangers, alongside Anna Souvari Thuruar's Ranger girlfriend.
chris107: He will play it quiet for starts.
Smon: Kogor bows brashly: "Meet the new Thegn of Theber - meself!"
Smon: Hakeem hasn't spoken to the Rangers recently, but Tagoler comes forward to greet him.
chris107: Hakeem remembers the Dwarves hero from the early days in Selatine
chris107: He greets him warmly. As he does all of those who stood by him in the war agin Yusan.
Smon: Tagoler: "Greetings, Lord Hakeem. The North is quiet at present - Lord Thuruar has led the Feathered Bear Altanians through Altani territory to aid your western kin against the Black Sun."
chris107: He shakes the bold Rangers hand and looks him in the eye.
Smon: Anna: "Thuruar and his tribe have joined with the remaining Mountain Lion barbarians to fight the Black Sun garrisoned at Madcat Mountain."
chris107: "Both Lord Thuruar and I wish to bring peace to our lands. And without your aid, this will not happen. We need the goodly folks of Nerath to aid us."
Smon: Tagoler nods: "I sent two scouts to aid him through Hara territory. Thuruar knows to be cautious, not to fight the Warbringer without you at his side."
chris107: "What news do we have from Madcat Mountain?"
Smon: Hakeem sees Lady Meda approaching, alongside Damne.
Smon: Tagoler: "No news yet - the going is tough this time of year..."
chris107: He bows deeply and with great respect
Smon: Lady Meda bows back. "Welcome, Lord Hakeem. I am very glad you could come. How is Aenor?"
chris107: "Lord Tagoler, would you excuse me?" He turns to Meda
Smon: "Of course milord."
chris107: He looks the Lady Meda in the eyes. "My dear and respected Lafy..."
chris107: "I will joyfully tell you of the master smith. But please. I beg. News of my wife and son?"
Smon: Meda smiles: "They are well - Damne, go tell Malenn her husband is come home."
chris107: "It is over a year since our marriage. And we have barely seen each other."
Smon: Damne nods and hurries off.
chris107: "Thank you." He says simply.
Smon: Meda smiles. "Your son is growing quickly! Come..."
chris107: "Now as to Aenor...."
chris107: He talks as they walk
Smon: Meda escorts Hakeem towards her Hall. As he approaches, Malenn appears at the doorway, looking radiant with the babe suckling at her breast. "Hakeem!" she cries out joyfully.
chris107: "The mighty Mage-Smith has worked wonders my lady. "
chris107: Lost for a moment a year touches the Dlayers eye
chris107: He grasps those he loves most to his manly chest
chris107: "Is this our boy?"
chris107: "I shall build for him an empire!"
Smon: Malenn kisses Hakeem passionately while a cheering crowd gathers round. "Aye, silly!" she grins. "You were there at his birth, remember!"
chris107: Tear and Slayers by the way
Smon: (I guessed)
chris107: "But he has grown so?!"
chris107:
Smon: Malenn: "Yes - and always hungry!"
Smon: The baby looks up happily at Hakeem, extends a chubby hand.
chris107: Hakeem grins widely
chris107: Hakeem takes it, amazingly gently, in his huge callused hand.
Smon: Malenn: "You must tell me all about your adventures in the North - the Reforging..."
Smon: Meda: "There will be time for that, Lady Malenn. I need to talk with Hakeem about the Council tonight."
chris107: He smiles in turn to his wife, child and friend Lady Meda.
chris107: Then turns to the gathered throng.
chris107: Usually a quiet fellow, his heart fills with pride
chris107: He draws the mighty blade of Bondorr.
chris107: Holding it up high
chris107: "Our trials have not been in vain."
chris107: "Our efforts have been rewarded."
chris107: "HERE IS THE BLADE OF MIGHTY BONFORR REFORGED!"
Smon: The Altanians present (including Chief Minars Rapak of Greywolf) cheer loudly, the Ghinarians and Amazons applaud more politely.
Smon: A huge Altanian - Kaag Tigerkiller - yells: "BONDORR!!! BONDORR!" waving his huge axe enthusiastically.
chris107: Hakeem quietly looks for his mother
chris107: Assuming she will be with the boorish Kath
chris107: Kaag
Smon: Hakeem doesn't see his mother, it seems to be mostly Seawolf Altani... but there he spots Laara, the Psychic Defender who closed the Black Sun Gate. She waves back, cheering.
Smon: OOC Need to get out to my swim shortly.
chris107: He grins at her, fondly
chris107: That will do for me Simon
chris107: A nice scene setter
