Talk to Blawynn.

..As ordered, I have called for mercenaries to participate
in the search. However, the main entrance is blocked.
|
| Ronaun
|
We cannot afford to lose any more time.
Is there another way inside?
|
| Blawynn
|
I'm afraid not, sir. The magicians of the Pontiff's Court have
ordered that we proceed no further.
They report that there are signs of a summoning ritual.
|
| Ronaun
|
A summoning ritual? Within the ruins?
Have they said what was summoned?
|
(Blawynn casts a critical glance at the mercenaries.)
| Ronaun
|
I see.
You are dismissed for now.
(The assembled mercenaries file out of the room.)

|
| Blawynn
|
the magicians have refused to share any futher information.
I assume it's something relevant ot the Court's own ritual.
|
| Ronaun
|
So... a similar rotual to that of the Court was found in the wake
of the Fomor's retreat. That's more than a little suspicious.
|
| Blawynn
|
That's not all. From what I could gather, they didn't actually
find traces of the summoning ritual.
They found traces of what was summoned.
How should we proceed, sir?
Should I see about... persuading the magicians?
|
| Ronaun
|
No. The summonign ritual is the Court's greatest secret.
Any magician who knows of it will be untouchable.
There may even be magical safeguards in play here
We must proceed with the utmost caution.
|
| Ronaun
|
What we need is magician who is not connected
with the Pontiff's Court in any way...
|
| Blawynn
|
But the Guild Magicians are all...
Wait, ther is one, come to think of it.
A magician in Colhen, where the new base is planned.
|
| Ronaun
|
Are you sure he has absolutely no ties to the Court?
|
| Blawynn
|
Positive, sir. He's called Brynn, and he's notorious among
magicians for his solitude and... unseemly manner.
A priest once tried to break int his home, and was
cursed with purple skin for a week.
|
| Ronaun
|
That does sound familiar.
Perhpas this fellow has a talent for summoning.
If he can get the best of a priest, then he must
be unusually skilled.
What an excellent time to have mercenaries on hand.
Put out a call to the Crimson Blades in Colhen.
When you form the squad, ensure that you have only
mercenaries in the ranks.
|
| Ronaun
|
Surely I do not need to clarify my order?
|
| Blawynn
|
...No sir. Understood, sir.
|
| Ronaun
|
Cief Cade Blawynn. I know you are inexperienced
in handing such matters personally.
However, these duties are central to the role of any
Royal Knight. I expect you go grow into this role.
I have complte faith in your abilities, which is why
I intend to promote you to knight when this war ends.
|
| Blawynn
|
Thank you, sir, for your kind words.
|
| Ronaun
|
Tne good luck.
Report immediately once the matter is settled.
|
| Blawynn
|
Yes, sir.
...This could mean that if things go wrong,
they might abandon... And I could...?
No, no, it's disloyal to even think about it.

|
| Blawynn
|
(Blywynn addresses the assembled mercenaries.)
...Thank you very much for your patience.
I have a commission for the Crimson Blades of Colhen.
Please recruit a magician and bring him to Ben Chenner.
I will accompany you, and I intend to leave immediately.
