[Taricus]

: "Right, good work you two. I'll go take up a forward position in the forest. You two go get some sleep, and I'll see you in the morning."

[Sirus]

: "You sure? It's almost my turn to take watch."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Eh, maybe I should take up this forward position with him. Gregor, talk later?"

Chris turned to Adrien.

"After you."

[Praefectus Screptum]

Tantallos waved a hand to the soldier.

"Gregor, if you want to talk for a bit, I will keep awake for now."

[Sirus]

"Eh, maybe I should take up this forward position with him. Gregor, talk later?"

: "Yeah, sure. See you two tomorrow."

Gregor wandered back to camp and settled onto his bedroll. Or at least that's what he was going to do, until...

Tantallos waved a hand to the soldier.

"Gregor, if you want to talk for a bit, I will keep awake for now."

First Chris, now Tantallos. He wasn't sure what was going on, but he could only theorize that the dead of night made cloaked individuals more talkative.

: "We might have a long march tomorrow, Tantallos, and you'll need your rest. If you're up to it, I suppose I can talk. What's up?"

[Taricus]

: "So long as you stay hidden, we'll be good. Let's move."

[Praefectus Screptum]

"I already took some naps during those discussions earlier, I will be fine. I just want to know about your story, I am surprised you never saw a shaman."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Oh, I think I can handle myself just fine."

[Blade Master Model 42]

On the grounds that others are awake, and no one is bursting into the camp with naked steel, Valor tries to resume sleep.

[Sirus]

"I already took some naps during those discussions earlier, I will be fine. I just want to know about your story, I am surprised you never saw a shaman."

((Haspan, Imma make some minor assumptions here. If they conflict with some lore I can't find, let me know and I'll retcon this part))

: "It's not so surprising. The city of Garnes has this preconception that ancient or "dark" magic is the work of demons. As a result, if any shamans do visit the city they must keep a low profile or risk getting thrown out by superstitious mobs."

He shrugged.

: "Even among the scholars, opinion on whether dark magic is evil or just misunderstood is divided. Menelea doesn't have a whole lot of knowledge about your brand of magic."

[Haspen]

After a moment, the sound of gallopping horse returned. Then, the dark silhoutte of the cavalier could be seen again. This time, of course, he was running out of the Kesselring Forest, following the road toward Vilino.

[Sirus]

((rolling Perception check))

Gregor thought he heard something off in the distance, but he couldn't tell what it was. It didn't seem to be an immediate danger in any case.

He rolled onto his back, gazed at the stars, and tried to calm the thoughts whirling around his head.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Chris nudged Adrien with his elbow.

"There goes our friend the midnight rider again. Shall we do something about it?"

[Taricus]

: "Right, on three, we pounce him, if that's alright with you."

[Praefectus Screptum]

"I already took some naps during those discussions earlier, I will be fine. I just want to know about your story, I am surprised you never saw a shaman."

((Haspan, Imma make some minor assumptions here. If they conflict with some lore I can't find, let me know and I'll retcon this part))

: "Even among the scholars, opinion on whether dark magic is evil or just misunderstood is divided. Menelea doesn't have a whole lot of knowledge about your brand of magic."

"That doesn't surprise me at all. Ancient magic is usually seem as "evil magic" but it is not. Many of us tried to prove them that it can be used to help others, and my family had been trying to do that for years in a attempt to show other nations how useful it can be."
