Reinforcements|Eresserod, Talen'sul

[adris]

The messenger from Acoia arrived as fast as they could, out of breath from running just about every minute that they weren't already sleeping. They move into the front foyer, message clutched like it was the last thing keeping them to life. He was panting heavily, and the look on his face shows signs of him having vomited at least once before making the front gate. In a nutshell, he was in a hurry to get there.

"Message... for the master..."

He held it for someone to take with his left hand, clutching at his chest with his right. He was needing to sit down, his only job was to deliver the letter which just met with completion. There was something that kept his legs moving, and he could only explain it as his faith in Efil.

The monk the greeted him nodded, ushering the messenger in and having him sit down somewhere while the message was carried to the Master. Several minutes later, a monk returned with a reply. "Would you be willing to stay the night while the Grand Master deliberates over this?"

[adris]

The man has had more rest and could therefore speak more clearly. He was obviously the first of the two factions to petition Eresserod, or else the master monk would give no time for thought at all.

"Please, this is a serious issue. No need to rush your master. I shall wait wherever you have a place for me to rest."

[Kender Bard]

The messenger was given quarters. That night, the Grand Master left the Monastery for the first time in years in order to make a special trip...

The next day, a note was brought to the messenger. "The Grand Master bids you to return to Acoia with his polite refusal, sir. We've prepared provisions for you, so you need not be hampered by your necessities during your trip."
