Representing Ronduin

[Kender Bard]

Valkor stood atop a hill and shielded his eyes against the noon sun's glare and let out a low whistle. "So that's Sensatiamens," he mused as he surveyed the not-too-distant city and its eye and imposing walls. "Those giant walls are sure an eyesore. Think they helped the folks inside against the demons any?"

[Devon]

Lucid stood beside him, looking out at the land as well. "I'd imagine they'd make for a strong defense, but when you're against demons how strong could it really be?" he replied.

[Kender Bard]

"Well I guess we better hope they held strong," Valkor replied, wiping the sweat off his forehead as he glanced back at their entourage who was catching up to the two younger men. "You're here to ask for help, after all, right?"

[Devon]

"Right," Lucid said, waiting for the others. "If they need help we may have to pitch in a little as well. Hopefully someone here will be able to teleport us for safer traveling," he explained.

[Kender Bard]

"No point in standing around gabbing then," one of the older men there grunts as he catches his breath on the hill. "Let's go. What do we do, ring a bell or something right?"

"I hope not," Valkor laughed harshly. "It'd have to be a hell of a bell."

[Devon]

Lucid laughed, not seeing a bell, though he had heard that there was one at some point. "There is probably a guard or something around right now," he said walking forward heading towards the gate.

[Kender Bard]

The group traveled up to the gates, heading to where there was clearly a break in the form of the massive doors. Currently, they stood shut. As the group drew closer, two Mind guards teleported in front of them, having spotted from their perch at the top of the wall.

"What is your business in Sensatia?" one of the guards asked.

[Devon]

Lucid stepped forward and answered the guards. "I'm Lucid Knowles, the son of Ronduin's leader Cascata," he began. "Ronduin was hit hard by a demon attack and I've come seeking any aid I can to help rebuild Ronduin."

[Kender Bard]

The guards lightly scanned his mind and those of his companions to confirm the story and seek out any thoughts that could suggest hostilities. They seemed satisfied with the answers given and together teleported the group within the safety of the walls.

Valkor jerked in surprise at the sudden teleport. "Warn a guy, will you?" he snapped. The guards didn't bother to respond.

[Devon]

Lucid smirked at Valkor before focusing back on the guards escorting them. "How badly did the demons attack here?" he asked them

[Kender Bard]

One of the guards shifted uneasily and gestured. "You can't see it so well from here, but there was some damage done to the homes. Mostly on the inside but a few buildings destroyed. Most of the damage was done to the people. Those.... things changed folks. Killed a few, aye, but made them go loopy. And now most of the Fires are gone with their own kind somewhere into the south."

[Devon]

Lucid nodded solemnly. "This has been hard on everyone. I'm sorry to hear that, while we're here we can help if need be."

[Kender Bard]

The guards just nodded idly. One of them spoke up. "I'm not sure if Master Redway is about. But if not, I'm almost positive that one of the other advisers are available. Sir."

[Devon]

"That will be fine," Lucid replied. "And please you don't have to be so formal, Lucid is fine," he told them.

[Kender Bard]

The two guards glanced at one another after a long silence and then the other finally cleared his throat and asked, "Do you need directions?"
