With the residents of the wood growing bolder, High Marshal Luther Hoss has declared a new crusade against them, with it came a call for aid from knight Orders, other lands and merceneries. While most who come are sent to train in units some (OOC: 4 characters max!) Have been sommuned to the Marshals chamberlain. - A week ago the monastery of Gherund had been destroyed. Some of the monasteries members survived and attempted to bring the mortal remains of Saint Grogrius to this castle. They have not yet arrived. You are to find the caravan and ensure that the casket with the bones of the saint reach this castle. The reward is 100 per man. Come back without the bones and you wont recieve anything. The caravan was to travel along the forests main road. Do you accept?

Aten greeted Luther Hoss warmly.
"Been a long time eh? Aten." He said.
"True.. I have learnt a great deal since we last met."
"Im sure you have." said Luther, smiling.
"I got the letter. How many days have the priests been travelling?" asked Aten.
"About a day."
Aten sighed. He knew that the chances of them still being alive were slim.

Ishtar had barely noticed the shady figure in the corner of the chamber. Aten soon catches up with Ishtar.
"Looks like fate threw us into yet another battle! I wonder if Alsdair will be coming to aid us. He is a good friend of Luther's."

The road is surprisingly calm concerning the forests reputation. The only thing betraying that it is not a normal wood is the constant thudding of a kettle drum. It takes slightly more than a day to find the caravan, or it's remains. Strewn across the road are the remains of the wagons, men and horses that had made it. A search of the remains leads to the conclusion that the reliquary is not present, and there are no tracks apart from the small signs of the carrion eaters. Suddenly from the wood comes a cry, - Who goes there!? Followed by snapping twigs and soon a man is standing on the road. His robes are stained with blood and mud, what little of his head isn't covered by mail is in need of a shave and a mace in his hand. Despite his state it is easy to see that he his a member of the church, and the fact that he is armed indicates him as a high ranking official.

"This is Ishtar, and I am Aten!" Aten pauses, thinking of what else to say.
"We have come here to in search of the mortal remains of Saint gregorius. We wish to bring them back safely to the castle." Aten looks at the dead bodies on the pathway. "What exactly happened here?"

- Oh, thank god. the man says. - I am Arthur Vendrod of the house of Carn. I am..., was the bishop of Gherund untill the wood hoards attacked. These men, may the lord accept their souls and grant them everlasting rest, were the remains of the city guard. Arhtur slowed down, took in a breath and contineud. - 'We were attacked, a strange creature, it looked like a wyvern and yet not as one if you understand me. - The bishops face hardens, - Riding it was a mutant, an insult to good, honest biengs! It wielded some sort of magic and they proved to much for us. - He pauses and seems to pray before continueing, - The thing took the reliquary of the saint and flew off denying me death. I wished to reach the Grand Marshal but, afraid of bieng attacked while alone, I kept off the road only... I'm not a woodsmen and, well, ... I got lost. The man finished looking extremely ashamed.

"In which direction did the flying heathen go?" Aten asks.
"I will give up my life to keep my word."

- That is encouraging to hear. - The bishop smilled at the devotion presented, - The pagan flew in that direction, - the man pointed east, - I will accompany you as the relic was put in my trust.

ishtar frowned,"bishop, don't you think you should head towards the marshal, i, we would not want to put you life in danger, or it would be on my conscience.", ishtar looks at the bishop expectantly.

Back at Luthers place
Revendorus says-
"Luther,I apologise for my delay,Is it true,was he slain?"
Luther just nods his head
Revendorus goes silent closes his eyes and says - "He was the one want he?Didn't he and you revive me ?"
Revendorus looks around gets up and says - "Anybody else on this mission?"
Luther says- "Yes, Lord Aten,Strong, friendly to the beasts of the lord Ishtar,Fast,Beilever of the speed of God I Include u Revendorus,A toy of Lucifer,Beloved to God Remember Revendorus don't at any cost let him lose,if his wrath is unleashed again we will be in a much more worse position than we were in the dark ages Fly Revendorus catch up with your allies as your friends are the pathway to Heaven Now Go..."

- A man of god alone in the Ras Kar forest even at the best of times is a death wish. I will accompany you, and die if that is the lords will. But we should hurry, who knows what vile craft the pagan is doing now.

ishtar, says,,"the bishop here, is returning to the village, now, we would not want to put his life in danger, he has already told us where to go, i think we can go on our own from here." the bishop slowly limps towards the marshal's quaters.

OOC: Any objections, or does somebody want to keep the cleric?
