Tal bobbed his head in respectful greeting to the Mer King with a quietly murmured: "Thanks, sir." He glanced curiously at the woman the King had brought with him, but before he could ask any questions of her a familiar dragoon came jogging up the hill, and the courier broke out into a lopsided grin. "Zavien! Y'made it!" The Breaker might have been a bit silly, but Tal's craggy face warmed at his presence on the hunt, and the pale dragon beside him bounded over to give the Accepted her own exuberant greeting (and pocket-snorfle).
His expression sobered quickly asAurelia made her greeting and he gave her a more cautious nod. "Well, thanks for comin', Aurelia" he offered awkwardly, shooting the King a questioning glance but then shrugging in acceptance. "I'm Tal." Her question was a good one and he nodded to buy himself a chance to organize his thoughts...
Not that it usually did much good.
"So we've been havin' problems around Mourn, mostly," he explained, then started checking off possible threads on his fingers. "Th'villi an' daemons have been movin' farther from their barrows an' attackin' folks comin' t'grieve, but I've even spotted an enenra there before." A shiver ran down his spine at the memory and he quickly tried to shake it off. "Some o' th'unicorns have gotten corrupted by th'Void, too, so don't hold back if we run across any." His brow furrowed as he tried to decide if he was missing anything. "Uh... so, unicorns an' daemons can be hit by pretty much anythin', but if we run across villi they're a lot more..." he wiggled his fingers, "like, ghosts? So you'll need magic weapons t'hit 'em an' magic armor t'block 'em."
He gave another, firmer nod, pretty sure that he'd hit the important notes. "Let's go around an' figure out who's got what, so if we run into somethin' someone isn't equipped t'handle they can duck behind someone who can. I've got magic armor an' a Dagger, an' I can use mastered Healin' if anyone gets hurt. Oh, an' I'm an Accepted, so I can try an' call down a god if things get real bad. Uh... any other questions before we get started?"
Any questions, concerns, or helpful info for the group before we get started? If not, just a list of assets you're willing to share with the group will be enough.
