Act 7 - No Shortage of Peril

The Age of Magic is ended, Bhall, the Goddess of Fire, has succumbed to the whispers of Agares and fallen into Hell. Her worshipers and creations driven mad, and fire, which has been a powerful ally to man, has turned against him. Each good god was charged with the opposition of an evil god. Bhall was responsible for balancing Mulcarn, the God of Winter. Finding himself unopposed Mulcarn has broken The Compact and moved into Creation.

Creation was on the verge of another open war between the gods, that which they had outlawed with The Compact. To keep that from happening a deal was struck and the gods agreed that one god would enter Creation to challenge Mulcarn. That was Sucellus, the God of Nature. The two gods battled across the face of Creation, entire civilizations still recovering from the Burning Skies that marked the fall of Bhall were destroyed by their power. In the end Sucellus was killed and Mulcarn remained.

The Eternal Winter has begun...

"If you need these things. We will do what we can to obtain them." Drak says, not really having a reason to turn down his request.

Torias has been silent during the preperations. Now he speaks up, saying his farewell to the town. "May the blessing of Kilmorph and all the good gods lie on this town, may everyone be safe from hurt and temptation."
Touch one or two of the citizens and cast "guidance" on them.
Then he turns to the caravan. "And may Kilmorph and all the good gods guide us on our way and provide us a quick return with all the goods we need."

Then he settles on the sled, ready to depart.

Fannar smiles, and shakes Braedon's hand. "I think you all very much. I look forward to your speedy return."

Kreed strides over to your sled, and gives Fannar a side long look. Then he shouts at your small company, "Well well well, its about time you went and did something helpful for this town." He must be joking! "Don't get in the way of my men's mission, you understand." He then pauses in his rant and lowers his voice, "In all seriousness, we need this. Don't screw it up you understand? You have some people here counting on this run." He glances at his sled then back to you. "Daylight is burning, get going."

Dreams smiles and nods at Torias, "A good idea."

She says nothing to Kreed, just nodding slightly with a neutral look on her face. She'll let those who are on better terms with him--which is pretty much anyone--speak with him.

"Don't worry. If something wants to interfere with this trip, they will have to endure the wrath of the brass dragon to do so." Drak says as a few sparks pop around him in mid air to further drive his point. With the Cleric of Mulcarn now in town, Drak sees Kreed's comment as no more than a few jests as the group for fun. Kreed could be a jerk, but he did have the well being of the town in mind. Something that is still unsure about the Cleric.
Cast a few spark spells around him in the air.

"Don't worry, Mr. Kreed," Celevan replies. "We won't let the town down. Just keep things safe here while we're gone."

"Don't tell me what to do with me town." Kreed's moment of brotherhood is gone, "Things will be just fine in my hands here without you around, trust me. Everything will be fine. Now..." he sticks two fingers in his mouth and whistles loudly, "...load up! Its time to get moving! Falcon's Hollow isn't going to wait for you folks forever!"

With that the other sleds load up, and you can see who's who on which sled now. The whole group is ready, and Milon and Pearl push their sled out into the lead and start off heading for the gate, the other sleds large and small follow.

Torias smiles as the sleds begin to move. "Falcon's Hollow isn't going to wait for you folks forever!" he repeats Kreed's words, whispering to those on the sled. "As if the town is going someplace while we are away."

Celevan shrugs and gets onto his sled with Suli. Kreed was going to be Kreed no matter what.

Once on, he turns back to face those remaining in town and gives a wave. Then he's ready to go and focuses ahead and not behind.

Dreams holds her peace as Kreed talks. Once he's off, she waves farewell to anyone she knows, then prepares to leave. Unlike Celevan, she can't help give a backward glance as they depart. She is still nervous about leaving the town while Winterson, still very much an unknown quantity, has time to settle in. She just hopes Kreed's pride and territoriality will keep the cleric of Mulcarn from accomplishing anything significant while they are away.
