Eyris glares at the camp warily with squinted eyes. She has never been in a camp like this, strange tents, strange people. Her hand holds her spear and that comforts her for now. But she never lets her guard down.

The big barbarian gives a large if doubtful wave directed at the man. He assumes the executioner leader is too busy to notice, but he really isn't sure what to do in this situation, besides follow along.

Order of Lietbur Encampment
Lord Commander Fellsan Blademore wipes his blade with a red and black rag and sheaths the blade in a scabbard before setting it leaning against a broken fence. His attention is drawn by the wave of Mongo and he comments to a squire nearby who runs off as the Lord turns your way. "Lady Awredane, greeting. Now, who is this that you have brought to the camp?" He strides a few steps to meet you as you close the gap to stand about 8 feet from him. He's an impressive physical specimen, tall, well muscled, clearly capable in a fight. His face has a noble bearing, and is handsome, if not for the blood splatter and smoke and ash soot on him you might be comforted by his appearance. "I am Lord Commander Fallsan Blademore of Icatia, and who are you?"

"Morwen-Altorniel, Arrasul Maltathantara." Morwen answered simply, though one could argue that her full name was anything but simple. "What news is there?"

"I'm Eyris Fire-Heart." Eyris just says, squinting her eyes warily.

The big barbarian is mainly trying to figure it if he or the Lord Commander is taller and stronger. "Mongo. Escaped slave." He gestures back to where they came from. "Killed ... re-killed? Re-killed skeletons in town."

Mongo can't tell, he might be taller then the Lord Command, but maybe not, its darn close either way.
"Morwen, of the Elohim as I understand your name. Good to meet you, but I wonder what one of your kind is doing in this place." Then Eyris and Mongo are introduced and he nods, "Captured by slavers then and freed by your own will? Yes, I can read it on your faces. Good, it is good to know there are still people who are not helpless in this realm of shadow and blood." He motions, "Come, you will be my guests tonight for dinner. If you are not followers of the Ebon Hand, and are reverent to the Hand of Justice of Lugus, you are both friend and allies."
He looks at Lady Awredane, "You are dismissed, return to your duties in the burn zone, bring me any other survivors."
She bows to him, nods to you and turns around to go back into the burning village to look for more trouble or people.

Eyris nods, still wary and shy.

Mongo brightens up at the promise of a meal. "Dinner is great, better than traveling food." He still doesn't really know who the Ebon Hand is, but he is familiar enough with the god of justice. "Myself don't care much for gods, but Lugus people nice. Can trust them. If they are like their god, then Lugus a good god too."

"Perhaps." Morwen isn't so sure, but her relationship with the divine can best be described as 'confused.' "I certainly shan't turn down a good meal. I would like to know for myself if there are some clean clothes I can purchase? What I wear I took off a slaver, and I would rid myself of their stink."
