[IC] A Stolen Land

[DM Dougfan]

Valdi grunts a confirmation to Nexendia, and nods.

"You must understand our caution. Bandits have been preying on Oleg and other settlers of late. You may enter, your men-at-arms will wait outside until Oleg deems you safe."

In Skaldic he calls down to his brother:

In Skaldic: "Open the gate just enough for the one man, afoot, to slip in. Be ready."

Kesten nods in response, dismounting and handing the reins off to one of his comrades.  "'Tis not a problem, Cheiftain of the Linnorms of the North.  That is why we were sent here in the first place."  He walks through the gate and Nexendia and Andra get their best look at him.  He *looks* like a Garess.  He also produces a smallish scroll from his pack that looks nearly identical to the ones each of you were given in Restov, right down to the spidery script.  This he gives to Valdi to examine, waiting patiently.

Vidar opens the gate for the armored man, making sure no one else follows.  

Ooc- Where is Oleg and Svetlana?

((Oleg and Svetlana had been in their home, hiding as soon as they'd heard about another group of riders inbound.))

By this time, Oleg has emerged and has a good look at Kesten.  He seems to relax marginally, saying "No way this one is a brigand!  None of them wore plate mail."
