A New Year at the Pea Pod

[Ararg]

"Then I couldn't be in finer company!" Ararg says as he takes the hand of each man in turn. "It is an honour to meet you all."

He turns to Fionn. "And yes, Svenstown still perches happily atop its cliffs."

Finally, he turns back to Quatlu. "Did I hear aright, that you've been hero-questing? I am doubly impressed!"

[Quatlu]

Quatlu nods and smiles at Ararg's enthusiasm and replies, "Yes indeed, you are in the company of adventurers from the Great Temple of Orlanth, part of a group of brave souls who banded together to take on the Hero Plane. We gather together here at the Pea Pod each season to reflect and enjoy each other's company, as well as talk about what's going on."

[Ararg]

"I hope to be a worthy addition to the company," Ararg says. "There is so much to do, arriving here in Boldhome. I also fully intend to join the temple of Orlanth temple here, as I did at home. As a laymember to begin, until I have settled into a regiment, then I hope to become an initiate."

He turns to Rufus and makes a halfway decent attempts at a proper salute. "And sir, thank you so much for your message. I intend to purchase the rank of Thane and will work dilligently towards earning a promotion and making you proud, sir!"
