Check in, Ally and the Lady
Subject: Maximus
The young guardsman jumps a bit when Surin speaks "Where did you come from? Oh it's you. Your one of the people we are taking with us to the Dwarf King, right? Surin was your name? My name is Titus Cordius." The young man gives Surin a formal bow.
"Ah the Lady De Blum. She is a mystery. As you can plainly see she is not a Byhonian by birth. She is from Mnhul, from a very important family. She married into a powerful family and they were able to manipulate the Ambassadorship for her. It is a great honor for her and her family. However, I don't think she is looking forward to spending two years underground."

Check. Salix has nothing to add, though he does give Halpin a dark glare at the mention of cutting trees from the GNW.

Check.
Is this a sit-down formal dinner, or more of a 'nibble on stuff while you wander around chatting with everyone' kind of setting?
From: Mark
Subject: Check in
It is more of a mess hall thing. People are sitting down, but there is not much formal about it. It is not a reception, if that is what you mean.
The party, and the Byho contingent, are at at boarder fort with the garrison of the fort.

Allistair pulls Ragnar aside for a moment. "How much of our mission do these Bhyoans know about? How much do you want them to know?"
From: Karl

"Boarder fort" Is that like a militarized frontier hotel?
From: Mark
Subject: Check in
No it is a spelling error. :)

No, nothing else - answered main question. Figured Surin'd be curious about why someone would deserve a lashing for being slow off the mark - little harsh.

Ok every one has checked in.
Jason, you might want to answer Ally's question about the party's mission.
I will try and write something up today. If not now then after 9PM.

I'm about to, just looking up some geography information to clarify in my head first.

Great. Let me know if you have any questions.

Mostly I was looking up where Angelwing's wife was from. It turns out she's also from Mnuhl, which was what I vaguely remembered. I also wanted to remember what Angelwing had mentioned about the countries she would be passing through, which I found in the archives.

If possible, Allistair will try and chat a bit with the Lady De Blum. "Good evening, my lady. I am Allistair, a wizard trained at the mage school in Gorn. I've been asked to accompany this diplomatic enjoy of The Order to the Dwarven kingom. I heard that you will be the ambassador of Byho to the Dwarven kingdom. Have you been there before?"
If she's non-conversational or rebuffs him, he will politely thank her for her time and move away. If she's amenable to conversation, he'll try and find out how she feels about going to the Dwarven kingdom.
"I myself lived for five years in the south continent to study at the Elven University in the great forest. It takes a while to adjust to living in a completely different culture, but I'm sure a lady with such education and bearing such as yourself will be able to do well there."
