The Big Reunion
Subject: Re: Knock, knock...
Garyth hears the door latch open and immediately feels himself tense up, ready to draw his sword should an enemy be on the other side. The door swings open and his eyes immediately come to rest on the burly man that Pensive mentioned, who already has his sword unsheathed.
"Garyth? Is that you?"
Garyth's eyes flick over to the speaker. It's Sa'id. The big man is obviously protecting him. Garyth feels himself relax, the tension flowing out of him. A smile slowly spreads across his face and he turns and waves to the others waiting behind. "Come ahead, boys!" he shouts. "Our friends are here!"
He turns back to the people inside and takes a step through the door. "I got your message, Sa'id," he says. "We got here as quickly as we could."

Closing the ground between himself and Garyth in three swift strides, Sa'id takes the other man's head in his hands and kisses him firmly on both cheeks. "In my country," he says, "this is how we greet a friend."
Then he grins. "You look terrible, but it's good to see your face. Who else is with you?" Sa'id turns, gesturing about the room. "Gully you know, but this is Kasen -- the squire of Sir Conal, who Elise murdered. He saved my life, and Farron's, in a battle with wraiths that Elise sent after us."
He pauses. "Sunmaster Fellus should be joining us here as well. I don't suppose you've seen him?"
OOC: I'm explicitly copying Ty on this message. Ty, let me know how many copies of it you get. I'm also assuming that Garyth doesn't get blocked by my Magic Circle against Evil. ;)

Garyth bumps into the circle and his deep dark secret is revealed.

So it seems like you get messages that come from me directly, but not messages that come from the list. I'm trying an experiment: I set up a non-list address, [address removed by editor], that does nothing but forward the messages it gets to [address removed by editor]. I'm also copying you explicitly. You should get between one and three copies of this message -- let me know how many it is.

OOC: Rennik holds up a lead sheet and walks unharmed through the Magic Circle.
IC: Seeing that Garyth entered freely and without attack, Rennik approaches the door to see Sa'id and the others. He strides into the room and grips Sa'id's forearm in his own, giving him a strong handshake and speaking to him in the halfling tongue.
"Friend Sa'id, it is good to see you alive. These are dark times." Looking at his company. "It seems you bring another strong arm to the fight."
