Thromkor dismounts rather awkwardly from his hippogriff due to his leg, but straightens quickly and glances around, attempting to save as much of his dignity as possible. He adjusts his robes, which are disheveled after the flight, and his hand brushes something unfamiliar hanging over his belt. He pulls it out and is reminded that he had picked up the gray cloak near the cairns. Then, in a flash, he remembers seeing Lady Savra wearing a very similar cloak. He limps over to Tibold who is watching the small ceremony to honor Donnall.
"Well that was fun!" Gotrek says as he jumps off the mount after Thromkor before heading inside and back to the dining hall whilst muttering something in dwarvish, an observer doesn't need to understand dwarvish to know he is saying something unpleasant due to his repeated glances at Sir Donnal, the ring and the manticore head.
The Lord Commander says “come let us go back to the Great Hall and celebrate the bravery of my knights, oh and their colleagues, for tomorrow Madam Redleaf and her friends start their hunt for our foes – the Black Earthers”. He turns and heads back down to the Great Hall.
I'll put up a longer post tomorrow morning my time moving the Campaign on so pls ask any questions of the Lord Commander and his knights (including Lady Savra) before then.
Upon entering the great hall, Gotrek walks up to Redleaf and saying quietly, "So did you learn anything useful, whilst we had a crash course in aerial combat?"
OOC: Edited my post above to keep Thromkor with the group.
Entering the great hall, Thromkor approaches Lady Savra before she could take her seat. "My Lady," the dragonborn says, bowing his head slightly. "I should have asked you about this before. Early today, when we were investigating the four new cairns south of here, I picked up this cloak. I believe it might be a match for your own." Thromkor holds out the bundle of fabric for Savra to examine.
Lady Savra examines the cloak and says "Yes that is the type of cloaks that squires such as myself wear. Once we are elevated to the knighthood we get the feathered cloak such as you have seen others wear."
Upon entering the great hall, Gotrek walks up to Redleaf and saying quietly, "So did you learn anything useful, whilst we had a crash course in aerial combat?"
"Nope, The Commander said he would tell me what he knows when you got back because he promised you the information as well," Redleaf says with a frown.
Lady Savra says "The Lord Commander told Redleaf and Lanoros when you were out hunting that a patrol he had led attacked a group of bugbears and humans - Black Earthers - but they were driven off after losing one of our own and that he though that this might account for the cairns. Perhaps one of squires lost it whilst on this patrol?”
"Perhaps so," Thromkor says politely. "I'm sorry. I've kept you from your supper. Please," he says, gesturing for her to continue to her seat while bowing slightly. After she has moved on, Thromkor tucks the cloak away in his belt again and takes his seat.
Polly, having been sober for a day to long does not hesitate to start chugging down glass after glass of wine at the supper table. This being the only explanation for why his mouth has been shut for an extended period of time
"I'm curious how one of these ended up near the cairns." He smiles. "Did the Feathergale Society have something to do with those fresh cairns?"
"Yes, they did. It was one of theirs that was buried there. But they didn't do the burying. A patrol, led by our gracious host the Lord Commander had spotted bugbears and the Black Earthers marching prisoners of our delegation south, they swooped in to attack and left after one of their own was killed."
Redleaf says to Thromkor before turning towards the Lord Commander, "Now that Gotrek is back Lord Commander, could you tell us the location of the Black Earthers so we may take care of this evil menace once and for all."
The Lord Commander calls Gotrek over and says to him and Redleaf, “the Black Earthers have a redoubt on the southern slopes of the Sumber Hills.” He continues“it is somewhere between where the river in the canyon, known as the Lost River, exits the canyon and joins with the Dessarin River.” He goes on to say “at first light tomorrow my knights will take the party down to the valley floor and you can’t start your journey.” He looks across at Phantom asleep under the table and says with a smirk “I don’t think the cat will like the trip though”.He finishes with “now the night is young - so drink and eat!”
"Thank you, your Grace," Redleaf says with a slight bow. "I will do what I can to help you in this. Now if you will excuse me. I need to talk to our Dragonborn friend over there. Your hospitality has been most generous and if I can ever repay you somehow just say the word."
Redleaf walks over to Thromkor and Lady Sarva and gives the slightest of head nods to the lady. "I'm sorry for the interruption but Thromkor is needed for a moment. I think your friend Lady Sirahane was looking for you Sarva."
Lanoros, overhearing Thromkor's question and Lady Savra's answer, approaches Savra and walks with her back to the table, "So Savra, remind me, how long have you been with the Feathergale Society?"

Tibold nods, watching the ceremony respectfully. When it ends he makes his way down to the great hall.
And that's all I have to say about that.
