Shake the dust off your feet

"Dweomerheart, they're going to swing down here while they're the area." Syala comes over, "Miranda's a valkyrie archer, I'll give her some tests to see how good she is, but I've never seen a bad valkyrie archer. Jayne's a paladin of Sulia who is..." Syala scratches the side of her head, "Not sure how she's a phoenix in human form, but the energy's right. They're looking to train and improve while Tryll's busy with that so they'd be a good fit for anything we or even Mystra could use capable mortal agents for."

[Ebiris]

"Oh. Sulia's mentioned a phoenix before," Alicia says, memory jogged. "She sounded embarrassed."

[Anastasia]

"She, ah, believes she's a bird." Syala coughs into her hand. "And acts like it."

Antenora's silent until then, at which point she says, "Oh. That does sound familiar. Is she capable?"

"I have no doubt. She has the powers of a phoenix and is a master paladin," Syala answers, "She may not be a match for you, but she'd be damn near impossible to kill."

[Ebiris]

"I wish I could be so embarrassed to have such powerful followers, even with a few odd quirks," Alicia says wryly. "If they're looking for work though. Hmm... anything needing someone that strong I'd usually handle myself or with an avatar."

[Anastasia]

"I have a few things," Antenora says, while Syala shakes her head.

"If you're interested I'll have my avatar bring them around. We should meet them considering they're in this with us." Syala points out, "And see if they need aid or guidance."

[Ebiris]

"Yes, it'll be nice to see Hell Striker again," Alicia agrees.

[Anastasia]

"It has been some time," Antenora's expression brightens. "Strange how that sword seems so tangled in the wave of fate now."

[Ebiris]

"Benyen's been good to it," Alicia says as they all go prepare to see Syala's new friends, meeting them in a gazebo in one of Liberton's gardens, drinks and snacks provided for an informal setting.

[Anastasia]

This is all nicely set up. Antenora joins you while Syala's avatar brings them over.

Dana you know. She walks with a strut, coming right on over. She looks as she did in Aurora as she calls, "Shit, you really have gotten too big for your skirt," Dana says to Antenora.

"And yet your cocky confidence remains," Antenora responds to her, "It's good to see you well."

Miranda is next, a bow and arrow slung over her back. Her icy armor softly emits cool mist as she sits and takes a drink, "Thank you," she greets.

Benyen is third, Hell Strike with him. He sits next to Dana and goes on, "Goddess," he bows his head deeply to you, "Hell Striker's doing better than ever!"

Fourth is Jayne. She walks along, dressed in a simple pair of torn off pants that reach half way to her knees and a tunic that likewise shows her stomach. She glances about, her gaze lingering on Alicia's fore head a few moments.

[Ebiris]

"Welcome, all of you," Alicia says in greeting to them and smiling at Benyen in particular. "I'm glad it's still giving the good fight. May I?" she holds her hand out towards him.

[Anastasia]

Benyen draws Hell Striker and presents it to you. "It probably misses you, though it would never say it. It's not very talkative."

[Ebiris]

"No, never was with me either. Just quiet satisfaction at fighting evil," she agrees, taking the sword from Benyen and lifting it over the table to hold at her side just to share in each other's nostalgic presence for a moment.

"So what have the four of you been doing? Syala said you were here for training or seeking out new challenges?"

[Anastasia]

You feel a presence, a simple shared togetherness with a fond part of your past.

"That's exactly what we're doing," Miranda says, "Tryll prepares to become One, but it is not an easy process."

"Also getting used to each other some more," Dana jerks a thumb at Jayne, "Including birdbrain over there."

Jayne bows her head, "Friends of Empress Sulia," she greets you warmly, "Including you with such a lovely head."

[Ebiris]

"I'm often told it's one of my better features. Well met Jayne. And Miranda," she properly greets the ones she hasn't seen before.

[Anastasia]

"But that's basically fucking it," Dana goes right on, "We're seeking challenges to get our shit together. Got any?"
