Secret Game

[Ginrai]

"Either the Storm-riders are closer than expected or someone else is approaching.  I take it people will be waiting to greet whomever approaches the Keep?  Maybe we should also be there?"

[Brian]

Radagast looks at you strangely.  "Who else would be coming, and within such a short distance?  No, they should already be here.

"But with a whole army around us, how will we tell them apart?"

[Ginrai]

"Wouldn't you be able to notice a stronger presence from whomever it is the closer they are?"

[Brian]

"If I were to see them, yes," Radagast agrees.

[Ginrai]

"Ah, damn, that would make it rather difficult if it was one person hidden within the large army.  What do you plan to do when they arrive?"

[Brian]

"Hope they aren't trying to sabotage us," he says, sighing.  "I don't really know what else I can do."

[Ginrai]

"Hmm?  You're not going to greet them when they arrive and at least have a chance to check on Lord Markham?"

[Brian]

"Greet who?" he asks.  "I'd need to know who they were for that.  And as far as the Storm-riders reaching us, that's far more dependant on your friends than I.  If they reach the Keep, I intend to look them over certainly, but that's not today.  That's the day after tomorrow."

[Huitzil]

"A few miles at most? I would think that they couldn't be with the Dreadmarch -- they aren't due for at least a day, right? Maybe we should bring you out and try to triangulate where these guys are, while we have time. If that's okay by you, of course."

[Brian]

"I can tell that they arrived, not where they are," Radagast says.  "If I see them, I'll recognize them.  If we had more time, I might convince Lord Kevin to make a troop inspection, which would give me a good chance to spot them...."

[Huitzil]

"Well, even if we don't have time, why don't we take a walk around the courtyard and check out some of the guys training? Unless you have something pressing that requires you be here, of course."

[Brian]

Shrugging, Radagast acompanies you down to the courtyard, where a few guys in armor are still practicing.  Most of them ignore your group, and Radagast frowns.  "This doesn't give me a good chance to find them," he murmurs.

[Huitzil]

"A small chance is better than none at all. Besides, walking around and getting outside can help clear your head. Maybe you'll think of something out here."

[Brian]

Nodding in agreement, Radagast rises to his feet.  "I will go and keep an eye out, then," he says.  "Is there anything else you need, first?

[Huitzil]

"I have nothing to do. Why don't I take a walk with you?"
