About 3 p.m. on the 6th of August, Sven is keeping watch from the roof when he calls out, "VISITOR COMING!" He relays that a lone man on a donkey has approached to some 600 yards and has stopped. While Sven watched, the stranger lifted his arm and made a slow waving gesture. He hasn't attempted to move any closer.
Lexent: I look at Sven and Pandred, "Do you think we should go out and see what he has to say?"
Sven: "We hold someone back here to protect Hamish. He's far from recovery. I suggest a parley, to find out what he wants. If he intends to threaten us, he must have an army waiting somewhere beyond our sight."
Lexent: "I'll go. Pandred, Be ready for trouble." I head outside.
Pandred: "Always am." I'll make sure to don my armor, etc. Arduin will assist if need be.
The DM: how close do you wish to get? Comfortable speaking distance is six combat hexes.
Lexent: I move up half the distance between us, so 300 yards and wave back.
Stranger: “Identify yourself!”
Lexent: "I am Lexent. Who are you? And what business brings you here?"
Stranger: “You may call me Tacitus.”
The DM: It’s plain that the stranger is Norwegian, and that the name is likely an alias.
Lexent: "And your business here?"
Tacitus: “You have removed Hamish Ross from Bergen, have you not? That is what brings me here.”
Lexent: "I have removed no one from anywhere. If you'd like though, you are welcome to come up and talk."
