Gorosk was altogether rather happy with this assignment.  Falsely imprisoned, declared innocent in the eyes of the Gods yet still beholden to whatever sins these men decided he had probably maybe committed, he had worried the task they were to be held to might be some unspeakable sin itself.  Some sort of political assassination, some manner of act no man or woman would do without the spectre of a return to those miserable prisons cells perhaps this time for life.  Instead, the charge proved rather reasonable at least at first glance.  To clear out the encroaching wilds here at the border.  It was downright fitting for a follower of Aeridun.

Though he didn't ascribe to the new teachings he had some respect for them and through their practice he might move closer to the perfection of the self as was the true purpose of the veneration of Aeridun.  The modern Aeridun worshiper sought to bond society, to form literal and figurative foundations for civilization.  These were not his concerns, yet they were legitimate concerns.  Whatever bit of civilization had been established here had been overrun by nature.  In returning it to the hands of man perhaps he might learn something.  As the Elf had suggested perhaps there was a solution to this problem that didn't involve simply running off or killing whatever animals had made their den in the stead.  It sounded like a more difficult approach to Gorosk, but sometimes one had to do difficult things to grow.

And they may end up beating some wild animals away despite their best efforts.  Gorosk looked about the party, now rested, armed, and it seemed to Gorosk more than ready to settle this "Debt" of theirs and regain their freedom.
