Eidolon: Conspiracy Theory

"Oh you were barely an inconvenience, Mr. Leeds." Luka reassured Jehoshaphat. "The man chasing you was a lot more troublesome. Very nearly blew the diner up if you can believe it... Speaking of, if him and his are harder to lose than the usual riff raff, then perhaps you should lay low for a while before heading back to the Pines. If they can't find you in your forest for long enough, they might start thinking you moved somewhere else after your run in with them. And then once they've started snooping around other forests instead, you can head home and not have to worry about them disturbing you again."

Sir Shane's Story (Legend in the Mist)

"I shall take care of his remains, thank you. I am Kyle, minister of The One, serving the community here. People come to this house of God from all over. The outlying hamlets only, of course, as Barleytown has its own place of the Holy."

"Despite the uh... circumstances... it is nice to meet you, Minister Kyle." Sir Shane said as he led the way into the church at the priest's prompting. "I am Sir Shane the Shy, Knight of Stormhelm."

"What brings you to these parts of the Dales, all the way from Stormhelm, good knight?"

"I am... here on a quest." Sir Shane explained, choosing his words much more carefully than he did the last time. "I... have come to uh... investigate the rumors of... strange things awakening in the Dales, assuage the uh... the fears of the rivermen, and assist the people however else I can along the way." Sir Shane tensed up once he had finished speaking then. He hoped for the best, yet prepared for the worst.

Sir Shane's Story (Legend in the Mist)

"I'm... not entirely sure. I wasn't there to witness his final moments." Sir Shane explained. "I can tell that he fell in battle, but what foe he fell to I am not so sure of. His death wounds are hundreds of small cuts and patches of missing flesh. I've never seen it's like before."

Sir Shane's Story (Legend in the Mist)

"And to you, good man." Sir Shane greeted back with a bow of his head as he rode by. Sir Shane continued onwards to the church, stopping to dismount near the entrance. After giving Flutter a few more pats, Sir Shane took the shrouded Red Marshal down from the horse and carried him into the church in search of the priest who presided over this holy place.

Sir Shane's Story (Legend in the Mist)

Upon realizing that he was standing over the corpse of a Red Marshal, Sir Shane dropped respectfully to one knee, crossed himself, and bowed his head to the dead man. "God rest your soul, Marshal." Sir Shane said softly. "I will see to it that your body receives the proper rites."

With that said, he took the proferred medallion and stowed it in his backpack to return to the Red Marshal barracks at Barleytown once his investigation of the western barley fields was complete. Sir Shane then took the Red Marshal's sword and sheathed it in the empty scabbard on the dead man's hip. Having done that, Sir Shane wrapped the Red Marshal's cloak around the corpse as a makeshift shroud and picked the body up.

Flutter whinnied in protest as she saw her rider approach with a corpse in his arms.

"I know I know." Sir Shane said understandingly. "But we can't just leave him here... You won't have to endure him long. With any luck, there'll be a church we can leave him at near the fields. If not, Barleytown will definitely have one."

After taking a moment to express that that didn't mean she had to like it, Flutter eventually relented and allowed Sir to put the Red Marshal on her back.

"I'll be sure to get you two bushels of apples for this." Sir Shane promised his horse while giving her a few comforting pats, before mounting himself and continuing the journey.

"If - as your titles imply - you make your home in the New Jersey Pine Barrens, then I'd say you are a few steps off the beaten path." Luka said with a nod of confirmation. "Right now, we're in the middle of New York City. As for how you got here, I only know the last few steps you took. At some point, someone who doesn't like you decided to try and make you explode. He chased you into a diner where my friends and I frightened him away. After that, I calmed you down with some music and brought you into my limo. Which brings us to now..."
