-----Raven then looks over at Lovan, "Could you tell us ALL about this cult and how we're going to crush them?"
-----Raven leans over and talks with Rinda.
-----Sol's frown matches Raven's as the offended Gorian replies, "What on earth are ye talking about Raven? I bloody well have included ye on th' decision. That's why I'm here talking t'ye now. An' I'm telling ye I must do this. If ye don't understand why, then it's certainly not worth explaining it."
-----Sol stops briefly as he tries to get himself under control. The best he manages is an apologetic glance at the others before he fails dismally and continues in an angry tone, "Bore o' th' hunt? Ye say that after all we've been through! Throw ye aside? Bloody hell, come on Raven. Ye should know me better than that. I have no intention o' giving up on Krondor. This will not take long."
-----"I wanted ye all along because yer my friends, an' yes, we're part o' a team. On th' other hand, I mention catching up t'ye in case ye did not want t'do this. But understand this, I must do this." By now, Sol has calmed himself somewhat and looks back at the hunter, face screwed up in mixture of expressions.
-----Raven looks skyward as if looking for the clouds to have the right words. Raven looks back at Sol and then says, "You might have thought you were including us in the decision, but only if we would back you up or not. I hope you would know that I would help you with any cause you would take up and that I always backup my friends." Raven pauses for a moment and seems to trying to find the right words, "Okay...I know it's hard to believe, but I flew off the handle a bit. I shouldn't have questioned your desire to continue the hunt for Krondor. For that I say I'm truly sorry. But next time, talk with the group before taking on a quest when we're already pledged to another one? We'll most likely accept the quest, but give at least give the group the option. Okay?"
-----"Do you not see?" Lovan says raising his voice and looking toward Sol, "The storm builds here and must be set forth across the land! It is the way of the Rager!"
-----As Lovan begins to speak Rinda lays a hand on Raven's arm and whispers into his ear.
-----Lovan then turns and looks at Raven with an intense look on his face. Raising his fist for a dramatic effect, he continues, "The anger that builds here is like the approaching tempest upon the sea! It cannot be contained with idle talk and it shall not be held back! I have shown Sol Herron where those that seek to contain our ways hide and we must now strike with all the fury of the skies, lightning, thunder and the wind!"
-----Romney and Shema look at each other with a confused look. Romney then speaks up and says, "Sir, I would agree with you that if there be evil ones who dwell in the vicinity that they should be dealt with. What plan, as Noble Raven asks, do you propose?"
-----"Do the clouds speak of when they shall erupt, sending their bolts of fury down upon whatever is beneath?" Lovan growls, "The Way of the Rager shall not waste time with words but action!"
-----Shema's expression turns to a grim frown as Romney stands speechless and a bit taken aback.
-----"You are dressed as brilliantly as the thunderbolt against the darkest of clouds," Lovan suddenly says extending his hand toward Sarah. "Surely you can feel the rage that needs to be brought against those who would stop us!"
-----Garrison stares at the priest with a leery eye and crosses his arms.
-----Raven moves just his eyes when he looks at Lovan. Raven is silent for a moment and then turns to face Lovan. Raven says, "To hunt a prey you do not know is very dangerous and on top of it to hunt them in an area you do not know is..." Raven stops to find the right word, then just says, "suicidal."
-----Raven continues, "I would not call this idle talk, but getting a..." Raven gives Lovan a slight smile, "weather report." Raven wipes the smile off his face, "Sorry I couldn't resist."
-----Raven turns to Sol, "He's shown you the way to this cult then? Did he talk about the cult size or anything else of interest?"
-----Sol returns to look at Raven after an extended odd stare at Lovan, "There's a smaller ruined castle just beyond a wooded area just a short ride t'th' southeast. Lovan believes th' cult is housed there. Th' plan was fer me t'flush them out, whilst Lovan calls down th' Rager's lightning. Beyond that ye know as much as I do. But hey, we've gone in wi' less before." Sol smiles at this.
-----Sarah bows gracefully to Lovan and replies. "Yes I can, and do. My magic flows through me like lightning. None of this evil cult will survive its strike." She walks closer to Sol. "I understand why you're doing this, and I will help you." That seems to be all Sarah has to say on the subject.
-----"Thank you." Sol replies simply and after a slight hesitation, leans over and kisses Sarah's cheek. He then looks at the Rager's priest and says, "Lovan, unless ye have anything t'add, it's time this storm followed its course."
