The trip to Greenest had been uneventful, almost boring, but Ander was hoping for a game of cards, not this kind of slaughter.

He dashed to the fore, placing himself between the civilians and the maurading Kobolds just as two sling bullets wizzed past his head and ended the life of the caravan master.

"Lathander! Give me the strength to protect these people!"

While Hagar is doing a pretty good job distracting some of the Kobolds, there are still two hiding behind the bushes. Now that just wouldn't do.

"Hiding will do you no good before the Light of the Sun!"

With one swift blow Ander cuts both of the Kobolds, and their hiding place, down.

Ander watches with a mixture of morbid fascination and horror as Nel... performs...

"I know you are none to fond of the man but you didn't have to break open his skull. It is possible to get satisfaction and be helpful, observe."

A quiet moment of contemplation is all Ander needs to call the light of Lathander to his right hand, which is quickly and harshly brought across the cheek of the greedy Caravaner.

Ander shoves his finger roughly into Prester's chest.

"You will be demanding nothing of us today. Your wagons are ruined because you tried to run instead of help, the rest of your problems can find similar blame. If you want to salvage anything of this then you will need the help of the people in Greenest."

He points at the town with his Greatsword, which considering it is a heavy length of metal is somewhat impressive.

"Unfortunately it appears to be on fire. I would suggest you stay here and convalesce while the rest of us go and do what's right."

Ander shoulders his blade as he looks around at the gathered warriors.

"Any objections?"

Ander stops mid stride as the dragon roars overhead, the fact that his gauntleted hands are twitching would be imperceptible but for the slight clanking sound his right hand is making against his holy symbol as he quietly sings an off-key version of the Song of Morning.

He comes out of his fearful reverie to in time to hear most of Zedikah's 'rousing' speech.

"Zed is right, you'll be safest at the keep, it's more defensible than just standing out here so everyone gather your things and let's get going."

Ander stalks up towards the Kobolds, looking for all the world like a Wearer of the Purple should. Not revealing his true intention until he is right next to the remaining Kobold.

In one swift motion he draws his greatsword and brings the hilt down, caving in the Kobold's skull. Then he spins to the side, cleaving through another Kobold and gravely wounding one of the cultists.

"Welcome to Greenest, I hope you enjoy your very short stay."

Ander stays silent the entire walk back to the keep, deep in contemplation. He has failed. He did not destroy the evil that was in front of him, and he barely survived at that.

Upon returning to the keep he finds a quiet place to pray to Lathander, to pray for forgiveness. Perhaps more surprisingly he was answered, gaining insight into the divine connection to his god and the ability to bring it to bear, for weal and for woe.

When he finally returns he does so with a newfound purpose and a look of determination on his face.

Zed is suggesting replacing violence with violence, a prudent if bloody strategy, but Ander's feeling pretty good right now, perhaps a more spiritually inspired line of persuasion.

"I swear by the Morninglord that if he is somehow responsible for this then he will be held to it. But you lower yourself with your actions. Cutting his throat only means that yours will be next, and with murder on your conscience you will not see your wife again. Put away your blade, and give yourself time to mourn.
