Helping the Lost

**NOT WINKS**

Several moons ago a terrible thing happened, and several of you have been doing what you can. Your efforts are to be admired, but in order to succeed there is more that you must know, and you cannot do it alone. If you care about any of those who have been taken by the skin-changers, then find me the morning after your upcoming feast.

It is time for another lesson.

I won't be in the Proper this feast, but I look forward to eventually hearing more from you, Trickster.

Now more than ever, you have my blades.

I await your teaching...I learned a few new tricks myself.

Is this a private venture for those specifically of a druidic talent, or may others come and assist as well? This would not be the first time we have fought side by side, however at the time I did not know you're name Trickster.

There is nothing that would stop me from finding you, I await what you have to teach

Any who want to help protect Arawyn are welcome to assist.

You have my emerald might and mind. Let us deal with this post haste ...

I helped incidentally the last time. Maybe this time I'll do it on purpose.

They have one of mine and as I have done, I will not sit idly by. I guess it's time we will finally meet face to face, Trickster. I will make sure they understand the severity of their actions.

You see, we could generally care less,
But you seem jolly,
And despite this folly,
The Skin Changers do seem intriguing.

If we have the time to care, we will happily join you.

My sole duty is to protect and serve. If ours have been taken, I find it necessary that I do everything I can to help get them back.

I am in service to Travance. Tell me what you require and it shall be done.

In Honor,
Ravyn

I will be there

I’ll be there

If anyone missed this that wanted to be there, please send me a missive and I will send you my notes on the lesson.

Selby, Thank you.

I needed to speak to them desperately regarding this but was kept out of the proper due to matters beyond my control. I still need to meet with them and hope that I can very soon regarding this. I am horribly concerned.

The lesson was simple, and it goes along the lines of posting it publicly for all to see.

For those who don't know, there is a Blight Grove of Skin Walkers in the Barony of Travance. Gabe and Rudy Stonebar have been taken by these Skin Walkers and are being held and tortured there. Keavy went after them to rescue them by herself and also got captured and is currently suffering the same fate. These Skin Walkers will be familiar to some of you. One has come many times to the Proper and while I haven't seen the others in his group as often, they have been here before. There are at least 4, 3 of which I believe I remember the animals they take the shape of. There is The Crow, The Bear, and the Coyote. There is at least one other one that I am forgetting, possibly more.

The Trickster showed us, through a harsh lesson, that we can not defeat them individually. That we need help in order to even come close to fighting them. That we need to be patient and not rush into things thinking that we can handle this problem by ourselves.

I will compile my notes on Skin Walkers when I find them and post them here. This will include their strengths, weaknesses and fighting strategies.

I ask any who wish to help with this endeavor please keep notice to these boards for further postings by, or about any of the aspects of Arawyn.

March Warden,

I would like to ask a question on what you mean by "that we can not defeat them individually. That we need help in order to even come close to fighting them. That we need to be patient and not rush into things thinking that we can handle this problem by ourselves."

Are we talking that we need to formulate strategies, or are we going to need outside help, for example, some Elder Druids from Selendrias?

Donald,
The problem in the past was when it came to Blight, Druids and Rangers tended to not seek outside help and work only within their own ranks.
When the Trickster gave us this lesson it was as an example to not follow Keavy’s actions and go after it without a plan or back up.

The short answer is that we need to prepare and plan. If all of us work together we should prevail. But if part of that planning is seeking out help from outside of Travance, then so be it.

In service to Arawyn,
March Warden Caelvan Renaith McKraegar

I stand ready to help.

It goes without saying, but I'm helping.

We need to get my brothers and Keavy back.

Caelvan,

From what others told me, the third is a wolf, not a coyote. I was told that a coyote is generally how Trickster shows himself in animal form and to make sure to make a distinction between the two.
