Considering my options, but still not really liking the idea of having a preserved body part hanging around my neck, I respond "Thank you for the information. Is there anything I can do to help you or your staff in their work? I'm somewhat able in many fields, so perhaps I could assist in some small fashion?"
Wanting to spend more time engrossed with the workings of magic in this universe, I plan to observe the high-level magery they do, when I can.
On arriving back at the castle, which Travis now calls home, he has a wash, and freshens up.

I breathe a sigh of relief as we reach safety again. I will enjoy the baths and freshen up, sleeping in my room that night. The next day I will set out with Ghost. A sense of unease will not leave after the horrors we saw at the elven village. We patrol out a fair distance beyond the safety of the stronghold. I will do this daily and return to the stronghold to eat and sleep nightly.

Travis the herb that was pointed out as the healing herb will heal wounds but not poison. Just letting you know a cure poison potion would cure poison not a healing potion. The first herb you try turns out to be non poisonous but you are not sure what it does as you would have to ingest more of it to get the full effects. The second one you try is very bitter and hard to even sip. You feel that this herb would not be a usable potion.
Rachel you are patrolling out by yourself with only Ghost?
The Lord when approached about Thomas wanting to talk to him will set up a time for him to come talk to him. Once Thomas enters the audience chamber he will see the Lord seated in his chair with his ever present big guard behind him to the right and Lywenta behind him to his left. There are four guards just inside the door who will make sure Thomas has no weapons with two of them standing right behind him as he approaches the lord.

The letter had been a good idea, especially since I found it easier to express myself through written or typed word, yet knew that speaking with Lord Douglas would be important. That, and I considered it being more to apologize face to fave then simply in writing.
Of course I didn't come with any weapons, or anything that could be perceived as a weapon. This, not only because it was unnecessary, but I knew it might likely just make things more difficult for me if I tried. Still, I could understand why the guards would check and they would find that I had only the clothes on my back.
Once this has been completed I'd give a respectful bow, waiting for a gesture or word indicating that I could speak apart from a brief and formal greeting. I was nervous, yet knew this would have to be done at some point. That, and I needed the advice of the one who had been away from home the longest.
Out of Character: Seems the Dungeon Master made the decision for us, in either meeting directly first or writing a letter. I decided to roll with this decision, and proceed forward with my original plan.

The Lord will indicate for Thomas to begin speaking. He leans back in his chair and waits for you.
Out of Character: Grant is able to watch and observe as the mages do some mundane things like research. They are not doing any magical things right now but seem to be researching scrying and other distance related spells. They are also preparing for the possibility of casting some spells.
"I shouldn't have spoken out of turn as I did before, I know that. I allowed my emotions of the situation to override common sense," I knew it might possibly come of as making excuse for my behavior, yet it truth it was simply acknowledgement of the situation and what had happened, before continuing, "This is a different place, a culture very different from where we come from. If I had disagreement, I should have spoken to you in private and not in front of so many. My words and tone were disrespectful, and benefited no one at that time nor now."
Again, offering a deeper bow then before, I ask, "Please, accept my apologizes for my words and behavior, as I would rather regain your trust and the assurance that I am here to be of help then keep my distance. That I wish to be of service and find how best I can find my place while here." I hoped that would be enough, or at least a start. With over two weeks since what happened, and I wished to put the matter behind us. I could be stubborn, even sent in what I felt was right and wrong, yet I was willing to admit when I messed up even if it took a little while.
