"The party was moving towards the estate of Lord Vauquelin. His daughter, the Lady Vauquelin, is a member of the Inquisition. Our party was comprised of Lord Luthor, the Grey Warden Alistair and Ser Bellamy of the Templars, Thranduil of realms beyond our own, the Lady Vauquelin herself and her maid, Guenievre."
Her mother, she wants to say. Her mother, a woman she was forced to deny in her life and now had to deny in death, as well. Herian has no desire to break her promise, nor endanger the Lady Vauquelin by exposing her secrets. Half breeds such as they found little kinship with either kind that had gone into the moulding of them, and for all that Herian was outspoken as to what she was, she would not force that life upon another.
"A mage attended with them, and appeared to lead the party, largely made up of rogues. When the party attacked us, I declared ourselves of the Inquisition, that we held no malicious intent in crossing these lands, and that we would not attack if they withdrew. When they continued to press the attack, we engaged them." So calm and so even, trying to present the facts as clearly as she might. There is no visible emotion as she continues, save for the tension between her shoulderblades. "It was Guinevere that was felled, an elven woman fleeing battle with the Lady that she served. Not a warrior on the field, but an unarmed woman, seeking safety. I have engaged with this Clan in the past, and this is not the first time they have attacked people who were unarmed."
