[i]Noon. In the distance off the coast of the Dojo...[/i]
Several large ships each sporting black sails approach the coast.
They will land soon, within an hour most likely.
As they draw near large white Irish crosses can be made out on their sails, each with a Trinity Knot in the middle.
The ships appear to be galleases, armed with what look to be ancient blackpowder cannons.
The crews are made up of knights, all in full armor, their surcoats matching the sails.
As they land they appear to be weary, each leaping into the smaller boast carefully as they paddle towards the shore.
Once on the beach, they fan out. Several men armed with odd, glowing crossbows stand guard over the boats while the knights, armed with swords and axes, begin to explore the beach.
Several head for the hill on which you stood, watching.

[i]they both watched for a little bit longer before looking for something to do. Lola and Talath both wanted to remain helpful if they could be.[/i]
-
It did not appear help would be needed. The sailors were obviously very experienced as they quickly got them under way. The coast behind them gradually faded into the horizon.
-
[i]both Lola and Talath watch for a bit longer. They did their to stay out the way. They both watched the land become the sea. It was different than flying over it but still beautiful nonetheless.[/i]

After several hours of sailing, thet could just make out a heavy fog in the distance ahead.
-
[i]they see the bank of fog rolling in. Lola hopes that they don't get lost in it. Talath doesn't say anything but just keeps walking. [/i]
-
As they enter the fog, Lol is able to sense that something isn't natural about it. There's magic in the air.
-
"Something is off here i can sense it"says Lola "You sure ?" says Talath
-
"Aye, that is magical fog."

As they enter the fog, Lol is able to sense that something isn't natural about it. There's magic in the air.

"Tree" Would be more like it, as Oracle had been near perfectly blended in with the leaves of an oak tree She dropped to the ground, a strange baton protruded from her arm as she stood tall, not even a dozen feet away from one of the nights "Your goal." Was all she said, pointing the baton at the Knight
-
The nearest knight immediately stepped back, instinctively raising his shield. "To learn." Answers another knight. "Our goal is to learn."
-
The baton suddenly retracted and the woman nodded approvingly "A Noble cause." She said, keeping her hand extended as if for a shake "I am Oracle. I will take you to where you may learn."
-
The knights relaxed slightly. "Thank you, maddame."
-
She took a step forward, than another and a few more before stopping, keeping her hand extended "Who might you be."
-
"I am Sir Mark DeLance of the Order of Trinity Cross." Mark replied, sheathing his sword and reaching to shake her hand. "These are Sir Jean le Crecy and Sir William Morrison." He gestures to the other Knights.
-
She shook his hand with a firm shake "Pleased to meet you."
-
"It is good to meet you as well." He replied.
-
"Now than, there is a place not to far away from here. It is named the dojo."
-
"Ah, yes. We have heard of it. Perhaps there we shall find allies to our cause?"
-
"Yes, most likely. There is a large library containing history and knowledge the likes of which you have never seen..."
-
"Intrieging. We shall see it." He nods.
