Chris helped himself to alignments via character sheets. I didn't see one for Tarek, so Josh, let me know if he actually is "Evil" aligned, though I am guessing CN
Ian is satisfied that none of the new folks pose a threat.

"Hello, I am Theodras, ranger of Blackrock. Are there people trapped in this building?"
After setting down his bow and pack he begins to clear the rubble with the others.
"Thank Paelor, a Ranger! I am lost outside of the city. Yes, yes, I heard someone calling from inside the old jail here. Come on, he may be hurt." Ian earnestly moves a couple small pieces of rubble, then welcomes the break as he answers the torch bearer.

"Did you see what evil transpired here?" he asks Ian.
Ian sits on a partial wall to take a break.
"Sadly, friend, I did not. But, I have some guess. Earlier this morning, I fought off a group of strange little green creatures. They had.... things, uh.... what's the word I'm looking for? Sorry, I never got past the 8th decree at Lord of Light school for boys in Starfell. Uh... contraceptions? No, no.... combustions? No, that is what happens afterwards.... Contractions! yeah, they had these big metal contractions that shot lightning and mad all sorts of loud noises."
Still sitting, Ian makes his elbows stiff and moves his arms like a robot from the shoulders. He makes buzzing and whirring noises with his mouth.
"I managed to drive that group off from the ranch where I was working as an extra hand. I was just passing through this area, you see. I am on a walk-about as they call it down south. I spent my whole life in Starfell, working for the city guard. I never left the city, not once in nearly 50 years."
Ian makes motions with his finger, directing the other 2 men where to put the rubble.
"So I said to myself, I may only have a few good years left that my legs will carry this belly around. By Paelor, I want to see some of the world, you know? Meet people, go places. I never saw anything like those creatures or their contractions though."
"By the Light, where are my manners? I have been sleeping in barns for too long." Ian does smell a bit, now that he mentions it. "My name is Ian Trustram, formerly of the Starfell City Watch. I was the eyes and ears of the city for 34 years. I saw 9 different Captains come and go. I helped restore peace after the orkish race riots of '63. I kept order when them damn elven Rainbows came through in '72. Ha! I never saw so many dogs in one place."
Ian has talked his mouth dry and takes a long sip on his water skin, content that he is entertaining the younger men as they labor.
