Tancred looks at the mountain, and looks into the distance behind him. He spends some time, looking back and forth. He watches as some begin to make the climb. He watches as some call out for him to get a move on.
He thinks about Skye. She'd have to be rescued. The evil force they were up against would have to be fought, and the party needed every man they could get. Duty and conscience raged within the Cavalier's mind. It would be a breach of honour not to follow, to help and save the hapless elf. A duty to expel and kill the evil they faced.
He sighed, deeply. There really was no way out of this. Duty was one thing, but destiny was another...
He took one, last look at the climbing party. With a wave of goodbye and a whispered 'good luck', he turned away, walking into the darkness, back to the plains - towards another mountain, far in the distance.
OOC: For those of you not aware, Tancred's background story is coming up. I've dropped hints here and ther in the past - Lord Shield might have recognised Malvolio de Vere from his time in the Bar, some might dimly recall Karnas mentioning someone named Siona in the past... but here, soon, it's all going to come together.
