Re: HEADING OUT...SEEING A BIT OF IRONMOUND>
Kree nods, This time of year, and for the rest of the spring, summer and fall..there will be merchants, famrers and travelers about...in the winter will be those who bring in speiacl goods, folks traveling to see family for Holidays...but..there will always be those like us...who go out to earn coin with thier wits and weapons...
The elf turns a bit as if he did not notice the bodies before,..All those who passed us were either Mercenaries, Companies, or even some bravos who sat at an Inn one night, and deciede to be heroes after afew Bard's songs and many flaggons of ale..Those bodies on the Litters are either Comarades they hpe to bring back...or perhaps bounties that have been collected...there is a good bet, we will look like that, next we head towards Ironmound...
Soon, a bunch of horsemen come riding hard towards the City, 4 ironmound troopers, they all bear wounds and bandages, there are two riderless horses with them as well...THe leader Reigns his horse in, not far from the and dismounts. A sergent, by his look, his left leg is a bit limp, You..You men are Crimmson Arrows..aye? A painted elf gave me this, to see if i might bring it to The arrows in The Mound. Kree takes it and opens it. He reads it for a moment and shakes his head, a dark smile on his face. He reaches inside his tunic, pulls out a small Purse and tosses it to the sargent, Thank you..this is from my brother-in-blood..might i ask you how you came by your wounds?
The Sergent frowns at the purse and makes to hand it back as he answers,...we ran afould with River pirates that had a camp set up down this side of the river..we thought them to be woodsmen, until we saw thier boats hidden in the overhanging trees...I am thinking they attack at night, then make thier way to the swamps, or head to Olant...
Kree nods, Thank you..and keep the coin..take your men to The Walk The Plank...There wil be a dwarf there..Reedrick, by name..tell him all you have told me..and you and your fellows enjoy the food and drink..."
The sergents nods with a smile and mounts up, the men ride hard towards the City as Kree says to the others, Tental. One of My brothers has found a nest of catfolk...he had heard from Reedrcik we were on the way...who wants toharvest some cats?
