In reply to Justin (msg # 51):

Diana took her stack.

She went to the bartender.

"Know where a girl can find a nice, relaxing came of cards?" She asked.

  Greyfox looks  over  at the water clock,..'bout 2 hours   folks  will be rollin' in. There's a couple  guys  who lie to play fer coin..sometimes , have to drag folks out whe they Lose....but they'll be here...

Lar's eyes opened a bit at the stack of coins and he glanced around the room. "It might have been wise to divide the coin in private Kree.  Now we're all marked as carrying enough to make us worth rolling." Still he takes his share of the coins and secures them in his pouch kept under his tunic away from easy access by pilfering fingers.

  He winks  at  LArs,Aye, you would think  that now....someone brave  enough to try to take out  some Arrows....they minght be worth talking to..or..eliminating...

Lar shakes his head but chuckles.  "An odd way of recruiting but doubtless effective.  It's like hunting for sharks by spreading blood and offal in the water with you."

Luthien also took his share.

"Brother Justin, did you find out what Temples were in town?"

He figured he'd get the tithes out of the way now.

  The   Blue-eyed  elf  laughs,..do not credit him so! He is  just lazy, and perfers the targets to come to him!

In reply to Luthien (msg # 57):

Aye Luthien, there be a Roman anst a Norse...

Luthien cocked his head.

"Interesting. I shall have to pay them a visit. Do you recommend either of them?"

In reply to Diana (msg # 53):

"Great." She says.

She returns to her seat, and begins to eat the food that was prepared.  She goes very easy on the ale, instead drinking something non-alcoholic.

In reply to Lucy (msg # 39):

When there was a break in the conversation, Lucy excused herself.

"Listen, I got to go and get paid.  I'll catch you later, okay?" She said.

She went to where the money was laid out, and took her stack.  Then she went out to "see the town."

She wasn't after seeing anything in particular, just mostly just seeing what was what, and 'playing tourist' for the most part.

Riku had been fluttering above them and watching with immense curiosity at all the shiny.  When it was all counted and divied up, she fluttered down to Kree and landed on the table before him by her portion.

I don't suppose that this could be....carried for me? she said shrugging and batting her lashes at him.

  Kree Looked at those  , before they could  leave he offered a warning,..we have rooms here... it will be about as safe here as we might get. This is a ..."friendly"  town..but do not push your  Luck, Eta  and Neta, sometimes have thier hands full.....

 A pouch he took from the Cat Folk Leader, that he  and Wolf  had used  for Serpent bait was pulled from  Kree's pack. The  Pouch had  two Claws sewed into it  for decoration...This?  Will be your Pouch..I will have it in  my backpack, should you have need of it....

Lar settled back to eat and savor a drink having no need to try his luck on the town.

Justin acknowledged Kree's caution; when he had finished eating he bid those still there a good nights rest, then headed to the temple. Once there he gave thanks once more to Eta.

She gave him a wink and a nod as she found some where to perch and relax if not just people watch this evening.

Crucian had watched everyone proudly walk up and take the funds.  He was a bit beside himself on how he felt about it.  His keep was always by feeding himself and his companion.  A comfortable mat to sleep on and ever so now and then a bath in a cool stream, to settle for the night.  It was rare he ever actually earned any coin.

All but one of the piles was now sitting before Kree.  Cru looked at everyone a bit dismayed on what he should do.

Keep it, he said.  I'll find other ways of earning my keep.

  Kree looks at Cru and shrugs,..you joined the company, Companies, get paid  when the coin arrives.It is yours, what you do with it...is also up  to you.

Cru looks at Kree and blinks.  He's at odds with himself and shrugs reaching to the table carefully and picking up the coin.  He pockets the coins and looks to his dog with a shrug of he didn't know quite what to do.

He walked towards the rooms area where Kree mentioned and decided it was time to rest.

  Kree    TAkes  a Bottle  of Wine  and heads Up the Steps. Ivy...has moved over  and begins chatting with a pair of Local women who  have  sat at the counter, looking for someone to but the a drink...

 Justin and  Luthien  go to the Temple to  pay their  tribute, then  check  with the Children. The Priests said a Runner had  Come to them not long  ago. and  they are, at this Moment, Looking for the next caravan heading on the MAin road towards  Ironmound. According to the Children,The Orcs   and Humans  are to continue to Ironmound. The Elves will be sent to  Ironwood with  Elven scouts who  visit the  roadhouses.


 it is dark now, closing in on 9:00 PM...people are beginning to walk about  to get last minute  things  from market stalls  or  some of the Businesses. there are  a few  folks standing in pairs or in groups  talking about the Wagon that come into town, the Company of Arrows  at the Inn.

 other Rumors heard...Goblins have been found  Drained of blood...those who found them have burned the bodies

  there seems to be more HArgen troops  hunting the this side of the  High Peak Mts...they seem to be searching  for something..this has resulted in many...though scattered...firefights  between those loyal to the empire   and those of  the Dark State.

Justin considers the what he has heard thanks the Priest, spends some time praying to Eta then heads back to the Inn.

 During the Night, LArs  comes down the steps. He places a  small wrapped Bundle on the counter  and  asks the Night  girl to give it to Kree in the Morining.

  Without another word, Lars  leaves the Inn, heading back  down to road to Olant.

  Moring  Comes, the  Kree waits  for the rest of the Group. Ivy comes in the Door, one of the townswomen, give him a Kiss  and she  , reluctantly , heads out for her new day.

 The Smiling Blueeyed  elf sits next th kree and begins to Butter some bread  and pour some of the Caffee...Good Night? 

 Kree chuckles,Aye, But perhaps, not as good as yours...

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 74):

Justin returns from his morning vidual at the Eta's shrine entering the Inn and catching the last of the Elves comment. Good morrow to Thee Captain Kree, Lieutenant Ivy how doth Thy rests

 ..mine was well enough.... Kree said.

 ..depends, My friend, what you mean by ...rest... Ivy grins taking a drink of the hot  beverage.

 Isra came down, she  seemed to walk with a bit more confidence they the last few days. Good  Morn to you all. How long  will it  be  before  to leave?

 ..maybe..an Hour, depends on the others....

 she sits down and begins to eat.
