MERCHANT'S LANDING

  Orlin looks looks back at the other part of the town then at the docks then at the hostile lands across the river. “You need more Dwarves.  To set up some quick earthen-works.”  He scans the lands,  and to clear back a bit from the river on the other side so you can see if anyone approaches the river.”

  Ivy    smiles at Stardancer,..there is a proper  doack now,  and there  should be on   when  we put in  by the trade road  , at the Trace Wood...... so i  think you  wil be  'sling safe'...

 Kree   smiles  a bit  , he adds,Make sure you get  what items you need,  when  we  disembark  outside of Trace, we  are  Going for the traitors  , ebfore they have a  chance to escape.

  Ivy  shakes his head,gotta  watch  for serpants,  even the small obe s will take a Gold Piece  size bite  from you, and the Blood will draw many more, and  alot of bigger ones.

    Orlin shakes his head.  “You see?  That’s the problem with the lowlands right there.  You can’t even wash your arse without something trying to take a bite of it.”  He gesticulates in the general direction of the mountains.  “Even a high land Orc has the good sense to wait on ambushing you till you have started drying off.”  He says under his breath “but then it usually takes that long for them to get over the  flash blindness.”

MERCHANT'S LANDING

  After a Bit of time, the ships are sighted , passing the   Plain Elves's  Docks the last ship in  line  does  put in there, to unload/load  goes  and set upo some trade, the other  two ships are sailing  towards them.

 The   watch  calls  Kree  and he climbs the tower, looking out the Glass... The flags  flying on the main mast shows  the  Ironmound Empire , with the  Black Timber  flag under it... with one  change..a  red Arrow  is under the  Three Black trees  on the green Backround.

 The watchman   grins at   Kree,..differant  bit of business  in the lands  now.....we shall see what comes of it!

MERCHANT'S LANDING

  The Ships  finally   were    Pulling  into the Docks,  for right now they had  one long  , wooden  dock  with   'drawbridge' like    gangways to   set  across to the ships  they would need to  grow  the  Docks, but for  right now,  this would suffice.

 Gord   Bronzefist   walked   down the   gangway  to the    fellow who was in charge of loading and  Unloading.

 A rider  was sent to   the   'town', so more wagons  could be brought over.

  Kree walked over to the   dock and greeted  Bronzefist as he   walked  down the next ramp to the  ground.

 Hail, Captain.... its  nice to see a new   place of Business opening up... Veegrhouss is   still at the Plains  Elves     landing,  dropping off  goods  there, and Picking some Up?  They will Join us when  we sail back down River to  The Trace LAnding...

 we can leave   as soon as  , what goods  that are going out, is ready... maybe   Tomorrow  night?

 Sounds Good.. what is the news  of  Mok?

 we all just sail past fer now?  But them  Sandfolk.. there's a  civil war in there.. them Meerchant Lords   made alot of people suffer, so's they could be rich... now   they are paying fer it... That  Ship ye  burned... its  Lost fer Good,  burned to the  water  line, Insides  burned outwards   until  the water  poured in, the  quay it  rested in is now  blocked, they'd  almost have to get Merfolk to help them, and they don't like fresh water all that much.

While he waits, Krwyn cleans his gear, uses his wetstone to sharpen his swords and controls all of his arrows.

MERCHANT'S LANDING

  the Morning   is arriving, the ships  crew  are all sitting by the fire   eating and drinking, waitng  for the Captain to tell them   to   get goping.

 they loaded  Elven wine and  Bows, along  with a crate of swords, and   Bundles  of  Elf-made  clothing Barrels  of  Nuts  from the Black Timber..and most important..1/2 ton of  Ironwood Planks  that they    saved from  the buildings.

 they  would fetch  Money at the plains  Elves    port, as they  could sell them to folk going to Tou..or  add it to  wood  at the trace wood, goign to Trok. None would find its way to Ironmound, for that.. the Empire  would have to deal  directly with the Black Timber

 Kree looked over the railing, Ivy sitting on a barrel , re-wrapping  the hilt of his dagger...how many  staying?

 ..a few....

 how many  coming...

 A few.... others have place to go.. some, i think , found the burdan too heavy.. but? those who are boarding the ship, are made of sterner  stuff.. we'll see this through, then  I have to see the Emperor because of the Tou   complaints... then?  we'll find our next mission...

   Orlin lends Stardancer a stabilizing hand.  At Kree's comment he turns his head and snorts.  "I have wandered far from home to be in this unit.  Whatever God, Goddess, or collaboration of these that has guided my steps has brought me thus far an taught me and my charge much.  I would not be thanking them to step off the path.  My odd past has a purpose to serve and I can feel it lies with the crimson arrows.  My fate is my own, but my faith will lie with the road before me."

   His staff laughs and says something unintelligible "Thanks,"  Orlin says dryly "I'm glad you liked it"

 as the ships sailed   Northward, the third  ship of the  squadron was sailing  down to Merchant's landing...

 The look out   called down saying there  were merchant wagons comign  from Tou towards  Merchants Landing.. he could see the dust from the wagons as they rolled.

 Kree frowned at this,I hope the Wardens see them as well, and  are ready for anything  that might resemble  the attack made on our  Village, so long ago....

  Bronzefist  nodded  and waved to the other CAptain as the ships  past each other , crew  shouting   good natured insults  and such across the  water..

 He pointed up river,we'll be  sailin' through the night again... we'll be at the  Trace Wood  LAnding about  Highsun...an' ye'll be able to see what Mok looks like now, at elast from the river.

Niphre watched the squadrons go down to Merchant's Landing, and she could see the dust of the wagons. It was a interesting journey, this journey. So many sights, and so many people that she had met.
