after the meassages  were sent, Kree  placed the device in a Puch and secured it. they  added another   few sticks to the   tiny fire place, the  room was  warmer then one would think, since most of the winds were blocked  by other Buildings.

 kree enjoyed the warmth, Truth be told , elves  didn't mind  weather  or the other, But he did not like the cold. He missed the Balck Timber  right now, or even Ironmound.

 Taking a big drink drom the bottle of elven  gold,  he put the cork , set it on the night  stand and slipped into the bed

Lysander relished a good night sleep, but when he awoke, he knew what needed doing.

Tyri had bid the others goodnight and headed up with Ivyain to their room, a devious smirk on her lips, knowing what would transpire and glad for some alone time with him.

Moltke enters his room and sees Krywn inside getting ready to part ways with the day's end. He nods in greeting and begins to get ready to greet the soft-ish bed of the inn. Mid-way through his grooming, Moltke looks up and asks Krywn, you have traveled long with the captain and some of the other members of the Arrows. Would you tell me a bit of your travels as an Arrow? Or perhaps of any previously unseen magics?

Farora heads to bed shortly after the children, feeling her duty of entertaining them is complete. She bids Lysander a good night and Elandra as well, falling asleep quickly.

 In the Morning, Gidlap made his way down the  hall of the 2nd floor to Kree's  room.. he  tapped   with the keyrings  and said,captain..Tis  one   ring 'fore  sunrise  as you asked... there  was no noise of  movement for inside, and Gidlap was  frightened  when eh Door  swung open..

 Thank you Gidlap... we may stay this night  yet, depending on how  our  work  goes. The children will stay with yiou, until  troopers  from Ironmound  fetch them, Youb will be paid  for tht , of course. Please.. do not mistreat them, I should ahte to add your  name to the list of  people i must...educate?

Gidlap nodded,The Ladies   have stirabout  cooking and  sausages . Me own bread is int eh oven should be ready  for you all...

 There  should be two more   coming sometime this  morning.

 Very Good, Captain. an' if i may, please accept me  thanks  for  usin' me  services.  The Money will do the  Girls good, and that's me sayin'

 Kree gave him a   small smile,  and went back into the  room.. a  moment or  so, Kree  stepped out of the  room with his   gear, knocking on the    doors  with  his   dagger pommel,Time to rise and eat, we have  work to do.... Children..come and eat...

 kree  when  down the stairs  to a table  that was already laid out.. there were three   sailors   sitting by the  fire, who watched  him come  down and take  a seat.

 Elandra awoke before dawn, and she stripped naked and knelt and began her morning prayers. She would not be ashamed if Alyna saw her naked, Elandra was not ashamed of her body, and if she could be naked before her goddess was the best way to pray.

 When she finished her prayers, she noticed Alyna was not up yet, she got dressed in her armor then her vestments and then went to check on the children and help get them ready,

Lysander woke before dawn, but he felt rested.  He waited at a table until anyone else joined him, as he wanted to walk around the block.

Farora drags herself out of sleep and joins Elandra in helping the kids, then goes to sit with Lysander. Mornin, she yawns wide before covering her mouth when she remembers her teeth.

Finally. It had been such a long time since he'd seen his friends and been in the field. And here at the inn, he finally arrived, clad head to toe in his usual gleaming armor and heavy weapons.

He's escorting her highness Dala, though she's in field gear and not obvious for what she is.

He looks around for the Captain and..."Captain! It's been some time. "

   Kree  went around the   Table to Greet  Luthien , with the Warriors arm grasp,I see they didn't  drop you into the Storm.  Luthien would have went straight to the bottom.  he  chuckles.


 then he   turns to   Dala , who had the look of an archer, or perhaps a young Ranger..So?  He  brought you would  to the edge of the Empire....what makes you think i want you here!

 She looked  surprised, and stammered out..You said the Arrows   would always  need good bows... i have my bow this time... she meekly held her bow...
Kree's  stern look vanishes   as he chuckled with a smile,   she laughed  and they   hugged. their foreheads together..You best not  die  out here.. I'd hate to  fight the  Ironmound  regulars...again..

 she  was  smiling and  Happy,You and Antok trained me... it will take more then a Hargenite  to bring me down..

 Sit  down..get  some hot  food  and cold  drink..or  hot Cafee or tea... i have  only flown once, on a  Wyvern..it was cold as the 9 hells.

"They wait at the den north of here for payment. Given the natural oil and water nature of light and darkness, he probably deserves a bonus for being that professional."

It really is impressive they could be so professional given the anathema in between.

 Elandra comes down with the children and she sets them up at a table for breakfast, then Luthien showed up, Elandra was all smiles she ran over to the white knight and said," Luthien it is so good to see you again, May Peace be with you, and it is good to see you again Dala, May Peace always be with you." Elandra wasnt sure if she wanted everyone who didnt know who was told she was a Princess.

Lysander tells Kree, “I am going to take a slow walk around the block to see if anyone is too interested in us.”

  Kree looks to Lysander,Once we  eat, we are  all goign to   walk around Yad. and we will eliminate  any slavers, or Hargenites  we  see.. we will  want to Capture some, so i can make the payment to or  Friends in the Shadiows.

Luthien is just as happy to see her! "Elandra, good to see you again...I was told about the kids, why don't you introduce us to all of them?"

Never know if one of the kids might have an especially bright future.

"You might want to consider leaving someone to guard the children, if anyone saw us save them.  Powerful motivation to cause harm to those we help."

Luthien replies, "We have accounted for that. A ship is coming in to take them back to Ironmound. I do wish to meet them though."

Of course the ship will be much slower than the means of travel he took. Means of travel that took all the self discipline in the world.

Moltke had awoken from a restless sleep, one which had haunted him with all the knowledge unknown. As he made ready and headed down the stairs, he saw a warrior in full plate talking intimately with the other members of the Arrows. It was the man from the magical projections last night, the one that the captain had spoken to. Curiously, he made his way over to the man, Hello there, I believe we have seen each other yesterday but have not yet introduced ourselves to one another. I am Moltke, a mage; it is a pleasure to meet you in person.

Tyri whined a bit when Kree hit their door with his dagger and snuggled further up to Ivy, not wanting to get up. “Do we have to get up?” she pouted, nuzzling his neck. Instead of waiting for a response, she shifted and kissed Ivy’s deeply, clearly wanting more…

*     *     *

With a smile on her lips, Tyri practically skipped downstairs, her long honey colored hair worn down and loose for the moment. Subtly stealing a few inappropriate touches, Tyri moved towards the table. “Good morrow,” she said in a singsong type voice, pausing as she looked at the two newcomers, trying to decide if they were familiar or not.

Riven had remained awake for a good portion of the night, feeling rather restless and uneasy. She wasn’t all too sure as to why but there was no point really in trying to fight it. The knock upon the door had pulled her from her thoughts and she stood up, raking her fingers through her shaggy mop of wheat colored hair before pulling her hood up. She left her mask down around her neck for the time being since she knew she’d be eating breakfast.

Quickly, she slipped out of the room she occupied with whomever after grabbing her gear and headed downstairs. The smell of breakfast made her stomach grumble loudly as she took a seat, merely nodding to the others.

Krwyn answers Moltke shortly, as he aims to go downstairs to see if Luthien has shown up already. "I traveled quite extensively with Kree and Ivy, here and in a former live of us. I don't think he uses a lot of magic as he isn't a magic user himself. He may have some magical artifacts, just like my bow, but not much that I'm aware off.
We traveled wide and far and fought all evil that we could slavers, an evil sect, some regular troops, sandfolk trying to defile the Timber, boarded a ship and more. His way around the world is always intense, with no place for the real evildoers."

For Krwyn, this is quite a speech. He turns and goes down for breakfast, and hopefully a meeting with Luthien and his fiancée.

 Elandra gave Luthien a hug even in his armor, and then gave Dala a deep head bow. Elandra then would lead Luthien to the table with the children eating. " Children this is my good friend and fellow Arrow Luthien he is a holy knight." Elandra felt good around Luthien, it was nice to have another truly holy person with her. " Children a ship is coming for you soon, and May Peace Always be with you and Amot will watch over you as you journey."

For his part, Elandra's hug was almost cleansing, like the taint of what he had to ride to get here was washed away. "Thanks. Needed that."

Then he was escorted to the kids. "Yes, I am Luthien. I am grateful to see you are all well."

His other eyes scanned them in search of light. Sometimes those who suffer most shine brightest.

Then there's the mage who helped him communicate. "A pleasure to see you in person." Some of the other arrows were heading down too. He'd catch up as soon as he could.

Krwyn reaches the taproom, foremost to meet Luthien, second to eat his breakfast. As soon as he sees the man in shining armor, he steps to him, shaking his hand enthousiastic: "Well done Luthien, congratulations are in place. Your mission was perhaps even harder than ours." and turning to the princess: "Congratulations for you too. You'll make a fine couple!"
