there was a gathering  of sorts...Iiomer  watched...

Walking with Luthien and Dala, Alyna did nothing to draw attention once the others came in view.   She listened, assessing the situation, and made ready to aid her fellow Arrows if the need arose.

Lysander whispered to the nobleman, _{"So, are you and I going to have a problem, mister nobleman?  I have absolutely no issue with causing a Harganite pain, whereas, if you cooperate, there is a possibility of your life extending past today."}

 The As Elandar   and her people  were with their Catch.... shortly, Ivy was leading the sailors up the  hill into the trees.

   There were three More people behind them, and Kree could be seen with his  comrades  leaving the gate

Ilomur watched the Dwarf and woman closely. He was not sure if they were highwaymen or not, but from the way they were acting he did not think so. He was going to move closer, but there were men coming, so he tucked himself into the brush keeping a warry eye on them. He had the bola at the ready, as well as his dagger.

 Elandra saw the other arrows coming, she looked at the Hargenite Noble, " Farora, Lysander grab him lets head to the trees with Ivy. May Peace be with us." Elandra would lead Lysander, Farora and the Hargenite scum towards the trees with the others.

Lysander gets the noble on his feet and moves him along.

  Ivy's Group got closer,  He Motioned  for the Sailors to the  small bit off  clearing in a  Fine Copes.

 While, My friends   you seemed to catch a Fatter  fish, But we have some  bit fish here

The Nobel was  about to say something, Buy looked  at Lysander and  thought the better of it.

 Luthien  and  his  group apporached,  and not  far behind  was  Kree and His group.

 What is this!... looks like  a gang to me...

 Ivy smiles , don't  you worry.. its a bit of a game, you'll get your turn in it...as soon as the Captain gets here.

Ilomar slowly moves a bit closer to try and over hear some of the conversation. He tried to make out any details he could on the people he was watching. He once again did not think this was a simple bunch of bandits, but he had not lived this long by rushing in, unless he knew for sure they were slavers.

Ilomur found a nice outcrop with cover and hunkered down where he could see them and the surrounding area. He slowly and quietly notching an arrow, as he placed the bola and dagger within reach. He thought he could make out a design or badge of some sort, but he was just not sure. *Bide your time. They will show their intent.*

Lysander gets the attention of those around him and whispers, without pointing, _{"I think there is someone or something moving up there along the treeline."}

Alyna glanced in a particular direction, then stepped nearer to Luthien. "I think I saw something move, further up the tree line," she said to him, just above a whisper.

She tried to get another glimpse, without staring. In her head was the words of one of the spells Moltke taught her.   The one that supposedly didn't miss...

Lol, I wrote that before Lys posted.

  Ivy   doesn't look up the tree line,we shall deal witht hat  after our  Shadow friends  come.... Perhaps  Kree  will  send us lookijg?

   Ivy pointes  to the   Ground,Alright  to soggy Hargenites, have  a seat...

   The hell you say!..

 Kree  hears the   rising Voice of the  sailor , in a smooth , Unrushed  Motin, his Bow  is nocked and brought  up

  he calls up..Relax.. you will not  be here  long

Ilomur noticed the woman looking his way and gathers his things slowly and deliberately, then begins belly crawling thru the brush stopping from time to time making sure not to make too much of a disturbance as he moves. *Sharp eyes it seems.* He thought as he made his way further up the hill side and away from where he was just off to the left of it. He made sure when he stopped to glance down at them and listened to his surroundings, but keeping hidden as much as possible without giving away himself.

Ilomur had stalked many this way and patience was always something he had, for the most part, unless he was tracking slavers. The anger inside of him would get the best of him then and he would let it take him to get his revenge.

In reply to Alyna Redveil (msg # 65):

"We will continue to get closer...melee is my preference.

So they will approach.

  Kree's  team   came up the other side of Luthien's . there would not be  an escapeto the Town

 Ivy   held  the  norther west,  with Elandra  and her people to the  south east, if the  Hardenites were to  run, they would have to run up the Mountain.

 Looking at the Dense  evergreen covers, and   shade from the Mountain, Kree   said , as he lowered his bow a bit.well?  we have us here, some offerings...   If our friends  are agreeable, they may have a lot more. If not? we will have some work to do.

The Noble  snapped,Listen, You Long  Eared bastard..  We will pay dearly for this!

Kree only smiled , and tilted his head.

Lysander smacked the noble on his head with the handle of his axe.

Moltke had positioned himself slightly behind the captain, looking around as the Arrows began to converge around the town. He had prepared himself for a fight, yet he could not help himself from exclaiming, Oh, dear, as he watched Lysander hit the noble with the blunted end of his axe. This will surely liven up the day, he thinks to himself.

 Elandra smiled and looked at the Nobel then to Lysander," Be careful we dont want him dead yet he needs to pay for his crimes against others Peace." Elandra would move closer to the others and watch for any runners with her guiding bolt ready.

 Elandra smiled and replied," Yes Captain, we got a fat one for sure, but I would like to get any information out of him first unless your friends might do it easier for us."

Luthien circled around, behind the Hargenites...incidentally cutting off escape to the mountain as well.

He is slouched in a way he never is, his heraldry disguised, looking nothing like the righteous holy knight he really is.

"Pay dearly ye say? And just how much do ye look to be paying?"

He looked like a mercenary. If Alyna did well, they'd believe he was a mercenary and start offering him coin...

He has no need of coin, but people back in Ironmound do, and he might reveal some source of wealth.

Her mouth opened slightly as Lysander walloped the guy one.    And she then waited to see the result of it.   She suspected this was over before it had begun, and after having advanced with Luthien, held her ground, kept some attention toward the trees, and waited.

Ilomur did not move as he felt the eyes of those down there looking his way. He should of just left and went back to his tracking and now wished he had. He had no clue what was going on down there. It could just be a bandit group for all he knew fleecing some coin. Still, it impressed him that they managed to spot him, so it intrigued him to wait and watch for a bit more.

  Kree looked  around  at the others, a brief  glance to the trees, but  nothing  else. Replacing the  arrow,  He  drew his  Dirk.If  we did not pull you from twon,  I would have you all staked and Gutted, for the animals of the night to fee on you, while you watched...we have seen many slaves, who suffer such. And  I make it a habit, of returning pain for pain..

 He   pointed the  Dirk  at the Noble man, as  he walked  forward..I will start with you, because, most times Hargenite Leader let thier   lackies  die  first. Then decide to speak after wards... To save you sailors  from my tender mercies... Tell me what  your people are  doing in the Gorge..Tell me, and I will spare you from my  blade.

 Ivy's  Blade was out, his easy going smile said.My cousin, sometimes , have a wager.. he will start on one  foot, and I will start on the other, we try to  she   whole peel the longest strip of flesh, before  out subject passes out or  dies.. Neither of us  reached  the knee yet..but? Who know. To  day may be the day we  reach the Hip!

 The Sailor s  were losing their  bravado.. they looked   back and  forth at   the  groups  of  strangers, that somehow  herded them to this spot, outside the  walls of Yad.

 I..I am not sure.. I know they have  two dams rising. One  before and After the
  little Widow, the gats  are massive , to let  ships through. but it  does  not make sense to me, because if you dam the   river it was  still  flow  around  stince  it flows to the
  east..

 I believe you..so you shall  be spared my Blade.. he made a stylish spin of the  blade  , before it  returned to its sheath.

 Ivy?  Call out  friends...

 Ivy nodded, reaching into his  backpack. pulling out a  small, cloth  covered   Back, he worked his   flint and steel. lit it, and tossed   it  up the  slope where a drak red  clod  of  smoke  seemed to rush away as if  escaping

 Kree looked at the newer members.Remember, those who are comign, our allies, they have aided us more the once...

 Elandra smiled at the Hargenite Noble," Now you will get you dues slaver." Elandra didnt care personally for their allies, but they have helped them a lot in the past and they dont bother her she doesnt bother them.

Ilomur slides his bow to his back, as well as sheathing his daggers. He moves slowly away from the red smoke, then he slowly stands hands out at his side for them to see and begins walking towards them slowly.

 Elandra turns with her hand glowing with bright yellow white light," Hello good sir, you do not look like a slaver or Hargenite so, state your purpose here, May Peace be with you."
