Re: TOU
The driver was Up, stirring the pot from last nights fare, and setting tea to boil.
By the time he had his horse hooked up, the other three had taken care of their morning needs and sat around the small fire.
three elves were walking across the field, in the daylight it was easy to see the elves kept a good 50 -100 yards of grasses cut to give them a killing field, infront of the trees...already some of those who did not fight for a living where Bundling up grasses to take back to villages, either for fodder, or fuel
The three elevs reached the mages.. a..for an elf..middle aged scout spoke , her eyes were on the Mageling, ignoring the 'leader'....when you are ready? You will approach the entrance to The Timber... you will follow the scout that will lead you down the trade road.... any exit from that road, will be considered a hostile act, and you will be treated thus...
A bitter chuckle came from the leader,..I am most certain, we can follow a road. elf....
she looked at him, her right eyebrow rising to disappear under her green armored helm...perhaps...i should think not, after your actions on the road? At any rate, you are ....guests... it will be ill mannered for us to allow your deaths in the Timber..unless, of course, we caused it ourselves...please... Keep that in mind, when you enter the trees...
she turned and the group walked towards the entrance to await them... The Leader was about to stand, and the driver put a hand on his leg, shaking his head.
The leader relaxed..and stared at the driver's hand, then at his face, causing the driver to withdraw the hand...touch me again, you low born trash.. and i will remove that hand...
the driver merely smiled at the leader, this caused him to lean back from the driver,..look?..I don't bloody give a damn if ye get yerself killed.. if you lack the brains of a rooteater, that isn no concern of mine....what concern there is? is that yer ego will get us all killed....and i don't feel like dying, because some fool's ego was cut to the quick...
The Mageling just nodded and shrugged,..the man has a point, Captain? We do the guild, no good if we are dead...
about fifteen minutes later, the driver was cleaning the pot and taking care to make sure the fires was dead... then the small group moved towards the dark entrance to the trees...
