  After a good two hours  of   haggling, drinking   and inspecting. Hired hands  were appreaing at the Docks to take  Crates marked  with the  runes  for thier  bosses  shops and stalls.

 The Serpent  Meat was  wrapped tight. and carfully handled  by the  foreman for the groups.

 A Fellow  called Vizzi , who nwas  the  ...defacto leader of the  Lesser Lords approached kree, and the other Captains...

 .. You..have   Done well,  Outlander.... This...will be good for  all the Lesser Lords..and.. those  customers  we have...

 Kree poured a half measure of wine  for  Vizzi,.. First off.. I am thinking yo need a  better name then the 'lesser lords'.... You might not have the  coin.. but you out number them 10 to one.... Now?   I did what i did, to sell my goods, and keep them out of The Hands of the Merchant Lords...I have.... issues... with merchants, as they seem to Avoid my peoples in the Black Timber  and the Trace Wood...

 ..but yo have  helped us?

 ..Aye.. but not with out the  aid  of these other Captains... They could have sold their goods.. and  i would have  had to depend on you, to buy our wares....

 Vizzi downs the wine    and grins,..you have made  enemies this  day..Elf.... But.. you have  made , more  friends....

  He walked off with his people..Broth  looked at Luthien,..Seems  we sold everything... never seen anything like this...

 The Captains left for thier ships, when things   quieted  down... Kree looked to Broth...Take out of the coin what you need to  have the  ship sail again, then pay the crew and   The Arrows... we..leave   to enter the city in  an hour...

 Ivy chuckled,..so?.. in a town that  hates  us already.. you have  just made the powerful..hate us more...

 Kree  Grabbed   what was left of  the  wine  Bottle  and   sipped  from it..handing it back to   Ivy...aye..there are going to be three types of people in that town.. Rich folk that want to kill us....poor people that the rich people pay to kill us... and Nomral folk who, might..not  hate us   all that much.. at elast until  we  stick an arro in one of thier 2nd cousins...

"Many seem to think doing the right thing often yields to financial loss. Clearly, this isn't always true. Sometimes, doing right by other people, and the world at large, can yield more money than being a bastard ever could."

Pause.

"Doing the right thing also comes with a commodity at least as important as gold. Which is trust. Amazing what doors trust can open up."

Pause again.

"If I may, you may wish to consider yourselves a merchant's guild. Together, you are stronger than you are alone."

    as the  Arrows   walked up the   road tot eh GAtes, they saw   many  guards  with  Purple cloaks  and Silver  Helms.. some  with spikes, some   smaller  , rounded  points.

 Kids  watched their  approach.  Teh CAptain of the River watch stepped  in front of Kree... Kree merely  walked around Him, as  Ivy walked  around the other  side...

 there were  gasps  form some of the People and  laughter from others. The Watch Captain hustled  after Kree, but the elf made no sign of slowing  down as his   eyes  swept the  Inside of the walls  for  the market section.. he didn't have to  look, too hard..it was  near the  gates on purpose., for ease  shifting of  goods.

 ..YOU WILL HALT!  watchmen  lowered  spears, a few on the parapets had archers  Draw Arrows.

 Kree still did not stop,..if you have  any real charges  against us  speak them now, or go back to Lickign the Merchant Lords  Boots... I  Do Not have  time...

 Then he Pivoted with  force that  made the Bottom part of his  cloak flutter  as the rest was held  down by his  Quvier and Pack... The Captain  took a step back , as Kree said in a loud, but Cold Voice,..The Sand Folk have never  been a friend of the Black Timber..yet we  trade on good terms with them, along the edge of the River.....Now.. keeping that in mind? Ask yourself...how your families  will feel, if you all die in the next 5 minutes, because your  Captain measures  the length of the offal the Merchant Lords pass?

  A few of the  Guards looked at each other..The Captain drew  his sword....

 ..Let it be noted... The Captain drew his Blade first....he ill not be able  to  tell the tale  himself...

 ..You pointed  ear, forest Scum... YOu think you can Kill all of us!

 Of Course not!.. I will kill you and  4 or  5 others.. the rest of  my unit, will kill the rest....

  Ivy was grinning and  Nodding his head.

  A SGT came up to the Captain,...My Lord?... The elf is right.. they have done nothing except  embarrass the  Merchant Lords....and..of  course, yourself..but there is no  law against that...

  The Captain  sheaths  his  sword.. Ivy  just winks  as he nods.

 ..You think you could  defeat the  Captain of the River Guard  , Blade to Blade?

 ..I was the Captain of the guard, for  the  Imperial Palace , In Ironmound for 20 years.. so.. aye, My  newest  trooper could, most likely have taken and  5 of your people  Blade to blade...Now..hurry.. ran and tell yor Masters  you failed to kill me. Though, sicne you are still alive.. i am sure they will know that you didn't even try..

   As they    turned back around, the CAptain was  frustrated ..but   walked back out the gates.... Kree saw a small  girl near a merchant Booth..she had a  broken clay cup and was begging.

   Kneeling  Down in front of her, she looked at him, the pointed ears and the other  elf  near him... The others   following close behind. ..Ivy?

 Ivy  kneels  and  makes  a few gestures  with his fingers... her eyes get  big and smiles a  bit.. she  makes  a sign, but hides her hands...Ivy grins,.Aye..she knows.

 Alright little one... we need your help to save us time? We need  to find .....the animals that walk on the sands.....the  cheapest place, with the best animals... You be our guide.. and you'll  fill that mug more then you have  in a 10 day?

 she nods,... please Sirrah.. then  follow!

 she gets up  and  walks  ahead of the  Arrows, leading them deeper into the  MArket proper... people calling out  wares... crowds... other  beggars watched.. some smiled...there were some outlanders.. most looked like sages.. a few mercs...but scores  of Sandfolk saw them  enter the markets..and made  way.
