Holding off another yawn Lafisual relates, It was a very enjoyable night - and morning.  Will I see you after the arena?  As I said, your version I am sure would be better than the actual telling.  Honestly I am not sure what Kree has planned for us but I best get some meditation and rest.  He puts a hand on her shoulder.  It was very nice to have met you, Lia.  I trust you will be back to tell me how it goes?  He smiles at her.

    It  is growing near time,  Will you all be here when i return, or are you leaving? the elf asks.

  Malog, snorts once  more,..there is a good  bet, I wil ahve to send some of the beggar's  guild children to hunt  down my people... I would like to leave  before  1:00...

 Orila nods  with a sad  smile,we will  be leaving   as soon as   a rally my people.... I suppose  it  will be about the time  Malog wishes to leave..perhaps we  can travel together  before out   time to split  comes?

 Carn shrugs, ..i will leave ocne  i find   my people... I cannot  say, how long that will take.

 Kree    Pours  a Glass of Elven gold and  downs in in a gulp...Then?  Perhaps  your  people, need a new  Captain.  he   waves a hand to the INn,..my people will be here  when  i am ready to leave.. i will not   have to gathered them.

 Then he  turns,whomever is coming?..let us  go watch the fools  kill themselves..and get paid....  CArn glowers at Kree .

  as kree  heads  for the door, Reedrick says,watch yourself  LAddie, he's  not  the right person  ta get on yer  bad side...

 Orila  smiles,..if   all elves were like him,  we wouldn't have to worry about HArgen

Lafisual reponds to Kree ragarding going to the games by showing the key and motioning upstairs.  It seems you would have some company to the arena if you would like it.  He smiles at Lia.  Save travels and hopefully you will get a good story to tell.  With that he nods farewell and turns to head upstairs.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 218):

Brie stands after a quick gulp of drink and looks to Orila.

If more races were like him, this world would certainly be a lot more peaceful.

Farewell.

She heads out quickly behind Kree checking her double sh. swords on their thigh sheaths.

Any one we know matching up? She asks scampering along.

  Kree shrugs,it is unknown to me..all i know is that HighPriest and the Colonel are going to go at it....most like they have a few other traitors, or  slavers who are recognizable

 then he grins,..i just want our damn coin...the price  was never discussed....I am hoping the  Emperor will do right by us.

Lucy finally arrived at the Walk the Plank.  She had spent the night with her mother and was glad that she had.

Around Mid-morning she had bid her mother farewell.  It had been a tearful and happy moment, much like it always was.  On one hand, Lucy wanted to stay by her side, and make sure she was safe.  On the other, she had her commitment to the Arrows.

So, she stayed as long as she could before bidding farewell.

She got to the Plank and ordered something light to eat, and poured a glass of juice.

"So, what did I miss?" She asked.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 221):

Brie nodded, understanding that coin for everyone was a good thing.  That seeing a show of idiocy was sometimes called for, whether as a nuance or not.

I'm sure our fellas will enjoy a bit of heavy pockets for a couple of days.

She looked to Kree as they move along swiftly.

In reply to Lucy (msg # 222):

Myranda briefs Lucy about the other Arrow Leaders and the meet after the Arena and before
1. She then heads off after Kree. Quickly catching up.

In reply to Myranda of the Glenn (msg # 224):

Lucy decides to join the others at the Arena.  Up North they don't have a large arena games, more like smaller ones in the spread out towns, although every town has an arena.

So, she follows Brie.

It had been a very long time since Diana had been to an Arena for the games.  She decided what the hell, she had nothing else to do.

Besides, the Priest vs colonel had her attention, although, her money was on the colonel.

Lafisual says his farewells to Lia after a nice relaxing time and heads up to a room.  After getting quickly settled he starts to meditate and rest.  He looks forward to hearing the stories about the arena as he is sure they will be more entertaining for him than actually watching it.

After Kree and his entourage have departed Justin approaches the Other Companies Leaders and converses with them about their exploits and how it came that they chose the life of as Crimson Arrows. He politely enquires about their respective units composition and if they are in need of assistance in their endeavours.

   Malog looks at Justin,..holy warrior? I heard  Kree kept a couple of you around... don't  see how that works, don't you  guys get in the way of  killin' slavers?

 he Takes a swig from his  mug,..Arrows   found me in the Karth swamp.... Them Black Timber folks  do a sweep now and then to get rid of anyone using the ruins or the swamp as a hide out... They brought me back to the Village   healed me up, asked if   I wanted to stay or if I had a place to go?

 He Looks At Reedrick who drinking from his own mug,Orcs  ain't well liked, Halforcs..no one likes, but they were gonna let me stay there.  I had no people to go back to..so i stayed..learned  the  task of being an Arrow...can't say i don't like it....

 Orila  smiles sadly,..I was an Ironwood elf.. my family is still there. I was a  rider. Guarded  caravans  and such from the forest to the  Kings  Road ..we  were hit by Catfolk i was capured... They tried to  take  up up north to some of thier clans there,..The One NAmed Ivyian, saved me..he had a small band of Arrows and they harrassed the CAt folks for two days, until he forced them into a trap they  releases us, and gave us weapons, That's how i got this...a claw wound... she pints  to her eye.

 ..My people would not let me return, thinging the mark  meant i was  tainted by the catfolk..Ivy , himself spoke for me....he offered me a spot  in his  unit,  Until it was deemed he travel with his cousin..so I took his unti over...my people...let us have a small parcel of land ay the edge of the  forest..That serves  as our  stronghold.

 Carn shakes his head at the Two....I won my postion..i challenegd the fool who  lead my unit of   Arrows. he was weak...he was fool hardy..we lost many peopel ebcause of him....

 Malog snorts,..ain't the story others  Tell....

 ..Your  Leader was said to have cut yuu loose, because you refused to follow orders, and you and your  henchmen killed him in his sleep....

 ..That cannot be proven....

 Reedrick speaks up, his  voice not the jolly grump he normally seems....you best hope it never is.... Your  unit's production is down....

   He leans  close to the table,..because..Dwarf!... we keep the scum away!...

  Slamming his  mug on the  Table , the clay shatters, ale everywhere, People around the in look,  It is easy to see who are Arrows  because they go for their weapons...normal Ironmond  folk just look up in surprise...I'll not  be talked to  in that Manner  but a Gutless wonder who's afraid to go to blades with someone who can fight back.... There are raiders, slavers, and  Pirates operating out of your area... and we barely get a cooper from your  Unit.... Orila's team pumps coin in , at a steady rate, and MAlog is not far behind Kree's team.... by the gods!...there is  a ship out there we can sell to the NAvy, Our ship captured when he started this mission....

 Two waitresses  had  rushed over and   began cleaning  off the table  and dabbing the parchments, a third  waitress brought over  a fancy mug ( made of  pewter ) , with a refill, for the dwarf.

 ..Kree even brought up, at a meeting , that he wondered if your group as accepting payments from  raiders and  such, so's they stay  out of yer  way, and you stay out of thiers....

 Well anytime you or that Elf Bastard wants to accuse me..by blades will be waiting...

 Malog grins,..The Elf  accuses you?.. you'er  blades  ain't gonna help you..if he don't kill you, the rest of the Arrows  will.. I may be a HAlfOrc? But i am  a Razorhawk clan  member and we won't let traitors  live....

 Orila grins, but there is no mirth in the smile.

  The Dwarf thanks the  waitresses and sits back down, frowning at the  parchments that need to dry before he does more of his work...Malog's right , ya know.... You turn coat... you'll be hunted   as hard as any slaver...

 CArn  loks at each of the others, and settles on Justin,..These..are the people you have joined....

In reply to group (msg # 229):

Justin listens to each inturn nodding thanks for their confidences. One hath been lead unto this by Eta's hand. he replies informing them how and why he came to be with the Arrows. Giving Carn a patient smile Captain if Thee no longer wish to associate with such T'wouldst be prudent to seek another endeavour; One doth council Thee to do so affor Kree returneth; ast the Priestess of The Sisters, who hath accompanied him, hath arts which be able to determine truths or designs from those she wouldst.

Ruling out Carns team as a perspective alternative, and Malog's statement about Paladins; Justin decided Orilia unit would probably be his best option to approach. When an opportunity presented itself he enquired if she would be open to the possibility of accepting his services in her unit.

Justin suspected his offer had tsken the Arrow by surprise.  He'd give her time to cosider it.

  Orilia  looks at  Justin and shakes her  head,we try to stay away from  folks who are  'too holy'...I am surpsied   Quickshadow  has  2?... but, You cannot argue with   the team's success rates.

In reply to Justin (msg # 233):

Justin gives a shrug turns and leaves the Inn. Mking his way to the Temple District.

Even in his morning state, no one has really noticed Valerius snoozing face fown thankfully not in his food but just off to the side. Just the way he is, to stay unnoticed. For some strange reason, he clutches one of his knives....
Zzz

Entering the Inn Justin greete the staff then looks about For Reedrick; who he suspects has taken a brief respite from his ongoing duties for the Arrows to have some R & R.

   The Dwarf is at his table, he's taking to one of  the waitresses.  A few  folks are coming in, those who are not  brought in by Finder,  are taking seats  as if  they are at any Normal Inn.

 It is thinner  now, pastv mid  day, at midweek, folks are  working, a lot are  at the arena.

In reply to Just (msg # 237):

Greeting Reedrick he gestures towards a empty seat May One Joineth Thee Master Reedrick. if permitted he gives the waitress a friendly smile would Master Reedrick care for a beverage he offers by way of politeness rather than any other ulterior motive. He'll then chat with the Experienced Arrow during which he'll asks about the requirements to establish another Crimson unit

  Reedrick waves of the drink with a slight smile, Pointing at the cool pitcher of  ale.

 The waitress  waits to see if   Justin  wants anything.

 The dwarf  raises  a furry eyebrow,..first.. we have ta  find a leader...and we have ta find  folks to follow him or her...once that is done, we have to find a place to base them...

In reply to Just (msg # 239):

Justin orders a meal and tankard of buttermilk. Nodding as he listens to what he's being told, thanking Reedrick. Does the Crimsons have a standard method of instructing leaders or doth such perspectives come as they are.

  Reedrick smiels a bile  as he plays  with a  piece of chicken and some sauce.We ain't the Army. we're  Mercs....just so hapens, we're  Merc who like to kill slavers? Help folks, who can't help themselves.... hard  part is, findin' the folks who are willin' ta do that.
