Re: THE WALK THE PLANK
Reedrick nods, as he dips a buttered roll into his stew and takes a bite,..ye noticed that, did ye. He came in around Mid day... with what passed for hsi crew.. they turned in something like..25 silvers?.. I could send a messenger to Pleasure St, and one of the ladies could send up twice that in an hour... this is his thrid time stoppin' in, since both your teams left.. each time he has some different folks..an' each time, not much ta show fer his efforts...even the weapons and such he brings in? we might keep one or two for the armory.. but sell the reast.. His stuff yesterday?... we sent down to the arena for a handful of coppers, cause we couldn't get much fer them..an' i wasn't gonna outfit an Arrow with them...
As he dips the roll again his eyes shift to the door,..ever' time some one comes through that door, he asks if they seen Kree and his group.... Fer My part.. I have told him anythin' other then Kree was goin' on patrol near The Timber...But i got an update from a 'mage send' fer the Totem Pole and who Kree still has with him..So?.. My Last location, is that he = was at The Village and was movin' through the Timber , North west... havn't heard a damn thin' since..
The waitress comes Over with another small Kettle of hot tea and a jar of Honey, with some sweet breads, she take the 'cooled down' tea away.
The waitress says to Reedrick,..if ya don't mind me adding a cooper or two? Me Brother is in the South Gate Guard... he says a pair of Fur Hunters came through yestereve, right before closing? he Mentioned some Mage folks from the Tou Guild ran into some trouble on the road ta the Timber?.. then these folks had some weaposn , they said were from slavers who had breeched the forest?.... they caught them near Tou.... losts of strange goings on?... Grassland Riders were all over the place, they were?.. the lads told the gate the gave it up for a bad job an' came to sell what they got.. until the wildliffe calmed down again? Sounds like some one was causing trouble..eh?
Reedrick Gives her a pat on the back,well... That gives us a good idea.... Might be him.. might not... but i hav' ta think it is.. reaching for a thin, but hardboard ,paged book.. a map of the realm with waxed ed wooded pages,he points to Razorhawk Villge, the follows up to The area of the grasslands.. east to the Timber , and west of Tou.
so?... he hasta be here somewhere.. as of them fellas seein' this..an' we know he's movin' north... but? why the 9 hells north?... 'less he's just hunting slavers and sandfolk near the River?
A woman sitting deep in the shadows, near the stairs that lead up and down. rose from her seat.. warm Milk and half a roll still sat at her table..she seemed to moved effortlessly across the floor.
The Server Girls bare arms showed Goosebumpe as she stepped back..at first her hand went to the dagger on her hip, but then slide down to the Silver Blade on her thigh.
.. i think i may be able to help answer that..
Reedrick looks at the waitress...ease Plia.. she is a friend, of sorts...
The pale skin of the woman in the Heavy cloak.. seemed to exude a bone chill.....I am Nara... my ...people... she spits the last word.....were summoned By Ivy.. we were gifted with some slavers they Had encountered, at the Grasslands Cavern MArket.. She hands a parchment to Reedrick.. this is an update of the Kills, Ivy said to get to you... they plan on going into Mok, on a ship they has taken from the slavers... there are some 8 or 10 slaves they were going to drop off near the Trace.
Reedrick Motions to the Seat tha CArn and Left.. Plia make's herself scarce.... the Bone white had reaches for the honey and a roll...
..well..thankee for that..but ye been sittin' there fer the lst 4 hours, an' dinna think ta say something...
..not with the One called...Carn..here... he has been actively seeking our my....clan...he has killed 4 in the last 10 day..yet i advised our leader, not to strike back, lest the Arrows Hunt us down. There is a Nest of... 'normal'..people like us.. in some tunnels near the Trace itself.... but he does not hunt them.... Instead he hunts The areas of Bowshot where we lair... This concerns me. Why would an Arrow, hut my clan , when we aid them the best we may?... I have ..no doubt, my clan could be wiped out by the Arrows.. but the war would be bloody...and in the end, we would lose.
The Other waitress returns from the Cellar.. she hands each of Justin's Arrows ( including Cassie) 2 Gold and 18 silvers. she hands Reedrick the accounting Book , but the frowns at Nara.
..Now..Chole? I'm thinkin ya have ta have something in the back fer Nara here.....
Chole frowned,..aye.. there is Chicken's Blood... Pigs Blood and some Beef Blood we save for the orcs and such that want ..'flavor' to their meals...
..perhaps... some Pigs blood please.. warmed..if you will...
Reedrick nods to Chole and she sets off.....so? Yer missing Valrius as well.... do ya know what happened ta him?
