 Reedrick  Looks up from the Books,well?.. Ye  enjoy yerself...  I had plenty of time to see the arena. no need ta go back to see some  scum haveta kill each other.

In reply to Brestine Darksbane (msg # 190):

Myranda grinned at her in an Men they can be that way manner. The event had extended a long day and she looked forward to getting some rest before attending the Emperor's invitation to the Arena.

In reply to Plank (msg # 192):

Justin had no wish to attend such a perverse public spectical, considered his options. When an opportunity presented itself he asked Kree and Reedick if they had any short term task they needed doing.

Aye, she said in response to Kree's comment about her attendance. Have to represent the prettier aspect of the Arrows.  Ivy can't be doing it all the time.

She winked at Kree and smiled.  Besides if I need to jump in and finish off what I started earlier, I definitely want to be there and be ready.

  The  Elf  smiles  at the waitress who brinks  a Bottle of  Elven Gold  and a Pitcher of Ale.

  Kree  pours  some for himself  and Brie , motioning with the bottle to the others...

 Reedrick waves of the Elven Gold  wine, pointing at his  own tankard of ale.

 ..Well... I will be going,  I should like to see who guts who, the priest or the colonel...but..if i do not go, it may take us a while to get paid.....sitting there  for an hour or so will not   kill me,.

Brie sees the bottle of woven wine and becomes a bit giddy.  She nudges Myranda and leans over to whisper in her ear.  I think he likes to torture me with that stuff, especially knowing that it doesnt take much to put me out for the night.

You off for the night? She asks Kree good and well knowing the answer.

  Aye..to night we  relax,  wake up have a nice  morningfest with  our  happy-go lucky Dwarven  Friend...then we go  , what some scum kill themselves,  collect our  Pay and  come back for  Reedrick to sort out the shares.

 ..By then, Reedrick should also know if  we will accept the merchant's commission .

 He  takes a  deep pull of the Elven Gold  and smiles...i would not be the nice person i am today, with out Elven Gold..

 Reedrick  just snorts and shakes his head as he sips  from his ale.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 198):

Justin looks from Kree to Reedick then rises and heads upstairs. Rising early after his devotions he arranges for his equpment to be repaired and clothes cleaned. In the week that follows he spends his time in quite repose praying at the Temple, seeking guidance, from his brother devouts and if possible the High Priest about remaining in the Crimson Arrows

Brie stands from her seat and bumps her hip gently into Kree'a and reaches for the bottle of elven wine.

Myranda, I will leave you to your own devices. I must make sure your dear cousin reaches his room safely.

She takes a swig and hands it back to him.  Shall we, Commander?

   The Elf downs  his Glass and places it on the Table...In the morning them......

 as they walks towards the Step , a rather large and scarred human tosses  Kree a Key that has  a Little wooden sailor on as a key fob.

Brie heads towards the steps and nearly bumps into Kree when they are halted by the bigger man.

Well then, she says loudly and with a bright smile.  Thank you kind sir.

She looks to Kree.  Now nothing stands in your in way...other than me.

With a wink and a mischevious grin, she grabs the key and hustles to the room to open it ahead of him.

   the is a chuckle from the Elf  as he looks over his  should   and winks at the table, they glides up the steps almost soundlessly.

  The Dwarf shakes his  head, Bloody elves...

  Kree and Brie  come down from their  room, a  cleaning woman takes  the key and heads up to straighten up.

  the smell of hot breakfast, Mingles with the smell of the river  as the  windows  were cranked open top let some fresh air in, and smoke from the night before, out.

 The Dwarf was  just setting a tray of  food  down  by his   table as he began his morning's work. Three others  stood  by the  table  eating   sausage sandwich or scooping  scrambled  eggs from a Bowl. One Human, dressed rather  well was  bitting of   bread toasted over the fire that was dripping with butter and some  jam of some type.

 Kree and Brie   approach the table, to the left of Reedrick is  a Halforc, with many scars on his back, he  wears armor on his legs, but only  leather strips on his torso... a Nasty , two handed  sword  is strapped to his back...one  part of the  blade shines  smooth and sharp, the other  side has Jagged   , saw like teeth. a Hammer  hangs from his Belt.

  An Elven female  sits in the chair, her clock hood down, long blonde hair marks her as one of the  First elves of  Ironwood. He faces  holds much beauty, even though a scar is  bright red on her pale skin, just under the left eye.

 The  Human is dressed like a fellow who duels for a Living, a  pair of thin blades , one on each him, mark him as being  versed in two handed  battles.

  The Dwarf  snorts,..here he is Now... Kree Quickshadow leads  the  a team of Arrows that are based out of Here..... Kree?...(points to  half orc) This is  Malog..he leads   the Unit that is based in Tou..... This is (pointing to  elf maid) is Orila..she leads the Arrows who  have  been granted a small stronghold  at the  very edge of Ironwood...and this ( points to the human)... is  Carn..he leads the   unit in  Trok.

 They exchange greetings   and Kree introduces Brie to them all. Orila speaks  first,so?  you rescued the Princess?... I heard  you were in Ironwood  for a Bit, why did you not  seek us out?

  I had  Sent  Brie  and another rider through the forest to try to reach the Bowshot ferry before we linked up with our ship....I was hoping you would have heard they were riding throuhg?... the other  rider broke away though, i do not know where she went....but ...at the time , trust was not  somethign we had alot of, and Ironwood is not alwasy kind to  Arrows..though, this time they did aid us.

 The Dwarf nods  and  shrugs as  he  waits to swallow some eggs, then  wipes his beard,well... Milo the Fist is missing...last news  we have was, his unit was tracking cats to Mok...assuming they were going to be headed back to the sands?... we don't know if they have all been killed and eaten...captured..or  if they are  tracking them...

 ...and? Kree said  as he ordered  eggs and  hot bread.

 Malog snorts,..and... Reedrick things  the...'great Quickshadow' and his unit can...'aid' us....in finding them

 Orila casts  a hard looks at  Malog, the HUman just gives a course snort.

 well..if we accpt that merchant's  contract..we  weill be heading that way.... but we are not leaving  until we  get the coin from the Emperor...

  in a very cultured  voice, CArn says,so the Great quickshadow  puts  coin ebfore his fellow Arrows?

 Again Orila  bristled  at this, Kree  smiled at the fellow,..my people earned hat coin, 10 times over..we lost folks earnign that coin... and tell me CArn? why is it that you are here then?..Trok, isn't that  much of  a distance to Mok?... you should have been there?..sent a runner to tell reedrick?..or even sent a runner to  the Black Timber?

 CArn looked up from his Caffee,..what are you saying, Quickshadow?

 I am saying, one should keep one's mouth shut, when one  is  too deep in fear to do a Job  that you seem  fit to  shoot your mouth off about..to your Betters....

 Carn is about to say something and Kree points to him..before you say something stupid?..keep in mind, your pretty little blades  will not  save you from mine....

 Orila  grinned at this..Malog snorted and nodded with a halfsmile.

 Dwarf  says  around  a mouth full a  grilled serpent,..elf's a bit  grumpy im the morning..best let him  drink his caffee , before you let him kill ya....

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg # 204):

Rising early as per his standard routine Justin offered morning Prayers & Devotions to Eta. As he dresses he decided to seek guidance from those at the Temple. Heading downstairs to enjoy a morning meal. Entering the common room he paused taking in the gathering, of group leaders. If introduced or acknowledged he greets the leader politely.

Brie began putting a few bits of food on her plate. She was never one to eat much of a morning, unless someone special fixed it.

She had given her own greetings to the members at the table.  She chuckled between bites of food and juice at some of the comments.

Sounds like someone is kinda scared to face the music, she said after clearing her mouth with drink.

Or should we have another showing of might?

She looks over at Kree and winks.

   There is   look cast from CArn to  Brie. Orila smiles,...it is the  way of the  Arrows. Everyone things  they are the best..is that not  right , Kree.

 ...I never  said i was the best.... Malog looks at him  as he  chews a mouthful of serpent. The   the elf  grins,..the rest of the world says it for me....

 Malog  laughs  and Pounds kre on the Back. Orila   giggles  , but  CArn's face is  red.

 Reedrick looks at CArn..Lad's  right ya know? you could  tracked them..sent  a runner here, or to the Blacktimber..hell of alot of Arrows in the Black Timber...

  CArn looked  around, Orila  raise a slender brow as she looked at him.well.... i didn't  want to split  my unit...i...

 split your  Unit..what are you? an Infantry Captain?... we don't march around in squares of column waiting  for  other folks to kill us....gods man....

 Carn  sat down and  took a drink of his  wine, not wanting to say anything further.

 ..look//it is easy enough... if you  are all in a hurry, take your  Units    out   this morning..my peolel are scattered to the winds  right now.... we are to meet here after the  games, whether they go or nay.... I will se who is  staying in the Unit  and catch up..if you aren't in that much of a hurry that a few hours  will not hurt..relax, get your people outfitted  and we can leave together..

 Malog nods,..I can wait.. my people are running about the  bazarr right now

 Orila  smiles  at Kree,indeed..my people  are at  blue lake  fishing and relaxing...nice to swim and fish when you do not get eaten by what you catch!

 CArn nods......my people are  down by the  Street of Pleasure... I can get them after the games....

see?  that weren't hard  was it...

After a much welcome nights rest Myranda emerges from her room. Rubbing the sleep from her eyes she heads for the common room for a morning meal. Looking about she notices several unfamiliar Arrows gathered around Kree. Catching the eye of a Waitress she politely asks for a bowl of gruel, hot buttermilk chees platter, bread and honey then sashays across the room. Greeting those who are gathered, catching their comment about gathering of Teams.

Diana had eventually gone back up stairs to go back to sleep.  She rested fitfully also eventually she fell into a deep sleep.

She awoke several hours later, dawn was turning into early morning.  She rose, and did her morning exorcises, something she had been lax on of late.  Not that she could have avoided it.  After all, she had been preoccupied.

After an hour of exorcises, she washed and got dressed.  Then she went downstairs.

She stopped at the bottom of the stairs, having never seen quite so many arrow leaders in one spot.  Something must be brewing.

She went to get some breakfast.

Diana bid everyone "morning.", before sitting down and pouring a glass of juice and getting some breakfast.

She turned to Brie.

"So, what's up with the gathering?" She asked, half whispering.

  As each Member of His  unit arrives, Kree introduces the   Unit  Leaders to them, and the other way around.

  ...so..Kree? You keep  your people on a short leash then? his eye looking  towards the stairs to see how many more were about.

 ..when we travel  we stay together..this   is thier  time  to relax... Ivy and   one of the Knights are at the Palace..i should think Ivy is  , at any rate..... But when time  comes to be here.. I suspect they will all be here...or they will have chosen to sit this one out.

 Orila smiles  at Ivy's  name, but  does not say anything until Kree is done,Reedrick has  said you have had  trouble with recruits...

   Kree takes  a bite  of  toast , nods  his  head  and shrugs  as he eats,..A few, we have met, seemed  like good risks... some  died some ...'had  business elsewhere'.  Just because they are given the Pin, doesn't mean they have earned it.... those who  have  entered the city with me  yestereve...have earned thiers.

Valerius emerges from his room, only now the effects of last nights festivities finally starting to wear off, but still there, as evident when he stops dead in the doorway of the room he has no memory of entering, and promptly turning around with possibly the drowsiest face anyone has seen in a long time, bumps his head and only then, presumably goes to get washed up.
 In a few more moments, he comes back out dressed in his attire, but weapons in a kind of bundle in his arms, thinking it impolite to wear weapons at the table. He makes his way with relatively few accidents or bumps as his still sleepy brain can manage.

Brie nods to Diane as she approaches.  Just discussing business and where we may head next, she said in a low tone.

Not on leashes, she said aloud to the others.  We just know where our bread is buttered.

  he walks in with Lia, noting the   different  arrows  about. The    Tender gives him a  key and tells him the  top floor  is thiers.

  Lia  looked ....I know the elfmaid, By her Scar.... and   most certain there are not  too many HAlforc   captains.... That Human though?.. I do not know him....

Justin wasn't surprised by the mix of races who form the Arrow's considering those in Kree's group included a Drow assassin, a Elf Human and Elf Catfolk and a Fairy Thief. With the gathering of these Captains Justin started to wonder about the balance and structure of this Hotchpotch Company as a whole. He's previous offer to Kree and Reedick was pointless, giving a shrug he cut short his train thought, they'd probably heard or thought of anything he may suggest, especially since the two of them had been around for far more years than humans could live. Thanking the Waitress for the meal Justin sat at an adjacent table enjoyed it as he listening to the exchange between the Leaders.

Do you know a lot of the arrows?  Obviously you have more than heard of us, and probably know more about them than do I.   A bit of a yawn catches him off guard as Lafisual finishes his comment toward Lia but he tries to minimize it.  With a key in hand he senses the opportunity to shut down for awhile close at hand.

 .they started  out as a Merc Company out of the Black Timber... they are noted  for going off  mission  to kill slavers and such...most of the Black Timber is now Populated  by rescued slavers that have lost everything...and a good many of them train and join the Arrows.

  They bought  the Plank of an old   man who was ill, and turned it into  their   base...of sorts... They are one of the  3, most feared Companies in the realms.... and the other  two are Evil?...so...

 ..They have expanded ever  since, i think they try to have , at elast, one unit in every town.
