The  elf  nods  as they close in on the Town, the  darkness growing  as  the sun is  swallowed  by the  Black Timber,..I will mention it..indeed. I must assume  though, that the Riders  came  by this station..unless they  rode directly  through the  hill and grasses to save time...but..they met us on the road...it is hard to tell...That Young offiver  was not known to me..so i know little of his tactics...but  we will..indeed, mention it..perhaps  they will alert the Ferry Master so they might be put on alert..

  as he  says this  he looks Northward. the ferry is  lit up as well, some two miles  away, but  a bright spot int eh growing darkness.

  reaching  the Gates, the guards  eyes them  with  professional interest. When Kree steps into the  brighter lights  by the gates, he reaches into his tunic  for his cpoy of the charter, the  Guards  shakes his  head,  Enter Good elf, we know your  ensignia...

  The  elf nods,   Rider spoke   of  pirates  on this  side of  the river, some way  to the  west of the ferry?"

  The guiards look at each other  the leader shrugs,   no riders came here..they must have moved strightaway to the City...Have  a good  evenng in Bowshot....


  Wth a  wave of his hand to the others, Kree moves  through the gates,  Thionk on what you might need to fight the Cat folk..this  is the last town, we will be in, unless we travel  further southward and  follow the Tou River..to the Town of  Tou...

Perchance securing somethings which employ scent to aid tracking, What thinkest Thee a guard ferret/dog or three. Mayhap such acquisitions be of aid during each nightwatch.

[We goud look at getting a dogs to help track the Kitties. They could also help during the night watch]

 Looking  towards  the south of  the  town he  points,  The Market place is there...I am not  sure what the chances  of such  creatures  could be had, but one never knows what the latest Caravan  brings in...if you wouldlike  , we can take alook before trying to find a room, there is only  a Few Inns in this town.

"I know of nothing else I need to hunt catfolk.  A dog or two might be of aid, if they are trained well."  Rolf leaves it unsaid that he would have doubts as to the training of any dog he did not train himself.

[apologies all have been forgetting to include my translations]

Aye such be worth noubt lest yon be adept at such...
[True, Trained dogs would be worth having
pausing he cocks his head towards Rolf Goodfellow Liefsen be Thee adept at such an endeavour ast training such
[Rolf can you train dogs]

Rolf looks at Justin for a long moment, puzzling out the mans words though he puts a stoic face on it.  "When I'm of a mind, though it takes a fair bit of time to do the job right."

What say Thee, be such worth Thy effort, alternately there be such ast are trained [So do you think it would be worth the cost and effort, Alternately we may find some trained tracker/guard dogs]

Rolf shrugs, "I could spend three moons or more at it, and what with care and feeding...  No, given what I know now, I'd say it's not worth taking the time.  I'm a fair tracker, hopefully I can ferret out where the bastards are hiding."  It's unclear if bastard is a reference to pirates, or to catfolk.

Aye t'woud appear so, best keep to peremiter cord, and beast traps then

 Looking at the lamp  Lighters  within the palasides, Kre figures  they have a bit of time before needing to find  an Inn.  They make thier  way to  the MArket place, that is...indeed...busy considering  the time of  night...very few of  the towns  close thier markets  at  night..with travelers  and such coming in, there is always  coin to be made....

Justin looks over the mismatch of stalls, plying their wears and criers vying for patronage. Looking for the cord, bear/man traps  trained or trainable trackers/guard dogs or the equivalent.

If found How much for these he asks the stallholder holding up a trap that is in good repair and working order

  well now...that's  a fine  piece. was sold  by a fella  whop lost an arm to one of the  serpants by the river as he was trpping swamp rats...I have two left..sell them both to you for a gold...

In reply to merchant (msg #85):

He eaminse each in turn checking for obvious signs of rust and fatigue Tis unfortunate Reedrick be elsewhere. Goodfellow Rolf or Kree hath either Thee knowledge of traps
[Pitty Redrick isn't here. Rolf or Kree do you know anything about traps]
he asks trying the mechanisms

"Be yon capable of stopping a horse in mid gallop" [Can these stop a galloping horse] he asks the merchant

  Kree looks over the  traps, he shrugs  abit,..I have seen better...course...i have seen worse...

    Stoppin a horse....I don't  think so...these here be best for  something about the size of a big dog...



OOC:  You don't have to translate...it  will be more fun in RP  for the  guys  to have to understand him, as the characters would.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg #87):

A big dog Thee say... wouldst such be tweenst 110-200 lb range Elst hath Thee any for a Bear

  the  fellow  looks  about, he  signals  a lad to dig through  some boxes...about  5 minutes worth of searching  turns up a Rabbit  trap.

In reply to merchant (msg #89):

Goodfellow Kree wouldst yon Kitties be the size of a big dog he quietly asks if they are he'll haggle for the traps, and 500' of cord for 1g else he'll tell the merchant he was looking for something stronger and continue to search the market for 10 minutes.

  Kree titls his head, Depends what race they are...the Lions, Tigars , Leopards..Jaguara, Panters..they are  mostly bigger the we...the Lynx,Fishers, cougars, cheethas..are about the size of  a small dwarf, or tall halfling.

As they discuss the trap Justin hoped the merchant didn't overhear their conversation Tis as One surmised, we beith in need of something more powerful he comments before turning back and moving closer to the stall Good merchant would Thee able to obtain a 3-5 bear traps by first light on the morrow If so what price are thee asking or Doth Thee know of any who be able to provideth such

  the fellow frowned, he loonged about the  the markey from where he stood  I do not  see any  of the other folk, such as me that sell here  from tine to time...You might  try the  Dry Goods  shop..they carry  almost anything, since they take trade as well as  coin...so..you want  any of these?  or  Nay?

Merik walks with the others keeping an eye on the passerby's. Not knowing about traps, he listens to the others converse and takes special notes of the sizes of the Cat folk. "Where is the dry good store?" He asks the merchant when he suggests looking there. "Need to keep the food stores up and maybe get a pot, tea and honey."

  Kree points  to the Nortyh of the town,  It is  towards the  Northwest corner of the town, we needs go in that direction anyway, unless you folks  feel the need for higher priced places to stay?

  The  Merchant frowns as he feels he has missed a sale. Merik does notice, a female  dressed in leathers, seeming to be taken a bit of interest in them. When he looks  to the others  as they speak of the  cats, she has vanished.

Not sure of what he saw, He takes off light a shot, straight to where she was. Over his shoulder as he runs he says in a hushed tone, "I'll be back."

In reply to merchnat (msg #93):

Nay One's appologies goodfellow ast yon are not powerful enough for our purpose he informs the merchant. Turning he quickly follows Merik. When he has a chance One doth suggest Thee avoid going off by Thyself, goodfellow Merik, ast we are sure to move elsewhere."
