Re: Razorhawk Village, home of The Arrows
after the Fire grew higher to warm the square, The BArds call upo Kree, to tell the tale of the .
Carr, the Mute boy who had blessed the Mage warrior in a 'race' sat next to Inda as she chatted , he tried to make sings and point to thing, they seemed to be getting along well.
Kree began as the bard strummed in the backround, telling the tale of the trip to Mok to find the missing Arrows. The takign of the ship, that now is an 'Arrow ship" on the Lather River... an d the tale of how they turned the merchants around as they entered the City to seek news.
The tale of Taking INad away from the Beggar's guild, and her part in helping them find the place, and Inclu7ded the one armed Drow who sta Next to Ivy at the table...
The Story told of the Tall DArk People who seemed to sacrifice othes to ..whatever gods , they followed...perhaps Demons? as they had to fight some minor Imp -types... and the story of the small hairy dark ones that ate other people..the tale of finding one Arrow, Just to find him dead a bit later... and the others who Joined the Unit.. he pointed out Stardancer, Niphre, Khorvar.. and the strange , bird riding elf, that ..either flwew away, or was brought down by the city guards..
he told the tale of the beating of the creatures in the Caves and the part Orlin and Luthien players with thier attacks... the attack on the Crater that , bith got the Salves away, and allowed some of the smaller dark folks, who did not seem as evil as the others a chance to escape...The death of the Tall ones and the strange leader.. gave the crowd some cheering Moments...
one of the Elf Maids handed up a mug of wine to Kree and smiled ay him invitingly as she went off. He drank a good have of it down..
I wanted to set the Beggars guild to rights... so we entered the sewers while Brie d took the freed slaves to the ships.. As The Sisters would have it, there was a branch that lead to the Merchant Lord's quarter.... a chamce to strike at those who sue thie r coin to cause suffering among the realms...... so we went..bent of , perhaps killing a few.. burning some Goods.. but...as always, Netta..or perhaps? Etta caused a foolish meeting , in the middle of the street with a patrol... the battles started as we started fires.. we killed a few of the troops as the dry city began to burn.... we could not escape the way we came, so we went out a Sally port... and there?.. was The Sister's goal... The Mok Demon ship sitting in its quay.. all its dry and tarred rigging, sails reefed like bark we use to start the slow fires... we used Pitch from the city... bottles of Oil from our packs... and sent Arrows into the sailors who tried to stop the fires... when we reached our ships.. the ship was burning like a demon in the deepest of the hells.. and the Merchant Lord's quarter was blazing.. the very walls they had sued to separate themselevs from the rest of the city.. was now thier oven.....
from there we sailed home. on the ships that are now allied to the Arrows... soon they will find the other ship.. and a set of four ships can ply the lather river in service of the Timber..
Krell spoke up after people clapped and whistled.....So , My son, how does this aid the Timber..this sounds more like you have aided Irounmound?
there were some grumbled.
ahh!..Father..t his is why Ivy and I can move through the realms , as we do..we are not shckled by the boles of the Balck Timber, nor the walls of the City..... with Mok hurting..perhaps even on the verge of a civil war...we have but to set up a small Village..Much like Bow shot near the River.. protected By the Timber at its back.. we will be able to send Goods down river... unload near the trace Wood... trade witht eh plains elevs who libe in their caves..... the 4 ships can transfer , many goods.. and all the way to the sea?..they can also serve as warships.. and take prizes of slavers vessels and add to the fleet, or even sell them to the Empire for big profit ..but our goods can travel now? to Trok, through the trace wood?... and then to Ironmound, with out having to deal with Tou, unless we wish....
One of the Elders asked,..Young Quickshadow?.. this could take eyars , even to get started?
Kree shook his head no,..we saw the sential laying in the grass as we came... that would be more then enough for a .Bowshot" type wall that went from the shore to carev out a half circle, Back to the Timber... the Timber itself could serve as it s rear wall..... we have people here, as does Timber Home, who know they way of arming and merchant lives....And.. the CAptain of the three ships is waiting... I told him to wait at least 4 days?.. But.. all it would take is some warriros, merchants to take goods to them now. hammer out prices and such, and that would be the Beginning.. Once the walls are set.. a dock or two..they the houses.. and the shops.. small patches fo crops outside the walls....there would be danger?.. Catfolk, slavers... sandfolk..orcs? but int he end, we would have our people there...and once the city is setted in , river stones can be used to add to the walls of the Town..for now?.. it would be merely a merchant's docks.. with building in which they live..but..once there is a schedule of the ships, for when they will trying for more Goods, and bring us goods as well? it could be a place people come to as they travel..and Inn or two would be needed for travelers and ships crews...and , our first shipments out could be done with in 4 days....4 days to start the first shipments..and whiel teh ships are gone, the wallas are build, and word send down to Timber Home to join in the building, and the selling...
people were gettign excited, no more having to deal with Tou..who treated elevs worse then goblins!
..why is 4 days, so important to you...'Captain"...
Kree down the rest of His wine, and held up his hands,..because we will be going to the trace wood..to put the final chapter in this story, as we find the dark arrow, who sent his comrades to die in the lands of the sand...we will sail down with teh ships as they start thier first every merchant run as Arrow Vessels..and None will be the wiser, Until we enter the trace, and Hunt the traitor down
granted, the crowd was well fed and well oiled..but.. the vengeance of fallen Arrows was an important thing..but a traitor to the Arrows.. the vengeance is deeper and dark then any that could come to be.
The High Elder stood,..it will be done!..on the Morrow, the Elder wil ride to see this Dwarf Captain... while we visit with him, merchants will perpare 3 ship loads of goods,, and we will tell teh wardens , not to sel off anymore of the fallen sentinel.. for she wail, once again, guard our people as a wall... We will have the wardens send word to Timber Home, this very night!
and the Music starte dup again, Krell did not look to pleased, it was even worse when people clasped arms with Kree and Maids gave him hugs.
the rest of teh Arrows were shwo3erd with drinks and Goodies, while the townsfolks aske them to tell a few stores of thier own.
