Rayna crossed her arms and stared at the man. "Not much honor involved in those qualities." She then grinned. "Not much to keep my people from plucking at you, as far as my magic and my paths, They are my own to think over." She mused at him.

   Dras enters the Gate first followed by the rest. Clerics and healers rush to check the   freed slavers... The Elders  came to see what wasbeing brought in.

  Ivy made the Leader and the two slavers drop down to their  knees.. Kree and  Garme  are the last to enter..the Gates close.

"Then I shall have to trust to my lady's wisdom in such matters. Surely not all among you would kill one in armor simply to say they did?"

Mmmmm.

"Well, that aside, have you a place to stay? As a member of the faith, I can stay here as the priests do, but the inn may serve you."

"There would be no honor in simply killing you because of your armor. You would have to provoke my people into fighting, and if you were the only one is such armor, then you would be dead. But not without a fight of course. My people are what most would say as barbarian to most 'civilized' cultures. So your honor is much different then ours." She took in a deep breath with another smile then continued to answer him. "I have been in this village for a day before you arrived, so I stay at the Inn." Rayna then turned as the group entered the village. "It looks like my escort has just arrived."

"That is well, for I am not one to provoke people without cause. The Code we follow is fairly strict. And if your honor is different, I would like to take the time to learn how it works, when time for such permits."

Hmmm. Upon looking out the front doors.

"So it seems. Let us go to meet them, for I have not yet done so."

Once inside the gate, only a half step are so behind Drasius, Rolf steps to the side and lets the rest pass.  He's had enough of marching with live slavers at his back.  Worse if they'd been catfolk of course, but bad enough anyway.

He watches the others troop in, keeping a careful eye on the captives.

  One of the Young Sages  who care for the totem, runs Up to Ivy, who pointsto Kree. The  Lad moves to  Kree and takes a slate from the  pocket of his robes. Kree speaks to him and watches  as the  boy writes on the slate....

  Krell and The Captain of the Watch , come down from the path that leads to Krell's Home.His Voice  is stern, yet there  seems to be   some Pleasure in it,..Who causes  all this Noise at this hour!

 Nara Calls out to the Team..MAke YOu Report, so the Village may go back to thier beds!

  Ivy smiles  as He says aloud in a playful tone,..and Perhaps?  I may Join you?

  The  Elfmaid tries to look unphased, but there is a twinkle in her  eye,..Ivyain? What Maid here would  wish you to follow her  to her bed?

 There are several cheers from the  growing  Crowd and she shakes her head...Kree? Your  report ...please...

  Kree pats ther sage on the shoulderand the LAd  runs straightaway, towards the totem, two more sages  join him as the move the ladder to the totem...If  My count is right  we have slain 14 slavers...these three surrendered..the  ugliest one os the leader...I brought him back to be quested..Either by you...  then he points to Dras,..or by Dras....

  Krell steps up and Looks at the Leader....what is you name, creatures?

    I am Lerves....I am from the  Iron Blood Company from Harte....

 Uncle? He is  one of the Unit leaders, who lead the Great RAid....

 Krell looks to Ivy, then  to Kree..both nod to him..Looked the  Halfogre in the eye , even though the creature is on his Knees, he  is still head level with Krell,..Then Lerves....You will be asked alot of questions...first of all...where you the group that took my daughter?

 Lerves Looks Up and chuckles,no..but  i wish  my group did...I hear she loves to pleasure them before they go to bed..she really Likes the orcs i think..she...  There is hardly a sound as Kree takes three quick steps to the  Halfogreand Backhands the thing across the mouth the HAlf Ogre nearly falls sideways  but manages to Keep from falling Over...NAra  and a Human Guard  Grab Kree and Pull him back.....Easy,  Death Elf..he will spread no more lies....

 The Hate for  Kree shows in the HAlf-ogre's eyes  as the Blood drips down from a split lip...his other wound have left him weaker then he should be,,,what makes you think they are lies?

  Struggling to Hold Kree, with the Guard, NAra  says,..she was the Watch Captain before  me....her name is  well on the  totum's list....

  Krell frowned,ENOUGH!...Kree..YOu and  Dras have earned this ...I  and NAra  will come with yuou to the  Post of Questions...  he looks at Lerves and says...there? you will answer questions   as Dras and Kree ask them....it will be your choice..answer truthfully and Live....answer falsely..then we will have to ask..more harshly.... or...Dras will make certain you answer  every thing we ask...though...when the Drowess is finished..you will be dead...or..wish you were...

  ..These two? take them to the Blackspit  and have slave collars put on...They will slave for us..until we deiede to question them...

 Well done Arrows....Kree Ivy, Dras...Take your peopleto the Inn for  eat and Drink, while the HAlf Ogre is made ready...I will see you at  nthe Post of Questions in one hour...

 as  4 guards  Grab the Halfogre he turns to Kree,..I won't answer anything for you....

  Kree chuckles   a cold  Chuckle,oh..aye..you will....and if i fail to make you talk..Dras will make certain that you do.....

Dras Calls to the nearest children after the front gate closes and tossed each of them a coin with a smile. "Give them to your parents." she said to them as she fallowed Kree and the other. As she waited for them to finish talking to the prisoner she grins taking her place beside the Half ogre, placing her hand on his worst looking burn and gripped hard. "And I am more blood thirsty then Lord Kree."

Durzak tells the rest of the party he will meet then at the inn for the eat and drinks, he is dropping off his gear and clean up before heading to the inn.

In reply to Village (msg # 87):

As the others set off Justin stretches to loosen some of the tightness of his muscles. Taking a deep breath and savouring the morning light on his face. Turning he heads to the temple of Eta to give thanks.  Entering the temple he deposits a number of coins in the collection box, moves quietly to a pew and undertakes prayers of thanks.

Luthien, at this point, has become more then a little curious.

He looks out of the Temple of Tra, and sees quite the commotion outside.

"Quite the gathering out here."

  The Half Ogre is hauled off  after he grimeaces  abit as Dras's 'loving touch ' on one of his burns.

   The Yonng  Sage  Call Kree over to the totem so he can see the work being done. Two elfmaids  come hustling over  shly , each offers him a  Mug of  wine  He takes them both with a bow  of thanks, then hands one tgo Dras. The Girls  take off giggling.

  Ivy comes over  and asks,..hey? where's mine?

dras grins as she takes the cup and puts it close to her lips. "They went that way." she laugh pushing out her mug towards the maids before taking a drink.

Rayna looks back to Luthien. "Yes, They are the most prized group of this village. some say that they are half gods because they never come home a man short and with even more people to fill the village." She starts off towards Kree and Dras near the totem. "I sense no god-likeness in them."

Upon reaching Kree and dras she bows to them. "Hello good sir elf, my name is Rayna. I have come to this village for an escort to Ironmound." She paused and looked at the two. "I was told to seek you out for the job by your elders, so here I am."

Luthien sees the group of Arrows...including the Drow.

And...concentrates for a moment.

   Kree  is  chuckling as  Ivy frowns and Dras grins.The Voice  has he and Ivy turn,well met, Good LAdy...Unless we have no pressing business.. I am sure my friends would not mind a trip to Ironmound, it has been awhile , scime  we saw a dwarven friend there...

  Ivy looks the woman over, a slight  smile Creeps to his  face..he feels a Tug on his claok and turns..and sees no one, Unlit he looks  down and see a 5 year ould human girl there...she has both arms wrapped  around  a claymug of wine... Ivy smiles  as he crouches down and take the  mug, he smiles at the girl,well..at least some one knows  how to treat a hero in this town!

 He gives her  a Kiss on top the ehad  and she points towards the Inn..standing there are two women who Brought the   mugs out to Kree and Dras..the laugh and enter the  Inn.. Ivy grins,..I should walk this little one back tot he Inn....

 Kree shakes his   head, Be on yhour way...the questioning might go on well into the  afternoon...

  Ivy waves to his  friends, and  Bows  slightly to Rayna with a wink..he ehads off with the little girl who takes his hand  skipping with a smile..

  Turning to  Rayna again,Kree says...we have to....talk..to the slaver.... I would  guess you are staying in the Village?..we will see you off  and on...once our task is completed, we can see about escorting you...

  One of the freed slaves.. a boy about  16 or so. still carries a shortsword and dagger he took from the spoils  of the slavers...the other weapons thjat were  unclaimed are being taken to the blacksmith to have checked  and added to the Village arsenal. ..Sir..Quickshadow..My famiies fasrm was destroyed...who might  i see about living here?

   go to the Commander of the watch..he will take your name, and set you up for a place to live for now, your tasks  will be to help the village while you undergo training, then..if you wish..you can Join the ranks of the Hunters...  the Boy smiles and nods, heading towards the main gate to get signed up.

Rolf is pleased when Kree and Drasius finally head off with the captive.  He didn't care much for the fate of the slaver and talking about how they were to treat him might be an effective tactic to soften him up, but Rolf perfered action over words and had grown a bit weary at the unveiled threats that were voiced.

Rolf opts to head over to the tavern, thinking a good, hot meal and a mug of ale would go down right proper.  Hitching up his backpack and resettling the scabbard across his back, he puts action to thought and heads that way.

Luthien, for his part, steps forward now. With his shining full plate, and various edged weapons. and Tra's holy symbol...he approaches.

"I wish to speak to you about your operations here. I could be of help to you, if we can work within the Code."

That to Kree, as he seems to be leading the group. He sensed what was going on...and it's essentially what Father Bragn said. People trying to do what they thought necessary, but going too far now and then.

Rayna glanced at Ivy, taken back by his presence and stared at him some what emotionless as he heads towards the Inn. Her attention turns back towards Kree and Dras with a bow after Kree speaks. "Then I shall wait for your return and personally request an audience as soon as your group come together." She bows again to them before looking back towards Luthien then heads for the Inn herself.

Having settle his gear and cleaning up a bit, Durzak heads to the inn when he remembers that he hadn't stop at the temple of Eta and Neta to pray and thank the goddess. Durzak heads over to each of the temples and offers some coins at the collection box and offer a pray of thanks to each of the goddess. After Durzak has finish with each of the temples he heads over to the inn and get him something to eat and drink.

Dras looked the woman over. Nothing more then a common run of the mill wizard. She thought to herself. Only giving a light bow back to the woman before she left. Her attention moved to Luthien and listened to him, rolling her eyes as he spoke. Something about him made her skin crawl and she didn't like it. "Kree love, we must go. I must have a chance to make the prisoner talk." She tried not to sound irritated but it was very hard at the moment.

In reply to Durzak Glorgrim (msg # 100):

After finishing his devotions and thanks giving’s Justin seeks out a priest intending to see the items from the evil assassin are destroyed appropriately. He notes Durzak enter to pray, nodding at the arrow appreciatively, motioning for Durzak to wait for him, after he'd given thanks.

In reply to Justin (msg # 102):

When Durzak see Justin at the temple of Eta and see that Justin want him to wait for a moment after he offer a prayer, he wait for Justin.

In reply to Durzak Glorgrim (msg # 103):

Joining Durzak, he smiles again Well done comrade Dwarf   indicating his prayers Shallst we to the tavern anst toast our endeavours, enjoy a fine repast and list unto a merry tune.

  Kree bowed to Rayna,we shall see you then..I am not hard to find....

  Turning to Luthian . Kree  finishes his mug  in one Gulp and  places the Mug on one of the  stone benches  by the totem, Kree's smile  is wide as he appears  to be trying not to laugh,..we can always use  help...but the code  we live by is that of  The Arrows. Those gods  who do not find fault with than, recieve our  prayers..and our following...The god that you follow..smiles on most Hunters...
