After Durzak offer a pray of thanks to both Eta and Neta and offer a prayer at Eta for Duran he heads to inn for something to eat. When he gets to the inn and see Kree sit at the table he heads over to the table and sit downs across from Kree.

Well Met, My friends. We have stome  stew , bread  andn Fruit coming this way in  a bit.I took the Liberty to order, since we...as a group..have not had a decent meal sicne we set out.

 Lucy will pay a visit to the temple, but she's clearly not the religious type. She mimics behaviour, hoping to not commit a faux-pas...

 She wonders if elves, humans and mixed-blood have the same rights and status around here, but dares not ask, for she fears the question might not be well received.

 After a moment, she heads to the tavern and asks for a drinks, something light and sweet if possible. If there's any gambling going on, she will gladly join in. She knows that women are usually frowned upon in those circles, something that has always amused her actually... and that was part of the game to her.

  as she comes in, it is getting on to night fall...she sees Kree and two of her..short time..comrades at the Table. It is   still a bit early for any one to break out  dice or cards, as the famrers and  gatherers have yet to come out  for some respite.

  If Kree Catches her  eye, he will motion an ivite to the tbale, but  will not overly pursue that, if she feels the need to be alone.

 The young half-elf is more than happy to join.

 She sips from her cup and asks ingenuously :
  "So what do you... Arrows... do when you're not killing Catfolks ? Or other ruffians ?"

 She would also take on of the feline-craft dagger and display it, asking around :
  "Do you folks use these ? I wonder how efficient they are... I'm sure you can make good use of it in a grapple... but other than that ?"

 Surprisingly, the teenager seems to know her lot about knives...

 As she takes her seat , two server  girls come from the kitchen area  with  two loaves of hot bread and a crock of butter, as well as  a large Bowl of  fruits and berries  cut up   and mixed about. Netx to that is  some cream like topping  and a bowl of sugar.

  behind them the Cook carries two pots of  hot stew, setting them on the table, one of the girls comes back, Ivy had just made his way into the Inn as well...He smiles at the  server girl who brought the  Bowles  for the stew, ..What is for desert  Malai?

  The darkhaired server gill winks,..when  we be locking the doors, come ask me... at that point most would notice thearrow pin , at the end of a gold  necklace.

  We do  what most folk do...rest, relax, find  sport of  some sort ot  another...we do not stay...unbusy..very long.  he leans back  and takes a sip of his  wine , waiting for the others to serve themsleves  first, he did , hower grab a pair  of strawberries  from the  bowl to snack as he waits.

  Ivy Loooked at the Cat Dagger, Nasty thing, those. But in close...tis good  for a bit of extra  ripping and tearing, not  much good for a slient kill though...they do not...slide..as freely..

Well met to you also Kree and thanks for order the food. When the two servant girls bring the food out, Durzak asks for some ale to bring for him to drink.

After completing his devotions Justin heads for the inn. On entry he scans the area noting where the group had gathered. Crossing the room he exchanged warm greetings with the serving women, who he'd previously been introduced, then takes an empty seat. Good fellow Kree One trusts Thy questioning be successful. He enquired hoping it utilised the more refined methods by employing enchantments and such for this process

  The elders  are not  as good  with a Blade, as Ivy or myself...the Panther suffered more then was  neccessary..but  we found out there is  a pack moving along the edge of the desert..they strike  and either  make thier  way across the sands, or  slip into the Trees  of the North end of the Black Timber...For that? I did not believe the creature..if that was true, there would  be a lot of dead cat folk..for my part, I think they head into the sands, or make thier way across the  Grasslands towards the  south and east. That would  make more sense, since they could meet up  with  slaver ships, get supplies, and sell thier spoils.

Rolf moves over to Kree.  "What has become of our gelded cat?  If you're done interrogating it, I'm ready to put it down."

  The   elf  looks at Rolf for a moment, and  put a hand on his shoulder,I am sorry, My friend..but ...as  i said..the  Elders  are not   as skilled in the ways of the Blade, as Ivy and I...when to cut too deep..the bleeding tends to  go much faster...they  had a few more  questions to ask of it...but it failed...right now? It is being  cut  up for food  for the Dogs, so they might get the taste, for Cat folk.

  He  Dished  out a small bowl of  stew  for himself, as  well as  a buttered  piece of bread.What remains now? Is for us to deciede on a path...When those of  us, who were  here started out. We  were going to see if  we might fins  the duaghter of  an Ironmound Merchant...seemed that slavers  had taken her...we were sidetracked  by deaths  of a few of  our unit, and the capture of the  Gremblin bodies. The Sages , with the  Mages  are trying to Contact Reedrcik, to see if that Bounty still stands.....I am waiting  for a runner to let us know....We  could try and hunt down the rest of this  pack, but i am sure they are being more careful, and we  may waste time on a hunt, we cannot win, with out more  knowledge...

 Sitting  back to begin to eat his stew he adds,we could make a run through the  swamps and go to Olant...there is a good beg we  may collect some  Goblin ears on the way, and find  some pirates or bandits  in Olant...however Olant is an open town, so we cannot  just kill them out right...unless...they are outside the  walls...however..Law is not  Olant's  strong point, so a fight in the streets or bars , that leads to death, can be covered  by some silver.

  and?...we  could always go back to Ironmound, and see what the Bounty  Board has..I am open to the  thoughts of my comrades  here?

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg #61):

Justin ponders the alternatives One doth purport the commission, involving the daughter of an Ironmound Merchant, if such be uncompleted it be a suitable endeavour to undertake.

  Kree nods his head   as he swallows   his  first bite,Agreedm Good Justin..that is providing  they have not  found  her..or perhaps..found what is left of her...that is one of the things we wait on for the night...we  will gather our information and sort out  what  we  wish to do.

  Speaking of..Good  Lucy? Have yoou thought on the the prospect of being a Crimson Arrow? YUou need not  join..you may even travel wityh us, but your name will not be on the charter, and thus, will not have  the protection of a Company Name, should we  run afoul of the law....or what passes for law, depending where  we are...

Darius steps into the Inn dressed down to a more comfortable, belly-dancer type of outfits, colored with dark purples and reds. Her green eyes scanned the room for a brief moment before she made her way towards the table. She was still limping slightly from her grazed wound as if her leg had become infected tho her pale grey skin had a faint scar where the wound once was. She smiles to Kree as she laid down on a pile of pillows she had the servants lay out for her beside the table earlier. When she wasn't on the hunt, she wanted to feel like royalty. she made herself comfortable then ordered a light drink from the bar.

..Ahh..Dras? Seems like you are feeling a bit better..aye?

 Ivy nods,...looks better  too!  hw winced  as  Kree elbowed his cousin.

 we were discussing   some of out choices in  missions, thus far we have no word from the Elders ...

Rolf gives Kree a nod.  If one was going to torture the cats for information, one was going to kill one now and again.  For his part, Rolf wasn't a fan of tortue, not even of the catfolk.  He preferred a clean kill.

As Kree speaks up as to their next step, Rolf speaks up.  "Seems to me, there's still quite a problem with the ferrel bastards.  We should see if we can't put a few more bands down.

 Aye  , Rolf. But  if  we do not have a solid handle on where they are , I would rather  take  up a m ission that we might  do some good ..at least..until  we  hear word of them again..The damnable Cats are hunting the Furman's Chain too...all those  smaller towns..it is no surprise that Olant is  at the base of the chain, and thier  easiest port on the river..elsewise they have to  use the  Merchant's road  and try to make it to the Wayhouses before night fall..still..we should know shortly..if  we have  any real chance  at  tracking the bastards.

  He turns his head to  Dras,..You going to be going out with us  again?

  Ivy  Chuckles,..I think she  just  wants to earn some  copin Dancing....

  As the bantered at the Table, three  people walk in. A Tall huamn woman dressed in leathers, a samller  man with a bow on his back and wearing buckskins..and  a stocky man with a  doublebladed  Battle  axe in his hand,  and  wearing  chain mail, all three looked  dirty  and  battered.

She shrugged a little at Kree's question and was about to reply when Ivy's comment made it to her ears. She looked at him with daggers in her eyes. It wasn't the first time he had said something about her attire. yet it would had been the first time she would strike at him in anger outside of the sparing ring.

She didn't pay the newcomers any mind, since it was occupied on different moves she would use to discipline the elf. "I'd watch that tongue Elf...Elsewise you'd wish me to wear it as a necklace and your skin as my clothing."

 Ivy  Chuckles,..Good  Dras? are you forgetting, I am the one who loosed you from your bonds  when  while Kree lead the archers against those  who held you and the other?....Am i to be worried that one who was captured by slavers..could best an Arrow?

 Lucy gave the elf leader a nod, and quietly explained her position :
  "I'm a free spirit if there ever was one -which does not mean I'm not reliable.
   If you would consider my offer, I'd like to join you as a freelancer.
   I cannot commit as of now for a long period -even a short one.
   But it would be a pleasure and my honour to give it a try...and perhaps find a purpose in life..."

   With barely twenty years spent on this earth, it was clear the half-elf was a little young to have seriously found her way... but she was cautious when giving her word and making commitments.
   She was clearly eager to know more.

Her eyes flared at the elves last words and growled. "You know how I was caught, I have told you countless times, And you probably was out watching the incident While they grabbed me. then waited the few days before the great rescue." Her words built with anger and raised in volume as she spoke, slowly rising from her laying position towards the table and seemed to be ready to jump over it for an attack. But she glanced over to Kree and calmed completely down. "As far as I seen and still see it, you only did the stealthy rescue while Kree did the killing." She pauses a bit then smiles as she sits back. "I would bet 20 gold that you don't do any fighting in order to save your pretty looks."

Rolf's disapproving eyes rove over the others as their petty little squabbles seem to be ranging all over the place, yet not answering Kree's question.  "It appears that no one else is ready to stake their claim.  Perhaps it's time to go find the cats...  But if you're set on going to the Furman's Chain and you can give me your word as an Arrow that there will be cats aplenty to be put down, then I'll follow you."

Durzak sits quietly at the table during the discussion, while eating his food and drinking his ale. "I agree with Rolf about the Furman's Chain, unless there is information from the cat."

   With a slight  smile to Lucy, he reaces inside his tunic  and pulls out a small box, He opens it  and takes  out  a Tiny Arrow pin, made of ruby,..Take this then.. I will put yhour name on the charter, so you might have the Porctection, of being an arrow. Make certain the pin can be seen...it  is both a boon, and a curse..but better  to be seen for what you are, then killed for what you are not....should the  time come, that you do not wish our company  any longer, Return the PIn to me, Or  Ivy...

  He  takes  a bite of his  food  and listens to Rolf  and Durzak,..Then  we  will wait to see what news the Elders  send us...Good Rolf?  Even should we not find  Cats on our way to Olnat, you can bet there  will be some in the town itself....They are protected thier  from Ironmoun d regulars, and such...but..Companies  do tend to fight  amoungst themselves  from time to time...

 Ivy Chuckles as he drinks  deep from his  wine cup,But Dras?  I do fight...i must fight off all the Maidens, who wish to have be, because of my looks...  he winks  at Lucy  then says to  Dras ,..and if you check the totem, you will see my reported  Kills..I think i have a wee bit more then you..aye?

Justin offers a quiet prayer to Eta for this bounty. Once finished he considers the exchange between the others as he partakes of the meal Kree graciously provided.
