Hell's fury

Plot Summary

The group have entered the no-mans-land between the Dwarven Kingdom of AngleRia and the Elven kingdom, Ifolltadir. Just as
two past allies catch up to them two bandits, rife in no-mans-land, approach. They try to peacefully get money from the
group, then they attack. During the skirmish Bashkar, a troll, one of the two who had just caught up with the group, is
stabbed in the stomach. The lead bandit is decapitated and the other flees. Mihwen heals Bashkar, and the others stand
around talking and catching up. They trot on when they hear a low wailing from over a small mound. They trot over to
discover, Bolfur. They charge over to him and he reveals that Lesharn is in this world, too, and that seven years have
passed in 'Tarkna'. They search around and find a wounded Lesharn lying on the ground. After several minutes of attempting
to heal Lesharn they set off towards the elven kingdom. Within moments they are in the green grasses of the elven kingdom.
They journey on for another an hour before setting up camp for the night.

 

Full Log

Narrator: The group are trotting in the no-mans-land between the Dwarven and Elven kingdoms. So far they have crossed
only being stopped by the occasional bandit. They are nearly at the kingdom of the Elves. The sun is peaking over the
horizon as the world slowly fills with light. The terrain is rugged, dark, rocky, barren and lifeless. Spots of dying
grassland are scattered in front of the group.

Shandor wonders aloud, 'Where did Thor go?'

Shandor looks around, 'Tanoil too.'

Dytalorien gazes before him at the grim scenery...

Mihwen says 'bet Tanoil is helping mother nature'

Shandor says, 'She could use some help.'

Dytalorien pushes his mount into a fast gallop and catches up with the group..

Shandor looks around his surroundings.

Shandor says, 'Greetings Dytalorien.’

Dytalorien waves his hands in greetings.

Bashkar lets out a large trollish shriek and begins charging full force towards the group from some distance

Bashkar shouts 'there you are!'

Dytalorien blinks in surprise.

Shandor stops his horse, 'Here we are. Do we know you?'

Dytalorien grins, "Do we want to?"

Shandor smiles, 'You look a bit familiar.’

Narrator: Just up ahead two creatures are seen approaching the group

Shandor looks towards the two approaching.

Shandor says, 'Hail.'

Dytalorien blinks, "Seems we're popular today..."

Yebim , clearly a dwarf, pulls out his axe

Dytalorien raises an eyebrow.

Shandor says, 'There is no need for weapons, we mean you no harm

Yebim growls, 'Aye, well maybe we don't feel the same way.'

Aryon grunts and scans the group menacingly.

Bashkar scratches his head

Yebim says, ''Ow's about you 'and over all ye gold and we let you live?'

Shandor says, 'How about, you turn around now and never look back, and we let you live?'

Bashkar holds up his club and says, 'yeah!'

Aryon grunts, "A lively one, he is, ain't he?"

Yebim snickers, 'Pah, ye are nothin' but a menace, ye need to be destroyed.'

Shandor hops off his horse

Shandor draws his sword

Aryon brandishes a heavy broadsword.

Bashkar says, 'Bashkar don't like bad people like you...'

Shandor says, 'You are no match for us.'

Dytalorien grins, "This should be interesting.."

Bashkar says, 'I can smash you, easy'

Mihwen gets down from her horse

Yebim growls, 'We'll see' He lunges at Shandor

Aryon grunts, "I beg to differ mate."

Bashkar raises his club angrily

Shandor rises his sword just as the axe hits his blade

Aryon charges straight at the group, his sword flashing brightly.

Shandor kicks Yebim in the stomach

Bashkar swings his club full force at Aryon

Mihwen backs of pulling a knife in the same move

Yebim swipes with his axe, tearing part of Shandor's tunic

Aryon deflects the blow deftly and lunges for Baskar's exposed stomach.

Shandor leaps into the air and brings down his sword at the dwarf.

Bashkar looks down, pulling his club in quickly in an attempt to block, but is too late

Mihwen walks around the fighting men

Yebim is knocked to the ground

Bashkar steps back, stunned

Shandor brings his sword down again

Dytalorien leaps off his mount, a long curved sabre in his grasp.

Yebim kicks upwards and knocks Shandor to the ground

Dytalorien moves quickly to Baskar's aid, blocking an oncoming blow intended for his head.

Yebim charges towards Mihwen

Shandor jumps to his feet

Mihwen gracefully moves away

Bashkar cringes and says, 'ouch'

Aryon growls loudly in frustration, and swipes wildly at Dytalorien.

Shandor jumps on the Dwarf and pulls on his beard

Bashkar falls to his knee and inspects his wound

Yebim growls and punches Shandor off.

Dytalorien moves back, swiftly dodging the slashes.

Mihwen walks towards Yebim

Shandor gets to his feet and looks round for his blade

Aryon grunts and runs to attack Mihwen's exposed back.

Bashkar growls angrily

Mihwen shout 'hey you!' at Yebim

Yebim leaps on Shandor's back and starts kicking and punching the elf.

Bashkar raises, cupping the wound with one hand

Aryon leaps into the air and cleaves at Mihwen.

Dytalorien exclaims, "Watch it, Mihwen!"

Shandor begins to yell, 'I've got a short, bearded weird person on me, help!'

Mihwen hears something and tries to throw herself away

Bashkar raises his club and flails wildly at Aryon saying, 'you hurt Bashkar! You die!'

Mihwen almost did it, but got a cut on her arm

Aryon lands with a THUD, his blow barely grazing Mihwen's arm.

Bashkar raises his club high over his head and brings it down aiming for Aryon's skull

Shandor jumps backwards and slams backwards into a large rock. The dwarf groans and falls off

Yebim grabs his axe

Shandor grabs his sword

Aryon grunts and brings his sword high overhead blocking Baskar's blow.

Aryon legs crumple under the extreme power of the blow...

Yebim lunges at Shandor

Shandor parries the blow and hits the dwarf over the head with the hilt of the sword

Mihwen knees down picking up some sand

Bashkar pulls up his club

Bashkar brings it down on Aryon's sword wielding arm

Yebim suddenly brings up his axe and slices into Shandor's chest

Aryon quickly rolls away to safety.

Shandor cringes in pain and he falls backwards

Bashkar snorts and growls

Mihwen runs towards Yebim throwing the sand in his face

Yebim yells in anger, having sand in both eyes

Bashkar turns and continues to swing his club at Aryon

Dytalorien lunges at Aryon, his sabre gleaming but misses.

Shandor suddenly leaps to his feet and swings his sword

Aryon is pushed back by the onslaught of two foes and grunts.

Yebim 's head slides off it's body and falls to the ground

Bashkar raises his club angrily due to his inability to land a hit

Shandor says, 'Dytalorien, Bashkar, need help?'

Bashkar says, 'I’m ok.. got hurt though..'

Bashkar reaches down, picking up a large stone

Aryon notices his comrades death and quick scampers off...

Shandor says, 'I think we won.'

Bashkar tosses the stone at Aryon, missing

Bashkar snorts

Aryon disappears over the horizon.

Bashkar shouts, 'and don't come back!'

Bashkar falls to his knee

Mihwen looks around 'anyone hurt?'

Shandor looks down at his bleeding chest, 'Just a flesh wound.'

Bashkar says, 'I think he got me..'

Dytalorien blinks, "Bashkar."

Dytalorien points at the prone Bashkar.

Mihwen walks up to Bashkar while bleeding for her arm

Bashkar says, 'urgh.. I’m ok'

Mihwen says 'let me see your stomach'

Bashkar says, 'it don’t hurt'

Mihwen says 'lay down'

Bashkar lies down on the ground

Mihwen places her hands over Bashkar's stomach

Bashkar grasps his club

Shandor gathers the horses, who during the battle had moved away

Bashkar cringes a bit

Dytalorien scans the area warily, "Hopefully that's the last of 'em."

Shandor mounts his horse.

Mihwen says 'well you wont die, but you might have some pain a few days'

Bashkar says frowning, 'ok..'

Dytalorien grins, "Will his appetite be affected?"

Bashkar says, 'appetite? I’m hungry...'

Shandor grins, 'If it were it would be a disaster for him.'

Mihwen smiles 'I wouldn’t recommend meat for at least one day'

Bashkar says, 'WHAT!?'

Dytalorien chuckles, "Think we have enough supplies to last?"

Shandor nods, 'I think we do.'

Bashkar frowns

Dytalorien chortles as he remounts.

Bashkar says, 'What is there other then meat?'

Shandor grins, 'Somehow I thought a Troll would think that.'

Bashkar sits up and raises to his feet

Mihwen says 'apples'

Bashkar cringes

Dytalorien tosses Bashkar an apple.

Bashkar eyes it

Dytalorien grins at Bashkar, "Have fun."

Bashkar eats it with an unsatisfied look on his face

Shandor chuckles

Bashkar says, 'this isn’t so good'

Dytalorien watches musingly as Bashkar struggles to swallow.

Bashkar begins to walk forward, club on shoulder

Shandor says, 'You're not having any more either, you'll eat our whole food stocks.'

Bashkar spits out some apple

Bashkar says, 'hmph'

Shandor urges his horse forward

Dytalorien pushes his horse into a canter.

Bashkar continues on

Shandor looks around,

Shandor says, 'What a wasteland.'

Bashkar syas, 'where we going anyway?'

Shandor says, 'The Elven kingdom to the south.'

Dytalorien replies, "An elven city, whatitsname."

Bashkar says, 'oh..'

Shandor smiles at Dytalorien, 'Har, Har, I wouldn't mispronounce the king's name, as I'm sure you can remember why.'

Dytalorien grins in memory.

Mihwen asks 'anyone got some water?'

Dytalorien tosses Mihwen a canteen.

Mihwen 'thanks, need to clean up my wound'

Dytalorien says, "Aye, it's a necessity."

Bashkar says, 'smells like elf around here'

Dytalorien chuckles, "Your surrounded."

Mihwen smiles 'how smart of you to notice'

Shandor grins

Bashkar says, 'eh.. elf smells better then dwarf at least'

Dytalorien grins, "I wouldn't say that to them."

Shandor turns round and notices something in the distance, 'Then you better had close your nose

Bashkar smirks

Bashkar says, 'huh?'

Dytalorien muses, "I assume there's a dwarf approaching."

Bashkar turns and sniffs the air

Skalf shouts * damn you elves to leave me behind.. wait for me*

Shandor says, 'Oh goodie, a hell trip wouldn't be complete without you

Dytalorien chuckles at the familiar grating tone of voice.

Skalf rides closer on his trusty Donkey

Bashkar scratches his head, 'who’s that dwarf?'

Shandor says, 'Some *thing* that follows us.'

Dytalorien ponders as he realizes he doesn't yet know his name.

Mihwen shakes her head

Bashkar smirks

Skalf says" by grumni you even found a troll along the road*

Bashkar says, 'trolls? huh? oh me..'

Dytalorien raises an eyebrow.

Shandor says, 'I think we just found out why trolls aren’t the smartest creatures in the world.'

Bashkar snorts, 'smarter then you'

Skalf starts laughing

Shandor laughs, 'Denial, I thought you would do that first.'

Dytalorien says in elvish, "That's not too smart, Shandor"

Bashkar says, 'hey, what you say?'

Skalf says * that wasn't a bad reply for an elf*

Bashkar says, 'lucky you know elven'

Dytalorien says quickly, "Oh nothing..."

Bashkar says, 'even luckier I don't'

Shandor grins, and says sarcastically, 'Bashkar, I was just saying how smart you are.'

Bashkar says, 'oh.. aha'

Bashkar says, 'hey.. wait..'

Dytalorien rolls his eyes at Shandor.

Bashkar grunts at Shandor

Mihwen asks 'are we standing here all day?'

Bashkar says, 'uh.. I dunno'

Dytalorien grins, "Couldn't agree more, let's go."

Dytalorien compels his horse to move.

Bashkar says, 'ok'

Bashkar starts walking

Narrator: The group are about to take off at a gallop when a small wail echoes nearby. Carefully they trot towards the
noise.

Dytalorien furrows his brows.

Bashkar says, 'what was that?'

Shandor says, 'What on Tarkna?'

Narrator: The group trot over the top of the hill. In front of them is a cold, pallor body. The group move over. It is
the form of Bolfur.

Shandor growls, 'BOLFUR!'

Bashkar looks down

Dytalorien blinks in disbelief.

Shandor jumps from his horse and runs over to him

Bashkar says, 'Bolfur?'

Bolfur croaks, ‘Didn’t-‘ he coughs, ‘-Expect to see…..see me here.’

Mihwen looks at Bolfur

Bolfur grins, most of his teeth are missing and those remaining are bloodied.

Bolfur looks awfully old, battered and wounded. He still has the wound from Enox’s arrow a few days earlier. His hair
is grey and his face sagged.

Bashkar scratches his head

Bolfur spits every word with murderous spite, ‘For seven YEARS I was tortured in that hell dimension, it deserved to
be YOU.’

Mihwen walks towards him

Bolfur waves his hand towards the group. He then looks down at the arrow wound from Enox, ‘Blasted thing, it wouldn’t
heal and it wouldn’t kill, something it that hell stopped it from poisoning me to death.’

Bolfur wheezes loudly, ‘Seems it’s got it’s kick back since then.’

Shandor says, 'Seven years? You've been gone less than a week, unless time works differently in certain dimensions.'

Dytalorien says dryly, "Apparently it does."

Bashkar frowns

Shandor says, 'How did you get here?'

Bolfur growls, ‘Through a portal ya idiot.’

Shandor mutters to himself, 'Impossible, there is no portal there and back.'

Mihwen says now you better talk or I’ll make you suffer for eternity

Bolfur , having obviously heard Shandor, ‘Tell that to that halfling.’

Shandor looks at Bolfur, 'Who?'

Bolfur says, ‘That walking, talking, annoying tune.’

Shandor quickly says, 'Lesharn?'

Bolfur says, ‘Why should I care about his name?’

Bashkar says, 'that your friend?'

Mihwen pulls her knife

Shandor grabs the dwarf by his ripped and tatty tunic, 'Listen, you dragged him into that place and you're going to
tell us how to get him out.'

Dytalorien raises his eyebrows in interest.

Dytalorien nods to Bashkar.

Bolfur tries to laugh, ‘He’s already out ya fool! why so glum ya pointy eared idiot? You’ve killed me, you and ya
poisons and ya bobbing coffins, ya killed me, well done!’

Bolfur begins coughing wildly before going completely quiet, dead.

Shandor says, 'That was.....unexpected.'

Bashkar says, 'dead?'

Dytalorien shakes his head.

Shandor nods

Shandor says, 'Lesharn is somewhere.'

Dytalorien says, "What a way to go..."

Shandor says, 'We must find him.'

Bashkar nods

Mihwen spits on the corpse and shouts ‘lets go!’

Dytalorien says grimly, "Let's hope he's in better condition."

Bashkar places his club on his shoulder

Shandor says, unremorseful, 'I poisoned the idiot.'

Skalf shouts * You murderer!*

Shandor gets back on his horse

Shandor growls, 'Shut up you O so unintelligent dwarf.’

Dytalorien says to Skalf, "Learn the context 'fore yeh speak."

Bashkar sighs

Mihwen looks at Skalf 'be quiet or die'

Dytalorien mumbles incoherently and pushes his horse forward once again.

Shandor examines the ground from his horse, 'Appears to be tracks here.'

Bashkar says, 'hmm?'

Shandor begins to follow him

Skalf start mumbling while mentioning the word Grudge*

Mihwen point in one direction 'that way'

Dytalorien sighs and moves in the direction Mihwen is pointing.

Bashkar shrugs and follows

Narrator: Lesharn is lying the dried mud, barely awake

Mihwen runs up to him

Shandor runs towards the Halfling, 'Lesharn!'

Dytalorien blinks and leaps from his mount.

Bashkar follows the group

Mihwen falls on her knees beside Lesharn

Dytalorien moves up to Lesharn, "How is he?"

Bashkar looks down at him

Lesharn coughs, 'Is it? Is...'

Mihwen 'quiet'

Lesharn barely can cough words, 'Mihwen?'

Mihwen put her hands on his shoulders

Mihwen says 'yes it's me, quiet now'

Dytalorien watches the scene before him, keeping quiet.

Mihwen closes her eyes and she begins to shake

Shandor takes a step back

Bashkar scratches his head

Bashkar steps back as well

Shandor says, 'Is he okay?'

Mihwen says' he will survive

Dytalorien exhales in relief.

Mihwen 'but he needs much help'

Bashkar leans in and says, 'he doesn’t look so good eh?'

Shandor says, ‘lets put him on one of the horses.’

Bashkar nods

Dytalorien nods, "Let's hurry and get him to the city, where help can be found."

Shandor says, 'The Elven kingdom shouldn't be far now.'

Shandor lifts the fragile body of Lesharn and puts him on Shandor's horse

Mihwen says no

Shandor takes the horses reigns and walks forward

Mihwen 'put him down'

Dytalorien blinks at Mihwen.

Dytalorien reigns in his horse.

Shandor says, 'We need to get him to a proper healer

Mihwen says ‘we need to make some sort of stretcher.’

Dytalorien shakes his head, "We've not the necessary materials."

Dytalorien gazes about the barren expanse before them, "And likely we wouldn't be able to find them either."

Mihwen say 'we wont move until we have'

Shandor shakes his head, 'It's best to get him to the nearest town,'

Skalf says * I might have some, but for a price *

Shandor spins round to look at the dwarf

Mihwen looks at Skalf 'what about your head?'

Dytalorien sighs and shakes his head.

Bashkar eyes Skalf

Shandor takes out two of his daggers, 'Listen here, if you have the materials need, you WILL give them to Mihwen.'

Bashkar trudges toward Skalf 'it wont be hard to take them'

Dytalorien tries to calm Shandor, "That approach won't help"

Skalf says * you people know what the elven king does when you hurt a merchant do you*

Shandor says, 'The Elven king is xenophobic, he couldn't care less about anything but Elves.'

Shandor smirks evilly, 'So I would advise you play nice and give us the stuff we need.'

Bashkar nods

Skalf says * not even when I bring him the finest metals Dwarf smith's can me?*

Dytalorien says to Shandor, "This makes us as low as those thieves we dispatched back there."

Shandor says, 'What part of 'Hates everyone but elves' did your pathetic brain not understand?'

Mihwen pulls a little leather bag from her waist

Bashkar frowns 'even trolls?'

Dytalorien grunts in frustration.

Shandor whispers in Elven, 'I'm not going to kill him, just.....wound him, if he doesn't help.'

Bashkar growls at Skalf

Dytalorien replies in Elvish, "Let's just see if we can trade anything for it."

Shandor says, 'What? Ego reducer?'

Skalf says * I helped you once, I see you people kill a dwarf and you expect me to help you again?*

Dytalorien rummages upon in his belongings searching for something of value.

Mihwen walks away from the discussion

Bashkar says, 'what you want dwarf?'

Shandor shakes his head and walks away

Bashkar looks around

Shandor returns grinning, his hands full with equipment, 'Mihwen, I have stuff you need.'

Bashkar turns toward Shandor and Mihwen

Dytalorien mumbles at Shandor, "Thieving may not be the best solution."

Shandor says, 'It seemed like the only solution.'

Dytalorien finds something and tosses to Skalf a large amethyst, "Will that be enough in recompense?"

Mihwen says in elvish 'he wouldn’t have survive much longer showing Shandor a blowpipe dart'

Shandor passes the equipment to Mihwen, 'I hope this will help

Skalf says * I’m reasonable, it will do*

Shandor looks at the blowpipe dart

Dytalorien nods.

Skalf says * do we have a agreement?*

Shandor mumbles about being easier to kill the dwarf

Dytalorien chuckles at Skalf, "It's much too late, since things have already been exchanged."

Mihwen says 'lets build it'

Shandor grins, 'Oh, did I forget to mention that?'

Dytalorien adds, "Well in a way at least."

Bashkar says, 'Shandor quick with hands eh?'

Shandor nods and grins again, 'It was necessary.'

Dytalorien chuckles at Bashkar, "Or so he thinks."

Bashkar says, 'huh?' scratching his head

Shandor says, 'My way was quicker, probably saved Lesharn's life, too'

Shandor says, 'Mihwen, can we move Lesharn?'

Mihwen syas 'yes but be careful'

Mihwen says 'no sudden moves'

Shandor , carefully, picks up Lesharn and places him on the horse

Shandor says, 'Okay, lets go then

Bashkar nods

Shandor walks in front of Lesharn's horse

Bashkar looks at his wound which has stopped bleeding

Lesharn groans awake

Bashkar starts to walk forward

Mihwen walks up to the horse, lays her hand on Lesharn's head and he falls asleep

Mihwen says 'in this way he'll stay still'

Shandor nods before continuing on

Bashkar follows Shandor

Dytalorien follows along.

Shandor mutters to the unconscious Lesharn, 'I suppose you don't feel like singing a song?'

Dytalorien grins and grabs his silver flute.

Shandor smiles, 'Any song I know?'

Skalf gets back on his donkey and follow the group from a lil distance while looking at his gem*

Dytalorien replies, "Probably not, since I made it up."

Bashkar turns toward Skalf and continues on

Shandor smiles, 'Very well.'

Dytalorien raises the flute lightly to his lips before playing.

Dytalorien moves his fingers and plays. A dismal melody soon emanates throughout the surroundings.

Shandor smiles at the tune before taking a small fruit from his pack

Shandor takes a bite out of the fruit.

Dytalorien continues to play. Holding steady on his horse with his legs. The tune soon takes on new fervour before
reaching a thrilling climax.

Shandor turns to Bashkar, 'Could you go up front? Your height will be an advantage to see any bandits coming.'

Bashkar says, 'ok,' while moving up front

Dytalorien lowers the flute as he reaches the songs conclusion.

Bashkar walks on, keeping a watchful eye

Dytalorien twirls the flute within his hands before replacing it within his belongings.

Shandor looks around, it’s mid-evening,

Dytalorien inquires, "How much further?"

Shandor checks his maps, once more, 'Er, not much further

Bashkar says, 'I almost smell elven kingdom...'

Skalf says * finally*

Shandor says, 'I don't see why you want to get to the Elven Kingdom.'

Mihwen mutters

Shandor says, 'I would have thought you would be more at home in no-mans-land, with the scum of the world and all.

Bashkar says, 'you think elf king will let Bashkar in?'

Skalf replied * thats not of your concern Shandor... I'm here with a reason*

Dytalorien sighs at Shandor.

Shandor says, 'Maybe Bashkar, maybe.'

Bashkar says, 'I hope so... elf make good food'

Dytalorien blinks at Bashkar's eccentric trollish tastes.

Dytalorien grins at Bashkar, "You are indeed a weird one."

Bashkar says, 'eh.. thanks?'

Shandor chuckles

Narrator: The group are trotting over a hill, as they reach it's peak they see lush grassland in front of them

Dytalorien chuckles lightly at Bashkar's seeming innocence.

Shandor grins, 'Lush grass.'

Bashkar grins at the sight

Shandor says, 'You can tell we are now in the Elven kingdom.'

Dytalorien nods, "What a nice change of scenery."

Bashkar says, 'finally, land not so ugly'

Bashkar says, 'not that there’s anything wrong with ugly..'

Dytalorien chuckles.

Mihwen says 'you're very special Bashkar'

Shandor grins

Dytalorien nods, "Indeed."

Bashkar says, 'thanks you Mihwen'

Bashkar says, 'err.. thank you'

Skalf rides up and looks around the grasslands

Bashkar says, 'this speaking thing is not so easy you know.'

Shandor grins, 'I can see why.'

Mihwen says 'you're very good, one day you might learn elvish'

Bashkar says, 'I barely speak common well enough'

Shandor says, 'That will indeed be a great sight, a troll speaking Elven.'

Mihwen says 'someone must be the first'

Shandor smiles, 'Can you imagine the Elves faces?'

Skalf grins

Bashkar grins toothily

Shandor spots a tree nearby

Shandor says, 'It might have fresh fruit.'

Shandor dashes over and grins as he is proved correct.

Bashkar says, 'more fruit.. joy'

Mihwen smiles 'good for your little tummy'

Shandor picks off one and takes a bite.

Dytalorien chuckles at Bashkar.

Shandor smiles, 'Quite possibly the nicest taste I've tasted in the last forty years.'

Bashkar says, 'make sure it not poison'

Bashkar says, 'friend died from poison fruit..'

Shandor says, 'Take some.'

Skalf looks at the fruit but is to small to reach and get one *

Dytalorien grins, "He hasn't dropped down and died yet...we can still hope though."

Bashkar picks one and sniffs it

Shandor collapses to the ground shuddering

Bashkar jumps back, terrified.

Shandor stops moving

Dytalorien blinks, "Perhaps I spoke too soon."

Bashkar pokes Shandor

Bashkar says, 'you ok?'

Dytalorien grins and pokes Shandor with the point of his sabre.

Mihwen says 'stop fooling around'

Shandor grins, 'okay, okay, I'm not dead.'

Shandor gets up grinning and blushing slightly.

Bashkar sighs, 'dun scare me!'

Bashkar takes a bite of the fruit with a solid look on his face

Dytalorien blinks at Bashkar, "Here I'd thought you unscareable."

Bashkar spits out the fruit with a disgusted look on his face

Bashkar says, 'not so good..'

Shandor looks at the troll with shock, 'Not good?'

Bashkar says, 'I dun like..'

Mihwen says 'that was strange'

Bashkar says, 'I been too long without meat'

Bashkar says, 'nothin taste so good no more'

Skalf is still trying to reach a fruit but can't get one

Bashkar picks one and hands it to Skalf

Dytalorien chuckles at Bashkar, "It hasn't even been a day yet."

Varadrion looks around at the area

Bashkar frowns

Shandor spots another elf in the distance

Skalf says * well thank you Bashker*

Bashkar says, 'stupid robbers..'

Varadrion says "a day since what"

Shandor says, 'Hail, friend.'

Bashkar looks at his wound, 'looks much better tho'

Bashkar looks at Mihwen

Bashkar says, 'how much longer?'

Varadrion says "Hello all"

Dytalorien waves to Varadrion.

Skalf looks at the elf

Bashkar eyes Varadrion, 'hello'

Shandor bows, 'It is good to see another elf so soon after arriving in the Kingdom.'

Mihwen smiles 'greetings'

Varadrion Bows

Bashkar leans on his club

Mihwen says 'and who might you be?'

Varadrion says "so where exactly are we?"

Shandor says, 'Do you know where the nearest town or village is.'

Bashkar scratches his head

Varadrion looks around... stares off in thought

Shandor looks slightly baffled, 'I would hope you would know, you came from further in the Elven kingdom, did you
not?'

Dytalorien grins, "Apparently not."

Varadrion this way, he points north.

Bashkar says, 'are you sure?'

Dytalorien looks doubtful, "I do hope you are correct."

Shandor says, 'Yes, are you sure?'

Varadrion says "Yes"

Skalf says * i don't trust this elf*

Shandor says, 'We just came from the north.'

Bashkar sniffs the air, 'smells more like the east..'

Varadrion says " i haven't been home much lately"

Bashkar feels a breeze, 'maybe not..'

Mihwen says 'lets keep moving'

Bashkar nods

Varadrion say "Good idea"

Mihwen says 'we can talk on the way'

Shandor says, 'So either, you've forgotten the way, you're insane or you are a bandit trying to drag us back into
no-mans-land so your friends can kill us.'

Shandor says, 'Which is it?'

Dytalorien rolls his eyes at Shandor, "That's one way to put it."

Skalf shouts hysterically * he's after my goods and get his Hammer out.. stay away from me!*

Shandor says while looking at Skalf , 'Oh goodie, at least someone's insane.'

Mihwen looks at Skalf 'shutup or i'll do it for you'

Varadrion says "first one"

Shandor nods, 'Very well then.'

Bashkar says, 'that exactly what a bandit WOULD say'

Dytalorien chuckles "We'll just have to put a little trust in Varadrion."

Bashkar narrows an eye

Shandor says, 'Bashkar, how would moving further away help this elf?'

Varadrion Smiles "But one of me and all of you, would not be smart"

Bashkar shrugs

Bashkar says, 'well I trust the elf then'

Varadrion stands between Mihwen and Skalf

Varadrion says "Easy"

Shandor says, 'Calling you Elf all the time seems rude, would you mind tell us your name?'

Bashkar says, "Skalf is bad Dwarf sometimes'

Skalf replied * so you trust him? he can't even name where he lives do you?*

Dytalorien sighs as the situation deteriorates around him.

Bashkar shakes his head shamefully

Varadrion "How rude of me not to introduce myself, my name is Varadrion"

Shandor says, 'Greetings, I am Shandor.'

Varadrion bows

Bashkar extends a large claw-like hand to Varadrion, "I Bashkar'

Varadrion shakes Bash's claw

Dytalorien nods to Varadrion.

Varadrion nods back

Mihwen says ‘Mihwen’

Varadrion Smiles and bows

Shandor says, 'So, what do you do Varadrion?'

Mihwen speaks to Varadrion in elvish 'and never stand in the way between me and that dwarf'

Mihwen smiles

Shandor grins and says in Elven, 'Now now Mihwen.'

Dytalorien sighs at Mihwen.

Skalf walk back to his donkey while keeping his eye's on the elves*

Bashkar eyes Skalf

Varadrion says in elven "just don't fight"

Dytalorien says to Varadrion, "She's not in a good mood, y'see."

Varadrion says "someone asked what I do?"

Shandor nods, 'It was I.'

Mihwen looks at Varadrion 'sorry about that'

Varadrion says "i can tell Dytalorien" and smiles a bit

Bashkar looks at Lesharn on the horse, 'What about him?' points, 'dont forget!'

Dytalorien smiles at Bashkar's concern, "Aye, perhaps we should move along."

Bashkar nods

Shandor says, 'Bashkar, we have not forgotten about Lesharn, he's sleeping and you shouting will wake him up.'

Bashkar says, 'oops, sorry..'

Mihwen smiles 'he wont wake'

Varadrion says "As for your question Shandor... at the moment I’d prefer not to answer"

Dytalorien adds, "Or rather he won't be able to..."

Shandor says, 'Very well.'

Shandor smiles his half-smile at Dytalorien.

Varadrion glances at Dytalorien

Varadrion says "How was Lesharn hurt?"

Skalf looks at vandarion with a glittering in his eye*

Bashkar frowns

Dytalorien sighs, "That's a long tale..."

Shandor says, 'We do not know exactly how he was hurt, still such tales shall wait,'

Bashkar nods

Mihwen get a look of anger in her face

Bashkar looks at Mihwen

Bashkar says, 'what wrong?'

Varadrion says "did no-one see him get hurt, all I need is to know what weapon and where on the body"

Shandor quickly says, 'I would keep Mihwen away from Skalf.'

Bashkar smirks

Varadrion says "sounds like a good idea"

Mihwen says 'there nothing you can do about it right now Varadrion, but thanks for asking'

Shandor says bluntly, 'Look Varadrion, we don't know how, why, where he was hurt, but the point is Mihwen saved his
life and we should wait until we find a proper healer.'

Varadrion says "fair enough"

Dytalorien adds, "And we best hurry."

Shandor nods

Bashkar nods

Shandor takes the horse's reigns again and begins walking south.

Bashkar trudges to the front of the group quickly

Bashkar continues

Varadrion "I will follow with you... unless there are any objections"

Dytalorien pushes his horse forward.

Dytalorien shakes his head at Varadrion.

Shandor shakes his head at Varadrion, 'You are welcome to come along.'

Bashkar says, 'hmm.. another elf eh?'

Dytalorien grins at Bashkar, "Feeling outnumbered?"

Varadrion grins

Bashkar says grinning, 'as usual'

Dytalorien chuckles.

Skalf says * yes! finally some one noticed *

Bashkar says, 'huh?'

Shandor shakes his head in disbelief at Skalf.

Shandor says, 'Ignore him Bashkar.'

Bashkar shrugs and continues

Dytalorien chuckles further.

Varadrion Watches silently

Shandor shouts behind him, to the group, 'I found a path

Bashkar looks at Shandor

Shandor beings along the dirt path, 'This should lead to a town, or a village or something.

Bashkar quickly moves down the path

Dytalorien says warily, "Or a convenient place for an ambush.."

Bashkar smirks

Varadrion says "Might I remind you, you picked it, not me"

Dytalorien shrugs and follows along.

Bashkar says, 'this better not result in less meat eating for me..'

Bashkar says, 'one wound, bad enough'

Shandor says, 'We can handle any trouble.'

Dytalorien grins and says sarcastically, "Anything but that!"

Shandor grins

Bashkar nods

Dytalorien nods but adds, "But we've a wounded so it might be a bit more difficult."

Varadrion says "i will watch over him"

Bashkar says, 'hmmm..'

Shandor whispers to Dytalorien in Elven, 'It seems our green-skinned friend here doesn't comprehend sarcasm

Bashkar says, 'I think trolls been through here in the past'

Mihwen looks at Varadrion

Bashkar says, 'maybe huntin' elf?'

Dytalorien blinks.

Shandor says, 'No doubt it is now a troll-skin backpack

Varadrion says "Well lets not repeat the past then, hmm"

Bashkar says, 'huh'

Bashkar says, ‘better be careful incase of traps

Varadrion says "If his place is dangerous, we'd best keep moving... no telling what’s here"

Bashkar continues, watching the ground carefully

Shandor says, ' Varadrion, do you know anything about this place?'

Skalf put his hand under his cloak and waits for the events to happen*

Varadrion "Not particularly no... but something doesn't feel right"

Bashkar stop suddenly and says, 'wait!'

Varadrion listens

Bashkar says, 'think I see trap'

Dytalorien reigns in his horse.

Bashkar says, 'back up everyone'

Shandor stops, 'Are you people naturally paranoid, or did you have to train for it?'

Bashkar moves to the side of the path

Bashkar motions for them to back up just in case

Dytalorien shrugs, "Better safe then sorry, eh?"

Varadrion says "Indeed"

Shandor grins, 'Seems Bashkar aims to be sorry and we'll be safe, a good trade I'd say.'

Bashkar says 'hmm..'

Varadrion says "Well... he is a fair bit tougher than us"

Dytalorien rolls his eyes at Shandor.

Bashkar says, 'a string!'

Bashkar says, 'ok, watch out'

Shandor says sarcastically, 'Oooo scarey, a string, glad you warned us.'

Varadrion looks at the string... tries to follow it with his eyes

Bashkar pulls the string and a large sharpened tree trunk flings fourth with ropes to hold it, barely missing the
group

Dytalorien blinks.

Bashkar says, 'hmm.. oldest trick in the book'

Varadrion says "almost worked too"

Shandor looks around

Shandor says, 'Well, at least no-one died.'

Bashkar smirks and says, 'ok, I think we are ok for a minute'

Varadrion nods

Bashkar steps forward and is caught around the foot by a rope and flung up into the air

Bashkar dangles from a tree

Mihwen smiles

Bashkar says, 'argh..'

Skalf start laughing

Dytalorien mumbles and leaps up slicing the rope and dropping Bashkar.

Bashkar flails his arms wildly and falls to the ground

Shandor snickers slightly

Varadrion looks around quitely

Bashkar brushes off

Skalf puts his cloak for his mouth to stop laughing

Dytalorien chuckles.

Bashkar continues forward

Mihwen shouts 'hey Skalf can you come here?'

Varadrion wraps his cloak around him and walks off into shadows "I will be back shortly"

Skalf looks suspicious but moves toward Mihwen

Bashkar throws rocks in front of him to check for traps

Skalf says* what you want Mihwen?*

Dytalorien says, "Perhaps we should set up camp, and wait for the 'morrow 'fore we continue."

Varadrion comes back for a second and whispers in broken troll "do you need meat Bashkar?"

Bashkar says, 'eh'

Shandor says, 'A camp might be a good idea.'

Bashkar says, 'yeah, Im tired'

Shandor says, 'This path seems to go on forever.'

Dytalorien nods, "I'm a bit famished myself."

Mihwen says 'wee need a big fire for Lesharn

Shandor says, 'I'd say we've had a successful day already, found a lost commrade

Bashkar says, 'I want meat' frowning

Varadrion says "Anyone need meat?"

Bashkar says, 'I can't have any..'

Shandor grins, 'You are just making Bashkar feel worse.'

Mihwen smiles 'Bashkar wont have any'

Varadrion says "Why"

Bashkar frowns

Shandor says, 'Stomach wound.'

Dytalorien pokes Bashkar's stomach.

Bashkar says, 'ow'

Dytalorien chuckles.

Varadrion says "my apologies bash"

Bashkar says, 'hey thats still tender'

Bashkar says, 'its ok, not your fault'

Dytalorien grins, "You're made of tougher stuff than that."

Shandor stops his horse, 'Lets set up here.'

Bashkar says, 'well, yeah..'

Shandor takes out some supplies and tents

Bashkar sits down on a large rock

Dytalorien moves about the immediate area searching for firewood.

Shandor says, 'You can make the tents, I'll reproduce the spell I used yesterday.'

Varadrion says "do we have any food?"

Shandor says, 'Fruit.'

Mihwen says 'anyone helping Lesharn down?

Skalf takes his donkey to a tree and let it eat some grass

Varadrion says "I’ll give u a hand"

Bashkar says, 'anything I can do?'

Shandor nods and lifts Lesharn from the horse and sets him down on fresh grass.'

Shandor says, 'Bashkar, find firewood.'

Bashkar nods

Mihwen sits down beside Lesharn

Dytalorien moves about, silently gathering firewood.

Bashkar trudges down the path a bit in search of wood

Bashkar begins to pick up large sticks

Shandor says, 'Mihwen, look after Lesharn, Varadrion set up these tents.'

Mihwen looks at Shandor, ‘as if I would do other’

Varadrion starts putting up tents

Shandor turns to Skalf, 'Since I doubt you would do anything anyway just stand there.'

Bashkar clubs down some dead trees

Shandor smiles his half-smile.

Bashkar begins to pile the wood near the group

Dytalorien chuckles at Bashkar, "I doubt we need that many."

Bashkar smirks, 'you never know'

Skalf starts to unload the donkey and start building up a tent showing a smile *

Shandor begins setting up the spell he had used less than twenty-four hours eariler.

Varadrion says "how soon till it gets dark*

Shandor looks at the sky, 'An hour, maybe two.'

Bashkar yawns slightly, satisfied with his pile of wood

Dytalorien places his findings a the centre of the camp.

Shandor says,' Dytalorien would you set up the fire please.'

Varadrion says "I suppose we need a guard for the camp"

Bashkar moves his pile onto Dytalorien’s

Varadrion finishes putting up tents

Dytalorien nods and produces some tinder placing it beneath the wood.

Varadrion says "anything else you need me to do?"

Shandor begins casting the same spell as yesterday

Mihwen says 'better get that fire going'

Dytalorien soon has a brightly blazing fire going.

Dytalorien nods, "Aye, it's done and ready."

Bashkar sits near the fire

Shandor grins as a beam of purples light fires up into the sky, then it creating an energy dome around the camp

Varadrion says "i'm going for a walk... i won't be long"

Bashkar looks around

Shandor smiles with smug, self-satisfaction, 'That should protect us.'

Mihwen says would suggest that

Shandor yells at Varadrion, 'Wait!'

Dytalorien says to Varadrion, "Don't wander too far."

Shandor says, 'When you leave you will not be able to come back in until I open a gap for you, so don't be too long or
I’ll be asleep.'

Varadrion says "I’ll be back shortly then"

Skalf looks at the Varadrion ant walks mumbling to his tent

Varadrion wraps his black cloak around him and slowly walks toward the edge of the shield

Bashkar brings a rock near the fire to use as something of a pillow

Shandor says, 'Good fire you have there Dytalorien.'

Dytalorien chuckles, "Every fire is as good as the other."

Mihwen takes an apple from her bag staring to cut slices of it and eat

Varadrion walks into the shadows

Dytalorien grabs some dried meat from his belongings and starts tediously chewing.

Bashkar frowns, 'tomorrow had better come soon, I haven't had meat for so long'

Shandor grabs another fruit from the one tree inside the barrier

Dytalorien watches the fire intently as it crackles and flares.

Skalf walks outside the tent and drops a bag close by the fire

Dytalorien moves to one of the tents and makes himself comfortable.

Dytalorien is soon fast asleep.

Varadrion appears at edge of shield... calls for Shandor

Shandor crosses to Varadrion

Mihwen looks up

Mihwen asks 'what is it?'

Bashkar slowly starts to nod off

Shandor waves his hand and mutters something, a small, elf shaped hole is created

Varadrion says "don't worry about opening a gap, you will see me again in the morning"

Bashkar yawns

Shandor says, 'Perhaps you wouldn't mind telling me this before I open the gap.’

Varadrion says "you didn't let me say it before you opened it"

Shandor says, 'Why did you call for me in the first place?'

Shandor says, 'Now are you coming in or not?'

Varadrion says "I called you to tell you, so you don't stay up, and no, thank you, I’m not"

Shandor closes the barrier, 'Very well.'

Varadrion says "good night everyone... I will see you tomorrow"

Bashkar says, 'g'night'

Shandor nods and returns to the fire.

Mihwen looks up 'good night'

Bashkar turns on his side and begins to close his eyes

Varadrion walks off quietly into the darkness

Bashkar drifts off to sleep

Skalf drift off a sleep while mumbling about gold

Shandor says, 'I will stay awake for a short while,'

Shandor says, 'I take it the you are going to sleep? Mihwen?'

Mihwen looks up ‘I will later, just going to watch Lesharn a little’

Shandor nods, 'Very well, I will sleep first, awaken me when you go so I may watch over the camp.'

Mihwen nods 'okay'

Shandor goes into his tent and settles down into slumber

Mihwen picks up another apple
