As the two of you converse about what to do there is a commotion in the distance. The man who is speaking to you turns and screams Plagued Raiders! In the distance it looks like the horsemen are in battle with humanoid figures you can not make out. Gurney gives a command to his caravanRide ahead for all yer worth let's let these two kill each other.
The young man wakes with the Cure light Wounds potion. The mother cries with joy Oh thank you! Then she immediately berates the young man for going off on his own. Ki-Maj can see the beast and almost closed the distance on it. He is aprox 30' away but moving incredibly fast through the forested swamp. I guess its best we set up a guard detail for the night and begin getting ready to sleep. Gurney says loudly and whistles to get everyone's attention.
Gurney ponders your words for a moment, then saysAye, I do. We all do. Our families. We mean to join up with the Emissary and to be safe from the plague. Some of us have been as far south as the Protectorate and as far north as Reis, and have yet to find a place free of it. It may be a gamble, but its one I can't afford to miss.
The caravans encircle inside the clearing creating somewhat of a parameter.Good of you to join us, it was hard to find people willing to go through Sametia. What's your name friend? I'm Gurney. A toothless man attempts to strike up conversation as he continues to go about his chores.
Good thing I got some extra hands on this. No wonder they attacked, these Giants are half starved. They normaly don't attack this far east. Lack of food must have made them desperate. These cannons though, they are some of the ones missing after the raid by them tribals we had a few months back. I wonder if they be working in cohoots. Gurney says stroking his beard. Well, in any event, you more then did your share of the fighting, I will raise your wage once we get to Drogon Hold. Lets hurry befor more come Other then a very large two-handed sword, there is not much to take from the corpses of Ogres, Giants and Calikang. You can tell they are very thin to the point of being sickly for their species. When you get to town you are each paid 50g, which is a lot more then previously agreed on.
The old caravan lead, who seems to have transformed from grumpy old dwarf to combat expert shouts at the Calikang If you Speak Giant:
Your Next you !@#$%sucker(the insult does not translate well from common, but he gets his point across) Will save vs Demoralize at having lost half her force and mate. |
