<font color="FF3300">Kirûn started down towards the Enemy's outpost at a steady pace, himself in front, the elves (bound and roped together), and Bober trailing. Kirûn kept an eye open for any surprises and motioned for the others to do the same.</font>

OOC: Aparently nobody else in my party has any input aside from Feldorn, so....we're off. [img]smile.gif[/img]

For Turin's group:

Two guards in shiny ring mail stood outside the gate. One of them had a halberd in his hands the other had a sword attached to his belt and a shield on his back. The one with the halberd put his halberd at an angle as the group approached the gate. <font color=blue>"Identify yourselves! What are your names? And what is your business?" </font>

For Kirun's group:

Along the way towards the encampment they were stopped several times and asked about their business, but after saying that they were bringing elven captives they were let through and given directions through the encampments of all the different creatures. There were orcs, humans, trolls and creatures they did not knoy or were not able to identify from the sounds. Presently they arrived at the tower. Half-troll guards, at least three and a half meters high led them in to where slaves were being handed over. Most of the slaves were human or elven, but there were some dwarves among them too. They were told by the guards to stand in the line. When it was their turn the two elven captives were separetad from them and taken away down a long passageway towards the lower levels of the tower. Kirun and Bober were both handed 150 gold pieces each and after their questions of whether they could stay for some time they were led to a room on an upper level of the tower.

For Feldorn and Terias:

The passageway was long and the guards who were taking them were unkindly. They pushed them and dragged them and several times they fell to the ground. Their guards stopped suddenly and blindfolded them, which made the way even more painful for them as they stumbled more. A few minutes, although to them it seemed hours, later they were shoved into seperate cells next to each other. As their blindfolds were taken off they could see that there was nearly no light, but their elven eys could see that on the other side of the passageway many similar cells could be found. One of the guards told them that later they were going to be taken away to interrogation and then they would be assigned to work crews. The guards then locked the cages and left.

For Kirun and Bober:

The room they were given was small and dirty, the beds uncomfortable. The human guard who had accompanied them here told them that there was a drinking room not far away, also on the level a combat arena and beast pits could be found. He told them that they should not leave the level without permission, as they would get into a lot of trouble. He then left the room.

Bober was used to there kind of beds.<font color=white>HA! They all think that I am animal. But they have us room non the less. Should we search the area or not?</font> he asked his fellow friend.

<font color=skyblue>Turin

"Well met friends! The three of us are strangers in your land and would like a place to rest and fill our stomachs! We are also looking to sell off this woodland elf that we have acquired. Tell me, are there any men of Morgoth here? I hear they pay well for slaves."</font>

<font color=blue>"You have come to the right place if you wish to sell a slave, we ship directly to the stronghold not far away. Take up quarters in the inn for the night though as our lord is busy this evening. You shall be able to see him then. If you wish you can hand over the elf to guards at the barracks or later when you meet our lord."</font> The guard then returned to his post, and one of his comrades showed them the way to the inn. It was a large, mainly wooden building, with some intricately carved designs above the door and the windows. They were given two rooms. One with one bed, the other with two.


OOC: You are free to converse with the populace in the inn, as they will regard you as allies, they do not know any state matters, but are able to tell you about the village and its surroundings. Feel free to make them say anything which could fit the game. If it isn't Ok I'll ask you to edit it anyway [img]smile.gif[/img]

Roland walked toward the innkeep face to face.The inkeep was a short dwarf with a firey beard and was rubbing his axe with a wash cloth. <font color=green>"How you do?"</font> <font color=orange> "I'm doin fine thank ye very much! Tell me what yeh want so I can go back teh shinin meh axe!</font> Roland smiled and replied <font color=green> "Tell me about this area." </font> The dwarf eyed the young man from head to toe <font color=orange> "Well this is Lord Easthome's land. That is all there is you need to know' </font> The dwarf spat a huge wad of spit on his axe and started polishing it again with the cloth.

Roland knew that he should be more specfic.
<font color=green> "What kind of folk come through your inn?" </font> <font color=orange> "Mostly sellswords who are willing to be in service of Easthome.</font> <font color=green>"Why so many mercenaries?</font> <font color=orange> "Because Easthome put up notices in some towns that he is up for hiring mercenaries. He never stated the reason but I think it's a bit obvious. He is making an army in service of Morgoth. Lord Easthome was once a fierce battle commander I hear!</font> Roland thought he should let the others know about this.

OOC: If the second paragraph detracts from the storyline you originally have planned for dplax PM me and I'll edit it out.

<font color="FF3300">Kirûn snorted. "Aye, lets go get roaring drunk and then head down to the combat pits."</font>
