[Xen]

Bober listens to Kirun`s advice and do so. He covered himslef with some blood and lay down. He hoped that he would survive the battle.

OOC: sorry for the wait everyone. Here we go then.

Feldorn noiselessly moved amongst the trees and the sparse undergrowth. Then suddenly hearing a murmur of voices not too far away he motioned to Roland to hide behind some bushes. He himself advanced some more. Presently Roland could hear hushed voices speaking. A few minutes later Feldorn appeared along with two elves and a human female. He said to Roland: "We shall not have to make a last stand. It has turned out that they are friendly to our cause. Let us go back to the clearing the elves wish to speak with our leader."

They went back to the clearing. From the edge of the clearing Feldorn told the others the same thing he had just told Roland in a few shouted sentences. As the group stood up from among the fallen Feldorn pointed out Turin to one of the elves, who walked overe to him.

"My name is Halar. I know of your quest. Helbion a human ranger we had met told us of your group and requested our help in taking care of the orcs. I am sorry that he did not reach you after giving his message and I am also sorry that we did not manage to get to you before the orcs. I knew Elfalas, we had been friends once, but that was a long time ago. His death pains me much. If he saw you fit to lead the group then you are most certainly a great man. As much as we would like to help you in your mission our first priority is keeping these woods clean of those foul orcs. However one member of my group wishes to join with you. She is a healer and we have several other healers so after some discussion with here I decided that if you shall take her I shall let her go. She is called Robyn Stratsworth. We would really like to stay and help you but the orcs are drawing near. Do not worry about the orcs. We shall take care of them. Now only the decision whether you take on Robyn remains. I can tell you that seh has been a most useful member in my group and that she had saved several lives." .

During the time it took the elf to say all of this Feldorn had been talking in rapid elvish with the other elf some distance away from the party. He walked up to Turin just as Halas finished speaking. "I have just learnt many useful things about the surrounding woods. There are many places to hide and routes which are safe. We shall be able to put this knowledge to much use."

Turín

"Very well then. Robyn, in behalf of the surviving members of our force, we welcome you into it, under the recommendations awarded you by this good elf. I hope you know what you are getting into."

Turning to Feldorn, he said

Then if there be a safehaven nearby, let us claim the best one that would serve as a base of operations for us. One that each and all of us could find again in attempt to meet up and regroup after our several tasks have been completed. Feldorn, lead the way if you will...

Turning to the others he said,

Pack your things...we are moving quickly.

Feldorn

"There is an elven encampment just 3 days journey away from here which would be suitable. I shall lead you there."


OOC: I'll leave a chance for everyone to post, but I do not plan anything interesting to happen on the way.

[Xen]

OOC: I will be away for a week so do continuoe without me. And please DM don˙t kill me OK? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Robyn

She nodded at Turin, her right hand grasping the knot of the knapsack swung around her shoulder.

"I'll do what I can to help."

As she waited to take the others' lead, she stood taciturnly, obviously at peace with not saying much and just 'doing', the way she had been functioning for as long as she could remember. Her gray eyes glittered a little as she took in the appearance of her companions, and the ghost of a smile touched her lips.

Kirûn

The burly dwarf grunted as he tightened his pack's straps. After quickly inspecting their new elven companion for a moment, he shouldered his great axe and followed Feldorn's lead at a quick pace, while humming quietly to himself.

Feldorn

He led the way through small, hidden paths in the forest, while the rest of the group followed. As dusk was starting to fall he called Turin to the front with him. In a soft whisper so that no one else would hear he conveyed the following message to him:

"I was not only told of safe routes and safe places by the elf back there. he told me that there is a traitor in our group. They found this out by capturing one of the orc scouts who had told them that they knew our group would be passing the way we did. I did not want to say this to the whole of the group since I did not want to reveal to the traitor that I knew there was a traitor. The orc scout they had interrogated had told them too that the traitor had not fallen during the battle since the orcs knew that there were some survivors left. I do not know who this traitor is, but it could be anyone."

Hrolf

"Eh.. Therlion... could you get rid of this great sword from my side? Its not too comfortable."

[Bozos of Bones]

"Offcorse. I just thought it would be gone by now. I have been experimenting with other magical powers and I've never conjured something like that with a lasting of over half an hour." Therlion motions his hand and grabs the greatsword. It quickly disappears "But is is interesting. See, my axe disappeared shortly after I got up, and your greatsword persisted. I'll try and practise it more. In my free time." He extends his hand and a pebble flies to it, levitating steadily about an inch above his open palm. He finished his thought "When I'm not practising teledirection". He smiles and grabs the pebble.

The group arrives at the elven encampment two days later. After a few days of resting during which everyone heals fully and rests the party is ready to leave. On the eve before leaving while everone is sitting together having food Hrolf asks Turin: "What are the exact plans then? Are we really going to split?"
