[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 3274743, member: 30035"] [b]Letter #6[/b] Dearest brother; On returning to Highfolk, we arrived back in the courtyard of the Green Inn. We've become familiar faces to the family who run the inn. The innkeeper, Yargren, has an attractive daughter named Liselle who seems to have taken a liking to Shishir. I suspect that there is some fey blood in her family. While we were introducing ourselves formally to Yargren, a man came into the inn complaining that he couldn't find a guide to accompany him on a journey. I stepped up and identified myself as someone who could help. This man introduced himself as Judar Fornoff, a merchant who intended to travel to Flameflower to deliver some goods. My companions seemed interested in working for the merchant, and we agreed to meet him on the following day at the River Gate. This would give us an opportunity to look out for hunters while we traveled. Judar offered me 25 gold pieces per day for my services, and my companions would receive 10 gold pieces each. He was paying so handsomely because most of the foresters, trackers and hunters were occupied with the oktobear hunt. The following morning we met Judar and his nephew Streb at the gate, where they waited along with their two pack mules. Our journey began uneventfully with a short visit to Fairhill before turning onto the road to Flameflower. Judar was bitten by poisonous snake at one point, but I was able to treat him for the poison. Later the twins noticed something odd ahead of us, and when they went forward to investigate they encountered an unusual deer-like creature, which led them into the forest. When they followed it they encountered a fey woman called Ashleigh. Ashleigh had been sent by the Lord of the Green to stop the hunters from finding the albino oktobear. The twins summoned Thor and I to join them, and Ashleigh even allowed Judar and his nephew to catch a brief glimpse of her. Though the merchant had no interest in the hunt one way or another, the rest of us agreed to do what we could to help her with her goal. When she departed she left the deer-like beast, an orafaun she called Althil, to accompany us. Althil followed us surreptitiously as we continued toward Flameflower. Our journey wasn't without further trouble. As we proceeded along the road we heard sounds of battle up ahead. Ninad and I went ahead of our party to investigate. We crept up on a large group of orcs and gnolls engaged in a fight. In their midst a human man and girl had been surrounded. The orcs and gnolls seemed to be fighting over which of them would have the enjoyment of killing the humans. I took cover and fired my bow at the creatures, while Ninad used his magic against them and then attacked with his staff in hand. His twin had sent Balamani along to watch over us, and when she communicated to Shishir what was occurring he raced up to join the fight, with Thor hurrying after him. The gnolls turned out to have a spellcaster of their own, who sent a sphere of flames rolling across the ground at Thor. Ninad was badly wounded in the struggle and had to consume a potion. I eliminated several of the orcs and focused my attention on the one who seemed to be their leader, but he was better armored and I had trouble finding a weak point. Some of the orcs and gnolls had already reduced their own numbers but we were still outmatched. Thanks to the Keen Eye, we managed to overcome them in the end. The two humans were rescued and introduced themselves as a ranger, Gerris, and the young woman was called Feebie. Feebie had been training as a priestess and Gerris was escorting her back to her family home in Flameflower. As we were already headed that way, they joined us for the remainder of the trip. Perhaps you've met Gerris. I'll close now and tell you of the rest of the trip in another letter. Your sister, Lothiriel [/QUOTE]
