[QUOTE="Kerrz, post: 2661325, member: 22914"] [color=red]OOC: Jarrik could take a bus.[/color] Disposing of the unwanted objects out of the window of the moving car, Agarndas and his remaining two companions return to their seats. Once during the trip Therius travels back to the servant cart to find that it is short three passengers, and makes his own conclusions. [color=orange]"You know, of course, that this means you're going to have to explain the disappearances at the next stop, when the steward comes by to check the passenger manifesto,"[/color] the Human explains coolly. He goes on to suggest, [color=orange]"Just say that they ran off together, mention something about a fence. There shouldn't be too many questions."[/color] Following the Human's suggestion, the group manages to make it peacefully through Kornth without much questioning. The trip remains uneventful, no one bothering to talk to the warforged and no new passengers entering the car clean through until the end of the line at Fort Zombie. [color=green]"END OF THE LINE!!!"[/color] a stout man outside bellows through the door into the small confines of the car. Leaving their car, and taking their possessions, the warforged make their way outside to find Therius waiting patiently. [color=orange]"Come with me,"[/color] he states calmly, with a tone of command. The warforged follow him obediently out of the rail yard and through the guard station. Therius makes up some story about business in the plains to the east and the group sets off on foot out towards the east. Several miles distance, when the fort is obscured beyond the horizon set up by the low hills, Therius stops and turns to the warforged. [color=orange]"Ah. My job is completed I believe. If there is nothing more you would have of me, I shall take my pay and leave to the north. Your business is your own, and I leave you to it,"[/color] the Human says in a rather passive tone. [color=orange]"If you have need of me, I shall be in Vedykar until other opportunities arise to take me from there. Hopefully, however, this business shall take you far away from me. I would hate to go missing like your friend."[/color] Taking his pay in hand Therius matches his actions to words. Meanwhile the 'forged maintain a moment of mild shock from the losses they have suffered in the weeks since leaving Juarin's side, only two of the three having actually begun the journey. However, they too must continue on their quest, and the two larger 'forged begin the fast walk to the south while their smaller companion keeps up a soft run with his well-machined and maintained body. Several days of maintained marching later, the warforged find the construction site they are looking for over the crest of a hill. Taking a few steps back down the hill to cover their presence from prying eyes they take a moment to plan. The fortress-to-be stands a mile to the southwest, over terrain which slopes shallowly towards it. The southwestern tower is completely built, and the south and west walls appear to be mostly finished. The northern and eastern walls, closest to the party of warforged behind their hill, are slowly coming together, however the project is far from finished. The warforged work crews appear to be working tirelessly on the building, and a roughtrod path leading due east out of the worksite is constantly occupied by atleast two enslaved warforged, each carrying a large stone block back towards the building from what is evidently a quarry. There is a loose patrol system consisting of skeletal sentries walking in groups of three at a distance of a quarter mile from the walls of the fortress. Also, walking along the path to and from the quarry, which sits on the eastern side of a steep hill, are a pair of animals that appear to be canine, yet reflect the sunlight like metal. There is a small, crude hut to the north of the fortress. There appear to be no quarters for the warforged. The 'forged are not chained, however any 'forged who steps out of line along the walk to the path gets a nip from the creatures, and none approach the skeletal sentries during the short view the group takes of the scene.
