Hunter Brightwood
Wincing slightly, Hunter sat up and looked at older mage, “I hear you my friend, and I would like nothing better to cast these foul beasts from this world, but I will be honest with you, I’m near my limits.”
Hunter’s face changed from a grimace to a slight smile, “And I may be wrong here, but I don’t think anyone was talking about going all the way back to the city. My thought was that we would head back to Hiddell’s ranch and rest for the night, and hopefully get a bath for our, . . .ripe smelling companion.”
Hunter rolled his neck and a slight crack of his joints sounded, “But if you would rather us fortify our position here and try to rest for the night, I say we put it up for a vote. And while I understand your position, I must say I vote for retreating back behind the walls of Hiddell’s compound for the night, we are no use to anyone dead.”
