"I wonder where this is going" Anderian says to Holland in halfling with a smirk on his face. "Then again, if worst comes to worst, I say we ditch the dwarf"

It seems your party is ready to go, two halflings riding together, and a dwarf and human together. As you leave the gate the gatekeepers bids you well as he shuts and locks it behind you. There is a main road leading to the outlying community but Brechin realizes that the road will most likely be watched if these orcs have any sense he also remembers that there is a backroad but it will be slower and longer.

[OOC: Haha! Brechin was the only one to make the intelligence check.]
 

The dwarf hears Brechin. "So the road must be watched. So what? The sun shines and that makes orc´s head to go dizzy and their eyes hurt: they don´t like it. And if we hide our amor and weapons they could mistake us for farmers or peaceful travellers, not waiting a fierce dwarf and some would-be orc slayers. That´s the best way to find one of those green pests, and maybe take a prisoner that can tell about their defenses, how many of them are, and how much gold they hide."
 

"As long as I don't get hit by any of their weapons it's fine by me," says Anderian, agreeing with the dwarf, "And we'll have to start sooner or later, so why not start now."
 

Turning towards the other halfling, Holland winks. In halfling, he replies "You just have to know how to talk to him."

He then turns to the dwarf and in the dwarves own language says "AH, but temple goods can ussually be identified. It's a lot of trouble selling such goods. It probably be better just to give them back to the appropreate temple and recieve the reqard for it's return. Oft timeds the reward is scaled to the physical value and sentimental value of the object in question. Selling such an item, you are lucky to recieve half the value of its physical value."

Plus, you don't possably gain the entity of a powerful orginization. he thinks as he rides on.

Replying to the concern about orcs re replyes "I agree with the dwarf, though not for the same reasons." in halfling he adds "of course", and returns to common for the rest. "If we can apprehend one of the orcs for questioning, then we can assertain more information then just blindly loking for them. Anyone here speak orcish? I don't"

Nor do I want to! He finishes in his mind.
 

(OOC: I have the dwarf riding with me!?! Not sure Brechin would trust him that much...? And Brechin was the only one who made the int check? That rocks! Hehe)

The young paladin shakes his head to the Halfling's last comment.

He also agree'd mostly with the Dwarf's plan, though he makes it known that he does not agree with the idea of taking off his armour.

I'll pull my cloak about me to hide my personage, but there's no way I will remove my armour and weapons when we are dealing with orcs!

Tugging at his cloak, Brechin makes sure his acoutriments are covered and that no glint of metal should show to those who would spy from afar.

(OOC: though, how well done he did it, is another matter. )

I'll lead the party - better that I take the brunt of any oncoming assault. I am not sure you small ones are suited for such a risk.

Then he adds, No offense intended mind. Looking back hopeful that he did not insult the smaller men by the comment.

"Never said that. Only 'hide', not 'remove'" says the dwarf, at the same time he removes his own cloak and stabs it in the middle with his shortsword, making an improvised and awkward poncho where to hide his own armor, weapons, and more important, hands.
 

Holland only shrugs, his two daggers and walking stick probably do nto look like much, and he knows that he does not look threatening. He placed the walking stick in one ot the saddles anyway.

"Ready!" he says after about 2 seconds of preparation.
 

Anderian raises his arms and looks down at himself...only a bag of herbs and a short spear. He shrugs, "I guess I'm ready too"
