[QUOTE="EarlyBird, post: 7221549, member: 6899077"] After leaving the others off at the inn, Hexiros and Templeton continue on with Javin to the local teamster. Tired, they watch as Javin pounds on the door, and then argues with the man who answered about the late hour. Eventually the man gives in and orders Javin to bring his carts around back. Minutes later, body running on empty, the carts are secured and the horses are almost completely brushed down. Javin and the teamster walk by and one word perks up both sets of ears... [COLOR=#2F4F4F] "...bandits it was."[/COLOR] The teamster says finishing his sentence.[COLOR=#2F4F4F] "I lost a horse, cart, and the poor souls driving her. The way north isn't safe, you may..."[/COLOR] [COLOR=#A52A2A] "Neither is the way south,"[/COLOR] Javin interrupts. [COLOR=#A52A2A]"I'll sell you my extra cart, make up for what those dog-men took and with one cart not bogged down I may be able to outrun whatever tries to rob me. Men or dogs." [/COLOR] They continue on past, haggling prices as they go. With everything done Templeton and Hexiros stand before Javin as he counts out the other half of the pay for their services.[COLOR=#A52A2A] "Sorry, that this is the end of our arrangement, not sure what lies ahead.
