"One day, D'orite, your charging into battle will grant you a wound that even my healing will not be able to save," says Bhartus.

He casts another CLW on Jericho.

"One day, D'orite, your charging into battle will grant you a wound that even my healing will not be able to save," says Bhartus.

Jericho chuckles, and cleans his blade shouldering his shield, "Bah, I got plenty of good years left in this life, I may be reckless, but us D'orites know when to retreat. Or as the dwarves say, attack in the opposite direction."

Jericho makes his way back to the party, after Bhartus heals him, and has them form up once more, and press on.

"Well done, all," Tarowyn says as the last ogre falls. "No doubt these powerful creatures have gathered some loot from other poor souls who were unable to stand up to their might. Norri, your eye for detail is the best, why don't you retrieve what you can from their corpses? We don't want any dangerous objects falling into the wrong hands because of our negligence."

Jericho nods, "Get on with it wee man, and bring back some nice trinkets for the cuase. Elfy keep a lookout, Whitney and Lady Ebonblade, get undressed and dance for us!"

Jericho laughs outloud, "Just stay alert both of you, bah, damn ogres made me all dirty."

Whitney rolls her eyes and spurs her horse ahead, mist's tail lashing as it emerges from the mane of hair running down Whiteny's shoulders and back.

As she rides forward with her Father's cheif servant. "So, are you going to let me into the joke Kyrie? Why the big smile?"

Norri gives a quick salute and goes about rummaging through the ogres' possessions.

Upon inspection of the orge corpses, Norri discovers two small pouches containing a considerable sum of gold totalling some 1300 or so. Unlike the coins that have circulated through Duvik's Pass, these are imprinted with a profil of man in toga, wearing a crown of thorns.

Norri and Tarowyn: You each recognize the man on the coins as the Emporer of the South, Tacitous III, Tarowyn from his residence in the forests of the Southern Empire, and Norri from his working of the cosmopolitan marketplace of the King's City.

Everyone recieves 266gp.

As the party continues on, Kyrie addresses Whitney, "Oh, stop being so suspicous my Lady. Its just ironic that I have always felt like your patron in the Court of Gellen as we were growing up, but now, thanks to this bloody turn of fate, you are to be mine. I've never felt more disposable, trouncing through this barbaric land; incidently, this is also the first time giants have frightened in places other than legend-inspired childhood dreams. Few in the north have experience with these creatures, even member of the lesser variety such as the ones we just disposed of." She smiles again, "Disposed..there is that word again."

ooc: apologize again for the delays. I will continue this post tommorow.

Jericho listens and pockets the money Norri, returns with, his share of course. He turns to Kyrie, "So ye be seeing, ye in her debt eh? That is kind of funny, well if run into any more giants, they won't stand a chance agaionst the Fist. Lead on elfy, we have an appointment to keep!"

Jericho urges Saladin onward, motioning for Kyrie to come beside him, "Thanks for ye wonderful songs back in the fight, ye voice was very uplifting. So tell me what do you plan to do once this whole mess is resolved?"

Whitney turns her horse so that she falls in beside Kyrie. "Disposed? Kyrie.. you're my father's Castellan.. his right hand, surely you cannot mean that you are .. not anymore?" looks confused.

As Tarowyn again takes the lead and moves the group forward, he turns back to the rest, holding up one of the coins, "This gold may hold a greater threat than those ogres, friends. If the south is funding operations here, we might be in for a quite a bit more trouble..."
