Message: <blockquote data-quote="SpiritMonger" data-source="post: 17505" data-attributes="member: 2056">maps cont.After exiting the inn, the two ran into some beggars. They eyed Nipper like a fresh porkchop."How much do you want for the dog, sir?""He’s not for sale."  Snumpkin snapped.They talked to the beggars for a while.  The beggar eyed the dog for a while, until Snumpkin decided to take the three beggars into the inn and buy them some food.  After some arguing with the barkeep Snumpkin managed to arrange breakfast for them, but he was not content with just that.  He had to see if it was being cooked properly.  He walked right up into the kitchen and was soon followed by a rather large man who had been sitting at the bar.  Kyren followed…Soon after Snumpkin was assured that the food was being fixed properly and they were being treated just and fair.  He paid and they left.After a short visit at a temple dedicated to Tyr they decided to head out west toward the Thunder Peaks.  (The two had noticed all the way through town, that they seemed to be followed by one person or another.   They even managed to chase one fellow down but lost him in the alleys.  Nipper was always uptight and sniffing.)Along the way the two adventurers heard some battle sounds that clanked off in the distance but closed quickly.  A goblin popped over a ridge and headed their way.  An arrow followed him.  Soon many goblins poured over the ridge and all running straight for them.  Then suddenly they stopped and took up defensive positions, but not in their direction.  They were facing back up the ridge.  Goblins ran over the hill followed by arrows and then orcs appeared.  It was obvious that the two had just stepped into a war.  Deciding not to engage any of the goblins or orcs they decided to ride through.  After clearing the battle and not engaging a single creature they heard the battle die off suddenly.  As a matter of a fact they heard nothing.  Kyren did notice a large shadow moving across the ground.  He quickly gazed at the burning sun to catch a glimse of something very large.  They rode on…quickly.After traveling a while they came across an ambush.  Two goblins waiting behind a tree.  Seemed easy enough.  Snumpkin rode up on Nipper and with his spear pinned one to the tree.  Kyren wasn’t so lucky though.  He missed on several attempts to bash his opponent with his mace.  Snumpkin pulled the spear from the impaled goblin and noticed more on the other side of the road.  He quickly nudged nipper into action and with spear still fresh with goblin blood rode to the second.  He practically rode through this one impaling it and flipping it over his head on his way to his third victim.  Kyren managed to finally land a severe blow to the head of his enemy, crumpling it to the earth.  Snumpkin with the fury of a wild man rode to his second.  This time he wasn’t as agile as before, but after two attempts the goblin lay at his feet.  Kyren turned to see another goblin behind him.  This one though had an arrow straight through the back.  Whatever killed this one was behind them.  Snumpkin rode over after inspecting his prey and congradulated Kyren on his kill.  Then noticing the arrow he inspected it.  It was an arrow of very good quality, this was certain.  Not a goblin or orc arrow.  They decided to continue after wrapping the arrow and storing it.Not long after they were in the Thunder Peaks.  On the map it indicated a place marked the Rock Fields.  They could see why.  Rocks were everywhere.  Every shape and size was present.  It was getting night fall once again, so they made camp.  Sometime during the night they heard some rocks falling and noticed a campfire in the distance.  They decide to wait until morning to check it out.</blockquote>
