Message: <blockquote data-quote="DrZombie" data-source="post: 1700261" data-attributes="member: 15640">Nate's jaws clench when he's interrupted by the sergeant. When the fat oaf stops speaking Nate adresses him in a perfectly neutral voice, saluting him as if he's the general himself."Excuse me sir. I seem to have forgotten my silk stockings, Sir. You'll notice there's a bandage on my foot instead, Sir. A fierce wound from a knotted stocking, remarkably shaped as an arrow wound, Sir. In fact, Sir, Oscar de Reign got his stocking so knotted he was heavily wounded, Sir. As a matter of fact, his wounds reopened, although they were healed magically. The priests were baffled, although I'm quite sure you can reassure them that knotted stocking injuries can be quite fierce, Sir. So fierce, in fact, that from the seven that left Seven, I'm the only one that made it here, Sir. With your permission I'll finish my report to the Reeve and then hurry back to untie the Captain Commanders stockings, Sir." With a crisp salute he then turns to the Reeve."It's fairly bad out there, sir. Our sergeant got killed yesterday, an acute case of knotted stockings " with a disgusted look at the sergeant " and in a nightly ambush we lost one of our men, Hewik. Hes not the type to run away, but we couldn't find him, nor could we find any tracks. There's several bands of goblins around, mounted on worgs. We managed to avoid most of 'em. They attacked and killed armed merchants with guards about an hour from the city. We took some prisoners there. They talk about a goblin king uniting the tribes. It is not their way but apparently he's succeeding. I'd take this very seriously. I've lost six good friends trying to deliver this message. Being prepared never hurt anyone. The least you could do is take off your silk stockings." "I'm sorry sir, but we're wounded, tired , dirty and hungry. We need a bath, food and if there's some healing someone could offer we'd be more than happy. You'll need to appoint a new sergeant amongst us, and we need new equipment and supplies if there's any to be had. We've got some more communities to warn, and I plan on leaving very early tomorrow." With that, Nate stops, gives the sergeant another dirty look, and steps back.</blockquote>
