[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 2814214, member: 2012"] [COLOR=DarkOrange][B]Chapter Two[/B][/COLOR] Jeddar rose to his feet slowly with a bit of a wobble. The trip through the Silver Gate was still wreaking havoc on his senses. His vision was clearer but everything was spinning, as if someone had hit him on the head. He could smell a horrible stench and hear muffled voices. The voices seemed angry, but he couldn’t make out what they were saying. “Well, get up you,” Dvalin approached the elfin boy with anger and suspicion. Many highwaymen were known for pretending to need help or be sodden internally. Jeddar shook his head and groaned. He felt like he was going to be sick and the thought spurred the action to its smelly conclusion. He’d already churned out half of his last meal moments before, but he’d never remember that it had happened, even years later. “Disgusting, just let him rot on the road, driver. I must get my niece to Fruen as soon as possible.” Lord Sans Windson, a portly, stuffy human passenger that Dvalin had agreed to take on in the City-state of Ciros, complained. “Begging your pardon, sir, but that is my wagon and it’s not going anywhere until it’s fixed. As for this elf, he owes me for the damages, or at least his kin will if he turns out to be broke.” Dvalin pulled Jeddar up to his feet, looking at the half-elf boy intently for any signs of deception. “Beard! This elf is just a boy and he’s either drunk as a day old badger or he’s sick.” One moment later, Jeddar passed out. “By the Gods, the smell.” Lord Windson stepped up next to Dvalin. “My vote is that he’s nothing more than a drunken wanderer.” “Nay,” Dvalin noted Jeddar’s fine clothes and full pouch. “He’s sick for sure or he wouldn’t be carrying all this coin and have such fine gear.” Dvalin began stripping Jeddar of his valuables. “I say,” Lord Windson put his hand on Dvalin’s shoulder and tried to pull the dwarf away. “I may not agree with this young lad’s behavior but that doesn’t give you the right to rob him.” “Bugger off,” Dvalin grabbed the man’s arm staring him down. “I’m not robbing him.
