Omar tossed the purse in the air and bowled into the elf, disarming him of his bow, snatching his nocked arrow, and holding the elf up to the now restrained elf's neck. "Go ahead and fire," he said to the other antagonists, "your arrows will pierce your friend before they pierce me."The elves hesitated for a moment, then lowered their bows. With a deep-chested growl, Bostow yanked his axe from the hands of a nearby elf who seemed only too happy to let it go. The half-orc made a sudden posturing to scare the elf off as he returned to the center of the camp. Omar held the elf fast, "Gather the camp," Omar instructed, "let's be gone from this place now."Then, under his breath to the elf he added, "And I don't wish for us to be followed. If I see you again this arrowhead will do more than give you a close shave."The others quickly put their things back into knapsacks. Bostow went from elf to elf, grabbing their bows and snapping them in half. "Now then," Omar said with a bow once preparations to leave had been made, "we will take our leave of your lovely forest."With that, their party scampered out of the woods as fast as their legs could carry them. They marched and trudged and tromped all through the night without stopping for fear that the elves would return with a counter-attack. When at last day was beginning to break they slowed their pace, exhausted from the overnight haul. They didn't even manage to pitch their tents before they were all fast asleep. They slept well into the day, past noon, without even so much as a watch. But the elves did not follow. Whatever the reason for the attempted robbery, it seemed the danger had passed.</blockquote>
