(RP) Dangerous Legacy

Gemble... and according to the map, you should be able to follow the river east toward lake enber, which you would follow around to Enberton... but about a day's trip east along the river, you will come to Bobbit, the "capital" (if there is such a thing) of the halflings.

The sky opens up to the sun and it is a sunny, clear day, as it usually is in Enber. There is still a chill in the air as you begin to march down river from the shadows of the large trees. It is a very pretty and serene march, with the river on your left, burbling softly to itself and keeping pace with you. Gemble tosses several pinecones into the water to watch their progress and most travel throughout the day with you.

Lunch comes and is relaxing and made up of some nuts found by Erlik and Gemble not far away, cheeses, some summer sausage and bread... easy and quick, less than 20 minutes in all.

Jaeden is in a particularly good mood throughout the day, singing upbeat songs. All songs requested are sung, except for "Thauron's Run" which Jaeden complains is too grim for this wonderful day.

Just after lunch, you come upon a road... a rather small road that Gemble confirms is the makings of the Halflings of the Lomus Valley. Soon you begin to see signs of life as halfling cottages pop up here and there and the occasional halfling sleeping on the poarch or bounding through a field, or even fishing in the river. The road greatly increases your pace down river and you make great time.

Well after Nightlite, when the sun has dip behind the tall mountain of the west but still lights the sky in a brilliant light blue with purple sneaking up the sky from the east, you arrive at Bobbit. The quaint town is populated by dozens of small "halfling sized" buildings as well as several large sizes that humans and elves can stand up in. There is a short wall and the open gate ahead sports two armed halflings, sound asleep... reminding you a great deal of Tev'El Rhoe.

As you approach, one of the guards stirs. He peeks through a slit in his lids and pops upright, dropping his spear and bounding over to you.

"Oy yo!" he peeps with a huge grin on his round face. "Got a lovely little tidbit here fer ye, carved by me son. Cute lad and talented, aye?" He says, showing off a small wooden sculpture of a lion. "Want to buy it? He'll be famous one day, mark my words! Only a shig (which Gemble tells you is a silver piece). I'd greatly appreciate it. He's dying to carve some fine stone and is selling these to purchase alabaster."

Satisified with the lunch and happy to be moving again Erlik enjoys the pace and Haedens sining makes him forget the strain. Throughout the day he stays up ahead scouting alongside Gemble, alll the easier to avoid the priestess who dishonoured herself in his sight and has become a ghost until she proves herself again.

As the halfling settlement comes into view Erlik is suprised to actually be seeing a world built in miniature. He becomes even more agitated over just how unprepared these halflings appear to be, and if Gmble is anything to go by it isn't going to be easy to get the readied for the dangers which they all now face

"Are we stopping here" he asks "or do we move on?"
 

Liam smiles to himself as he walks along, enjoying the weather and the scenery. The troubles of before seem less disasterous, although Ala's bleak mood causes him some concern. The guards antics at the gate bring a small laugh and he wanders over to look at the lion.

"Well, never let it be said that I was not one to support the arts."

He tosses the guard a silver coin and claims his statuette.
 


Ala walks throughout the day silently, her eyes on her feet where she seems to stare through them moreso than at them. She eats nothing, though she does drink a bit of water now and again...
 


Sonrik steps up to the guard, about to say something, and fumbling for his beltpurse, when Liam steps in front of him, coin in hand. "Ah, Liam," says the young man, "always quick on the draw, eh?" Sonrik flips the silver in the air with his thumb, and catches it again with the same hand, replacing it in his pouch. "Which reminds me of something....."

DM:
Sonrik slips to the side, and secures his purse, INSIDE of his clothes/armor. He would like to trust all and have goodwill, but a town full of Halflings? The Twins favor wisdom as well as trust.
 

Sonrik: [sblock]Hahaha... good thinking :D You tuck the pouch into a safe spot inside your tunic that does not interfere with your movements.[/sblock]

"Ah, I thank you sire, I'll inform Renny of his benefactor." the halfling says with another bow.

Jaeden comes up to Ala, places his arm around her and says "Cheer up, we all make mistakes. No one was hurt."
