[QUOTE="megamania, post: 6844520, member: 9255"] SIBERYS SEVEN 004 SEAWALL MOUNTAINS SEGMENT 060 “EMPLOYMENT WITH ORIEN” NYMM 5 , 999 In the morning, they travel to the nearby town. They find it is clearly a gnomish town as most of the buildings and roads are sized for the small figures of Gnomes. Finding House Orien was easy if only it stood so much taller than the other buildings. The man running the house turned them down for work until they learned of Dura’s background. It pleased the man to hire a relative of Kim to do manual work of guarding a caravan. It is going from Thurimber to Trolanport. It will take 20 days as the Orien road makes a wide circle around the forest. The caravan is transporting various wood and basic mineral items. When asking, they learn there has been a lot of Ogre activity on the caravan route. This comes as no surprise to the group. NYMM 10, 999 “The road is getting close to the forest again. We should be cautious.” Suggests Vander. “Careful…. There may be more raccoons there.” Jokes Mania. The prior night, Vander woke the entire party up during his watch since he heard a noise in the dark. It was a raccoon. A normal and simple raccoon. Mania has been reminding him of it ever since. “How did I get to scout ahead with you?” “Incarnum says it was better for him. Go figure.” Says the rogue with a smile. “At least you don’t have to listen to Gallard while up here.” “He is a fool.” “He is also second in command with the caravan we are charged with protecting. Doesn’t that make you wonder?” Vander waits for the rogue’s point. “The house hired the seven of us to protect the caravan. Why so much?” “They underestimate our combative skills.” “Leeya looks like a warrior? No….. they are expecting trouble.” “Said there were Ogres.” “But with some specialized training and at least a little smarts Ogres can be easily defeated.” “Like at the gnome’s farm?” “Funny. Two nights ago I looked into what we are guarding. Basic goods. Not worth hiring the seven of us and the three Orien agents.” “Anyone ever say you are nosey and should mind your own business.” “Mew. Whatever.” Smirks the rogue. Suddenly he becomes serious and looks back from his horse. “What is that?!?” Vander is already turning his horse around. Something is flying down out of the sky behind them near the caravan. A green colored winged reptile lands close to the caravan. It roars and threatens the Oriens. “Drake!” calls out Leeya. She casts her most powerful spell knowing how dangerous the creatures can be. The extreme cold washes over it making its wings brittle. Incarnum, not riding a horse due to his weight and ability to never tire, steps up and attacks. Bora dismounts and pulls out her large weapon. The others hold their position including the Orien caravan employees. Kallia d”Orien calls out warnings. The Forest Drake is after the horses. The drake snaps at the warforged but misses. Leeya’s fireball finishes it off before Bora can attack or the scouts arrive. “That is no Ogre.” States the rogue as he looks at the steaming corpse of the frozen then burned Drake. [/QUOTE]
