Spider's Path

Lora clenched her teeth and bore a hole trough Onesimus's bue eyes with her own azure orbs, that were now filled with ice. Deep down she liked other blue eyed people, but that thought could not surface at the moment, due to the more relevant emotions of rage and frustration that had occupied the girls consciousness.

"Hey, last time i checked I volunteered to join this so called "army"! And not that it matters, but I am not getting paid for my services either. So if I don't like the leadership I damn well have the right to speak up!"

Lora was never one to adhere to laws or respond well to authority, and after her misfortune with the militia she had grown even more rebellious in nature.

Trinham carefully avoids looking at Lora as he says in a voice totally void of any emotions. "Onesimus' right. I don't know about the rest of you but I agreed to accept the duke's orders when I join the army and I don't break my word. He appointed Martomum as our team leader, so at the end of the day what we do next is his decision. It is also his prerogative to decide how much information he gives us. However, the way I interpreted his comments is that he would like our suggestions before making his decision.

Personally, I don't believe that we should split the party. But I only have a rudimentary grasp of tactics, so what do I know.

As to what to do next. If we obey orders we need to continue our mission to the manor. If we have any discretion then we should decide what will benefit the duke the most?


[sblock=OOC]Just justifying a chaotic obeying orders.[/sblock]
 

"Spitin' ups hmm.." the dwarf starts to say, as Lora interjects. Listening to her and Onesimus "debate" the dwarf just shakes his head. " Allees be to stron' a wiurd fir wats Bear done, ta gnolls 'ill be demsevles, an a tat means day treats repecks wit repecks. 'Buts we's be goin nomuir ta nites. Ye shuild 'est a bit 'irst. Everone takin ta yuir 'est we's tart earlee on da morrow."

Martomum nods to Trinham's words, "One in charge, means one ta blame, buts a good leader listens ta alls fir he give an order. Guid nites greenies."




[sblock=OOC] No further questions or comments and I will post the next morning (that I am working on) Should you wish to do anything before bed just post it up. I will probably post the next day this time tommorrow. [/sblock]

Lora shook her head with lack of comprehension. "I... What? Can you say that in Common please?" The please wasn't truly representing a feeling of politeness, but Lora was past the point of caring.
 

"Dan's 'arth ina eared greenies." the dwarf mumbles to himself. "Ta gnolls repecks yuir fights skills. Tey 'nose ye 'elp kills da Madd Eatercapp, an a ye did no runs furms dem. So's in a mornin we wills see what ta do fir ours new 'al-lees'," he says pointedly to everyone making sure they understand him.
 

Onesimus listens to Lora's response with a blank expression on his face. Mostly apathy. He hears but doesnt quite fully grasp what the dwarf says, but he does understand the part of go to bed. He stands and beings to collect all the equipment he lent out and begins to reorganize his pack and do general upkeep on weapons and armor. Then he crawls into his bedroll and welcomes sleep quickly hoping it will help him recover his strength and from his injuries.
 

As Onesimus speaks of a chain of command and orders and the like, Aidan spat. "Iunno about you, but I ain't swore nothin' 'er put mah name on nothin' so I ain't technically part o' nothin' so I kin speak mah mind. Pa warned me 'bout people tellin' me about chains of command, 'e sayed if I ain't careful... 'ey coul' be worse 'an real ones..." He drifted off as Martomum spoke up, nodding as he shuddered slightly, feeling his knees nearly buckle from fatigue and the aftereffects of the poison that flowed through his veins. He positioned himself to sleep near where Lora is, without being too close as to be awkward, his gear close by as the boy tried to rest, still silently berating himself for being so useless.
 

Lora was vexed, but also quite tired. Seeing as how the dwarf obviously lacked the intellect to speak coherently or explain the gibberish he had spouted earlier, the girl exhaled with frustration and went to fix up her bedroll.

The young Wizard missed her tent, but then again it would have been too tedious to set it up after such a long day. She also felt dirty and sticky with sweat after the fighting and marching, but there was no chance of her being able to wash in private for now.

When she came back, she saw Aidan's silhouette lying in the scarcely light space to her left. "Well at least you still have your wits about you, try not to lose that attitude of yours. - the girl spoke with a lower tone. - when i remember how Dellex's men treated us and the other irregulars i really don't think myself a part of an army."

Lora suddenly remembered that if everyone was preparing to sleep, they could be ambushed and slaughtered in their bedrolls. "So - the girl raised her voice. - which two are taking first watch? Or you'd rather all sleep and take your chances with the dog-men or whatever else might be prowling around these woods at night?"
 

"Wathces day be da sames as ta a'ther nites. Just gets sume 'est lass. We's be saves wit Year's Long 'ere." Martomum says as he takes the chest over closer to the fire. The dwarf seems not ready to bed down as he takes some items out of his pack and sits before the closed chest.


[sblock=OOC] ML let me know if you need a translation LOL :p because I don't want my players not knowing what Martomum is trying to say. The characters on the other hand are on their own.

ghostcat and FM left to see if they want to do any pre-bedtime activities, I ask because of Claudes new abilities ;) Still gonna post tommorrow afternoon when I am at the library we can always backtrack I guess[/sblock]
