Storms of Change [IC]

He will take a moment to approach the new arrival, who he sees sitting alone watching the group. "Good evening. My name is Aronai. It looks like you have just joined us here in the rear guard. I myself just joined the group earlier today. Welcome to the journey. If today is any indication, it should be quite exciting."

Alyssa gets to her feet, smiling. "Good to meet you. I'm Alyssa. But... what exactly happened today? I'm rather confused, what with the Centaurs and so on."

Rowyn tries to get interested in what the others are doing, but she is tired and worn from the unexpected fight after the day's travel. She sits and eats quietly, every so often casting a glance at Sabala or around the site.

"Well, we came upon the Centaurs as we reached camp here. They were being attacked by a group of bandits. We have many of them bound up over there," he says, pointing to them. The Centaurs are fine now, and we didn't suffer many casualties. Can't say the same for the bandits," he adds with a smile.

"Hmm... well, this does sound like it could be interesting. Do we know anything about the Centaurs? It's not often you run into a pair of centaurs around here, so I'm sure they must have some story to tell. I might go and talk to them myself... but first things first, right?" Alyssa takes a swig of her ale.

“Why am I doing this? So you’ll come back of course!” Stalthas replies to Rowyn. “Maybe you’ll bring more friends too! Don’t worry about paying me, Darien already took care of that. Ye have to eat, don’t you? Even if you’re taking the first watch.”

On hearing Bert’s request for pie, Stalthas jumps up again. “Apple pie? Why yes, we do have apple pie! We picked the apples early. Next week is Earth Week, the end of Summer and the beginning of Fall. That’s when they harvest the apple trees, but we got an early supply. They’re very good, almost fully ripe, with just a wee bit of tartness to them. Hey Bernom! Be a good lad and bring up some apple pie for our guests!”

The young dwarf, who looked like he was getting bored staring at the centaurs, nods at Stalthas and heads down the stairs.

OOC: Backtracking slightly, sorry for not posting earlier:

Zanock is a little stumbled as he's awakened by the others. "Can someone tell me what happened?", he starts, before realizing he's talking in orc. Repeating in common: "Someone say what happened?"

OOC: Zanock doesn't consider being offered to pick from the loot, since he didn't join into the fight.

Zanock is a little reluclant towards the Dwarves, trying not to draw attention to himself, taking position behind the others.

Perhaps you are correct, if the civilizations fight each other & limit their growth, then the forest would be safer.

Polindun continues speaking with Manzanita. "I meant only that both are Civilizations which consume Nature, not that we benefit from their fighting each other. No one benefits from war."

"The other forest creatures are going to war. The Elves and Gnomes, Orcs and Goblins have all taken sides. But they are all creatures of Civilization as much as they are creatures of the Forest. They do not feel the pain, or see the devastation that is wrought by Civilization even when there is no war. We do not delight in Civilization destroying Civilization. But we will not be used as pawns by either side, even as both sides continue to destroy our World."

Manzanita Sparrow

"You speak truly, Polindum. Good luck to you."

Manzanita turns her attention to the book before heading in for dinner.

Bert

"Someone say what happened?"

Backtracking too: "I think you were affected by some kind of magi.. euhh I mean "shamanic curse" used by one of the bandit. You should be fine now."

The halfling, after ordering his pie with success, goes to see the newcomer, smiling all the while. "Hi there, Alyssa is it ? I'm Filbert Wateryfoot, at your service. I heard you were wondering about the centaurs. They are just travellers, coming back from a meeting with other woodland creatures, or so they say. But enough about them, what about you ? Let me guess: you received a letter from someone of House Dharnan telling you to meet them in Carodan ?" After saying this he thinks to himself. What I'm I doing ? Yapping about the letters again. I told Rowyn not to do that ... Well what is done is done.

OOC: Darien sure is an "equal-opportunity-employer"

Devan eats a little and thanks the dwarves for the food. He then goes and does some target practice with his new bow.
