[QUOTE="silentspace, post: 1224258, member: 14316"] Elsewhere/elsewhen in the Duchy… Aronai sat before the Druid Elders. What did he do now, he wondered? Seems like they thought being a druid was like being a dryad or something, stuck to one tree all your life! What did they have against travel? Sure, he understood there were many dangers about in the Duchy today, but what was the point of being a druid if you didn’t get to see more of nature? The Druid Elders looked at him disapprovingly. Aronai wondered what they were going to say to him this time. That was when the rider appeared. She went up to the Druid Elders, conferring with them. The Elders nodded, and pointed at Aronai! Bowing to the Elders, the rider approached Aronai with a message scroll. -- Aronai waited by the side of the road. This was the day the caravan was supposed to come. Finally, he saw it approaching in the distance, through the rain and mist. Just as the caravan reached him, it came to a stop. They didn’t have to stop for me, Aronai thinks! He approaches the guards, who tell him he should speak to Darien, who’s just ridden to the back of the caravan, with the rear guard. As Aronai arrives in the back, he just barely spots a dwarf hiding behind the last wagon! Passing by him, he sees a group of orcs facing a mixed group of humans, with a gnome, a halfling, an elf, and another orc thrown in! Quite an unusual group. Was this the rear guard? And who was Darien? That could be anyone. Maybe the orc. He seemed to be in negotiations of some sort with the other orcs. Aronai was just behind the orc, and next to a mounted woman who was holding her hood tightly about her face, no doubt to keep the rain out. [/QUOTE]
