Tharhack goes to check out Alriand's forearm. Rebrey feeds the halfling child the last bit of stale bread he was carrying, and walks over to inspect the dead fox."ow, make sure you heal the whole wound up, I don't want to get lycanthropy or rabies." Alriand whines to Tharhack."hmmm, yeah. That could be the least of your worries, if I don't do this correctly you could catch Elf Rot. That would be a tragedy." Tharhack tells her."Elf Rot? Now you're just making stuff up." Alriand accuses Tharhack."NO, it's true." Rebrey chimes in "I read it somewhere, terrible disease. About wiped out a whole forrest of elves. I'd be careful if I was you.""now you're both being jack-holes, hork and rye-bread* , that almost sounds like something I threw up once." Alriand responds"first your gums start to bleed, then your ears droop, and your eyes turn brown." Tharhack tells her, ignoring Alriand's comments."then you actually grow four inches! After the chip on your shoulder falls off." Rebrey continues.Alriand just stares at Rebrey and tries to kick him but can't quite reach. "you're so full of it, your eyes have already turned brown." Alriand counters"Ahem, might I be of 'ssistance?" a voice comes out from behind Alriand and Tharhack.Startled Tharhack and Alriand jump up to their feet, and about stumble over each other as they turn to get a look at the small face staring back at them. "'Ello name's Drodgy. I'm from the 'Amlet 'o Thumble. 'eard of it? Drodgy says as he stares at Tharhack's waist."Eh, actually we were headed back there ourselves." Tharhack tells the halfling while trying to divert his attention upwards, so Tharhack can look the halfling in his eyes. "Amazing huh?" Tharhack continues while flexing his abs."what?" Drodgy says as he shakes his head and looks up at the big 1/2 orc. "Aw, someone who loves your muscles almost as much as you do Tharhack." Alriand tells Tharhack, then turns to face the halfling. "How'd you find us in all this fog? and How'd you get past that roving pack of bloodthirsty werewolves that just attacked us?""well, er. I um. Luck I 'uess." Drodgy stammers. Rebrey smelling a rat, circles around the tree where he has been skinning the fox, so as to position himself behind the halfling. Just in case. Drodgy sees Rebrey making his move and lunges for a pouch on Tharhack's belt. Stunned at the halfling's action, Tharhack manages to swat away Drodgy's first hand, but not his second. Drodgy grabs the pouch and takes off to Tharhack's right, trying to keep the party behind him. Alriand's brain takes but a second to process that the halfling is running off with the gem that fell off the polymorphed dead halfling back at last night's camp. She takes off after the halfling determined to get that gem at all costs. Rebrey takes off after the halfling as well, not knowing why the halfling is running only that he's running away from them, and towards where the foxes retreated. Alriand comes close a couple of times to reaching the halfling but, he seems to know the landscape very well, and is able to dodge stones, branches, puddles, and trees better than Alriand. Rebrey however, not wanting to run around the woods chasing after a halfling and elf while carrying a child around with him, tries to keep forcing the halfling to slowly, without it realizing it run back towards Tharhack. After forty-five minutes of running around Rebrey succeeds. Drodgy runs towards a tree and dodges to the left, when Tharhack steps out from behind the tree and lets the halfling run smack into him, knocking him on his rear. Alriand comes running up behind him dagger drawn, and bloodlust in her eyes as she turns the halfling's back into a small bull's eye. Tharhack scoops the halfling off the ground, as Alriand comes to a sliding halt. "put him down! So I can see what color he bleeds." Alriand pleads with Tharhack. Drodgy however just sticks his tongue out at the elf. Alriand lunges for the halfling which causes the halfling to try and scurry over Tharhack's back. This causes Drodgy to lose his grip on Tharhack's pouch he had stole, and it falls to the ground, plopping in a small puddle. There is a brief instance where no body moves, then a flurry of activity as Alriand dives for the pouch at the same time Drodgy leaps off Tharhack and onto the puddle. Tharhack lets them roll around in the mud for a couple of minuets before puling them up and apart from each other. Holding each one at arms length, Tharhack asks Rebrey to get some rope and to double tether Drodgy and Alriand together. After both Alriand and Drodgy have been joined at the wrist and ankle, Tharhack bends down and picks up his now empty pouch. "what are you going to do with them?" Rebrey asks Tharhack over the cries of unfairness from the elf and haling. "A little experiment." Tharhack says while digging around in the muddy puddle. "Well, looks like someone stole the halfling's gem." Tharhack says to Alriand and Drodgy. "I wonder which one of you has it?"*rye-bread = Alriand's derogatory mauling of Rebrey's name.</blockquote>
