He hustles up behind her, turning to face him Alriand gets out a "hello" before Tharhack grabs her by the neck and slams her into the house."What manner of death did you bring upon us?" Tharhack demands"I don't know what you're talking about." Alriand replies"Don't offer me your half truths and understatements, this carnage could've been avoided." Tharhack answers "I want to know who you've ticked off this time, I'm not going to be killed because of what you don't tell me.""Well, there's lots of people it could be, you'll have to be more specific." Alriand says "Old lady, sorcerer, wants you dead. Close enough?" Tharhack asks"Mom?" Alriand asks"Don't be stupid. She wants you to meet her tonight." Tharhack relates the directions to Alriand."I'm busy tonight, tell her next week is better." Alriand answers"You have two choices, mine or hers. Please pick mine." Tharhack says as he flexes his muscles while getting a better grip around Alriand's neck."I choose my foot." Alriand states as she kicks Tharhack in the groin dropping the big man like a sack of potatoes. "I make my own path, not one dictated by you. I also think we need to cut off your steroids, they're making your marble shrink."Tharhack didn't pay attention to where Alriand left to, he concentrated on not throwing up. Finally making it up to his feet, Tharhack enters the home and calls out for Rebrey."I had some time to study this liquid while I was tending to the pyre." Tharhack says holding up a flask with a thick red liquid in it. "I think this will help your arm heal fully, much better than I could do."Taking the bottle from Tharhack, Rebrey sniffs it and pulls back from the smell. "Smells like orc sweat. This'll probably make me so delusional that I'll think my arm is fine.""Trust me, it'll work." Tharhack responds, leaving Rebrey and going to check on Xanoniel who's still resting.Rebrey hesitates for a moment before downing the entire bottle. Gagging at the bitterness of the stuff, Rebrey doesn't notice the faint yellow glow around his arm as the bone completely heals itself at the break. Tharhack returns to Rebrey and shows him his healed arm, elated Rebrey offers to help Tharhack round up Alriand.Returning to the street, Tharhack and Rebrey see the halflings cleaning up the debris left from the battle, even in the dark, cold and rainy night. "I feel sorry for them, it's not been an easy week." Rebrey remarks"True, but they will be better for it, and Rillkep has overcome whatever fear was holding him back. I think this village is in much better hands now than they were even two days ago." Tharhack answers"What now then?" Rebrey asks"We need to make sure whatever Alriand threw on us is dealt with, Then we need to decide what to do with her. Let her go or put a tighter leash on her." Tharhack responds"What about the Hamlet? How long should we stay?" Rebrey asks"Not long, I think the sooner they get back to normal the better, that will only be hindered by our presence." Tharhack answers"I'd like to asks Xanoniel to join us." Rebrey states"I'm sure that's not all you'd like to ask her." Tharhack replies"Um, no I uh think her talents could be of some us to us." Rebrey stammers"Have you ever traveled with a druid? First they talk to the squirrels, then they become a squirrel, they ain't right in the head. They're not normal." Tharhack states"You're not normal. Besides, you have to admit that she did help defeat the ogre along with Rillkep. I just think we should ask that's all." Rebrey says"Fine we'll ask." Tharhack says "Now where could that elf have gone?" Tharhack and Rebrey walk past the pyre and turn to look back at the Hamlet, the bright orange glow of the fire behind them. They fail to notice a lone figure making it's way northeast away from the Hamlet and towards the tree line. Alriand however sees Tharhack and Rebrey clearly outlined by the glow from the fire, she however fails to see the pair of watching eyes peering out from the underbrush of the tree line.</blockquote>
