Tharhack determines he's lying on his back facing the sky, turning his head he sees a large fire raging under the carcass of a boar. Tharhack sees Gothmog poking a stick at the boar, looking intently at the cooking meat. Tharhack tries to sit up, but excruciating pain erupts up his chest. Tharhack falls back down with a groan."TharHACK wake up?" Gothmog asks"Yes, I take it you found me bleeding by the river?" Tharhack replies"Gothmog find you, help stick chest back together." comes the response"What of the witch? Did I get her?" Tharhack asks"No, but TharHACK kill squirrel good. Gothmog not know what squirrel did to make TharHACK mad, but you kill dead." Gothmog replies"What happened to the with then?" Tharhack asks"Fall in river, float away from Gothmog." comes the answer"She could be stalking us as we speak, how long have I been unconscious?" Tharhack asksGothmog closes his eyes, and thinks "Seven suns." comes the reply"What! I've been out for seven days? I'm never going to catch up to Xanoniel now." Tharhack says pounding the ground with his fists"We reach old man tower tomorrow." Gothmog says"No, we won't we're almost eight days away at least." Tharhack answers rolling over to his side, and propping himself up on all fours"Yes, tomorrow. Gothmog saw tower today. We be there tomorrow." Gothmog repliesFrustrated Tharhack drops the subject, he would have to pray almost the whole night to regain his lost spells. Then he would have to use most of them just to be well enough to run for most of tomorrow. Gothmog tears off some rib meat and hands it to Tharhack."Outside little crunchy, but underneath is good. Gothmog not good cook." Gothmog says apologeticallyTharhack takes the meat and gnaws off a chunk, trying to think of a way to catch up to Xanoniel.********************************************************************************************************************Rebrey got up to search for the morning's breakfast, Xanoniel suggested he find some fish as they had already eaten two deer on this journey, and she was afraid of angering them if anymore were taken. Rebrey kneeled at the river's edge and waited for fish to swim by, he had caught two already and was waiting for one more to catch before heading back to camp. Looking at himself in the water's reflection, Rebrey thought he needed a shave. He planned to get Alriand's knife and ask Xanoniel to shave him once breakfast was over. Rubbing he hand through his stubble, Rebrey saw the water darken with a huge shape."Man show Gothmog how to catch fishys" The huge man boomed out at RebreyRebrey stumbles backwards and pulls out his heavy flail. "What do you want beast?" Rebrey asks. The huge man wore a plate mail made of stone, it's brooding eyebrows extended over it's eyes, which glowed an eerie red in the morning sun. "Gothmog want to know how to catch fishys, you show Gothmog?" Comes the reply"Look, I don't have time to teach you. Just reach in and grab them. I've got to go back to my camp, my mercenary company has to feed fifty people." Rebrey lies, trying to intimidate the man"You have camp, Gothmog has camp. Gothmog only have one friend there though." Comes Gothmog's reply"Well I need to get back to my camp." Rebrey answers picking up the two fish he had caught. "Um, bye." Gothmog waves bye, and smiles a toothy shark like smile, Gothmog bends down and looks into the river. "Maybe TharHACK like fish better."Rebrey who was backing away quickly. wasn't paying attention to what the man was saying until the word Thrahack."What? What did you say? Tharhack?" Rebrey asks stunned"Gothmog friend, named TharHACK. We go to old man tower today." Gothmog says looking up at RebreyRebrey's world reeled, he hadn't seen Tharhack in almost eight days, he thought about asking Gothmog to take him back to see Tharhack. Then Rebrey wondered why Tharhack was behind them, should he be scouting in front of them? Something wasn't right, and it was enough to make Rebrey second guess himself. "Well tell Tharhack, Xanoniel thinks he's doing a great job." Rebrey answers "Gothmog hear that name before, TharHACK ask witch where Xanoniel take Alriand. TharHACK say he find Xanoniel then kill her." Gothmog repliesSomething was definitely wrong now, Rebrey bid Gothmog good day, and sprinted back to his camp. "I met a huge ugly orc, he said that Tharhack was talking with a witch about where you were taking Alriand, and that he's coming to kill you. What the hell is going on?" Rebrey questions Xanoniel"He's been subverted, we have no time. We have to make it to the tower before Tharhack does, and stops us from saving Alriand." Xanoniel replies"That doesn't make any sense, why would Tharhack not want us to save Alriand?" Rebrey asks"The witch must've worked a spell on him just like Alriand, she's probably controlling every move he makes." Xanoniel says"Well he's behind us, the man made it sound as though they've never been in front of us. How could he be scouting ahead?" Rebrey asks"Hey! Who are you going to believe? Some idiot orc, or the woman who's bed you've shared the last five nights with?" Xanoniel questioned, running her hands through Rebrey's hair."Do that trick with your eyes again." Rebrey asks forgetting why he was so upset "Of course." Came Xanoniel's reply as she looked into Rebrey's eyes*******************************************************************************************************************"Gothmog bring back fishys to cook, also met human who said, tell TharHACK that Xanoniel think you doing good job." Gothmog says throwing the fish on a flat stone Tharhack had placed over the fire this morning so that Gothmog wouldn't char anymore food."Rebrey, you met him at the river? he's here? How?" Tharhack rapid fired questions at Gothmog"Man show Gothmog how to get fishys out of water. Gothmog tell man we go to tower of old man." Gothmog relates"I've no time for breakfast, I've got me a druid to squish." Tharhack answers quickly gathering his belongs up"That OK Gothmog eat fishys not cooked." Gothmog grabs the fish off the stone, and kicks the stone down into the fire, then kicks snow on top of the stone and fire. "Gothmog ready help kill Xanoniel."</blockquote>
