[QUOTE="IronWolf, post: 5294925, member: 21076"] Sabern digs in his pack for a couple of bundles of trail rations that he has carefully wrapped in cheesecloth as he listens to the others grumble about the prisoners. [color=lime]"Hard to be heroes if we leave the ones we rescue behind."[/color] Sabern adds to the conversation. [color=lime]"But this place is likely to be well defended if we leave it for the time it would take to hand deliver them back to town."[/color] Pulling the wrapped trail rations from his pack Sabern approaches the makeshift cage and opens the door, the bottom points of the cage dragging across the natural floor of the cavern. Sabern steps in and hands the rations to the prisoners. [color=lime]"Take these and make them last. It will help rebuild your nourishment."[/color] Sabern offers. [color=lime]"My friends and I need to keep pushing these orcs back while we have them on the run if there is to be any safety in this region. These leaves us in a predicament."[/color] [color=lime]"I figure you have two options. You can head back out the way we came in and try to make it back to town on your own. Problem is, some of them nasty orcs made it out of here and likely went that way too and you might run into them out there."[/color] Sabern says. [color=lime]"Or, you can stay here in this cage and look as if you are still prisoners. The orcs will likely be too busy coming after us to pay you much mind as long as they think you are still their prisoners. Of course this means you have to sit here in this cage awhile longer while we rout these orcs from this place. But you have my word that as long as I still breath I will come back for you and get you back to town."[/color] [color=lime]"I wish the situation was different, but those are the best choices we have to offer you."[/color] Sabern finishes.
