OOC: Having hoped that they would accompany these elder heroes, Nijel had just filled his plate and sat down again. Now, seeing his compatriots leaving or preparing to leave, he sighs, looks wistfully at the meal before him, and rises regretfully. Then, an inspiration strikes Nijel, and he withdraws from his pocket a large handkerchief. He places as much of the bacon and sausage from his plate onto the handkerchief as will fit, and wraps it securely into a bundle to hang on the horn of his saddle.
IC: Giving the aged hero a crisp salute, Nijel says, "I always fully resupply whenever I have the opportunity, Sir, because Hunger is an enemy of armies that is every bit as dire as orcs and ogiers. I thank you for your hospitality and bid you safe and uneventful travels."

"Very well, Roak. I believe we have time to assist them prepare, but if you say we must go then I am ready.
"It was an honor to meet you, sirs. I look forward to learning from your experiences at a later time."

To the Lord Marshall
With brisk effiecency the household goods are packed into the wagons and the furniture and other larger items hidden in the cellars along with large bags of grain and seed. Suprising even the party, the men themselves set fire to the barns and homes and as they burn the party realizes how clever the farmers are being. The flames and debris will fall over the entrances to the cellars erasing any signs of their existence. A closer inspection of the wagon shows that they are almost excluively piled high with food stuffs, cheese, smoked meats, fruits as well as kegs of ale and beer.The younger male residents of the farm have the livestock assembled and within five hours the party is ready to set leave. Just as they are preparing to depart, they see smoke clouds once again rise into the sky this time in almost a ring around the farmstead. Having assembled their familes the three older men anounce that they are ready to leave the spokeman saying "We should follow a side trail away from the main road if that is acceptable."
OCC: sorry for the slow posting guys, work has been kicking my butt, i hope the pace will get back to normal for me after next week but i will continue to use the weekends to play catch up.

OOC: Having filled his belly well for the first time in recent memory, Nijel is feeling quite good. While some of his fellows take advantage of this lull in the fighting to sleep, Nijel stands guard over them and patrols the perimeter of our temporary bivouac site.
IC: "Rest well, my friends. After you have slept, perhaps someone can spell me on watch, and I can also rest a bit?"
OOC: As he patrols, Nijel will gnaw on the bacon and sausage that he bundled into his handkerchief, and sip a bit of watered wine from his skin.

"I implore you, Captain Roak, let our weary lads rest for a bit now. They have labored valiantly and with great dedication, but their mortal bodies can only maintain such a taxing pace for a limited time! Even the Lord Marshall would not have us labor until our hearts burst!"
