Ebon: Yes, though i do not know how long he will stay at the location.
Cole: It can wait a while longer.
Ebon: I suppose. Let us get some rest.

In the meantime at Metafoles Camp.

Dist: Bad news just arrived, Ebon, the warrior, has escaped. He must be on his way here.
Richard: Bad news indeed. Though he will never get the sword.
Metafoles: Yes well, well rest here tomorrow and then get going, we are nearing our objective. And besides Hosts old wound has started to bleed again, and i wont let anyone die just yet. We will need everyone...

The sun rises and heralds the day to come. Already could signs be sighted to indicate that the day whould be a warmer one.

((wow havent typed that much in a while))

As the morning comes.. I send Ethan on his way.. As we get out of Ebon's hearing range..

Cole: I want you to stay behind us.. So Ebon doesn't see you.. I don't rust the guy just jet..
Ethan: Fine by me..

We shake hands and part our ways..

[DEALOS]

((hehe, this will bring fun))

[Colton]

So I go back to Ebon..

Cole: Shall we move out..
Ebon: *Stuffing the last piece of meat we had left to his mouth* mhmhh..
Cole: After you then..

We set out to northeast..

[Tratos]

Meanwhile back at the fire clan.
Stone: So you say he actually managed to do it?
Warrior: Yeah, pure magic ore....
Stone: Nice... *gulps a mug of mead*

The chatter between the two gets washed away by the loud noises made by drunk warriors and some occasional screams from brawlers.

Stone: "King's Head Inn". You'd get hanged for this kind of name, if Rhobar were still alive.
Warrior: *drunk* But he ain't.... ahaha *collapses to the ground, passed out from ale*
Stone: And they used to say that the New Camp schnaps was bad....

The tavern is full of life. Without the orcs harrasing them, the clans have greatly expanded. Hunters bring in loads of goods from far and wide and freerange prospectors bring in gold, ore, iron and all sorts of other stuff. Life sure got better in the cold north.

[Colton]

On the way to Richard's campsite..

Ebon: So why are you after them..
Cole: They stole a sword from the king, and I'm to get it back..
Ebon: You mean King Rhobar the second..
Cole: Yeah..
Ebon: Tough luck.. Rhobar has been killed..
Cole: What!?

[Zeri0n]

[Tratos]

whats about this hread anyway???

It's a bit of fantasising and story-telling. Check the first one here. The first post should be explanatory.

[Nefekto]

I go up the small hill and arrive at my destination, a rather large cabin. I knock at the door and wait for an answer.

[Colton]

After a moment of silence..

Cole: Well that puts thing in a perspective..
Ebon: So you wont help me..?
Cole: I will.. He betrayed me and my friends.. Only It's not a matter of money anymore.. It's a matter of revenge..

[Nefekto]

The door opens.

Pedar: Oh it's you. Come in.

I step inside.

[Colton]

After a rather long walk.. Me and Ebon get to a small campsite.. Sadly it is already abandoned..

Ebon: Damn..
Cole: Relax.. We'll find something..

[Hampu]

Ebon: Maybe they left some clues to where they went. Lets check the campsite.
Cole: Good idea.

They search the camp.
Ebon finds a track that leads further north.
He goes back to Cole at the camp.

[DEALOS]

((What do you have in mind now?))

[Colton]

Ebon: I found some track's to the north..
Cole: So lets follow them..

[Hampu]

Ebon and cole set out north following the tracks.

Meanwhile: Metafoles and the boyz set up camp in a cave.

[Colton]

Ebon: These track's were rather fresh.. I belive the left that on morning.. So if we hurry we should get to them, by nighttime..
Cole: Well, we're going as fast as we can already..
Ebon: Right..

[Hampu]

They arrive at a cave about midday. Ebon haers talk and stops. Cole stops to.

Ebon looks inside the cave and sees the Boys at a small fire. One of them is holding a sword. That must be Metafoles, Ebon thinks to himself. He goes back to cole.

Ebon: They are in the cave, but they might be to many for us to take on. They have got the sword if youre still intrested.

[Colton]

Cole: Hmm.. We should attack at nightfall..
Ebon: Why wait..
Cole: You just said that there might be to many for us.. I say we wait till it's dark.. And try to strike down as many as we can with suprise and suprises are always better in the dark..
Ebon: OK.. nightfall it is..

I take a loaf of bread out of my bag and pass it to Ebon
Cole: We need to gain some energy and have a little rest or we won't but up much of a fight either..
Ebon *brakes the bread in two and passes one half pack to me*: you're right my friend..
Cole: Don't call me a friend just jet..
Ebon: From where I'm from you don't share your bread with anybody but your friends..
Cole: Ok..

when the bread is finished..

Cole: May I ask.. What are your motives.. Why are you after Richard..?

[Tratos]

Market in the Fire Clan.
Stone: *calm and cheeky* That's a good blade there.
Warrior: Aye, got the steel from Heidrigskaar's mine. Prime quality. Worth every pint of wolf blood.
Stone: Whad'ya mean?
Warrior: The beasts are getting reckless. Da orcs used to collect hides and clear of them frozen wolfs packs. But now they're gone.
Stone: So you say that the wilderness now is even more dangerous than with the orcs.
Warrior: Aye. The hunters are not complaining. But I can't say da same for every man out there. Ya see, we fought orcs for generations. We know their habits, *laughs* we used to hear their clumsy walk for miles away. *with a dark gaze* But these, the wolfs, these are real hunters - like to ambush, like to hide. Arrrr
Stone: Right, so, how much do ya want for the blade?
Warrior: 75 ore nuggets.
Stone: What? This here dam blade took only 4 nuggets to make.
Warrior: How do you know that?
Stone: I am a smith.
Warrior: *measures Stone from head to toes* *then laughs* You a smith, boy, I don't know what kinda smith you were, but you sure lost some meat from ye bones, buha-ha.
Stone: Bleah, barbarian.....
Warrior: *despisingly* Scram.... *laughs a bit, then turns the head around*
