Glem stops staring blankly into the distance.

Out of Character:: Has any time passed? Anything interesting in the camp, other than sparring?

Out of Character: Why would I be in the tavern room where I went to sleep if I wanted to go outside in the daylight to see my surroundings?

"....what is this?"

"SIX!" Screamed one of the pair as he put down a gold coin upon the table and looked smug about himself. For a moment Caldric was silent but then he laughed.

"No my friend quite sorry, that is not correct. Does your friend care to make a guess?"

The other merchant, significantly fatter then the first glanced at this friend and then back at Caldric's hands. He was clearly deep in thought...good, Caldric said to himself. The more they think it through the harder they make it, the more they lose.

"Errrrrrrm. Is it Nine?" the fatter man was more discerning. He had probably multiplied the number by two and taken one away, clever but still wrong. Caldric shook his head and the man slapped a gold piece harshly down onto the table.

The game was simple yet addictive. Both men, prideful, drunk and arrogant of their own abilities and having lost, demanded to play again for 'double stakes' to win back their money. Caldric gladly agreed.

"Ok Gentlemen. If this is four." he said flashing one finger into the air. "Then what is this?"

Again the cycle of guessing began. One spoke and lost then the other one spoke, and lost. The sheer joy of this was palpable to Caldric, it was sweet and juicy as ripened melon on a warm summers day. Exactly what he needed to restore his faith in the universe.

The two men were, of course, unhappy. They had now each lost 3 gold pieces. And it was time to beat a hasty retreat. After all it wouldn't be long before the men, no matter how stupid they were, figured out the game.

"Well gentlemen, so sorry but I must be off. I hope you've enjoyed our little game" Caldric announced whilst pocketing his gold. "If your local maybe I'll see you again sometime and you can try to win back some more money eh?

With that he stood up, sharply grabbing his pack and headed outside - it was time to see the 'sights' of this, for lack of a better word, town.

[Out of Character:]You didn't say that you were going outside, you just said you were going to look around when it is daytime.[Out of Character:]

When Krusten walks outside, the Armored Figure is nowhere to be seen. It is early morning and no one seems to be walking about or doing much of anything.

--------

[Out of Character:]Yes, just so you keep pace with the others, one day has passed. And, you know that no more raids will go on for a little while. There may be some special missions that you can get from just asking around.[Out of Character:]

----------

The tracks lead a ways, but after a few miles ride, Twill and Khane see cooking fires in the distance. There appears to be a ring of sand dunes surrounding the cooking fires and you can see 1 orc sentry patrolling the ring of dunes. The rings diameter is only about 20 meters and you can tell this because the side oppossite of you is raised higher than the one closer to you.

"How do ya think we should do this?"

----------

The change in lighting from being indoors to outdoors forces Caldric's eyes closed. But after blinking a few times his vision adjusts. The town appears as it usually is, with a few people wandering around the market and several others simply standing around. There really isn't much to see in town besides the tavern, market, and guard barracks.

The light, still a minor annoyance, bled into Caldric's eyes causing him a mild headache.

I hate small towns...

Surely there must be something to do here. Some entertainment to be had at the locals expense. Or perhaps he was looking too hard. Perhaps the power to have fun rested with him all along.

He began scanning the environment.

hehehehehehehehehe

There it was. The local barracks.

He puffed his chest right out and walked down.... Not before taking a moment to change his face though, that would have been a mess if they had the wanted reports.

There much better

He made his way through the town to the barracks and entered, hoping to find 'work'.

Krusten goes to the local tavern to see what this place has to offer and what the talk is about. She keeps her dog at her side.

Out of Character: I'm kind of confused, am I in the same town I started from or in a different place?

Glem arranges a private aside with Geirill during which he asks him if there is anything to do besides fighting practice. Glem doesn't enjoy using swords, taking pleasure in the misshapen weapons of other races or even the weapons inspired by tools, like his scythe. If Geirill has no missions, he asks if there is someone else he can ask.

"Well Khane, it looks like they found a good spot to camp...for us that is. I think what we will want to do is to work our way around to the other side of those dunes. If we can get there without being spotted by the sentry, I can fire down upon the orcs and you can dispatch the ones that come running up the dunes. If luck is on our side it will only be the number that made the tracks and not the body of a larger group. But with the advantage of high ground we should be able to handle it.
Twill scans Khane again, measuring his skills, nodding in satisfaction to himself, he attempts to guide the two of them unseen to the opposite side of the camp. Twill Strings his bow and keeps it ready.

Out of Character: - If the terrain allows for concealed travel with the horses we will attempt to get around the camp while leading them, if it is trickier than that we will leave them staked and go on foot.
