They sat discussing future plans, and stratigies of battle, that was right up
womble's alley, and got him quite happy to talk. Virgo was looking better all
the time, or was it just the mead? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
Womble broke his thoughts for a moment to ask Virgo, if he thought any of
those "BloodRing members" were following him.
"if they are, he said, "they will be easy prey for a group like this!"...., and chuckled.
Womb looked a bit distressed, but implied that we'd deal with that problem
when it shows...it's ugly face! Arrggghh!
The discussion led to the wagon and the lake and, how they were investigating
around the lake, and the fact that the wagon was there and needed
to be fetched,back to town for re-fitting and stocking
...and to check that squeak in the left-rear of the wagon...
...or was that the rat all along?
Jurak asked the tall stranger
[color:"#33cc33"]Virgo,well you could repay us...
by accompanying us on our challenge's,
and joining our group of questseekers.."[/color]
Virgo said he would be more than happy to accompany them on their trip...
....
Womble looked at Jurak, and nodded towards the door,
[color:"orange"]"meat must be gettin restless by now,
and he's gained like 20k....
just from being tied up there!![/color]
he finished his glass, and walked over to give the empty to jessica,
then went to the outhouse, to see if Viper had fallen down the "hole" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
Nero came down the stairs, heading towards the table......
[color:"#00cccc"]
Jurak needed to go to see Floyd, about getting a hold of some grease,
or oil for those squeaky wagon wheels, and figured
now was as good a time as any, seeing that nothing was happening at the moment...
[color:"#33cc33"]I've got to go see Floyd the smith, for some grease,
and i shant be but a moment!.....[/color]
Jurak got up from the table, and told Virgo where he was going, and that he
would be right back.
Virgo's reply was unintelligible, but he managed a large grin,
and a nod that he understood.
On his way to the smith's, Jurak noticed there were more people in the streets,
than before, he asked one passerby what the commotion was....and they replied
that news of the deamons was spreading across the land....and they just came
to have a look....and see for themselves.
Floyd's shop was open and Jurak walked through the door, and overheard part
of Floyd's conversation with another customer....
"no, i deal in metalworks and speciality items only, if you need a
woodcrafter, you will have to go to the next town Trojik, or far to the north",
he was talking to a short, oddly dressed gentleman, of the midget variety.
He was wearing the most curious clothes, Jurak had never seen anything like his
cap,which was made from leather and had little flaps coming down over the ears,
with two clear circular lenses, fastened together with a leather strip hanging
about his neck. His overcoat was very thickly padded, and also made of leather,
the trousers of this fellow were very baggy with numerous pockets down both
sides, and his boots were of finely polished cowhide. He walked up to Jurak and
asked, if there was anywhere around, to get two fine pieces of knot-free
timber, for this here project i'm working on...
as he waved the papers in Jurak's face..
[color:"#33cc33"]Ummm...yes there is trees of that straightness, and knot free for the first 38-40 meter mark,
and i have a friend... who is very good with an axe,
and would certainly be very interested in those plans your waving around <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />
the trees are close by at the Azure Mtn. lake area,
and they are very tall...
why would you be in need of such fine grain timber, my friend?[/color]
The man went on to say that where he came from,
there are very few trees left...
well the good ones anyway,
they've all been used for the building of boats, housing, docks, and shops,
and the rest was exported to the many islands up and down the coast,
anyways....the reason i need this clear lumber is to fashion some air blades
for a machine that these here plans are for.... i know it works already,
for i have one at my home, but one of the blades was hit by lightning,
and it cracked up the whole length, ruining it!
Your friend....the one who handles the axe, where is he?
[color:"#33cc33"]He is at the Inn, my friend.....come we will go meet him,
his name is Womble, and I am Jurak, i'm sure you both,....
will have much to talk about....Mr.....ah, Mr....[/color]
"Oh, quite rude of me I must say indeed,
and he stuck out his hand and said,
" pleased to meet you Jurak, my name is Yeager!"
[color:"#33cc33"]Hold on a sec, Yeager i've got to get some oil from Floyd,...[/color]
he went to Floyd's counter, tossed a few coins, for the oil, and walked
back over to Yeager....
They left the shop and were soon back at the inn, when they walked in, they
saw Virgo was still sitting up....at least,!
Jurak and Yeager walked over and sat down... again...
to wait for Womble to come back from checking about Viper, <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif" alt="" />
