HANS


Kamelin's words had broken the silence in the room, as well as Han's day dream. Hans felt a bit of shame after she had spoken, who was he to put a price on a women in need. Han's swung his body off the bed and grabed his gear off the ground. He pushed his way past Lucan and headed down the stairs. As he made his way to the stabels, he could be heard curseing, mumbleing about missing a good nights sleep for a women. As Han's was mumbleing to himself about the women, he didnt notice that she stood behind him. He felt the presence of someone behind him and whiped around, bringing his sword to her throat. realizeing it was her he quickly droped his guard, and gave a soft apology. She just stared at him, as if she was trying to figure out what was running through his mind, this only made hime more nervous around her, and his actions showed it.

He quickly saddled his horse and brought it out, then mounting it brought it to the front of the Tavern. He waited a few breaf moments, then the tavern keeper came out. "Leaveing already?" asked the Tavern keep. "Yes Im afraid so" Hans replied in an anoyed tone. Hans threw the man a gold coin "Thats for the mess I made inside, and also tell the others I went up the road to scout ahead, tell them not to wait." With that he spured his horse away, a lite cloud of dust filled the moon lit night

 

[Lady Bliss]

Kamelin was amaized at Hans quickness and was supprised hed even heard her behind him.. she wondered if Lucen would join her as well and if he did would he give her more advice on what she should and should not do..." i probably shouldnt have asked them to join me but i dont know if i can do this on my own... Damn well better get going we can camp tonight in the woods that Lucen was talking about and i can explain there..i hope...." Kamelin got on her horse and road out after paying the Tavern keeper for all damages...Please dont let it be to late she thought he must still be alive.... he has to be......

 

[Slance]

Lucan ran out with the lady and he jumped on his pure white horse and said. "I will help you but I doubt we need him." He said gabbing his had at the man who helped them he had rufused pay enough to eat for a month but he was probly an adventurer like my self or a mercanary so he needs to pay all the special things." But.... if we need his I guess he can come but we shouldn't have to pay him..... but if we hav to I will me lady... Kamelin." Lucan said. "You have a tent I expect?" Lucan said the lady nodded. "Good because they have friends and we will need to be far in the forest before that but I am a ranger and I am intunded with the forest now we ride!." Lucan wisperd in the horses ear because he was riding bare back and the horse reared and bolted forward so did the ladys and the mans because they were right behind.

HANS

Hans spured his horse down the road, not clearly thinking, his mind more on Kamelin. What was a women such as her doing in these parts, what was the fight over, why the Hell do they need him? As he thought these things out his horse jolted, nearly throwing him off. His horse began to snort, whining, it sensed danger and did not aprove of what lay ahead. As Hans tried to settle his horse a voice borke the night air. "Where are you in such a hurry at this time of night" The voice startled Hans, and he began to scan the night for the voice. "Answer the question" another voice broke in. Then apeared a man before him, his cape and cloke covering his features. Then from behide Hans, apeared two more figures, one resembleing a dwarf. Hans settled his horse then spoke, "Im off to find better accmmodations." The man in front of him laughed "Seems theres a Tavern back the way you came." "Yeah, seems to me hes running away" Said one of the men behind him. The man in front of Hans took a step foward "Maybe you should tell us the real reason" Hans steared his horse to the right, but then 2 more figures apeared. "Damn, five of them" Hans thought. " No sense running my friend, your surounded" spoke the man in front of him.

Hans took a deep breath and spoke, " The reason Im in a hurry is because a few men died back there in that tavern, and I wish not to have the same fate." This response brought some whispers and curses from the men around him. Hans determined this did not sit well with them and they were probaly friends of the slain men. " I see " said the man in front of him " And who was it that killed these men?" " I say it was him" a voice broke in " Ya, kill the bastard" spoke another. "Silance!!" shouted the man in front. Hans determined he must be the leader. " Excuse my men friend, they mean you no harm, nor do I." The man paused then continued, " All we seek is information about what happened, tell us and your free to go. . but I warn you lie and you will die." The tone of voice told Hans the man was serious, but he figured he was good as dead weather he told the truth or not. Hans slowy reached for his sword, makeing his movement unoticed. Hans began to speak, " Well to be honest, I know not all the details, I happened to walk in on the back end of the fight."

"I see" stated the man, "And what did you see then" Hans paused a moment, picking his words carefully. Hans continued, "Well, i saw three poor soles dead and. . . . " Hans paused. " And what?" asked the man his voice showing signs of anger. " And what else did you see?" Hans tighten the reigns in his hand and yelled, " I see you dieing!" With that Hans charged his horse at the man, blade in hand. As he charged buy the man, someone else jumped on his horse, stabing a dagger into his back. "Get him" shouted one, "Kill Him" yelled another. Hans threw the man off his back, steadying his horse he brought his sword down on the attacker. The man screamed in pain as the blade riped throught the man. Hans again spured his horse ahead, vearing into the thick forest. Behind him he heard the sounds of his pursuer's as they tried to make chase. After a short time Hans lost the men, but he also found himself lost. Loseing blood from the wound Hans felt himself fadeing in and out, before longn he passed out, falling from his horse.

 

[Lady Bliss]

Kamelin and Lucen caught up with hans just in time to see him charge the leader of the group....Lucen had told Kamelin to stay where she was but saw Hans headding for the woods so followed him to help him with the wound he had receved, she was more of a healer than a fighter anyway... besides she new these men they were there to stop her...and she couldnt risk them catching her.. not now not until her brother was safe.. she just hoped Lucen would be ok..
Kamelin could hear the sounds of the battle still when she found Hans fallen from his horse. and she could hear the men dieing and new that Lucen fared well, he would be mad at her she new but she was glad she disobayed with the wound Hans receved in his back had she waited he may not have made it. as it stood now he would be uncouncious for awhile... Kamelin had removed his cloak and tunic in order to get to the wound as well as stared a small fire to keep Hans warm.... and used what little herbs she had left in order to help him..... " this will have to do" just then Lucen road up... " i know your probably mad at me for not listing to you again but if id have waited he would be dead by now, i am sorry." she said.

HANS


Hans faded in and out, his sense of bearing was off. In his deranged state he swore he saw Kamelin attending to his wound.
"NO" he blurted out, "You must not remove my shirt, my tatoo" Hans passed out again. Hans woke latter into the night again, still deranged from the loss of blood, he mumbled out comands he had given in past battles. He kept mumbleing on stateing his name and rank repeaditly. " Im Captain Hans Soltys, Second company, Mercenary Army of Lansing." He kept repeating this over and over again through the night. As night drew to a close Hans awoke, he weakly made an efort to arise, but found the pain to strong. Kamelin saw him move and quicly rushed to lay him back down. Hans looked into her eyes, and with pleading eyes spoke, "Please cover my tatoo, it. . . . its not to be. . seen by your kind." With that Hans slowly closed his eyes and drifted back to sleep.

 

[Roughneck]

OOC: This is a tribal Tatoo witch I stated in my Bio in the begining of the story. It runs from the right side of my Chars neck and down his right shoulder and arm. The tatoo is of elfin design and stlye, and actualy tells the story about two lovers, a human and an Elf It tells how there love was forbidin and how the two brought a child into the world through their love. The story also details how she was of royalty and the act brought shame to the clan. The tatoo tells how she and the child were banished from the clan and that this story was put on the man so that all Elfs could see his sin. It also states that any elf that sees this, must shun him and if he enters any village be killed instantly. Just wanted to give ya info on that, do what ya wish with the info

 

[Lady Bliss]

Kamelin had seen the tatoo and respectfully covered it back up... " i know how you must hate my Kind for what this means and i am very sorry this had to be but our ways are so stricked....i am not like the oters of my kind i shall not shun you.. "she said. with that Hans passed back out... Kamelin new he was still weak from loss of blood and had a slight fever. Lucen hadnt said anything to her when he came even after she had tended his wounds... she new he was still mad and had good cause to be. why had she dragged these two into her probelms look at how much theve done for her and them not knowing anything about her except what they see. Kamelin had set up her tent and having done so moved Hans inside because it had started to rain and the fire wouldnt last much longer. Lucen had gone to stand watch while she kept an eye on Hans.... Kamelin maid a small bed for herself not far from Hans inorder to make sure his condition didnt worsen.

 

[Slance]

Not too mad

Lucan had jumped off his horse now bleeding slightly in the side but not too bad he was nagery but he knew that if he got angery at a lady he would just kick him self for it later so instead he said. " I am mad... but I have no right to be I could leave any time I wanted but.... I do not choose to leave when a lady is in need." He said bowing low. "But I ask you next time stay out of the fray... I'm not saying you cannot battle but I'm saying you shouldn't have to and it would be a great lose if you got hurt or... killed." He finished and sat down and lowerd his head buising him self with looking for trackes of animals.

 

[Lady Bliss]

Kamelin watched Lucen go... she didnt know what eles to say. she turned and went back in the tent becasue Hans was starting to wake up. Had he heard her erarler???? probably not he had passed out as she said it. she nealed down next to him he was awake, here she said as she gave him a drink from her water skin." How do you feel ? she asked.

 

[Roughneck]

HANS


Hans opened his eyes slowly, his head was throbing and his body was sore. As his scaned the area, he rested his eyes upon Kamelin. He saw the look of cincern in her eyes and knew she had taken care of him. As she brought the water skin to his lips she asked him how he was doing. Hans let out a small chuckle, causeing him to choke slightly on the water. "I've been worse, but I thankyou for saveing me " said Hans as he warmly smile for the first time to Kamelin. Hans looked at Kamelin for a long time, neither spoke a word. Then Hans broke the silance, " I think it best that you leave me behind, I will only burden you with my wound." Hans paused, then spoke again " I would also like you to keep my secret between you and I, no need for your friend to know." Hans turned his head away from Kamelin, the memory and shame he bared hurt him deep. Kamelin tried to comfort him, and Hans snaped back " Dont tuch me, or be damned yourself, Get Out." Hans rolled over, closeing his eyes to fight back the tears.

 

[Slance]

Lucan found a few tracks of animals but it probly wasn't any thing he wanderd futher thinking ever wandering the lone ranger he thought to him self he heard crackling in the nearby bushes and he drew his long bow but some thing grabbed him form behind and his mouth and some thing hit him over the head and the rest was black for a time at least.

 

[Lady Bliss]

Are all you men alike she angerly mumbled now your mad at me too. cant i do anything right..........................so he hadnt heard what i said earler i suppose its for the best she tought.
Kamelin did as Hans asked and left the tent..."ill leave you alone for now... ill be back only to tend your wounds and yes your secret is safe with me but i am not sure its in my nature to leave you behinde regardless". she replyed as she went outside...
she saw that Lucen hadent returned yet......where is he she woundered i hope he is alright. it will be dark again soon. while she waited she boiled some more water for fresh bandages for Hans and wished there was a way she could help him but there wasnt and she new it.....".Damn our ways.".Kamelin turned and went back inside the tent.
Hans was still awake. "Hungry she asked? There is a stew ready, i am not much of a cook but it should do for now."..she paused ..."..i am worried about Lucen hes been gone along while now... i know he can take care of himself but still i am worried...... you two are the only ones i have no one else will help me.. i know that sounds selfish."....Kamelin realized she was rablining and stoped. sorry she said, ill go get you some of that stew now. and then ill change your bandages... um with your permission of corse i dont want to offend you.... and she paused i am not like the rest of my kind... wether you chose to beleave me or not is up to you...when Lucen returns ill do my best to explain why i am out here trying to find my brother........he was taken hostage durring an attack on my Village. because we are twins they thought he was me.....no one will help me because......... well ill explain more later.... for now rest.....i shouldnt have kept you up this long.

HANS


Hans heard Kamelin return, he felt he owed her an apology, but didnt know how to go about saying what needed to be said. He remained silent while she talked, afraid that opening his mouth might make matters worse between them. When Kamelin had briefly explained her problem and her concern over Lucen, Hans decided he was going to do something. He determuned in his mind to see this out, and for once in his life to give rather then take. Kamelin brought the stew to Hans and helped him eat, he could have fed himself, but did not want to make her feel unwanted.

After he had finished eating Kamelin changed his banadges, as she was finishing up Hans gently laid his hand on hers and softly said " Im sorry." Hans laid back down and went to sleep. Latter that night Hans woke up, he was restless and bothered inside. He did not like the fact that he was couped up, but it also bothered him that Lucen had not returned. Hans laid there for quite some time before he decided that Kamelin was asleep. He quietly got up, makeing no sound, fearing to wake Kamelin. As he moved he felt the pain of the wound, but his grit and dertermation inside shut the pain out.

Hans made his way to his horse and began to unpack his equipment. He decided this time to be prepared for whatever might be out there. He put on his fine Chain Mail Tunic, next he put on his Studded Leggings, along with his Studded sleeves over his Mail. He slid on his boots and Ring Mail gloves. As he straoed his Gorget around his neck and placed his Norse Helm on, Hans felt a sense of pride. It had been al ong time since he had worn his full battle gear, and inside he deaply missed it. He mounted his horse with ease, the pain an after thought, as his heart and blood pumped with pride. As he swung his horse around and unstraped his Heater Shield Hans saw Kamelin emerge from the tent. She stared at him with sad eyes, it almost seem to Hans like she was fighting back tears. Han's heart sank as he looked at her, and knew what she must be thinking. " I will be back, I must find Lucen" said Hans in a firm voice. Hans steared his horse over to Kamelin and spoke again. "I must do this, its the only way, besides you will be in danger if you go." The look Kamelin gave him was cold, and he could see anger behind her eyes, he knew she didnt belive him, she must belive him thought he thought. Hans pulled out a small bracelet and tossed it to her. "I know its not fancy, its mearly a farmers bracelt, but its all that I have from my mother." Hans said. He took a deep breath and continued " As long as you have that, you have my word and promise to return." Wuth that Hans rode his horse into the forest to find Lucen.

 

[Slance]

Spiders and Orcs and Goblins oh my!

Lucan felt some thing slam in to his stomic very hard. Then he coughed and felt a warm substance comeing from his mouth that he knew only to well as blood. He grogely opened his eyes to see a little leering creacher that he knew was a Goblin he also saw it was holding a large stick and it was grinning.The little Goblin was about to bat Lucan an other one when a Orc with a fether on his belt came out and said in orcsh witch Lucan knows cause he studied orcs as his favored enamy. "Radbug! Stop that we want him alive!" the little Goblin mutterd some thing and sulked off. The Orc came up grinning showing all his rotten teeth and a few good but scary because they were sharp as fangs. The orc said in common. "Ranger who have you come with?" Lucan just mutterd in common. "I am a lone ranger I wander by my self." The orc looked qute confused but knew Lucan was speaking in riddles so instead the orc said. 'Fine I will find out when I stick there head on a pike." Lucan smiled as the dagger droped from his sleave his hands were tied to a thick pole and his swords were gone he started cutting the rope the Orc said nastaly. 'We saw under the hood you are a filthy elf.... they tast good though rosted execialy!" The orc pulled out a large flashion just as the rope snapped Lucan ducked and the falshion stuck in to the pole and Lucan slammed his shoulder in to the orcs chest as the orc rolled over he saw some other orcs coming and about 10 Goblins Lucan slashed at one with his dagger but there were to many then one goblin went flying and Lucan looked in to the 12 glowing eyes....

 

[Lady Bliss]

Kamelin didnt know what to say....to Hans as he road away she was afraid.... but didnt want to show it, would he truly come back. she felt the braclet in her hand and looked down.... yes if not for her than for this he would......and yet still she dared hope part of that reasion for his return would be her she didnt know why but she felt drawn to him some how.....
.No she thought i must put these feelings aside at least until i know for sure wether or not my brother lives. until then i pray he finds Lucen and that they are both alright.... while i waite tho i can gather more herbs for my pouch and strip some more cloth for bandages..as well as due some hunting to stalk up on food supplies..... for some reasion i think ill be needing them.

HANS



As he made his way throught the forest he tried franticly to find a trail or clue as to where Lucen could have gone. His heart sank as the hours passed and no clue to the elf could be found. Then his heart became uplifted as he came across a fresh tracks, could this be Lucen. Hans followed the trail a short ways, when he realized how wrong he was. Hans rode right into an Orc scouting party.

Hans muscles tensed, and he strained in the saddle as he tried to back away from the Orcs, but they had already spoted him and made haste to confront him. For a breif moment they stared each other down, the Orcs not sure weather he was alone or witth a group. The silance was broken by the sound of arrows , three missing Hans by mear inches. Hans charged into the group, bring down his sword with all the strength he could bear. He fought with desperation and anger, his skills overtakeing that of the Orcs. Within a few short moments five Orcs lay dead, the remainder fled in fear. Hans reared his horse around in the direction of the fleaing Orcs, and began to pursue them.

As Hans cut into the forest to make chase more Orcs apeared. Hans knew at this point that he could not win this fight and that Lucen was going to have to take care of himself. Hans reared around and made haste back to the camp. Hans roded like a bat out of hell, branches smashing across him as he tried to make haste. As Hans came into the clearing of the camp he saw Kamelin tending the fire. She looked up at him and saw the fear in his eyes. Hans in a frantic voice yelled "Get Out, run for your life" The look in Kamelin's face showed she was confused, but Hans had no time to explain. He quickly jumped off his horse and grabed her by the arm. " I said ride out of here now, no time to explain!" As Hans got Kamelin on her horse two Orcs emerged from the forest. Hans looked at Kemelin, then slaped her horse. " Get Out ! " he yelled as her horse rode off. " I will catch up with you" Hans said as he turned around to face his foe. Hans ran for his horse, smashing into the two Orcs, he swung his sword with ease and made quick work of vile creatures. As He mounted his horse Hans could see the figures of more Orcs emerging from the forest. He wasted no time with them and supred his horse in the direction of Kamelin, hopeing she was safe.

spider

Lucan stared in to the eyes of the beast for at least a minuet it was about the size of him a giant spider all the orcs and goblins were backing away they knew there were more and they didn't want to meet them he heard them start running the spider did not pursue it just stared at Lucan. He heard some thing like a muffled screem some ware in the woods but he didn't know what it was it souned like they didn't have time to screem. Finaly after some time the spider jumped and luged at Lucan he ahd been intisapating this and as the spider did so Lucan ramed the dagger in to it's eyes the spider spitting in fury Lucan ran to a rack witch held his weapons and he leaped back at the spider one word broken the other fine he slammed the broken on in to the head and the fine one he sliced in to the body Lucan turned to run but he knew that it would get more so when he got in to the woods and the giant spider was retreating he shot one skillfull arrow and got in the head and the thing slumped to the ground to die. Lucan had no hope of exaping so the last orcs and goblins fleeing he hewed with ease and pleasure though he was quite brused adn hungry ok he was quite qute bruesed. He looked at the 5 orcs and 6 goblins laying hewed then he heard the noises or another battle but it stoped. He ran towards ware he heard the noises and he came out on to about 10 orcs dead and a lot of goblins there was more poring in through the trees Lucan fiecely took down about 5 of the orcs that were surounding him but there were to many and he was surounded he gave a blast of a whistle that lay on a chain on his chest and the orcs stoped for a moment afraid and Lucan hewed the head from one but they started coming in a gain but then Lucans horse witch was almost all white came in jumping and snorting and trampeld about 2 orcs wa'll Lucna hewed 3 more as they were in shock Lucna jumped on the hore as arrows flew past him one stricking him in the shoulder as a few more orcs poured through the bushes and he rode off hungrey badly injured and lost.

 

[Lady Bliss]

Kamelins hors had bolted along ways before she was able to gain control over it again. "Orcs damn".... Hans i have to go back for him...i cant leave him to fight them alone..just as she was turning back around to go help him she thought she saw some one.....Lucen oh...god no.. Kamelin road her horse up next to him just intime to catch him and keep him from falling to the ground. there was an arrow in his sholder and he was losing a lot of blood... i have to get .. her thoughts were inturpted when about 12 little goblins decided to come running threw the trees at them some shooting arrows others poisned darts, Kamelin new it wasnt the best way to do things but she pulled Lucen over infront of her on her own horse and gave her horse the command to run. she new she wouldnt be able to out run them but hoped and prayed Hans could get to them in time. " hump... Orc's and Goblins..."

 

[Roughneck]

HANS


As he rode throught the forest his mind kept shifting from the Orcs to Kamelin. Was there a conection between them, could the Orcs be involed with those men back on the road? Hans weaved through the forest with great speed, but soon found himself lost. hans also noticed that some of the banadges had torn, and that his wound was open again. After a short time of self debate, Hans decided to head South East, he decided that at some point this forest would end and maybe he could find a village or town. As sunset neared that day Hans hopes came to fruit, as he emerged from the forest to an open field of wheat. Hans smiled, knowing hat if there was wheat, there would be farmers, eitch ment a town was near buy too.

As the last rays of the sun set behind the mountains, Hans made his way into the town. The town was of average size, and looked to quite large. He was sure a town such as this would have a doctor as well as an Inn with decent rooms. Hans latter learned that the towns name was Harren, and that it lay a day and a half from the coastal city of Pannatell.

After stableing his horse and paying for a room at an inn, Hans made his way to the town doctor. The doctor shook his head as Hans removed his chain mail tunnic, witch at this time was seaping blood. Hans shirt was soaked in blood from the wound, and the doctor did not seem pleased to be dealing with such a matter this time of night. Thought it was a bit painful, the doctor made quick work of the wound, telling Hans to take it easy for the next few days to allow it to heal.

As Hans lay on his bed that night, crisp cool sheets under him and clean banadges on his wound, he could only wonder. What happened to Kamelin or her friend Lucen, had they made it out safe, or were they even alive for that matter.Hans had determined to take the doctors advice and rest the next few days, but he would also be planing, planing a way to find Kamelin. For she still had his bracelet, and he still had a promise to fulfill.

 

[Lady Bliss]

Kamelin had mannaged to get to some higher ground there was a cave she could hide Lucen in their for now and come back for him she didnt want to leave him but had no choice. Kamelin looked around and saw a clif like ledge above the cave. i can do this she thought. she dismounted her horse and sent it running threw the woods as she hurried and scrabled to make it ontop of the cave after putting Lucen inside. she just barliy made it when the goblins came. she had her bow and arrows ready. the goblins stoped a moment as if listining for sound then not to far off heard the horse as it ran threw the trees and brush. about 6 of the 12 took off after the horse. good kamelin thought only 6 to deal with that helps some what. and before they knew she was there she began to fire, as qick as she was she was able to down 3 of them the rest scattered one behinde a tree near the base of the cave one behind a bolder not far from the first and the other in the tree line near the woods. she ducked as they began to return fire.....i cant keep this up for long....... damn.....were doomed i am sorry Lucen.. i only wish i hadnt involved you or Hans in this...Hans thats it he will come he promised for his bracelet at least he'll come.. around night fall kamelin mannaged to kill of two more and had been shot with a dart the tip had been poisned.. i can make it if i can kill off this last one then i can help Lucen... and ...and then myself.......about three hours later kamelin finaly mannaged to kill off the last of the goblins. and gather wood for a fire. she went into the cave and lade down the wood to start the fire but first she went over to check on Lucen.. he was alive and had a slight fever....she took off her cloak and laid it over Lucen he needed it more right now than she did... she started up the fire and got out some of her herbs and began to make a powder to place on Lucen's wounds....... that finnished she took some coloth and clensed his wounds as well as used the powder and bandaged them...

He reached on to his belt taking one of teh small viles and looked at the poisen and knew what one it was and he though it pays to train as an ranger as he puurred the contents of the vile on to the wound on her arm pushing up the aurmer so he can pour it on. He knew it might not work there was always a chance it wouldn't and even if it did it would take at least a day for her to wake up not to mention she''ll still be really weak. Lucan got his bow and whent togarding the cave entrace he was hungrey but he knew it was wrong to search a lady's things for food. He sipped his ale from his flask.

HANS



On the third day Hans woke up feeling better then normal, the sun shined in through the small window, the rays playing on Han's face. He had spent the past three days resting in the town of Harren, gathering his strength and giveing his wound time to heal. Han's had also sent a dispatch to the costal city of Pannatell the day before, requesting the help of some friends. As Hans lay there in the bed, enjoying the feel of the suns rays, a soft knock was made at the door. Hans swung out of bed and opened the door slightly. It was the Inn keeper, " Begging your pardon sir, but there are two men dowstairs that wish to speak with you" said the humble man. Han's nodded and closed the door.

Hans got dressed and made his way downstairs to greet his visitors. As he came into the main room of the Inn, Hans grined when he saw who it was. " Jerry. . Bill ! " Hans shouted as he entered the room. Both men got up and greeted Hans with warm embraces and pats on the back. As the men sat down they order a round of ale to take in the special occasion.

" So, how long have you guys been in town" asked Hans as he siped his ale. " just got in a bit ago " said Bill. " Yeah, got your message yesterday evening, and we've been on the road since" chimed in Jerry. " wheres the rest of the guys, Mark, Dill, Hally. shouldn't they be here?" asked Hans. " sorry mate, they went on another campaign, were it" said Jerry as he drank his ale. Bill looked long at Hans, he could see his friend was troubled. " So Hans, whats the problem?" said Bill. " When you left several months ago we thought we'd never see or hear from you again." Jerry grined, " And by the looks of you, I'd say you've found some trouble." Jerry added.

Hans let out a deep sigh, " Its a women friends." said Hans, The other two men let out a long laugh, " A women mate, what the hell are you thinking" said Jerry. "heros dont get paid, nor do they live long" added Bill. Hans shot an angry stare at the men, " Its more then that, and besides I'm a grown man" said Han's with an angry tone. It was quiet for a breif moment, then all three men broke into laughter. " Its all good mate, where behind ya all the way" said Jerry as he finished his ale. "Yeah, and we'll even be willing to drag ya to the alter too" Bill said, nearly spiting the ale out as the three men burst into laughter again.

As the noon sun hung in the air, the three men made there way towards the eastern edge of the forest. With them they carried an extra horse, packed with supplies and weapons, for the men knew what lay ahead would require strength, courage, and most of all luck.
