<This is one of three mails today. Temorya and Kaleb will receive a separate email detailing the goings on in the cave, Shalandra will receive an email detailing the goings on with the horseman and this email that will go to everyone as normal>
You stand for only a few minutes, talking to Meraerth and cutting through his bonds enough so you are sure he would be able to snap them if needed. You hear a whistling sound above you and look up to see your companion Temorya emerge from the crack in the cave wall.
"The ruse holds, but barely. You are to travel to the cave. I will follow at a distance!" Temorya shoots behind a rock outcropping just in time as Kaleb storms from the cave, closely followed by the two Orks.
"Can't hold your hurlg! And ya want dat Derrock 'elp you out now! Told 'im that dealin wiv a merchant would bring more trouble dan its worth!" The ork appears to be extremely upset. His companion just appears disgusted. Kaleb snorts loudly at their antics, the front of his tunic and beard soaked through.
"Ye kinnae expect ta serve slops to a guest and expect 'em ta keep it down. And as fer Derrock, perhaps you'd not be putting words inta his mouth! Ye are more than happy ta be wearing the fruits of our previous negotiation" Kaleb points to the spider silk armour the orks wear, "that maybe this be beneficial to you as well."
The Orks bluster at mention of them serving slop, knowing full well they talk about the Hurlg that must have been served you all are not surprised at Kaleb's reaction. None of you having had to drink it before you cant say from experience but you have certainly smelt it before in the mugs of others, and the smell alone was enough to make your stomach backflip.....
Kaleb looks to you all. "Get ready to leave. They will take us to Derrock so we may finish our business." You see in Kaleb's eyes that he is extremely nervous. "Place 'im on Shalamar and make sure his bindings are tight!" Kaleb motions at the prisoner and then at Shalandra who now walks up the incline, her mount in hand. You were sure that she had placed her horse in a safe place and look out over the area for the figure that she was sent to talk to. There is no sign of them and you look to Shalandra, who appears confused but begins to pack her things on Shalamar and you lay Meraerth across the back of Shalamar.
Collecting your things you begin to follow the orks who strike out in a Northerly direction toward Derrock. You follow behind the orks far enough so that you can talk safely without being overheard, but they make sure you are close enough so they can keep an eye on your actions.
<You will probably have a fair bit to discuss this round. As Kaleb's player is away and possibly not able to reply, I will run his character for the week, so feel free to go ahead and ask.>
<Temorya is possibly in a position to be able to get in close aand talk as well without being noticed.>
<The mid-week post will be back this week as well>
<Thanks>
