    A curse and a hiss from the bushes. The spring of a red cloak and the silver flash of a blade come loose from its sheath. Short steps saw the brigand on line toward Hawkflesh. The blew spectrum of shrouded water trembled and shook. Darted towards the Redcloak and whallopped against his wrist...

    A sharp laugh came from the brush. "Shut yer gob, hunter!" The droplets of water suspended in the air glowed gentle in the direction of the voice once more. "Now we are going to-" A croak. Like a swarm of moonlantern flies, the shroudwoven water glowed all at once. Lenri, on the...

    "A bold bluff, knife ear!" came a brash voice from the brush. "But its we who've got an arrow trained on yer chest, and a blade ready for yer heart!" A rustle. Fast in the reeds. Sound dampened by the rain. Whilst the glitter of the shimmering water droplets still hung in the air about...

    Lenri grit his teeth, the knife still firm in his hand as thought on what came next. Paul moaned and rolled on the ground, stunned by the hard blow to his chest. Lenri's eyes flit to treeline, to the shrubs. From the bushes, a pair of brigands watched, as the rain poured all around them. An...

    Fear reached done its icy hand and took hold of Paul's spine. The clumsy man fell back as Hawkflesh approached, his back splashed in the mud. Lenri Kept his distance, a knife little match for a longsword. "Grab yer spear Paul, this lagger ain't so soft," his voice barely carried over the...

    "What in the bloody," Paul said slack jawed. As a piece of apple fell from his mouth. Lenri let his half eaten apple fall to the ground, and he grabbed for a dirk at his waist. The dull steel came free, and it gleamed in the afternoon light. "Fat chance that," he said, muscles coiled and...

    Upon the breeze came the sweet scent of apples. Between the rustle of the leaves, and the snap of twig and branch underfoot, came the loud crisp crunch of apple flesh, chomped into with sharp tooth. A hearty laugh, and the sound of some clank come across the woods. "Whole haul like this,"...

    "Don't follow?" Mirani asked with a quirked brow. A croak. "Understood," Toadwyck said, and picked up a long branch he had laid against the entry of the burrow, a new leaf sprung from its heft like a bold standard. Mirani looked to the Todokin, hand gripped around the knife handle that...

    Mirani eyed Hawkflesh. Suspicion softened some as the man sat in his ponderence. A croak. "You are going to burn the one on the left," Toadwick corrected. A hissed breath through clenched teeth, a scrape of tool against stone. The flatcake skate across the stone and flung off the edge...

    A cold shiver ran up Mirani's spine upon hearing Hawkflesh speak. Her lips twisting together as her brow scrunched. She shook it away as the long man stretched his limbs. Moved the cakes upon their flat stone with the help of a wellshaped twig. Two prongs, U shaped, helped push and scoop the...

    A croak. Golden toadokin eyes shift to regard Mirani. The halfling frowned. Scooped up one of the last two mushrooms, and made for the mouth of the hollow. Kirikin's eyes followed her. "Care then, see you after a spell," a quick salute. Mirani stopped in her tracks. Smiled, and gave her...

    Mirani's nose scrunched, and her lip curled as if she'd smelled something odd. The twitch gone from her face. "No, but thank you," she stated. Shook her head. "We had some ground salt," she offered. Miles a pinch and sprinkle. "For seasonin?" A croak. "With luck, we will recoup what we've...

    Mirani stifled a laugh. "Hawkflesh?" She chimed with disbelief. "What sort of name is that?" A croak. "The sort a sellsword gives himself I reckon," Kirikin Answered quick. Head ticked to the left to let his eye get a good look at the much taller man. "Kill lots of hawks?" He asked curious...

    Mirani fell the small distance she'd been hefted off the ground by the rope, landed with a thud. Worked the soreness out of her muscle and bone as the world turned the shade colder. Toadwick gave a croak, as he worked the gag out of his beaked maw. "Sure," he sounded low as he pulled the rag...

    Suspicion, hard as steel, shined there in the cold green of Mirani's eyes. A knife she had managed to work out of her boot, firm in the palm of her hand, hidden up her sleeve. The tear of the chord she had sawed at but rat bites still about her wrists. "What's it look like, you gangly scare...

    The rustle and shift of robes and cloaks sounded soft against the whisper of rush and reeds, bending to the party's way.
