Night ride

Tiella looked back and for a few anxious moments it appeared that Sigrid and her band would try to overtake them but a loud roar from the hill top signalled a fresh assault by the trolls and the bandits were forced to turn and fight salvaging what was left of their temple fort.

Treno was a two day ride from thier current position and the hapless band spent their first night in near silence as their merchant benefactor rode on through the darkness. Majvoc was sullen, mourning the loss of his loot... again.

Tiella wondered if the man had been cursed with ill fortune for such an obviously skilled thief he had a spectacular inability when it came to keeping hold of his ill gotten gains. She said as much and his response almost caused Balar to take his axe to the man.

Balar however was in no fit state to start a fight the shadows affliction together with the blood loss from his wound were taking their toll. She eyed the sleeping form of the stranger, she guessed a man but could not really tell as he was dressed in a bundle of rags. He seemed to be clutching something tight to his chest and she peered forward to make out what it might be but it was too dark.

Dyvia was fast asleep snoring like a heard of auroks and to make matters worse she was leaning on the shoulder of Luna who looked horried to be stuck so close to the snoring drooling dwarf.

"Give her a nudge Luna and come sit over her." Tiella pointed to the empty space next to her and Balar shuffled over to make more room.
