I araise my voice and say:"Gentlemen we should decide what to do with the time given to us as I see it we have 3 options,
A we remain here and travel with this group to fornost,
B we start travelling to fornost on our own, which will be faster, not very social (looks like he doesnt care about that arguement) but a bit more risky,
C we can start travelling and try to find out who killed the messenger"
vardalain says nothing before he's certain of his beliefs, wich he mostly is. Fornost is their main goal, they must get there as fast as possible. But the people here were hospitable, as a reward he'll treat thew wounded as best he can, but he's not considering going with them till fornost. And following the assasin might stray them too far from theyr goal.
*Aniica wanders around looking at the orc bodies. She shakes her head in disgust. She walks over to Palanfirith.*
Do you know what they wanted? I have a major question also. Where are you guys going? Are you going to stay here, in the camp?
*Aniica's hawk flew down and landed on a rock beside of Palanfirith. The hawk had a piece of parchament in it's beak. Aniica took and opened it. She read and put it in her pouch and turns to Palanfirith, and in her most sarcastic voice says:*
I just received word from a friend of mine. Nothing much, just a bunch of orcs taking a stoll about a days march from here.
*She shakes her head and sits down on the rock.*
(Technically, of course, Aranui is going to Fornost in a cynical attempt to get prestige for his family by getting 'in' with the Arnorian nobility, but I guess he probably didn't say that...)
Vardalain, one figure in the far distance is splitting off from the others.
Aranui, Grum has followed up on what you said about missing people. Apparently one of the minstrels has gone missing, though his body cannot be found.
