Eliana "Well, that's pretty last minute now, isn't it?" Edhelri says, putting her hands on her hips. "I'm literally about to go to bed, as you said. Well, not now, I guess. I need to get dressed and start looking for a replacement before everything closes." She sighs. "Well, good luck to you in the future, I guess."
Henry Henry sits and waits in the common area while waiting for Eliana.
Chantilly Noohar tries to gently pry the girl off him, a bit embarrassed by this show of emotion. "There, there. It was nice working with you, too. As for us, once we reach North Keep, we'll probably sell our goods, stock up on whatever in that area is cheap there but expensive in the south, then start trekking back down to Haltigoth again."

Chantilly "Cinnamon" SweettoothHP: 43/43 - AC: 17 - Perception: 17 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: Yes Chantilly's eyes gleamed with joy: " Oh, so you always make the same route? That would make easier to catch you around when I'm done with my mission." - she cleans up her face and pats her clothes. - " Should we go search for my replacement then?" " I don't think I ever asked this before but... Where are you two from? And do you plan on going back home eventually?" - she asks as they walk, it was her last chance to chat them for a while, and she wanted to make it count.

Eliana bows her head a little bit to Edhelri, and apologizes to her for not giving her more notice. She then thanks Edhelri, and then takes her leave. There wasn't a reason to make this a long, drawn out process after all. Plus, she did say she would meet up with Henry, so once she was done, she heads back to the common room to meet up with him.

Chantilly"Originally, Qualinesti," Noohar admits. "And we cannot return. It was destroyed in the last war. Our people have no home anymore, but I've heard some have tried to eke out a living in the Plains of Dust." Eliana and HenryEliana joins Henry in the common room for their little expedition. (OOC: Can I get a perception check from you both?)

Chantilly "Cinnamon" SweettoothHP: 43/43 - AC: 17 - Perception: 17 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: Yes Chantilly's ears twich at the mention of the war and it seems she's about to say something before stopping herself: " Hmm... Well when everything is done you could come visit me back in Lemon! I know you would be both so popular with all the stories you know and the travels you did!" - she mulls it over before adding. - " Although you should probably leave your cargo someplace safe. A couple of miles from the village should be enough. Probably."

Zakkoth is happy he can't blush like those filthy mammals. He swallowed a tear, or at least he hoped so. Such a pure creature like Chantilly saying... the world is better with him? If she only knew.
He jumped up when the half elven knight joined them. 'Well. That.. was dealt with.' he say akwardly, and basicly run away.
He is buying a bottle of the best wine the inn has to offer, to give as an a gratitude gift to his boss, looking for him.

Chantilly "Lemon? Isn't that in Hylo? Uh, well, in the unlikely event we're ever in that area, we'll be sure to stop by," Noohar says. The three spend the rest of the evening interviewing candidates for guards.
Eliana and Henry Henry leads Eliana out into the wastelands outside of town, alone, at night. Just as she is beginning to worry just what his intentions might be, he uses his divine magic to summon a horse, then uses it to give them a ride back to town and stable it with his other horse.
Zakkoth Zakkoth finds Beyd at the inn and informs him, with a gift of wine, that he will be seeking employment elsewhere.
==============
The following morning, the party meets up at the warehouse to find that the new caravan is all ready to go. They notice that among the other hired guards are Fenn, Jos and Jamna. Jamna acts as if she's never seen any of them before, but Fenn immediately grows angry and points at them, particularly Caelin. "You!" he hisses accusingly.
"Ah, so you know each other?" asks Ardred. "I take it introductions won't be necessary then?"

Chantilly "Cinnamon" SweettoothHP: 43/43 - AC: 17 - Perception: 17 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: Yes Chantilly was already feeling cranky enough for having to say goodbye to the Serlim brothers, she could do without having to see Fenn and Caelin fight again. " Yup, we traveled together in another caravan." - she answers to Ardred. - " Those two have butted heads before, it would probably be a good idea to keep them separate." - after all, she didn't want any of the two to get hurt, and keeping them apart was the best way to achieve that.

Eliana moves to stand in front of Caelin once he is pointed out by Fenn, but it is more to stop Caelin from doing anything stupid. "While they have butted heads," she says quickly. "You won't see any trouble from us," she adds to Ardred.

It seems Zakkoth's moment with Chantilly, has influenced him in a positive way. He isnt acting like a jolly drunk youngster, but not so omenouse and depressed. He start to get in terms with his age. He has lost something.. but it was a change mlre then anything else. If he was younger he would never have befrieneded Chantilly. He probably would have hurt her...
Maybe becoming old is a good thing. Maybe that is the right path for his heart.
He isnt looking very reactionery. Zakkoth chuckle a bit. "If there are no feuds in a group, than it means you have found yourself in Lord Soth's army." He shrug and try to wave off the concerns about Caelin.
"Dont worry about me. I am a big lizard with an axe, and also have few lizard tricks." he say it, beliving it was the way mammals would think of him. "I get paid, I protect, no reason to make it complicated'

Ardred scratches at his chin. "Well, we're all professionals here, right? I assume we won't have any problems then. Let's get things moving then. Everyone ready to go? Time is money, and every second counts here."

Quevalin - HP: 44\44 - Conditions: None - Active Effects: None
---------------
Quevalin proudly rides his new horse, a heavy beast that would be right at home on the battlefield; Valera, the horse Leosin gave him, seems to be quite grateful to not have to carry the armoured squire anymore but the new horse, yet unnamed, seems to have little problem doing it. Still, Feen's word sours the half-elf mood that answers back to Ardred "Yes, we are. And we are ready to move." in the matter-of-factly, somber and humourless way he carries himself as Quevalin; that said, he spurs the horse and starts trotting to follow the caravan, at the moment trying to avoind even glancing at the cultists - sure, they might know who he is and might try to kill him, but better avoid raising suspicions with the others.

Eliana looks to Caelin to make sure he is okay before she mounts her horse.

Caelin seems quiet and withdraw today, but it's not clear why.
With that settled, the new, smaller caravan sets off. Fortunately, they don't run into any problems and within a mere ten days, they reach a large roadhouse of sorts. A very large man with some ogre blood in his veins, from the look of him, steps out into the courtyard with some laborers to greet the caravan as it pulls in. "Name's Bog Luck. Welcome to the Carnath Roadhouse. My men can load your goods into the storage room for the night; if there's anything of particular value, we can have it locked up for you. Got room and board for your people, too."
Ardred steps off one of the wagons and nods. "Sounds great. Got a place to grab a bite and drink?"
Bog Luck gestures to a two story building at the south of the courtyard, with stairs leading up to the second story. "Kitchen's up there. Also got some stables for your animals down that way, and the rooms are over there," he adds, pointing in the appropriate directions.
==============
It is Fleurgreen 24th, at High Watch.
(OOC: Eliana can make an insight check on Caelin, if she wishes.)
