"Caelin? That's 'Ol' Martrym,' right? The weirdo who kept speaking in third person, with the accent that seemed to bounce around all of Ansalon and back?" Jamna asks. "Yeah, he looked pretty pissed off last time I saw him. Saw him packing up his things. Don't think you'll be seeing that one again."

"All over a misunderstanding," Eliana says softly. She does seem strangely sad though. "He still has my ring too," she adds thoughtfully. She had given him her signet ring because she trusted that he would keep it safe. She trusted him even if he was a little all over the place emotionally. A part of her didn't want to believe that he would just leave, considering what appeared to be at stake at this point, but it appeared that he did.

Jamna raises a brow. "Ah, so you two were...well, he'll probably pawn the ring at the next town, knowing that type. A valuable lesson to be had. Never trust men. They'll always disappoint you in the end."

"It was up in the air as to what we were," Eliana says to Jemna. Though, she raises her eyesbrows at her when she says that men will always disappoint. "Speaking from experience, are you?" she asks.

"That, and common sense," Jamna replies. It's at this point the party falls silent, as they can clearly hear the sound of paddling to the north. Someone seems to be slowly approaching the camp from the water.

Henry - HP: 44\44 - Conditions: None - Active Effects: None
---------------
Henry finds he has little to say on the matter being discussed - Jamna is a spy, so it's not surprising at all she's a bit of a cynic. It's the sound of someone approaching that catches the interest of the squire, who quickly dons a shield, grabs a javelin and readies himself for a fight.

Eliana stands up upon hearing the paddling coming from the water. It was her first instinct to tell the group to hide as she was sure it was the lizard people, but Henry was already up front ready to face whoever or whatever was approaching, so she just remains ready for whatever might be heading their way.

Three canoes, with three Jarak-sinn each, paddle their way to the shore. Upon disembarking, the Jarak-sinn appear surprised to find strangers in their camp. They quickly draw their weapons and one of them barks something out in the Draconic tongue.
"Who are you, and what have you done with the others?"

Eliana had a feeling that it was going to be more lizard people, but she speaks back to them.
"We were sent from the inn," Eliana says. "There are strangers traveling with the latest caravan, and they are getting suspicious, so we were sent ahead to send help back to take care of them."

The Jarak-sinn hiss and speak to each other in low tones, before one of them speaks to Eliana again.
"What you say makes no sense. We only deal with the cargo, not the caravan. Where is the cargo? Where are the three who were supposed to collect it? And who sent you?"

Eliana continues to keep speaking to the Jarak-sinn.
"The cargo has been loaded into the storehouse, and marked," Eliana says. "But, when the caravan that brought the cargo in, there were strangers with that caravan, and they became suspicious. The other three are waiting in the secret tunnel just in case the strangers come across it, but they are going to need help taking care of them. As for who sent us, Bog Luck sent us."

Chantilly "Cinnamon" SweettoothHP: 19/43 - AC: 17 - Perception: 17 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: No Chantilly quickly raised from her makeshift bed, a bit annoyed that she didn't get to hear the rest of Zakkoth's story. " So.. Huh, are they friends or enemies?" - she asks Eliana, unable to understand what was going on.

"Why would the scouts stay behind and send others to get us? Why didn't you stay behind and send the scouts instead?" the Jarak-sinn asks. "She is lying!" cries another one. "Perhaps, but..." "No, we have our orders. The elf said any and all strangers are to be captured. Take them, and let the elf figure it out," the other one argues. He then draws his weapon and gives a battlecry. It's not clear what Eliana is saying to the Jarak-sinn, but they seem confused and suspicious. They talk among themselves, but one of them suddenly yells something and draws his weapon. He then gives a battlecry, and most of the Jarak-sinn move forward to attack. (OOC: Henry and Eliana are by the fire, while Chantilly and Zakkoth are inside the tent.

Henry - HP: 44\44 - Conditions: None - Active Effects: None--------------- Henry is about to charge when it seems a diplomatic solution might be possible, so he leaves Eliana to talk with the Jarak-sinn: he certainly has doubts these people might be persuaded to leave them alone, but since he's quite spent after the intense day and the others do not seem in a better shape, words are quite preferable to swords. But of course things can't really go their way, so whatever Eliana has said to the Jarak-sinn was not enough to convince them, so he bashes the sword a couple times on the shield both to intimidate their opponents and give himself a bit more confidence; he then moves towards the closest Jarak-sinn and swings his blade in wide arcs to cut deeply in their side and hopefully fell them. {Spoiler}Initiative bKl_odnN1d20-1 Henry moves if needed, otherwise he stays where he is and attacks.

"Enemies," Eliana says to Chantilly. She tried, but it was really no use, so when they move in to attack, she starts casting her spell (lightning bolt), and directs it towards the three on the right.
