AO - 6

And so, Faust, Orion, Andreas, Mirany, Jeffery and Nervote continue on their journey

Nervote replaced his arrow for a secound time in his quiver and shook they strangers hand. "Who are you?"
Tierra grinned, this was going to be enjoyable. "Me? I'm a poor peasent called Tierra and who are you mighty travellers?" She fluttered her eyelashes trying to be innocent.
Nervote smiled "We are no mighty travellers rather only people saving the world." He laughed to himseld.
"My name's Faust. We're on a quest. Talk to Andreas, he's the one who knows the most."
Jeffery spoke "It might be best for you if you weren't seen with us. If you are you might become hunted as well."
Tierra laughed. "Haunting? I've seen worse! I mean what are a few monsters to a whole army?" She gasped. She always gave her cover away like that. "I mean...Oh no how terrible."
Andreas picked up an iron bar from the cart, it was about the size of a quarter staff, giving Tierra a hard enough hit on the head to just knock her out, "I don't trust her, we're taking her with us." With this he gathered her up and put her in the cart, "Keep your friends close and enemies closer."
Faust shook his head, "You could have just asked."

The shinkran cowered before it's master, afraid of the foul beings wrath. A seething voice spoke from under the heavy veil of the high monk, "Sinvelling creature, you have failed my wishes." With this it simply raised a cruelly deformed hand and forced a wave of pain at the undead creature, forcing it's soul into eternal pain of the void.

Back in the cart they had starting go again the female human, still knocked out, lay motionless on the floor.

Nervote spoke quietly not wanted to wake thier captive. "What did you have to do that for? You should have just let me kill her in the begging."
"She might be useful, or were you not listening to what she said?" Andreas went over the mechanics of his cwellen, making sure nothing was wrong.
"I heard what she said, however obviously never read into it as far as you, what do you hope to accomplish with your kidnap?"
Faust looks up at the dimming sky. "It's gettign late. That horse can't keep going all night. We're going to have to stop and make camp."
"Accually its a donkey" said Jeffery, getting out some wire to bind Tierra hands.
Andreas hopped out of the wagon, "We'll rest here Faust, and then I shall talk to our new guest."
Nervote followed Andreas over the side of the wagon and began to help them set up camp.
Andreas finished his set up and then poured a small bit of water on Tierra's head to wake her up, "Nervote, come hear, if she does not tell us what we need you might just get your wish of killing her."
Nervote walked over too Tierra and crouched over ans whispered to Andreas "I do not wish too kill her now, I just wish she hadn't caused us any problems." 
Andreas smiled and whispered back at him, "But we don't need her to know that now do we?" He poured more water on Tierra's head, "Wake up."
Tierra head pounded. She opened her eyes slightly and found blurred figures infront of her. She groaned as her eyes focused.
"Hello princess, how's your head feeling." Andreas took out a wineskin from his pack, "You might be wanting some of this to help get rid of your headache, at least for a little while."
Tierra looked at the skin carefully. "Thank you." She took it and sipped it carefully. "So what's up with being so nice after you knocked me out?"
Nervote laughed, he pointed at Andreas "That was his doing."
Faust nudged him in the ribs. "Yeah but your the one who wanted to kill her."
Nervote laughed again, "I suppose so."
"We should sleep. Some one should take watch. if you like i'll go first."
Faust sat while the others slept.
