Month of Tempests, 28th day, 440

After the dust settles Opal goes to check on the girl while the guy who got himself free and joined in on the fight is talking with Mordryth. I decide to check on the other prisoner. He's a pretty hefty guy. He seems to be alive. As I check to see if he's ok I also check to see if he has anything on him. I could use some compensation for my services (plus I'm pretty much flat broke). I make sure to do it surreptitiously to make sure no one catches me. Looks like he's been picked clean of anything of value or coin. As I get done and go to check on what's going down, the guy who broke free and helped in the fight gets all up in my face asking me what I'm doing. I tell him I checked on fatboy to see if he's alright and that it seems they've left him without a copper to his name. He warns me not to try anything and to show respect. What the hell?!? We just saved your asses! We end up getting into an argument. After a minute or two arguing with the duffus I say to hell with this and walk off. I didn't even get his name and could care less.

We decide to camp here and after disposing of the orc body futher out from camp I eat what's left of the supper Mordryth made. The girl and the fat guy are still out cold. Ben Grad is looking over the girl like a hawk, staring us down with dirty looks as if we'll try something. Buddy you ain't worth it or the time.

After we get some grub in out stomachs the dickhead I got in the arguement with tells us his name is Jarin, an ex soilder and sword for hire. He tells us the caravan he was guarding got waylayed and he and his employer got kidnapped to boot. Tough luck. A little after that I get in another argument with Jarin. Seems he doesn't like my tone and lack of respect. He tells me I would never make it in the military. I tell him to kiss my [CHAIR] and to cram his military expertise. I also tell him he wouldn't last a day on the streets of swansy. What a [FLOPPING] [BENCH]! I ignore him for the rest of the night and try to get some sleep, but I'm to worked up. I end up looking up at the stars and wonder how the hell did I get myself in the mess.
