Re: Erastus 7th: Returned to Oleg's Trade Post
Arenhal looks at the others first, "Well, as for war gear, I'm doing rather well out of our work," he nudges the unstrung bow he carries, "so if either of you two," this to Valen and Lem. "Otherwise, a boar spear would come in handy."
"I will always return."

Re: Erastus 7th: Returned to Oleg's Trade Post
Valen smiles at the Kesten and gives him a quick prayer to the Elk Father. "A boar spear is a mighty hunting weapon indeed. I prefer to hunt with a bow though and I already have a fine one. I would like a mighty morning star though as much as I hate to admit it I have had to mix it up a bit." The cleric smiles sheepishly.
Valen turns to Colban after listening to Kesten. "Colban you have done a wonderful job of getting back on the right path. The Elk Father is proud of you and so am I. " Valen extends his hand. "Welcome back to the community assuming there is no trouble with your pardon. Have you thought about what you want to do?"

Lem shrugs at Arenhal. He is well equipped and happy with his new bow and his grandfathers sword.

Erastus 8th: A Corpse of a Bandit Lord
Colban thanks Valen, "Thank you very much Valen. I'm happy to have had the chance to change my life around. I think I'll stay on here for a while more, Oleg and I still haven't fully squared up yet, and I don't feel right leaving my debts unpaid at this point."
The group finds its way to the tables inside and a nice home cooked meal of Svetlana. The food is as good as always, small marinated hunks of boar roasted over a fire with fresh honey bread, a medley of tuberous root vegetables, and plenty of ale or wine. The meal is, as always, a culinary delight. You spend the time telling Oleg all about your adventures, and introducing Akiros and Auchs. Auchs eats and eats and eats, and has more than you think is polite, and Akiros manages to slow the big man down some, but you are a bit embarrassed by him and upset as he finishes off what you'd like to have had for seconds damn fast.
Eventually the evening run on to night, and you are seated around the fire outside laughing and joking, but the beds call to you, and one by one you drift off to the bunkhouse for a good nights sleep.
Erastus 8th, Late Spring
Morning arrives with bacon and eggs and cold cider. Hot baths, clean clothes, and a chance to keep your armor off for a while makes the morning a welcome time. By the time you are finished with breakfast Kesten Garess has left for Rostov with his prisoner and your news (and any letters or other things you wanted to send with him).
It leaves you with only one real mission to complete... the rotting body of the Stag Lord, and a date with a river.

Re: Erastus 8th: A Corpse of a Bandit Lord
With all buisness settleted here at the trade post Lem is eager to be rid of the Stag Lord's rotting Corpse. The next day he rises early and readies the horses for a little trip to Nettles crossing.

"Let's get going," Cal says, hopping onto the cart. "The sooner we get rid of the Stag Lord's body, the better, as far as I can say." Then he gives a wave to Oleg. "We should be back in a few days. Keep the home fires burning."

Seeing that the Stag Lord is slung over their pack horse, Cal climbs into Paladin's saddle and prepares to depart.

Erastus 10th: Nettle's Crossing
Erastus 10th: The Shrike River
It takes two days of riding through the planes around the Kamelands to come to Nettles Crossing and the Shrike River. The weather was rainy last night but the day dawned hot and dry and stayed this way throughout. Its now evening of the second day from Oleg's and you can see the river ahead. Riding up to the old bridge and river you dismount, the stink of the Stag Lord's body is now almost too much to bare for anyone.

Re: Erastus 10th: Nettle's Crossing
"Well," says Cal, "nothing ventured, nothing gained." He dismounts and approaches the old bridge, keeping a good distance from where the apparition appeared last time. "Get the body down," he calls over his shoulder. "And be ready to toss it in the river."
"Hello the bridge!" he calls out when he gets in position. "Are you here Davik? We have the Stag Lord's body for you! Your revenge can be complete at last!" The sorcerer is unwilling to simply toss the body in the river until he knows that Davik is still here to receive it.
