"There's only about 20 of us in our small little village. Nobody there knows anything about him, we haven't been back all day. I want to get home, please help us?"

Re: An Unchanging Reality (Take two)
The first one started to say something, and his companion jerked a bit, causing the first one to stumble a bit, and the second one spoke up instead. "I'm sure you're misunderstanding my friend here. Nobody at our village would know anything about the man as far as we know. He's been chasing us specifically, but every time we go back towards home, he cuts us off. As for what he looks like, we never got a good look at his features. He wears a hood, but i know he's human. He carries two very unique looking swords, and is really good with a bow. We're lucky he hasn't hit either of us yet, but i tripped and twisted something trying to run from him." He pulls up his pant leg to show that his leg was injured, before letting it drop to cover him again. "Please help us get home? We'll pay you well if we can get back without being killed, or you can take care of him yourself."

Eophyn
The elven girl looks at her human and then half orc partners, then back at the humans. "So he's not chasing you but keeping you from your home? What does he do to keep you from getting home?"
-
Re: An Unchanging Reality (Take two)
"An attempted arrow in the leg can be a powerful deterrent. Don't you think? Every time we try to return home, he fires at us until we retreat." The man starts to limp towards Eophyn, a smile on his face.

Re: An Unchanging Reality (Take two)
Eophyn
"Is that all he has done... Fire arrows at you?"
-
Re: An Unchanging Reality (Take two)
"Aiming specifically for us, yes. We won't go anywhere near him. You wouldn't either if you were us." The one who was speaking first starts to grumble, but his companion elbows him and he shuts up immediately.

Re: An Unchanging Reality (Take two)
Eophyn
"Okay then, how do you know what his sword looks like if all you've seen him is at bow distance?" she asks accusingly.
-
Re: An Unchanging Reality (Take two)
"We were close enough to see him. I don't know why, but he didn't have scabbards for his swords. If i had to guess, he was probably proud of them. Why do you think we ran from him so much?"
-
Re: An Unchanging Reality (Take two)
Eophyn
She looks at her companions to see what they want to do.
-
Re: An Unchanging Reality (Take two)
"No. I'm not going into the forest to chase after a guy I'm not even sure exist, because group of people who told us about him may be lying. Don't look at me like that, I'm not going. No. No way. No way in hell." Serph says, but you can already see resignation in his voice, because he sees looks on Eophyn and Dromet's faces and doubts those two will let those ppor guys at this madman's mercy.
-
Re: An Unchanging Reality (Take two)
"Guys, the least we can do is talk to this man for them and find out more. It is the least we could do and feel good about, after all, we would want the same, wouldn't we," Dromet looks at his companions with a doe-eyed look.

Re: An Unchanging Reality (Take two)
Eophyn
She shrugs her shoulders and says, "Okay let's go. Tell us exactly where he ambushed you and if you have any of his arrows, I'd like to see them."
-
Re: An Unchanging Reality (Take two)
"We don't have any of his arrows, but we'll show you the way. I appreciate that you agreed to help us out." The talking man starts to move towards the forest again, putting his hand against the tree to help him limp noticeably as he went. "It's about fifteen to thirty minutes from here to where he kept attacking us. I don't know for sure, but it felt like he was predicting where we would approach from each time we tried to go back."
-
Re: An Unchanging Reality (Take two)
"Then you go first, we'll know he's here when we'll se you running away." Serphs tells the man. "Why yes, I'm still not trusting you, why are you asking?" He adds sarcastically, seeing the look on man's face. "Do you people have names, by the way?"
-
Re: An Unchanging Reality (Take two)
Eophyn
"How far does he chase you?"
-
Re: An Unchanging Reality (Take two)
"Far enough, sadly. I'll be glad to go first, just so long as you guys would be willing to help us if he starts trying to kill us again." The man limps through the forest, with his friend following behind him nervously.

"F*ck!!" He turns and holds out his hand into the air, lights bursting from it upwards over the trees. Smiling, he talks quickly, while his friend reveals a dagger concealed in his sleeve and steps towards the party. "You'd do well to just give it up. Would save you a lot of trouble, after all.
