as the Arrows walked up the road tot eh GAtes, they saw many guards with Purple cloaks and Silver Helms.. some with spikes, some smaller , rounded points.
Kids watched their approach. Teh CAptain of the River watch stepped in front of Kree... Kree merely walked around Him, as Ivy walked around the other side...
there were gasps form some of the People and laughter from others. The Watch Captain hustled after Kree, but the elf made no sign of slowing down as his eyes swept the Inside of the walls for the market section.. he didn't have to look, too hard..it was near the gates on purpose., for ease shifting of goods.
..YOU WILL HALT! watchmen lowered spears, a few on the parapets had archers Draw Arrows.
Kree still did not stop,..if you have any real charges against us speak them now, or go back to Lickign the Merchant Lords Boots... I Do Not have time...
Then he Pivoted with force that made the Bottom part of his cloak flutter as the rest was held down by his Quvier and Pack... The Captain took a step back , as Kree said in a loud, but Cold Voice,..The Sand Folk have never been a friend of the Black Timber..yet we trade on good terms with them, along the edge of the River.....Now.. keeping that in mind? Ask yourself...how your families will feel, if you all die in the next 5 minutes, because your Captain measures the length of the offal the Merchant Lords pass?
A few of the Guards looked at each other..The Captain drew his sword....
..Let it be noted... The Captain drew his Blade first....he ill not be able to tell the tale himself...
..You pointed ear, forest Scum... YOu think you can Kill all of us!
Of Course not!.. I will kill you and 4 or 5 others.. the rest of my unit, will kill the rest....
Ivy was grinning and Nodding his head.
A SGT came up to the Captain,...My Lord?... The elf is right.. they have done nothing except embarrass the Merchant Lords....and..of course, yourself..but there is no law against that...
The Captain sheaths his sword.. Ivy just winks as he nods.
..You think you could defeat the Captain of the River Guard , Blade to Blade?
..I was the Captain of the guard, for the Imperial Palace , In Ironmound for 20 years.. so.. aye, My newest trooper could, most likely have taken and 5 of your people Blade to blade...Now..hurry.. ran and tell yor Masters you failed to kill me. Though, sicne you are still alive.. i am sure they will know that you didn't even try..
As they turned back around, the CAptain was frustrated ..but walked back out the gates.... Kree saw a small girl near a merchant Booth..she had a broken clay cup and was begging.
Kneeling Down in front of her, she looked at him, the pointed ears and the other elf near him... The others following close behind. ..Ivy?
Ivy kneels and makes a few gestures with his fingers... her eyes get big and smiles a bit.. she makes a sign, but hides her hands...Ivy grins,.Aye..she knows.
Alright little one... we need your help to save us time? We need to find .....the animals that walk on the sands.....the cheapest place, with the best animals... You be our guide.. and you'll fill that mug more then you have in a 10 day?
she nods,... please Sirrah.. then follow!
she gets up and walks ahead of the Arrows, leading them deeper into the MArket proper... people calling out wares... crowds... other beggars watched.. some smiled...there were some outlanders.. most looked like sages.. a few mercs...but scores of Sandfolk saw them enter the markets..and made way.
