Rudgar caught sight of two bandits robbing a hobbit. Curiously he sat behind the clearing up the road. He recognized one of the he thought. Lotar was his name he thought. That would be the one person he was looking for. Now he had to try and talk to them.
They had gotten some bread off of the halfing. They where walking down the road now he could catch up with them quietly and quickly. Rudgar came right up from behind them and said with a calm voice. “You won’t make a good living robbing hobbits of there bread ever day.”
The two turned around surprised and almost started a scuffle if Rudgar hadn’t done what he did next. “No fighting now I know you Lotar, or at least of you.”
He was now bowing to the two bandits. “Rudgar master chicken thief at your service. I’m as stealthy as a cat. I move more quickly than a crow in flight. I can out wit the best. I can out wit the rest.”
The two looked at him now with a strange look. He knew what that meant. What in good word is this? But his little display proved that he was stealthy at least. It also shows just how clever he could be. The two relaxed a bit after his quick words. He put them at ease a little with his strange but friendly behavior.
“What is it that you want from us?”
“I don’t plan on being a chicken thief all my life! From what I’ve heard Lotar you seem to be a quick witted man. I want to find bigger things. I intend on gold and silver in my future. I believe if we worked together with each other and the bandits here. We could have a nice amount of it in our future.”
He looked at the stranger oddly. Rudgar smiled and looked present. What where they going to do now. He showed them some of his talents. He didn’t want to go back to chickens. Good at it as he was. He still wanted sacks of gold not feathers.
